If you are awake to what is happening on planet Earth, you know you need to make some big changes now or the changes will be made for you. Humankind is the only species on the planet that is not in contact with how all of nature is in communication. We have put ourselves outside of Nature instead of embracing we are Nature. So ultimately, we disconnected from our true selves and everything that is alive above, below, and around us.

In the 26 years of writing the Transmutation News I have provided you with a road map to navigate through the times we have been living in and are living in now and how to connect back to the truth of who you are. I have shared practices to help you heal, evolve, and connect deeply with nature. You can pick any issue in the archives of the Transmutation News and any column you choose is relevant to you now. You will find tools and practices to help you now.

And in the November Transmutation News I listed some great gems I have shared over the years and resources you can continue working with to keep growing, evolving, and healing. And of course some are in my Announcement Section.

The landscape we live in is a holy and sacred garden. And we have the sovereignty and the power to create the life we wish. As I keep writing it is all about using our imagination to sculpt and keep resculpting our lives. But what most have done is let people in “authority” use their imaginations to create an unhealthy environment. You do have the opportunity in this lifetime to take your power back and do your inner work!

It is up to us to take back our power and sculpt the world we wish to live in without giving our power away. We have seen so many miracle events that have been sung about, written about throughout the ages, and we do know that we have more opportunities for beautiful growth and change if we do our work.

I have been reading esoteric books since I was a teenager and formally practicing shamanism for 45 years. Our only limitation is how we have forgotten we are a seed of Source. We are the infinite and can sculpt anything into reality.

As I wrote in November this is the last issue of the Transmutation News. I feel so sad about this, but at the same time I know it is time. I am following my journeys and what my soul is leading me to. And the only thing I know at this point is my life cycle is changing in significant ways.

For those of you who feel you need ongoing support:

Find support groups and local journey circles. Start a local journey circle. In my book Shamanic Journeying: A Beginner’s Guide I give instructions of how you can create a journey group in the community you live in. And there are a wealth journey circles listed on www.shamanicteachers.com.

As my cycle is changing so is the work I am being led to practice and share. The 5 month weekly journey group I led for the Shift Network was life changing for the circle but really life changing for me. So, I know I have more to share with you through spontaneous writings and lectures I will record. If you remain on my mailing list that is how you can find out what I am doing. I am actually going to adapt the 5-month program into an audio program with a workbook. So stay tuned!

What I have found is that in nature when a cycle changes there is a level of chaos that happens before the new cycle is in place. I want to take the time to settle in to how I am being called to be in service now and what that looks like.

For some people you have reading this column for 26 years. I want to honor all in our community that came together either from the beginning of the column or are a more recent reader. For you provided the space for me to bring through powerful inspiration for our times and great wisdom of the ancients. And we held space for each other. We performed endless ceremonies together for the elements and all in the web of life. We performed ceremonies to strengthen our community, and many shared the work in their own communities. The ceremonies we performed touched tens of thousands of people and will continue to.

I really feel that for a ceremony to end our time together of reading the Transmutation News the best way is to honor the spirits and Earth, the Sea, Fire (the sun), the Wind, the Moon, the stars, galaxies, the Universe, Time, and nebulae. They sang for us for 26 years years. We sang for each other for 26 years.

Here is the ceremony I would love to ask you to join me in. This is a huge time of letting go for me. So I would love to ask for your support. I would love for you to take some time in silence and acknowledge what all the teachings I shared meant for you, and how much energy Sylvia and our translators infused into the work.

When you read the December Transmutation News I hope you will spend some time in nature and in silence and reflection. Imagine yourself sitting with me in nature in silence together.

I love to leave offerings in nature as a thank you for all I received and all the inspiration that helps to carry me forth on the River of Life. Leave some beautiful flowers while you sing, drum, dance, sing in gratitude for all you received. Let you soul and Inner Landscape inspire songs and words of gratitude for our international community and make a commitment you will keep sending blessings out for all of us and all of life!

Sing in gratitude and keep singing. As you are in nature reflect on a gem you received from reading the Transmutation News and reflect on how it ended up helping you or changing you in some significant way. And if you shared it with others did you change their life experience and inspire them? Reflect on how far the work we did together carried blessings out to all of life and to places on the Earth and Sea where life forms are struggling to survive.

