Dina Butler, Otter Dance Practitioner

Being an empathic, intuitive, only child raised on a small farm in upstate New York provided much time and opportunity to indulge in the delight, exploration and connection to that which is termed “Nature”, both within and without. It is upon this foundation of awe, respect and the openness of her 5 year old self that she now builds her adult learning and experiences. At the age of 30, her childhood love and connection with animals blossomed when Dina was inspired to attend Gaston College and earned a degree in Veterinary Medical Technology. During her 15+ year career as a Veterinary Technician, including serving in upper management, Dina discovered a powerful desire/ability to provide more than medical support to hospitalized pets and to serve clients in a deeper way. The desire to balance the immediacy/harshness of emergency medicine with the softness of intuitive healing led her to attain the training to become a Reiki Practitioner which she used at the clinic, Hospice and continues to use often in her medicine work.
In 2015, Dina traveled to answered the “call” of Mama Africa and her life was illuminated and blessed in such a way that it reverberates through every aspect of her life including her medicine work and Rastafari tradition. The discovery of the inextinguishable light of Creation in the worst of circumstances, her desire to live, love and do healing work in Community and to live a life of inclusion and harmony with the most humble of us was birthed by living it at Botshabelo Orphanage and School. The medicine of dancing the Fire Dance in South Africa created a powerful connection to Creation, Ancestors and healing that Dina accesses as an Earth Spirit Medicine Practitioner and Ceremonialist. Her education and medicine work calls upon the Old Ways– the traditions and wisdom of many indigenous practices brought forward into this time and place for the purpose of healing. Her passions are working to create and support Community, guiding and teaching Young People (The PathFinders), the Divine Feminine/Masculine and learning indigenous traditions and wisdoms to discover similarities while delighting in the spice of the differences. She most often works with plant medicine (Tulsi and Cacao), Earth Spirits, shamanic/intuitive guidance, medicine wheel, and Reiki.

Sarah Hemphill, Otter Dance Practitioner

Kristin Kimbrell Isenhour, Otter Dance Practitioner
Kristin graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a baccalaureate degree in Radiologic Science. She worked as a radiologic technologist for several years before becoming an MRI technologist in 1998.. Over the years, Kristin witnessed patients in pain without always having a definitive diagnosis. Once she became ill in 2008, she realized that physical symptoms cannot always be explained by a medical diagnosis. Kristin was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, and for five years she sought help from Western medicine, with no result. In 2012, she took a Reiki class and found a way to heal her illness through finding balance in her Emotional body. She discovered there was more to health and healing than just the physical body. Through taking Shamanic classes with Robbie Warren, Otter Woman Standing, she discovered that her mental body, emotional body and spiritual body joined together with her physical to make a complete Energetic field. Through this journey, she discovered how the “Energetic Flow” directly affected her health.
Kristin is certified in several alternative therapies such as Reiki, Medical Reiki™, yoga, EMYoga®, Akashic Record Reading, crystal healing therapy and Shamanic ceremonies. It is her hope to share with others what she has learned on her journey in finding “healing.” Kristin believes the following statement: “A Healer is not someone that you go to for healing. A Healer is someone that triggers within you, your own ability to heal yourself.” As an Energy Activator, she would like to provide alternative therapies that may provide “healing” for you.
Kristin is in love with Mother Earth’s natural jewels known to us as crystals and gemstones. During her shamanic training with Otter Dance, she was given the Earth Medicine name of “Crystal Star Woman”. Each crystal or stone carries a vibration that can be used to help balance a person’s Energetic field. She uses Energetic therapies and other Shamanic tools to find balance and harmony in your Energetic field by using crystals in body layouts and grids.
Sharon Kerr, Otter Dance Practitioner

Sharon’s compassionate, empathetic and loving nature is fueled by a very genuine desire to be of service. She was given the spirit name Raven Song in the Earth Medicine Tradition.
Raised in a small village in upstate NY, she immersed herself in the woodlands that surrounded her. She loved to spend time with animals and wildlife; communing with nature was very natural to her. Sharon’s childhood was richly blessed with opportunities to talk to and help injured animals, playing with plants, stones and water, and talking with Spirit.
After high school, Sharon joined the US Navy and requested to be stationed in Iceland. This proved to be a stroke of destiny, for as soon as she arrived she realized Iceland was the home of her heart, the place where she needed to be.
After the military she returned to the land of her birth; however it wasn’t long before she moved back to Iceland where she got married, raised her family, finished her BSc and MBA whilst working fulltime as a Quality and Safety Manager for an airline.
Sharon’s drive to succeed and desire to serve resulted in an increasing array of responsibilities, many of these related to the welfare of the people in the company and the environment. She felt she couldn’t say no, so she pushed, persevered, and accomplished every task until Spirit intervened.
Her “breakthrough” brought her a great blessing: it returned her to the pathway of her childhood– the path she walks today. Sharon’s Medicine path is the culmination of her genuine caring nature and love for people, and her love and respect for animals and the natural environment. These are the focal points of her Medicine, which she uses to help, balance, and heal.
Sharon walks her Medicine path her own way, seeking truth and clarity for herself and helping others be their best. Working with others she brings Earth Healing, participates in Fire Dances, both as a dancer and crew, and is very aware that now is the time for her message to be realized “be the Beacon”.
She is an excellent mentor and amusing to sit with in circle.
She is here serving and saying “yes” for you.
Raven Runyan, Otter Dance Practitioner

Raven holds that spirituality is not religion, but instead is about how we relate to the world around us. It is a way of asking and answering deep questions like “How do we find our place? Our peace? Our mission?” She believes that that is a crucial part of finding out why we are here and where we are going.
Raven offers readings in Tarot, Oracle cards, and traditional bone/crystal casting to help her clients get clarity and guidance on their paths.
Raven’s study of Shamanism has led her to a deeper understanding of how our energy is interconnected with everything around us, and that we received guidance from our animal totems, spirit guides and ancestors. In this path, Raven has learned to work with personal energy in a new way, to help her clients remove unhealthy cords, complete ancestor clearing ceremonies, remove attachments and negative constructs and Soul Retrieval. Raven works to help her clients connect with their spirit guardians so that they too can join in and be part of the client’s inner growth!
“I have helped many find their own path into the divine. I have used my gifts of empathy and mediumship to guide those that are truly interested in discovering their own best selves. As a Third Degree High Priestess, Spiritual Herbalist and ordained minister, I can help you find the unique path that will connect you with your higher and best self!” — Lady Raven

Her truth is that with more love & awareness we have the ability to meet fear, comparison, jealousy, feeling of lack, hatred and violence in a more peaceful way.
