Experience healing energy from the Big Sur Land and Spirit through Shamanic practices perfected over thousands of years.

Couples' Shaman Session
Shamans realize the universal dance of duality, like day and night, masculine and feminine. Contrast is seen through this natural expression of the opposites, recognizing someone or something in relation to its opposite that can be oppositional or complimentary, depending on the level of awareness. Discover the Shamanic roadmap to transcend to a new level of synergistic sacred wholeness, while feeling balance and harmonizing with your partner.
- TWO PEOPLE $540
Power Animal Drum Journey
At birth, a power animal volunteers to accompany us on our life journey. Each power animal has distinctive powers and characteristics to help support and guide us on the path of life. Through the Shamanic drum rhythms, embark on the same journey to meditative realms of consciousness that humans have traveled since time immemorial. Meet your Power Animal and discover the benefits of having an animal Spirit guide that is coupled to your Soul. This exploration is open to solo travelers as well as groups of up to twelve.
