We are privileged to be carriers of ancient Twisted Hairs Shamanic Teachings, Ceremonies and Rites of Passage.
You are welcome here, come and journey with us in the sacred circle of life.
Such a sacred journey expands our minds beyond our singular perspective.
The student opens the door while the teacher takes knowledge and wisdom into unexplored areas.
Without one another, neither student nor teacher can grow.
As keepers of these ancient teachings, we remain committed to learning, healing and growing. It’s why we do what we do!
For many people, the reality they are experiencing is dissatisfying and dissonant from the life they desire to be living.
To come into resonance, change has to happen.
Our mission is to provide shamanic knowledge, teachings and sacred ceremonies to help you negotiate change effectively and efficiently.
When we feel acknowledged for who we are, we can relax and reveal our natural essence, wholeness and potential, our “medicine”.
Our vision is to inspire the awakening of your medicine, so you can touch yourself, the planet and others with your unique beauty.
By healing ourselves, we walk in our beauty, and we change the world.
After almost 2 decades of teaching, guiding ceremonies, and holding spaces of profound transformation, healing and growth, we have chosen to step into a season of sabbatical and renewal.
For the foreseeable future, Sacred Journeys will not be offering its full calendar of programs and retreats.
Like the cycles of nature that inspire our work, there are times to create, times to serve, and times to go inward and quietly listen.
This is one of those times for us.
We are stepping back from our regular offerings and will only host a small number of sacred gatherings through 2026.
We thank all our students, seekers, and friends who have walked alongside us over the years.
We look forward to seeing where the path leads us next.

Many of the struggles we experience in life are rooted in the beliefs we hold about ourselves, others, and the world around us. Often formed in childhood or through difficult life experiences, these beliefs can become invisible forces that shape our choices, relationships, limitations, and sense of self-worth.
Over this 2-night Medicine Wheel journey, you will explore the hidden architecture of your core beliefs and discover how they influence the way you think, feel, and respond to life. You will carry the weight of them until you are ready to put them down and reformulate them into beauty.

10-day In-Residence Addiction Rehabilitation Program
This is an intensive 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.
This Program is not easy, it will challenge you to face your core issues.
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?

Hi Lou and Laurel! I have now had three consecutive PSA serum levels done at three month intervals, all at barely detectable levels and no sign of an upward drift. The spiritual healing, I accomplished with your guidance is holding true and I am much better able to relate successfully to the challenges that invariably come my way. I appreciate deeply what I came to SEE through your help. My view of the world and life are so different than before we met that at first it threw me off a bit but now I am seeing more clearly that some of my past views were not concordant with the changes I had made. Again, THANK YOU!
The Living Clean Program has been a bumpy ride… At times I felt annoyed & frustrated, a little caterpillar squirming his way up from a mountain of shit & at other times I felt like a burning phoenix, soaring above it. At the end, what I have really taken from my 10-day experience at Sacred Journeys is that just as I have the power to create dysfunction in my life, I am the only one capable of eradicating it. Thank you for showing me what I was no longer capable of seeing for myself
Shares this after a Personal Awareness Retreat, ‘I have come to understand that the greatest moments in our lives that give us our true power back, are in fact the most simple – effortless. All we are required to do is to stand in front of ourselves with neutrality. When I can allow myself the opportunity to be neutral, I can find love for myself. I look back and deeply thank myself for the experience I had at Sacred Journeys. I can deeply thank you, Lou & Laurel for holding a space where I can search for my authentically powerful self. I thank you for your unconditional love and for breathing life into the Circle of the Medicine Wheel and the world.’
What on earth is a sweat lodge? Well, this experience has created a divine shift in me. Laurel talked us through the entire cleansing process and guided us to allow a beautiful space of release and openness to the Divine. What an experience! The sense of peace is amazing and indeed an experience for all! Every single person had let something go and every single person had evolved into a deeper level of themselves! I had never seen such transformation before. For me, this is now a monthly appointment in my diary! Thank you Laurel Weaving Willow!
