New Sliding Scale for Intro to Shamanism


Y’all. AI has been on my mind lately. And I'm pretty concerned about the rapid changes within our online spaces...and how these changes are going to impact our very real lives.

I’ve been watching the progression of AI on culture and consciousness for a while. There’s a lot of speculation in this area already, and I don’t want to add to the noise. But what I do know, and what I do want to say is:

Our skills in navigating reality and truth need to be refined.

Like, ASAP.

We need to make a habit of touching in with what’s real — real in our lives, our communities, and our spiritual connections.

This is how we tend our souls in chaotic times.

As I’ve been sitting in thought, reflecting on how I can be of most service, something clicked for me.

I need to make basic spirit skills more accessible.

Y’all are busy. A lot of folks are stretched financially. And everyone needs to be able to tune into their own spiritual guidance right now.

So, I’m making a few little lovely changes to my upcoming Introduction to Shamanism Course — changes that hopefully will help you!

First, I’ve decided to record this course and make the recording available to anyone who purchases a spot, even if you can’t come live.

In order to create a safe container for participants and allow those who can come live to go deeper, I’ll be editing out many shares and partner work. But you will get the core concepts and skills, and I may even add a bonus Live Q&A with me on for everyone on another date 🙂

Second, for this course only, I am offering a generous sliding scale! I am trusting Great Spirit to provide for my needs so I can be generous here — because everyone needs these skills, regardless of income. Learn more here.

(plus you can still grab early bird rates on top of this scale...enjoy!)

It is my heartfelt hope that these changes make this wisdom more accessible to more people. Please join us, spread the word, and reach out with any questions.

P.S. This workshop is a prerequisite for my upcoming Soul Retrieval training, which is the most powerful, in-depth, and massively healing workshop I’ll be teaching this year. Soul Retrieval will be my only remaining in-person workshop this year (in Sisters, Oregon), so now is time to start planning your travels ;)

P.P.S. This is an introduction course…but experienced practitioners are more than welcome! In my last intro course 90% of participants were actually very experienced. So why did they come? For the community. The personal mentorship and guidance. To have their questions answered by someone who’s been on the path for decades. If this is you, know that you are welcome, too!

About a year ago, I prayed for guidance on what to do with my life. Just a small ask ;) Then I opened myself to guidance. And it came. Spirit told me that it was time to offer a practitioner training in shamanism and spiritual rewilding. The most beautiful 3-year program — my dream program if I were a student again — flowed through my fingers and onto my computer screen. Year one was going to be an apprenticeship with the spirits, open to all. Then, year two would bring in more client skills...

Children are both amazingly resilient yet very sensitive in ways most adults have lost touch with. Have you experienced any of the following? Maybe a kid at school said one random, mean comment and you still get a gunky, shivery, shameful feeling whenever you think about it — even though on the surface, it was a tiny moment and not even intentionally hurtful on their part. Maybe an authority figure told you something about yourself that your soul knew wasn’t true. Then, because of the weight...

These words. There are a few important deadlines coming up, so I wanted to share a few words from my students, whom I am soooo grateful for. But first, two time-sensitive updates: Last weekend's Introduction to Shamanism class was such an amazing experience. The replay is available, which serves as a prerequisite for upcoming advanced classes (Soul Retrieval, Psychopomp, Extraction & Clearing). The sliding scale available until the end of the month; then just the good ol' regular price will...
