Meet Lisa Bode, PhD
I am a shamanic practitioner, writer, and researcher in consciousness studies. I live in Des Moines, Iowa, where I founded White Wolf Way—a practice built around the belief that healing is possible, that we are more than we remember, and that the inner life deserves as much attention as the outer one.
My work explores the meeting place between the academic and the sacred, the ancient and the modern, and the measurable and the deeply personal. Through writing, shamanic practice, and the study of consciousness, I am interested in the ways people find meaning, healing, and a deeper sense of connection.
I came to shamanic practice the way many people come to the things that change them, not by looking for it, but by being found. I am currently enrolled in the Three-Year Program with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, deepening my understanding of core shamanic methods and their application in contemporary life.
My first book, Little Leaf, was written for my granddaughter Abby. It is the first of many stories I hope to share. My writing ranges from children's literature to explorations of consciousness, spirituality, and the journey home to ourselves.
White Wolf Way is where it all comes together—the journeys, the writing, the research, and the tools I create along the way.
Welcome.
