Enter an 8-week shamanic container to explore the view of Asian animistic traditions and learn practices that bring you more fully into relationship with the living cosmos.
Feel what it’s like to live in a world that is animated, sentient, and responsive.
Deepen in the arts of ritual and relationship that return you to the feeling of secure connection and loving intimacy with life.

NOTE: This is an introductory experience to a longer training for serious practitioners, coaches, healers, therapists, leaders, and facilitators who want to integrate a more shamanic, energy-based, and relational approach to their work. We are in the process of creating an in-depth training program that integrates wisdom and practice in a practical and deeply integrated approach that doesn’t compromise the more mystical and shamanic roots of these approaches while training people in practical relational applications.

About Your Guides
From Mark and Cain,
Since we met in Hawaii in 1998, we have been exploring the radical ways that Asian wisdom traditions inform the process of trauma resolution, spiritual awakening, inter-generational healing, and global transformation. In this 8-week container, we will share some gems, key principles, and practices we’ve found most transformative for ourselves and our students.
Let’s co-create a sacred circle that enlivens the innate power within each of us!
