Soul Retrieval
Begin Your Journey Back to Wholenss
Call Yourself Home
Your Life is Waiting for You
Imagine waking up with a deeper sense of belonging in your own life.
Feeling the spark of inspiration return. Finding yourself laughing more freely, loving more openly, speaking your truth, and following the quiet wisdom of your heart.
Imagine no longer having to work so hard to be who you think you should be, because you're becoming more comfortable simply being who you are.
Soul retrieval is an invitation to this kind of homecoming.
As you welcome these parts of yourself back, you may discover qualities you thought you'd lost: courage, innocence, creativity, confidence, tenderness, passion, or a deep capacity for joy.
Life may begin to feel richer, more colorful, and more meaningful. Choices that once seemed confusing may become clearer. You may find yourself drawn toward relationships, experiences, and ways of living that feel more deeply aligned with your true nature.
Not because you've become someone new, but because you're remembering more of who you've always been.
What is a Soul Retrieval?
Reclaim Your Wholeness, Vitality, and Authentic Self
Have you ever felt that something essential is missing from your life? Perhaps you're moving through the motions, doing all the things you're supposed to do, yet something inside feels distant, quiet, or asleep.
Maybe you remember a time when you felt more alive. When joy came naturally, your intuition was strong, and you felt deeply connected to yourself and the world around you.
Somewhere along the way, that connection may have faded.
In shamanic traditions, it is believed that when we experience trauma, loss, heartbreak, or overwhelming life events, parts of our soul may withdraw as a way of protecting us. This is sometimes called soul loss.
Soul retrieval is a sacred practice of inviting these lost or hidden parts of ourselves to return.
Spirit is Ready to Assist
Crystal Sidelinger is trained in Peruvian Shamanism but also draws on her unbroken Celtic ancestors, plant spirit medicine and energy weaving to facilitate a clear connection with spirit to assist in Soul Retrievals.
Soul loss doesn't always follow a dramatic event. Sometimes it happens gradually, through years of putting others first, suppressing our true feelings, or living a life that doesn't fully reflect who we are.
You may feel it as:
A sense of emptiness or disconnection, even when life looks good on the outside.
A longing for something you can't quite name.
Feeling stuck in old patterns or repeating the same struggles.
A loss of creativity, passion, playfulness, or joy.
Difficulty knowing what you truly want or trusting your inner voice.
A feeling that you're living only a small part of the life you came here to live.
These experiences can have many causes, but within the spiritual framework of soul retrieval, they may be invitations to reconnect with parts of yourself that have been forgotten, hidden, or left behind.
Services
Personal Soul Retrieval
Reclaim the lost pieces of yourself and awaken to a more vibrant, authentic life.
If we aren’t embodying our true selves are we ever actually living?
Throughout our lives, experiences of loss, trauma, heartbreak, and change can leave us feeling disconnected from our true essence. In shamanic traditions, this is understood as soul loss—the separation of precious parts of ourselves that carry our vitality, joy, creativity, and personal power.
A personal soul retrieval is a sacred invitation to welcome these parts home.
While you sleep, I journey remotely on your behalf, seeking the soul pieces that are ready to return and exploring the soul contracts that may be influencing your life. These contracts can represent old vows, beliefs, or energetic agreements that no longer serve your highest good.
The following day, we meet in a private video session, where I share the discoveries from your retrieval. Together, we explore the soul pieces encountered, the contracts revealed, and the spiritual allies who have come forward to support your healing—including a spirit animal, a plant spirit, and a sacred tool.
You will receive guidance for ceremonially releasing harmful contracts through a burning ritual and consciously writing new agreements that reflect the life you wish to create.
Our conversation also offers compassionate, personalized counsel for welcoming your returning soul pieces and integrating their gifts into everyday life.
This is more than a ceremony. It is an opportunity to remember who you are, reclaim your inner gifts, and begin living with greater freedom, wholeness, and authenticity.
Relationship Soul Retrieval
Bring awareness, healing, and new possibility to the sacred bonds that shape your life.
Our relationships can be some of our greatest teachers. Through love, conflict, loss, and deep connection, we may develop patterns and unconscious agreements that influence how we give and receive love, express our needs, and relate to one another.
