Crow Medicine: Guidance & healing

In Celtic traditions, crows have represented wisdom, intelligence, and the ability to navigate between realms, serving as guides through darkness and transformation.

Jason Traweek is a Certified Hakomi Practitioner (CHP) and shamanic guide. He completed his training in the Hakomi method in 2018 and has since then become certified by the Hakomi Institute. He creates a warm and inviting space while guiding individuals inward with deep integrity and insight. His gentle and easy presence, combined with skillful guidance, offers a unique approach to healing. He draws from his training in the mind/body-based Hakomi psychotherapy method and a lifetime of practice in shamanic work. These methods bypass the chatter of cognitive talk therapy practices, connecting directly to the parts of ourselves that need the most attention. Together, you will find a path to healing through body and spirit.

Men's Work

It can be hard for men to find meaningful connections with other men in our culture. There is a pervasive belief that men have to figure everything out on their own and that asking for help is a sign of weakness or inadequacy. Maybe it even feels difficult to feel safe with other men. That can lead to loneliness, isolation, and despair. I know because I have experienced these things myself. Over the years I’ve learned a lot in my own exploration of connection with men and, ultimately, myself. I’ve learned that one of the bravest and most connecting things a man can do is to get in touch with his vulnerability. The truth is, we can find greater strength in tending to our wounds and our perceived weaknesses, because these are often foundational pillars that our egos stand on. Without looking at our hurt places, we will forever be on a compromised foundation in mind and spirit. That makes connecting with others in an authentic and meaningful way difficult.

For these reasons, I appreciate and enjoy helping men in their work. I’ve discovered that men feel safe with me in turning towards those vulnerable places. If you need help, let me know, brother — I’m here for you.

What is Hakomi?

Hakomi is a gentle yet powerful experiential psychotherapy that uses mindfulness and somatic interventions to heal attachment wounds and developmental trauma. Throughout your session, Jason will gently shift you away from habitual cognitive processes and back into your body and spirit.

Created by the internationally renowned therapist and author Ron Kurtz (1934-2011) with assistance from a core group of colleagues, Hakomi draws from General Systems Theory and body-centered therapies. Other inspirations come from Reichian work, Bioenergetics, Gestalt, Psychomotor, Feldenkrais, Structural Bodywork, Ericksonian Hypnosis, Focusing, Neurolinguistic Programming, Buddhism, and Taoism.

The method continues to evolve in response to ongoing discoveries in neuroscience, traumatology, attachment theory, and other related fields. While primarily a method of psychotherapy, Hakomi fits with many mind-body, educational, coaching, and wellness modalities.

Shamanic Work

Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice found in many cultures around the world, centered on a practitioner who acts as a bridge between the physical world and the spiritual realm. Shamans use rituals, drumming, meditation, and sometimes natural substances to enter altered states of consciousness, such as trance, to communicate with spirits, ancestors, or nature for healing, guidance, or wisdom.

The core belief is that everything in nature has a spirit, and spiritual imbalances can affect physical health and well-being. Shamans are seen as healers, protectors, and mediators who restore balance by addressing spiritual causes of illness, cleansing negative energies, or retrieving lost soul parts.

While originating in Siberia and indigenous communities of northern Asia, shamanic traditions exist globally—from the Amazon and Africa to Australia and the Arctic. Though historically associated with Indigenous and tribal societies, modern Western interpretations have evolved, often blending with psychology and alternative healing practices.
