Retreats and Ceremony

Workshops, meditations, ceremony, drum circles, journey-work all are enhanced in a group setting.


Austin Shamanic Community Campout and Journey Circle

Twice each year I facilitate a three day retreat for the Austin Shamanic Community. Activities include, among other things, outdoor journeying, labyrinth ceremony, morning meditations, sacred object creation and lots of time for healing conversation and energy work.

The following will link to some gallery images for each of the past retreats.

Making a Prayer of Gratitude Dreamcatcher Circle

Annually held near Thanksgiving, this Ceremony involves the weaving of a large dream catcher, then the opportunity for participants to receive and give gratitude. Very beautiful and powerful.

A Catcher woven between us
Connects us all
We give our Gratitude and Unconditional Love to all things
Letting us hold the space of every one and every thing

Letting us for a brief moment feel how it does
To have influence on an entire Universe

A Walk in the Wood Meditation

We walk silently and barefoot down a short trail through a grove of juniper trees to a hidden “Catcher Altar” in the woods. There we sit and drum for 10 to 15 minute to set our intentions and ask for guidance. We then exit in silence just as we came in.