Reflect on the gratitude for being part of a living community that came together in ways that were possible to rise above the denseness of the collective and show the world that a new state of consciousness can be achieved and we will keep up the work to sculpt a new healthy world for ourselves and all of life.

Throughout writing the Transmutation News I have shared we might not see the healing or positive changes worldwide in our lifetime. But we do this work to carry light forward into the world and into the future.

We also celebrate the Winter/Summer solstice on December 21. What an honor to give thanks for our lives on this day and the lives for all the spiritual communities of all traditions all over the world who are doing the best work they can to be in service to life. We go within to hibernate and gather strength and resilience for the coming time of growth. For some this will be a time of summer and waking up and using the creative power of summer to create a new world for all.

In my recent journeys I have traveled to True Earth. I have seen myself as a being of light connected to everything on Earth knowing that they are divine beings and light.

We don’t want to use power to fight we want to use power to create beauty. Merge with the earth and elements where you live. Notice the state they are moving into to prepare and be present for the cycle we are in and moving to. Take care of yourself as Nature does.

Stop contracting and expand your spirit as huge as it can. Imagine being a flying being whose span embraces the Earth or swim through the Sea that has no boundaries within or without. We are immense spirits who can do anything!! The ancients showed us this. Now let’s use this time in our lives to remember the truth of who we are and all the endless opportunities we have to create what our soul and Spirit are leading us to.

The full moon is on December 4. This is a time for us to continue doing the work of Creating a Human Web of Light that we have been joining together as an international community to do for so many years now. And let’s always continue.

It would be good for you to journey or meditate to really experience the Earth as a living garden. And once you feel that experience your divine light rising in you connecting that light with Source and the divinity of the Earth. And we all emanate our light together while staying connected to our inner light, the light of Source, and the light of the Earth. And when we do this, we fill all of life with the light of life that is beyond the physical. This light is from the creator without and within and it is unlimited in what it can do. Trust in that. Experience that. And shine your light into the world on the full moon but daily also. Shamanism is a way of life. We do our practices daily and engage in large ceremonies as we watch the cycles of the Moon, the Sun, and the planet’s influence us change throughout the year.

If you just came to the Transmutation News as a new reader, please read Creating a Human Web of Light on the homepage.

I have been working with Dr. Jeffrey Thompson’s frequency tracks. I am finding they help me break out of the limitations of my mind, take me within, and I have amazing spiritual experiences in seeing other aspects of life I have not explored before. My consciousness is changing.

While listening and journeying to a track, I found myself at the end of the track becoming a tree. Not merging with a tree but rather experiencing life as a tree. The message I received while doing is that I have to expand my work with light.

In spiritual traditions it is said that the body is the Temple of the soul and Spirit. But what I was shown and felt during this journey is my nails are light and divine, my bones are light, my muscles, tendons every part of me is simply light. I experienced that light does not grow inside my body rather my body is pure light.

Part of my changing cycle is seeing that old paradigms that we all believed in might be limiting as humans evolve to new states of consciousness. And I find this exciting.

I hold deep gratitude in my heart for Sylvia Edwards who worked with me in partnership in getting the Transmutation News to you every month for 26 years and developing my website. It has been an amazing journey and partnership. I have no words to express my gratitude for Sylvia, who she is, and all she does for me and the world without expecting anything back. She is a true angel!!

And our translators have changed over the years. Eva Ruprechtsberger in Austria started the idea of translating and did so for so long and then Astrid and Barbara took over. Everyone of our translators put their heart and soul into getting the column to people around the world hungry for spiritual knowledge and inspiration. So we give thanks for the generosity of our retired and new translators. Their passion about bringing this work to their communities has been really heart warming and beyond my expectations. Thank you is not enough. Let’s flood our translators with love and gratitude!

Some of the translators on this list like Nello Ceccon, Astrid Johnen, Barbara Gramlich , and Lena Anderheim have been translating since the beginning! And some of our other translators have been translating for so many years now.

Our current translators are:

Pavlina Goodman – Czech language
Els de Graaf- Netherlands (Dutch)
Sandra Koning- Netherlands (Dutch)
Layla Morgan Wilde- Finnish
Karine Delabare- French

And to our international community thank you for all the support and love you have given me over these years!! I love you!! Please join me as you read this to be in silence with me for a bit as we together close up a cycle of writings that fed all of souls and kept us moving forward.

