We are living in the turbulent times that were prophesied by indigenous cultures all over the world. The Hopi Elder’s of Arizona Issued a prophecy on June 8, 2000 that encouraged people to recognize their role in shaping their reality and to take positive action to create a better world. “The river is flowing very fast and there are those who will be afraid. Know the river has its destination.” It ends with the line “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.” The ancient practices and teachings of shamanism are incredible gifts that are available to help us feel more grounded, connected, empowered and hopeful. This path can help awaken our intuition, spiritual gifts, innate power, and an expanded level of consciousness. (For more information on The Hopi Prophecy, see below).
On beautiful, powerful land we will be a tribe of kindred spirits joining in sacred ritual, shamanic journeying, nature connection, wisdom council, a transformational fire ceremony, power retrievals, and deep listening to Earth, Spirit, Ourselves and Each Other. Together we can find strength and balance to continue living in challenging times and vision a positive future. Come join the Sacred Circle and build resilience for times ahead!

The Hopi prophecy petroglyph, often called Prophecy Rock, is an ancient carving that depicts two paths that is thought to represent humanity’s choices. One path, a straight and narrow line, symbolizes living in harmony with nature and each other, and it continues on indefinitely. The other path, a zig-zagging line, represents a path of technological advancement and disregard for ecological principles, leading to chaos and destruction and an indeterminate future.
Overview
In this retreat, we are invited to let go of our everyday mind and enter a Shamanic State of Consciousness, where anything is possible! Magic is present as the trees and plants and stones and animals speak to us if we become quiet enough to listen. Our Spirit Guides and Ancestors come to life in drum journeys and we can hear the calling of our soul. We join with the Elements of Fire, Water, Earth and Air to teach us, heal us, and recharge us. Ancient ceremonies will help us remember Who We Truly Are. we cultivate Joy, celebrate Beauty and express Gratitude.