Sometimes these patterns feel older or deeper than the circumstances we can see.
A relationship soul retrieval is a sacred journey into the spiritual landscape of a meaningful connection. While you sleep, I journey remotely to explore soul pieces, contracts, and energetic patterns that may be connected to the relationship and ready for healing or transformation.
During our follow-up video session, I share what was revealed, including the soul contracts encountered and the spirit animal, plant spirit, and sacred tool that have come forward to support your integration.
You will receive guidance for releasing outdated or harmful contracts through ceremony and creating new agreements rooted in love, truth, healthy boundaries, and mutual respect.
Together, we explore how to welcome the retrieved soul pieces and bring greater consciousness to the way you participate in the relationship.
Whether you are seeking deeper connection, freedom from repeating patterns, or peace with a relationship that has changed, this work invites you to move forward with clarity, compassion, and genuine love.
Organization or Work Place Soul Retrieval
Reconnect with the original spirit, purpose, and creative life of your organization.
Just as individuals and relationships can experience disconnection, organizations can lose touch with the inspiration and vision that first brought them into being.
Over time, conflict, difficult transitions, leadership changes, and the pressures of everyday operations may leave a business or organization feeling stagnant, fragmented, or disconnected from its deeper purpose.
An organizational soul retrieval is a sacred exploration of the spiritual identity and energetic patterns of a business, workplace, or collective endeavor.
While you sleep, I journey remotely on behalf of your organization, seeking insight into the soul pieces, spiritual contracts, and patterns that may be ready for renewal.
In our private follow-up video session, I share what emerged during the journey, including the spirit animal, plant spirit, and sacred tool that have come forward as allies in the integration process.
You will receive ceremonial instructions for releasing harmful or outdated contracts and creating new agreements that honor the organization's values, relationships, and evolving vision.
We will also explore practical ways to bring these spiritual insights into your leadership, decision-making, and organizational culture.
This work offers an opportunity to reconnect with the living spirit of your organization, renew your sense of purpose, and move forward with greater intention, creativity, and alignment.
A Soul Retrieval Journey with Crystal Sidelinger
Throughout my childhood and early adult life, I experienced many traumatic events beyond my control. Survival and coping mechanisms took hold as I struggled to function and maintain my course. Over the years, without realizing it, I had isolated and lost parts of myself—parts of my soul—as I navigated everyday life. But as I grew older, the strategies that had once protected me no longer served me, and my body began to manifest the pain of embodied trauma. Unprocessed trauma is a heat-seeking missile that tracked my ass down in spite of my best intentions.
My body, the vessel I had relied upon to carry me through life, was failing. My soul, compromised by years of trauma and survival, needed healing so that my body could begin to heal as well. Aware, yet lost in a sea of hurt, I spent seven years navigating the abysmal. Crystal Sidelinger helped guide me through this journey. It was not a journey I could go around. I had to go through it.
Navigating trauma, uncertainty, and the unknown is something humans are uniquely equipped to do. We are extraordinarily adaptable creatures. We may not fly or breathe underwater, but we have learned to survive in nearly every extreme climate and geography on Earth. Yet we do not accomplish this alone.
Only together do we do hard things.
As social creatures, we need guides—people who help us find our way when the path becomes obscured. The abysmal is a dark place, traversed best by feel. Journeying through the strange landscapes of our internal and external worlds requires trust, intuition, and careful navigation.
Crystal Sidelinger possesses these gifts in abundance. Working with intuition, inspiration, and deep sensitivity, she is a highly skilled Soul Retrieval Guide. A diviner of the unconscious realm, she gently and effortlessly guided me into trance. Together, we wound our way deep into the caverns of the soul, retrieving images, symbols, and feelings that illuminated lost and forgotten parts of myself and my ancestral past.
The rituals, insights, and spirit guides we encountered became essential tools in my healing arsenal. Over the years, as I navigated seventeen surgeries and the profound physical healing they demanded, these practices helped sustain me. Crystal helped reconnect me with Spirit and Source, allowing me to feel loved, held, and guided through a time of immense transformation.
Through her guidance, I began to reclaim the parts of myself that survival had scattered. What had once been lost in darkness could finally be seen as whole.
