~JUNE~
Tele-Class: Earth Medicine
Four Tuesdays in June, beginning June 4th
Time: 7 to 8:30 PST
We have become divorced from Nature in modern society. Reclaim the ancient magic of the ancestors who communicated with the trees, the plants, the animals. Learn how to profoundly engage with the Earth using specific intentions to connect with the frequencies of nature. The Earth holds the mysteries and has much to teach us if we have the ability to receive. Through teaching and guided meditation, I will lead you into altered states of consciousness that will make you receptive to the whisperings of the Earth. As you practice on your own, you will integrate this ancient ability with your current life, and re-embody yourself as a true Human Being. Each class is recorded, so you may listen at your leisure.

~JULY~
Walk in Beauty: Shamanism and Spell Breaking: A Year with Shonagh Home
This is a yearlong immersion of releasing oneself from the collective spell to enter into the domain of the Sacred, the True Knowing. Initiates will commit to 4 weekends over the course of the year. These weekends will be a steady deepening into the alchemical mysteries of the mind/heart/body/world complex. Our over-arching guide throughout this journey will be Terra – Mother Earth. Participants will be taught the nature of magic and how to responsibly work with it. Shamanic techniques will be explored as initiates learn to navigate the spirit realms. The plant and animal worlds will be explored in great depth as participants forge alliances with the nature spirits. A working knowledge of the ancient mystery systems of Kabbalah, Freemasonry, Astrology and Tarot will be included in the itinerary. This yearlong program is for serious students only. It is open to both men and women and requires a high level of desire and spiritual maturity. Ongoing “homework” will be assigned and participants will meet one evening per month in addition to the four weekends.
Cost for each weekend: $500 Two lunches and one dinner included
Monthly evening immersion - $30 per month.
Weekend I Exploring the Mind Matrix/Understanding the Spell
Friday, July 19th, 9:30 to 9pm
Saturday, July 20th 10 to 6pm
Sunday, July 21st 10 to 1
In this first weekend we probe the power of the mind. We will delve into our inner nature and explore the alchemical principles of working with the mind – the ‘prima materia’ in order to achieve gnosis and harmony. We will learn what it is to “tame the dragon” as we explore the function of emotions. The nature of spelling will be discussed as we peer into the cultural matrix. This will be an introduction to the nature of magic and how to use it as a shaman, priest/priestess. Divination and ritual will be explored along with techniques for shifting states of consciousness.
Dinner and 2 lunches provided.
Cost for each weekend: $500
Weekend II Trance States
This weekend takes us deeply down the well into the land of “Wyrd.” The focus is on expansive mind states for accessing extra-dimensional intelligences to glean guidance and wisdom. This is the place where relationships with the inhabitants of other realms can be established. This can bring to the initiate high-level protectors and allies. Are these intelligences aspects of our own psyche? How can we trust the information that we have accessed? What is required of us to gain the trust of these otherworldly beings? How did our ancestors work with these realms? We will explore the constructs of ritual as well as the inner preparation necessary to bring us to these profound states of access. Ethics around the sharing of gleaned information will be addressed.
Weekend III The Art of Conjuring
What is it to conjure? How do we manipulate energy and bring an idea into being? What prevents us from manifesting our desires? How do we initiate change into our perceived paradigm? What is real? We return again to the power of the mind to answer these questions. Spirit allies will play a role in the work we do this weekend. We will study some of the ancient schools of magic to deepen our understanding.
Weekend IV Merging with Nature
This weekend takes us from the western, standardized understanding of nature, and initiates us into the mystical “intelligences” that express themselves as “tree,” “crow,” flower,” and so on. Using specified techniques to merge with these intelligences, we will endeavor to converse with Mother Earth the way our ancient ancestors knew to do. This weekend will explore the heathen cultures that lived by the laws of Nature and held within their cultures the ability to intuit by listening to the earth. What is a heathen? How were these cultures demonized and why? Our ritual will include high trance states to access these ancestors for their guidance. The sacred use of herbs and oils for healing and ritual will be explored, as will the role of animal medicine allies.
~AUGUST~
Nature and the Body: A Weekend Immersion
Friday, August 9th, 10 to 9:30pm
Saturday, August 10th, 10 to 6pm
Sunday, August 11th, 10 to 1pm
This is a dip into an ancient well of knowledge that has been long forgotten by humans. This is a reclaiming of the original technology – the ability to engage with Nature to receive information, wisdom, healing and assistance. This is about reclaiming the ancient magic of our true wholeness and living from this place, rather than coming from our modern mindset of limitation and lack.
Our time together will consist of powerful teachings that come from the mushroom spirits that Shonagh encountered on her plant journeys. Spells will be broken during this time together so that all can SEE. Participants will work with the frequencies of Nature to open new doors of perception, enabling them to communicate with the trees, the plants, and all the beings of Nature. We will shed the energies that block our heart/mind complex and keep us in limitation. Participants will integrate this knowledge with their current life and re-embody themselves as true Human Beings – Majestic beings of Truth, Light and Beauty. Welcome back to the re-membering!
Cost: $450