I wish you a beautiful solstice, holiday season, and a brilliant New Year! Let’s keep growing and evolving together.

Remember: A true spiritual warrior is one who can see past the shadow into the light!

My soul tree that went down the day I developed my brain disorder. And we both hold you in love!

Lisa Bonnice wrote such an amazing book titled Castle Gate: The Maxwell Curse Trilogy: Book 1.

Castle Gate is the true and tragic saga of a Scottish family whose dreams of finding their fortunes in the bountiful coal mines of Castle Gate, Utah, during the Prohibition era explode to one of the most devastating mine disasters in American history. Lisa did discover that one family was destroyed by a documented curse which has been wreaking havoc in countless lives, all over the world and centuries. This book is such a fascinating read. She wrote some other books I have loved, like Fairy Falls. I think this book might be dedicated to me. Check out her work on www.LisaBonnice.com.

As I am moving into retirement from teaching, I have recommended two amazing teachers from www.shamanicteachers.com to the Shift Network. One is Chetna Lawless, and the other is Helena Mazzariello. They do amazing work and when they teach in 2026, I will send out an email, and I will add a teaching or inspirational newsletter out at that time.

I have been taking classes from Trudy Scott for a few years now. She is known as “the neurotransmitter lady” and her work is extraordinary. Trudy does more research than anyone I know. I have always tried neurotransmitters for my mood and nervous system, but I did not understand how to use them correctly until I started working with Trudy. An example is I learned from Trudy how to use tryptophan to stop looping thoughts, which has been so helpful in the times we live in.

Trudy Scott also wrote a wonderful book, The AntiAnxiety Food Solution. And this is an amazing resource for people who struggle with mental and emotional states and don’t want to go the road of pharmaceuticals.

On the homepage of www.sandraingerman.com, there are a list of Resources that include short articles I wrote on shamanism and Medicine for the Earth practices. I also have a lot of YouTube videos listed you can watch.

If you are looking for a summary of all the Medicine for the Earth and Healing with Light practices, they are all in my book Walking in Light which is available in multiple formats. And if you are looking at how to perform shamanic ceremonies The Book of Ceremony teaches how to perform ceremonies, and I also shared ceremonies you can do for all we experience in modern life. If you are looking for how to deal with your toxic thoughts, How to Heal Toxic Thoughts is a short and powerful book I wrote.

“Polishing the Path of the Soul” (my audiobook) is one of the best resources I have for walking through these times from a state of grace. I was in such a deep spiritual place when I spent a week recording this audiobook. I don’t remember a recording I ever did that went this deep or far or embraced so much of the energy of unconditional love!

Llyn Roberts and I wrote such a beautiful book titled Walking Through Darkness, and then I recorded on my own, “Polishing the Path of the Soul. Don’t be afraid to explore the maps I shared with you for walking through dark times. With my book and audio you are provided a clear roadmap of how to keep walking forward, exploring the amazing territory of darkness and the healing it holds, and then how to emerge on a new path feeling empowered by your journey through the times we are living in and what you experienced in your past.

Of course, I feel my two most powerful books I wrote are Soul Retrieval: Mending the Fragmented Self and Medicine for the Earth: How to Transform Personal and Environmental Toxins.

I did write other books that I really love and still hold so much wisdom for us. It is just I wrote 13, so I can’t list all of them. But all of my books and audio programs can be found and ordered through the Books and Audio section on the homepage of this site.

I am still consistently posting inspirational posts on my Authors Page on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/SandraIngerman  and @ingermansandra on Instagram.

I love going to Shamans are Gardeners of Energy to rest from life and take in so much of the beauty that people post. It is my sacred space for getting away from the conditioned world.

It is important to me to know that I created these FB pages and Instagram account to give inspiration. Yes, I do promote as I do have new books, audios, and courses to share about. But my reason for posting now is to help lift us all up in these challenging times. I don’t care how many people sign up for my FB pages or my Instagram account. I am simply trying to keep our community inspired and moving forward with our work – those who want some inspiration, including myself!!

Sylvia Edwards has generously compiled a list of the ceremonies that have been shared so far on the Shamans Are Gardeners of Energy website. Below is a link to that page. This is a great way to find a ceremony you might need at this time!
