“Wowwww…what can I say the first time I met Richard Down he literally sang me back to life…I was so lost, disempowered and disconnected from my true self. I’d stepped onto the medicine path shortly before meeting Richard, it saved my life, and yet I knew that I needed to work closely with him from the moment we connected. Our first meeting was mind blowing and life affirming
to meet with the medicine through Icaro and to receive attunement was way beyond what I could have imagined…what a day, out in nature and finally finding my voice…which had been suppressed all my life, in my maternal lineage and in my ancestors!!
The following journey over the last couple of years has seen me step into my power, to become soverign, to hold space for others, to work with incredible medicines and for the first time in my life…to sing, write songs, perform in sacred spaces…to starting to hold my own singing circles and creating therapeutic sound journeys now…I am on the most incredible journey with Richard in apprenticeship as I study Icaro with him in depth on his most amazing course…deepening my journey and connection with this medicine…I feel so honoured and in gratitude to this gift. After the first module I already see great things happening within and without and am so blessed and excited to take this out into the world…to share my voice, my gifts in service to humanity…to be a light in the darkness and to help guide others to find their own innate gifts to bring to the world.
Richard…thank you for this gift…you give so much hope and inspiration to me and so many. You will never know how much what you have done has meant to me…you helped me find myself, my power and my medicine
Sending you so much love…I am so excited for this journey and the weaving of these incredible incantations…my witches soul sings xxx” Em Lou Mac November 2021

“I’ve been working with Richard Down for over a year now, going deeper and deeper into the world of Incantation Shamanism.
It has been an incredible journey! Our time together 1-1 is fascinating, I love Richards’s way of teaching, he brings so much wisdom, knowledge and beautiful heartfelt stories that really bring the sessions and teachings to life, he is pure joy to work with. The icaros he has attuned me to are working within me in ways I did not expect, I feel so much has shifted and aligned since starting work with them. I am loving using them within my healing practice and I have also used several in ceremony and their power and effect has just blown my mind!! I highly recommend Richard to anyone who wants to deepen their own self healing and growth but also for those who want to take their healing and shamanic practice to the next level!!
So much gratitude and love ” Shaman healer, Theresa Field 2021

I am very grateful to Richard Down for his genuine shamanic skill in the healing I have experienced in this past 3 weeks since the two hour power session I had with him.
I was really stuck in a dark place and knew that I needed real help to guide me back to health and my self . I was unraveling, so lost and very vulnerable and I felt that I could trust Richard. I was right in this, as he could see very clearly what I could not, and he did save my life. It is the support and guidance which means so much to me – to be able to share deeply enough to facilitate working together in a profound way: I have never felt so safely held and loved in the connection that we kept in these last few weeks. This is the Shamanic way of healing I feel, impeccable and selfless. Richard was honest with me throughout and offered gentle reflection so that I was empowered to find my truth… it is this mentoring that is putting me back together and makes the real difference on the path to wholeness. If you are reading this, then you are looking for help… I can assure you , in Richard you will receive a deeply healing experience like no other available in south west England.
