I’m honored to be the featured spoken word artist at the gala for the RUFUS foundation. Their mission aligns divinely with my own:
Our Mission is to empower all people who have experienced life-changing abuses due to domestic violence and sexual assault and enlighten victims’ and survivors’ outlook on a brighter future. We are a faith-based organization that’s committed to the well-being and healing of all abused victims by offering them long-term, permanent or transitional housing, along with assisted counseling, therapy, educational assistance, financial assistance, and childcare.
As a survivor of sexual abuse and domestic violence, I’m proud of my journey to healing and recovery. The poetry I channel is my medicine and is meant to inspire others. Self-love and trust is a beautiful place to be today.
Here is the link to the promotional video for the gala:
My name is Maria Teresa Pratico-Swanson. I'm a woman walking this journey of life in truth. I am a certified master shaman, specializing in healing trauma. Practicing the art of shamanism has transformed my life, liberated my authentic spirit, awakened and freed my soul. I use my sensitivities as superpowers, and the power of love is what fuels my magic as a shamanic healer. My creativity is my soul's expression, purpose, and passion, which I express through my healing services, writing poetry, hosting a blog, dancing, painting, and practicing yoga. My motto is "Triumphing over Trauma". In 2011, after a lifetime of trauma I became aware that I needed to reconnect with my soul. Healing integrates all aspects of my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual selves. Unraveling conditioning and programming continues to take introspection, patience and grace. I'm committed to my practice of healing from the human experience as an awakened soul. I believe I am here to help heal humanity one heart at a time. I offer shamanic healing sessions and have written 6 books of poetry available on Amazon. "Emotional Musings" "My Soul's Language" "My Heart's Song" "My Soul's Light" "My Soul’s Journey:Lessons learned through love" and "My Soul’s Dance, Accepting the shadows while embracing the Light: poems about death and rebirth" For more detailed information follow this link

In light and in shadow, always with love. Namaste.
