Oct. 28 - Nov. 1
or just
October 30 - November 1
To “retreat” in Shamanism is to give yourself the opportunity to become fully immersed in growing your relationship with Great Spirit in order to Replenish, Renew and Remember just how strong of a connection you have with the Divine Nature of the Universe.
The Shaman sees all things
as a communication with
Great Spirit.
Time before Retreat begins!

PHYSICAL DISTANCING and other rules will apply. Please see below!
Now, more than ever we need our moments together with each other and Nature. The world has turned upside down. Anger, confusion and sadness has tried to ruled our life to the point where we are not sure what to do or where to go.
There is a timeless wisdom to nature,
as the Shamans of another era taught us.
Society has moved from the caves and the mud huts and now Shamanism has opened a new door to help Awaken those who choose to truly be a “vibration” for the Higher Good. The world needs more Shamans. More people dedicated to deepening their experience with Great Spirit, nature and themselves.
THERE WILL BE A WHOLE NEW
SHAMAN PROGRAM THIS YEAR!
The new program is still being revised and will include some of the favorites from the
past years with hands on experiences, lecture and Shamanic Journey.

(* is for Wednesday - Sunday retreat only)
This is a non-drug retreat and is based solely on your Direct connection between yourself and Source with no other filters to get in the way of the authentic experience. What you take home is the person you always knew was inside of yourself. An intuitive, compassionate person with integrity and a desire to be a greater expression of love that will help heal the world.
Come and be replenished in Nature and deepen your connection to Source. Hear the wind and let Nature guide you into the Inner Spring of your soul. Feel the drumbeat. Let the Gong take you on a Journey you’ve only heard about. Let yourself dive deep into the essence of who you are and why you are here.
Within the silence of meditation
you will experience the deep tranquility
you know is real and healing for
Body, Mind and Spirit.
