Discover 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 a shamanic experience at Sacred Journeys 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.

You will find descriptions below for some of the retreats, ceremonies and courses we have been asked to develop and facilitate over the years. As with those who came before us, it is our mandate to support the needs of the people. If you do not find what you're looking for here, you'd like to discover more, have some questions or want to make a personal connection, then schedule a free 20-minute video-call.

COMMUNITY GATHERINGS

The environmental, socio-economic and climatic changes that we are currently experiencing are sure to continue on in the years to come, into what many refer to as the “fifth world”.

One of the major lessons we must learn through these intense changes, is to find greater levels of open heartedness and acceptance, not only in our relationships with others but especially in our relationship with ourselves.

As a community, we gather in these circles to explore the Sacred Medicine Wheel Teachings, to gain other perspectives, of ourselves, one another and our world as we understand it.

We sit with the Sacred Medicine Pipe, we enter the Sacred Sweat Lodge so we may align to the changes we face, and expand into a state of open hearted acceptance of ourselves, the world and other humans. 

When we sit in Sacred Circle and speak from the heart, shift happens.
When we sit in a Sacred Sweat Lodge, we let go of our everyday stress and
crisis.
When we sit in the Great Lodge, we learn from each other and from the Ways of this Great Medicine Wheel, our Earth

DRUM BIRTHING

The drum is the oldest and most sacred of all musical instruments to be used by humans.
Rhythm, sound and vibration take us back to our origins, aligning us with Grandmother Earth’s frequency. Such an alignment restores our health, wellbeing and our connection to the world around us. 
The circular nature of the shamanic hand drum unites us with the Medicine Wheel and teaches us of the cycle of life, death and rebirth. It is through the drum that we can re-establish our connection to spirit, ourselves and the circle of life. It is what contributes to the manifestation of everything.
A Drum Birthing awakens you to your own heartbeat. As your hands fashion and create your own drum, you come into divine communion with all five elements, the minerals, plants and animals. As you and the drum tune in to one another, you birth your own unique beat, note, rhythm and sound that vibrates out into the fabric of the universe. 
The time is now for you to become a powerful instrument of change.

PERSONAL SHAMANIC RETREATS

As you accumulate life experiences, the ones with a negative impact cause imbalances and weigh you down with unexpressed emotions. This results in sickness, illness, looking for ways to cope, forming unwanted habits, making unhealthy lifestyle choices, becoming withdrawn, anxious or depressed, experiencing a lack of confidence, feelings of worthlessness and losing your purpose in life.

A Personal Shamanic Retreat is tailor-made for you. We look at the WHOLE you - your emotional fluidity, physical health, mental clarity, spiritual determination and your harmonious connection.

LIVING CLEAN PROGRAM

This is an intensive 10-day experiential Shamanic Program designed to deal with dysfunctional patterns and behaviours within the human psyche. If not dealt with, these behaviours create neural pathways or memory programs in the brain resulting in addictions.

We guide you through a step by step process, where we help you to identify and take the steps to overcome the source of what created the misalignment in the first place.

Are you ready to clean up your past & stand in your own authority?

SHAMANIC HEALING

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.

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.

SHAMANIC BONDINGS

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.
