The Year at a Glance
This training follows the Four Directions of the Medicine Wheel.
Each direction invites a different stage of exploration—from releasing old patterns to reclaiming your power and creating a vision for how you want to serve.
​
Each quarter begins with a 3-day in-person intensive, followed by three months of practice and integration. Throughout the year, you’ll develop your personal spiritual practice while learning to work with shamanic tools.
