Jack Hebrank, PhD, PE –
I see Core Shamanism as a teachable way of investigating non-ordinary reality and living more fully from knowing its existence as well as interacting with compassionate helping spirits for learning, gathering information and healing ourselves and others.
A central theme in my life has been teaching. My teaching background includes having helped start and run a child-centered K-8 school and teaching undergraduate and graduate engineering courses for eighteen years in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at NC State University. I've also been a researcher and most of the projects I did were at the interface of engineering and biology such as how sharks swim, measuring heartbeats in chicken eggs and understanding the keyhole in human outer ears. To me, there is an incredible beauty in the physical mechanisms of nature. As a grad student I was fascinated by parapsychology and traded building equipment like random number generators for the opportunity to observe experimental work. Outside of work, I’ve biked and run, played soccer, danced (mostly Limon-style modern and Contact Improv), done Tai Chi, walked in the woods with my dogs and heated my house by cutting firewood with a two-man saw.

I’m the grandson of a dowser and do healing work with my wife in our healing practice. The healing has been mostly core shamanic healing, Reiki, and Angelic healing. My strongest mystical experiences, outside of our healing practice, include the death of my father and an all-night Long Dance that I’ve done annually in the mountains of New Mexico for two decades. I first encountered Core Shamanism in the early 1990’s, took the Basic a decade later followed by the FSS Two-Week Shamanic Healing Intensive Training, and completed by the Three-Year Program with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies in 2014. My helping spirits provide me with consistently practical and supportive advice that I find extremely valuable.

I live in the woods of Durham, NC in an owner-built house. I’ve raised three kids, have three grandkids, and help Marcia with her four grown kids. My formal credentials include a BS in Electrical Engineering, a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (both from Duke University), a Professional Engineering license in NC, and inventor or co-inventor on over fifty US patents.

I believe people learn best by doing and experiencing. Core shamanism offers well developed methods for people to interact with their helping spirits and, consequently, develop a larger view of the world and become more fully themselves. The opportunity to help others learn these skills is why I’m part of the FSS faculty.

Marcia McCollum Hebrank, MSW -
I grew up on a huge expanse of wide-open Southern Illinois forest and farmland, and from my earliest beginnings I reveled in the magnificent feelings of wonder and oneness that I experienced with the natural world. I often sat in silent meditation under the blue Midwestern skies, or curled up in the arms of a giant oak with our family cat. This sense of wonderment and connection with the natural world has continued to grow stronger all my life, but when I began studying shamanism in 2003, it felt like a real "coming home." I discovered Michael Harner's The Way of the Shaman in 2005, and experienced a deep validation for my early experiences on the shamanic path. I continued to study shamanism with local shamanic practitioners in North Carolina, and in 2008 I was blessed to be able to take the FSS Basic Workshop: The Way of the Shaman® with Dana Robinson. I continued to take trainings with the Foundation, studying alongside my husband, Jack, including Harner Shamanic Counseling Training with April Tuck. Our honeymoon in 2010 was the FSS Two Week Shamanic Healing Intensive with Nan Moss and David Corbin. We continued training with Nan and David, completing the FSS Three Year Program of Advanced Initiations in Shamanism and Shamanic Healing. My working relationships with my compassionate helping spirits and spirit teachers have deepened and enriched so many different aspects of my life. I feel a great deal of gratitude to each of them, as well as to all of my teachers at the Foundation.

My formal training was as a clinical social worker. I received a BA in psychology and a Master of Social Work with Mental Health Specialization from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I worked for many years in the mental health, addictions treatment, healthcare and Hospice field. I began studying alternative medicine in 2002, and have been in private practice since 2003 as a healing facilitator, intuitive consultant, and teacher.

I have a private practice in core shamanic healing and divination, which continues to be an exciting and rewarding part of my life. My husband Jack and I often work together in our shamanic healing practice, where we are honored to be a part of our clients' healing journeys. Our practice includes soul retrieval, extraction healing, power animal retrieval, divination, shamanic counseling, psychopomp work, healing drumming, and more. We also host a monthly shamanic drumming circle in Durham, NC, the Core Shamanic Journey and Drumming Circle of the Triangle.

My husband Jack and I team teach core shamanism for the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. The practice of core shamanism has enriched each of our lives beyond measure, and we are very enthusiastic about sharing these methods with others. It is absolutely beautiful to see our students' enthusiasm and growth as they learn to connect with and build upon their own working relationships with their compassionate helping spirits and spirit teachers.

"When I first came to Marcia, I felt lost, alone, and depressed. Through a series of soul openings and life-changing sessions, I purified much of what was clouding my experience of myself. Every session I felt deeply held, seen, and met by Marcia's loving guidance. My time with Marcia changed the course of my life, and I am forever grateful."
--C.C., Mh.D. - Metaphysical Healer, Boulder, CO--

"My 16-year-old cat had GI problems, had deteriorated, and would withdraw from me. I'd taken him to the vet, and he'd been stabilized somewhat, but he was still not himself. I felt like I needed help with him. My sweet kitty is now doing quite well again, back in my lap a lot - interacting with me again. I am very grateful for the holistic/energy work that Marcia Hebrank did for him. I recommend her highly. She also can do distance healing - with people and with pets. I'm very thankful that Marcia's work brought my cat back into balance again."
--V.M. & kitty, Durham, NC--
