SHAMANIC EXPERIENCES
The Elders foretold we would undergo significant shifts in consciousness during this transitional time in history.
Their legacy has equipped us with ancient Shamanic Teachings, Sacred Ceremonies and Rites of Passage to support us through these changing times.
Joining us for any of our shamanic experiences removes you from your normal life and immerses you in a world of healing, learning, growing, exploring, celebrating, shifting and changing.
Empowering yourself in this way equips you with the strength to let go of the need to control and instead flow with the changes - which are an uncontrollable part of our reality.
When you can align with change, you align with the world and it's intrinsic nature.
This is how you heal yourself, walk in your beauty and change the world. This is what it means to teach each other here in this Great Lodge of the People, the Ways of this Great Medicine Wheel.
Below, you will find descriptions for some of the retreats, ceremonies, and courses we have developed and facilitated over the years. As with those who came before us, our mandate is to support the needs of the people.
This 13-week ONLINE COURSE offers a magickal container for those who want to train in the art of alchemy.
The Mentorship begins at the end of October and runs through to January.

Following in the time honoured tradition of Shamanic Healing, the tools and techniques we use focus on identifying and addressing the cause of your illness or disease. The conventional approach is to defer to the medical "experts" with a primary focus on treating the symptom and generally excludes the patient from participating in their own healing. Shamanic Healing includes the active commitment and participation of the patient and provides you with an alternative, holistic approach to non-invasive and non-medical health and wellbeing.
The Healing process begins with an initial consultation and a "Healing Intake Form". This becomes the basis by which a specific healing ceremony is prepared for you. Creating the healing ceremony takes between 4 to 7 days to prepare because each healing is as unique as the individual.
A Healing could include a traditional Pipe Ceremony, various doctoring techniques, chakra system restoration and crystal work. These tools clear out imbalances and blocks within your energy body and re-centre your emotional, physical, mental and spiritual aspects. Please note: Our services are not a substitute for consulting with a qualified medical professional.
A Dome Casting creates a protective energy field around your space, property or home, keeping out unwanted energy and creates an environment promoting beauty, blessing and harmony. There are 3 layers to this Doming.
The Bridging Crystal Dome sets the boundary around the perimeter of the property you want to protect. It also links into a network of all like-energy Domes across the world. The House Blessing Dome supports the health, harmony and balance of activities within the space.
The Mesa Altar is the innermost layer which holds an energy matrix for the Dome. This matrix aligns whoever is in the space to step into their higher potential.
A traditional Bonding Ceremony is seen as a union of body, mind and spirit between two people and the Great Spirit. This Bonding Ceremony takes place in nature, under the sacred roof of Father Sky and upon the nurturing body of Mother Earth.
It is witnessed and blessed by the minerals, plants, animals and participants.
As with most weddings, the ceremony has rituals woven through it to strengthen the bond and commitment of the couple. The smudging purifies all those who are present, while the washing of the couple's hands cleanses and releases their past. Invoking Great Spirit in its formlessness, both feminine and masculine existing within all things throughout the universe brings the blessings of mutual respect and sacred communion of the two individuals.
The ceremony is performed within the Sacred Medicine Circle which holds a protective and supportive space for the union of these lovers.
At the completion of the ceremony, the couple are wrapped in a bonding blanket to symbolize two bodies living as one under the blessing and guidance of the Great Spirit.
