SHAMANIC AWAKENING
Exploring Core Shamanism Through The Shamanic Journey
Saturday, February 21, 10 AM - 6 PM
Sunday, February 22, 10 AM - 5 PM
Awaken Ancient Wisdom. Step Beyond Ordinary Reality.
During this experiential weekend workshop, you will explore foundational shamanism—the universal methods used by shamans across cultures to access “non-ordinary reality” for problem-solving, healing, and insight. We’ll focus on the classic shamanic journey, one of humanity's most remarkable visionary practices - a doorway into hidden universes that have existed since the dawn of consciousness itself.
Throughout the weekend, you will explore sacred realms, connect with power animals, spirit guides, and elemental allies, and learn how to incorporate shamanic techniques into your healing or spiritual practice. Guided by rhythmic drumming inspired by ancient shamans, you'll enter the shamanic state of consciousness, awakening intuitive insight, energetic awareness, and bonds with compassionate allies and nature.
In a small, safe setting of just 8 participants, you'll immerse yourself in experiential practices that foster deep healing, awakening, and connection to the sacred universe within and around you.
Did you know that 99% of your ancestors practiced shamanism?
Follow your soul’s calling. This is not learning, this is remembering.

EXPERIENCE THE SACRED:
SOUND HEALING AT THE KIVA
February 22 at 5 PM
As we close our transformative Shamanic Awakening weekend together, I invite you to join me for something truly special—a journey that will deepen and integrate everything we've explored.
On our final day, we'll venture to The Kiva in Stone Ridge, a sacred ceremonial space designed specifically for healing and spiritual practice. Modeled after the ancient underground chambers used by indigenous peoples for ceremony and communion, The Kiva holds an energy unlike anywhere else—a container purpose-built for transformation.
Here, surrounded by the intentional architecture of this sacred space, we'll experience a Sound Healing session that will wash over you like waves of pure vibration. Imagine lying in stillness as resonant tones from singing bowls, gongs, and other indigenous healing instruments move through your body, releasing what no longer serves you and harmonizing what remains. Sound healing works on a cellular level, allowing the frequencies to recalibrate your nervous system, clear energetic blockages, and create profound states of meditation that the mind alone cannot reach.
This is the perfect completion to our shamanic work together—a chance to integrate your insights, honor your journey, and emerge renewed. The combination of The Kiva's sacred geometry and the healing power of sound creates an experience that many describe as one of the most profound of their lives.
This is your invitation to go deeper. To let the vibrations carry you home to yourself.
FREE FOR WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS BUT OPEN TO ALL
If you are only interested in attending the sound healing and not the workshop, sliding scale registration is $25 - 35.
ABOUT LISA
Having retired early from teaching to pursue my passion for the healing arts, I now serve as a conduit for healing energies, allowing the flow from source or spirit to pass through me. My work is deeply intertwined with my guides and natural elements such as crystals, stones, feathers, essential oils, and the universal life force energy. The unique blend of Shamanic Reiki, sound and nature spirit energy forms the core of my practice. I serve those carrying anxiety, hidden emotional wounds, sleep struggles, and chronic pain, helping them reconnect with their inner healer and the wisdom of nature. My approach is both gentle and profound—a sacred alchemy that allows you to explore and transform wounds without reliving trauma. I bridge the seen and unseen worlds, awakening the natural healing powers that already live within you.
