My Story

From the cave to the world.

For years I was a healer working quietly in the shadows, sitting with one soul at a time. The fire I tended there is the fire I now carry to the leaders, icons and visionaries of our time.

The Naming · 2016

The Shaman of La Jolla.

In 2016 I began hosting ceremonies in a La Jolla penthouse overlooking the ocean. Again and again, the people who sat in those circles came to me with the same word. They began calling me the Shaman of La Jolla, and I received the name as an honor and a responsibility.

The Lineage

Taught by the keepers.

Before I was a guide to guides, I was a student, an apprentice and a firekeeper. Six years at the feet of living masters shaped everything I offer.

A Transformation

The geyser.

She had everything money could buy: the yachts, the homes, the planes, every designer bag she ever wanted. She also had visions. Premonitions came to her, and they came true. The people closest to her feared for her mind, and her body had stopped letting her run.

Where others saw confusion, I saw a geyser ready to erupt.

Together we walked through the valley of the shadow of death. On the other side, I witnessed her rise like an angel. Kundalini awakened through her, sacred scripture poured from her lips, and after our first session, she ran again.

Words from the room

“I didn’t believe in God until I started to work with you.”

M., Istanbul
Stepping into group healing cultivated by Shaman Peter is an intense vehicle of transformation for me. It’s not a “was”… because the kind of medicine Peter teaches… it lives on. His medicinal and shamanic lineage shines at a level of expressiveness that surpasses conscious understanding. Spirit flowed with him from word to word, co-creating an energetic red carpet for the exploration and embodiment of the entire container. He masterfully crafts a hyper-reflective and elevating experience: the ability to hold it, vibrate, learn from, transmute and expand with it is handed to you. My soul felt nurtured and nourished through his facilitation of sacred medicine and esoteric wisdom. It’s one thing to say an experience is life changing. It’s another to give account of soul-level alignment and activation. This is the treasure that awaits you in the confluence of your presence alongside Shaman Peter John Swartz II.

I feel like I came to a sanctuary, met a genie who sprayed pixie dust on me and gave me everything I wanted.

My session with Peter was so special and magical. He really has a gift of tuning into what you need in that moment to move forward. Since he has cultivated such a deep love for himself and his psychic & healing shamanic powers are truly activated, he can truly see you in your highest form and helps you quantum leap there with actionable steps. Highly recommend if you’re feeling like you need an extra push in any area of your life!! Thank you so much Peter! Special, magical and empowering.

Thank you! Right around the time when I met you is when I started to heal and begin my self improvement transformation journey. All our work together grounded me, and helped accelerate me a ton. Like throwing gasoline on a fire. It is really profound when I think about how far I’ve come since then. I’m currently at a point that seems similar in a way because so much potential has been opening itself up to me lately and I’m really excited to continue to improve and become the best version of myself possible.

The reminder to be disciplined is something I continuously need to hear so that plus all the health advice is super beneficial! All in all you display your true authenticity and so this is beautiful to see. It’s cool to see someone live a grounded and centered lifestyle as my life can be the opposite sometimes with my job so your content is a reminder to be fully present. For this I thank you greatly.

It’s like having years of therapy in just one session. He says all the right things at all the right moments. There is definitely some divine interventions coming through… and this is coming from an agnostic’s perspective.

My session with Shaman Peter was magical and amazing. He is an extraordinary conduit to all things seen and unseen. His compassion and kindness are apparent from the moment your session starts and continues to the very end.

Shaman Peter is an authentic and gifted spiritual guide for beginners and advanced practitioners. He has the ability to assist those facing challenges and those enjoying great success. The aspect that is most impactful to me in knowing him for many years is his ability to bring together eastern philosophy, western science, and shamanic wisdom. I believe it’s this dynamic approach that allows him to be authentic within himself in order to most powerfully deliver his natural gifts to others.

You are someone who has helped me feel safe enough to be myself, so thank you. It’s something I will always carry with me.

Peter balances lightheartedness with depth, radiating a delightful sense of humor within a sacred container of reverence, grace, and honor. I am deeply grateful for every encounter I’ve had with this man and highly recommend his services to anyone looking for insight, guidance, support, and/or encouragement on their path.

I lost weight. I kicked cravings. I lowered my blood pressure. And, what’s better is I am getting into healthier habits, which is leading to more energy to enjoy my family, loved ones and sharing my arts!!!
