Listen to The Shaman Chef. Planting Seeds for a New Creation, a public talk for Inner Faith Ministries on Wednesday Night Live.
Renee Baribeau tells how she overcame emotional neglect, abuse, addiction, and chronic depression by creating life-sustaining rituals based on her own intuition and teachings from various spiritual traditions. As the child of a violently angry alchoholic father from a poverty-stricken background, Renee had to find her way in the world with little wisdom or guidance from her elders.
Even though she earned a college scholarship, graduated with honors, became a property owner at the age of twenty-two and a business owner the following year, those successes were never enough to counteract the crippling depression that dogged her steps from a young age. It was only the discovery of her natural gift and affinity for cooking that saved her from an early death with drugs and alcohol. When that skill deserted her she had to find a new menu for survival and she was successful in that search. Today, Rene is free from the constraints of her lifelong mood disorders. She enjoys being awake and fully present in the Now moment of her life and is devoted to encouraging others to find their own rituals for healing and recipes for living. This memoir, a bountiful mélange of memories sandwiched between mouthwatering recipes and uplifting rituals offers a look at how you can play a significant role in bringing about your own emotional well-being.

I happened to meet Renee Baribeau at a very difficult time in my life. I was attending WE CARE to get healthy and to quit smoking cigarettes. Upon arrival, I was side swiped by one of the most intense nicotine detoxes the center had ever seen. After several hours of being guided and helped by many therapists, Renee came to my rescue and nursed me back to health. She has seen me at my most vulnerable point in life that some would call "a re-birth". After our first encounter, I knew that I had to continue working with Renee. In a matter of moments, she had it all figured out.
Two years of therapy and a spiritual awakening are equivalent to one session with Renee. She is a straight shooter, a quick healer and won't accept any sort of nonsense. My energy field is brighter, lighter and happier than it's ever been today! I'm forever grateful for her guidance and her ability to uplift my soul! - Anonymous

" I'm back in New York and so far I still feel the positive effects of our session together. Right after the session you said that I even appeared lighter. Since seeing you people have literally commented on how I have my bounce back in my step, how light I appear, "have you lost weight?", etc. but I really feel that my lightened spirit is the cause of the physical transformation that people are commenting on. I just wanted to thank you, thank you, thank you! " Danyala
