SHAMANIC EXPERIENCES
The Elders foretold that we would undergo significant shifts in consciousness during this transitional time in history.
Their legacy has gifted us ancient Shamanic Teachings, Sacred Ceremonies and Rites of Passage to support us through these changing times.
Joining us for a shamanic experience takes you out of your everyday world and into a space of healing, learning, growing, exploring, celebrating, shifting and transformation.
Through these experiences, we are empowered to release the need to control and instead learn to flow with change—an uncontrollable and intrinsic part of life.
When we align with change, we align with the world and its natural rhythm.
This is how we heal ourselves, walk in our beauty, and contribute to changing the world.
This is what it means to teach one another, here in this Great Lodge of the People, the Ways of this Great Medicine Wheel.
Below you will find 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. Whatever you are looking for, you may find it here.
And if you don't see what you need, connect with us. Together, we can create a solo Shamanic Journey designed specifically for you.
Lou “Worldweaver” offers clarity, perspective, and direction through symbolic and archetypal mapping.
A session with me is a warm, inviting experience. We sit together and look at your life through the lens of the Medicine Wheels. We take a direct and clear approach to bypass the stories of confusion, doubt and suffering. It’s not about fixing what’s wrong with you — it’s a reclamation of your truth by remembering and celebrating who you are — your masterpiece.
In our session, we’ll identify the patterns that are holding you back and explore the most impactful path to move forward. Most people leave a session feeling a profound sense of relief, claiming they finally have the instructions for the life they’ve been trying to lead.
Laurel “Weaving Willow” brings the work into the body through somatic, womb-centred, and nervous-system-aware healing.
The journey of healing and remembrance begins with a single step.
My work is anchored in embodiment — through somatic, womb-centred, and nervous-system-aware practices.
I hold a safe, compassionate space, supporting you to release unproductive patterns, trauma, and energy that no longer serve you.
This is not about fixing or pathologizing you — it’s about focusing on what matters — balance, empowerment, and reconnection with your innate wisdom.

ANNUAL 10-DAY MEDICINE JOURNEY IN OCTOBER
Do you feel a deep yearning to shed layers that no longer serve you?

Perhaps you've felt disconnected from your body, struggled with intimacy, or yearned to unleash a vibrant, authentic expression of your feminine self.
You are not alone. This is a potent moment in time for women to awaken, to heal, and to rise into their true divinity.
You will never be the same after these 10 days, so let's be real...
This journey of healing and awakening your pleasure isn't a walk in the park – it's a vibrant, transformative adventure for the brave and the bold!
Only 4 women will take this journey with me...
IN RESIDENCE RELATIONSHIP REBOOT
A relationship is one of the most rewarding — and challenging — journeys two people will ever share.
Our Private Couple’s Retreat offers the time, space and gentle guidance to reconnect, communicate openly and strengthen the foundation of your relationship. Stepping away from the pressures of daily life allows you and your partner to enter a supportive, intentional environment where your relationship can pause, reset and realign.
The length of the retreat is flexible and can be tailored to your needs. We recommend 3–5 days to allow enough time for deeper insight, meaningful conversation and lasting integration.
2-DAY SHAMANIC JOURNEY
The circular nature of the shamanic hand drum unites us with the medicine wheel & teaches us of the cycle of life, death & rebirth.
It is through the drum that we can re-establish our connection to spirit, ourselves and the circle of life.
By making your own drum, you come into divine communion with all five elements & the minerals, plants & animals. They are what contribute to the manifestation of everything.
A Drum Birthing Ceremony awakens the drum to it's unique voice & song. It affords the creator the chance to pay respect to our great mother & accept the death-life experience of re-birthing ourselves into a new life. In this way we celebrate, that from nothing, everything was birthed, and from everything, we return to the nothing.
I DRUM THEREFORE I AM
The drum is a sacred instrument, we all have one beating inside of us.
When we sit in union with the drum, we connect to our own rhythm & vibration.
We feel our return to the unconditional nurturing of the great mother.
We align to the universal beat of the heart centre.
We surrender ourselves to the beauty of all that is, all that was, & all that ever shall be.
5-DAY IN RESIDENCE WELLNESS RESET
Are you seeking an alternative approach to address a health issue, illness or dis-ease?
Heart of Healing is a transformational, inward-focused process for your healing journey.
This 5-day immersion is designed to shift the core energetic patterns that create imbalance, ill health, and dis-ease in the body, mind and soul.
Through ancient shamanic practices, ceremony, and deep inner work, you’ll be guided to reconnect with the heart’s intelligence,
where true healing begins.
Only four participants ensures a deeply held and transformative experience.
10-DAY IN RESIDENCE ADDICTION REHABILITATION
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?
CLEARING & PROTECTING SACRED SPACES
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.
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 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.
