Welcome to


Down to Earth


The Shamans Circle


A shamanic teaching collaborative founded by
Nan Moss, David Corbin, and the late Linda Crane.



Down to Earth is dedicated to the teaching of ancient and contemporary shamanic knowledge. Our aim is to foster an enhanced understanding of the nature of reality, so that we can create a more harmonious and balanced relationship with the Earth and those with whom we share this beautiful world.

By applying the timeless wisdom and compassion known to our ancestors we are able to learn, to heal - and for the sake of supporting the health and vitality of the Earth - we can help each other realize our full potential and responsibility as
true human beings.
