“The abandonment that colonization forces upon us must be reversed by learning to be with what psychology calls the inner child, which I understand as the soul — the very one we so often abandon.” — Rakel Sanímuinaq

Biography
Rakel Sanimuinaq was born and raised in Itto-qqortoor-miit, in northeastern Greenland. When she was only four years old, she told her mother that she would become a shaman. Growing up, she often heard stories about her family’s shamanic lineage and was deeply curious about what this heritage meant for their descendants. In 2012, she began her journey to truly understand how her ancestors lived and perceived the universe as an interconnected whole. She left modern society to immerse herself in nature and to learn directly from it — from Silap aappaa, “the other worlds,” and the teachings they hold. In 2019, she received her healer name, Rakel, and was initiated into the ancient lineage as an Anga-koq (shaman). Since then, she has dedicated herself to bridging the spirit world with the modern human experience — finding ways to apply ancient wisdom in today’s world. Through these profound and timeless methods of healing, Rakel helps people reconnect with their souls, something that has long been hidden or forbidden in many ways. As she teaches, “A soul that is whole is in balance with the world and in balance with itself.” Rakel is featured in the beautiful, multiple-award-winning documentary film The Eternal Song by filmmakers Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo of Science and Nonduality, and an honored ambassador here at Shamans Directory.
