Join us as we anchor into the energy we want to live this season—and let it ripple into every space we enter.
As we enter the holiday season—a time that can hold tenderness, joy, stress, and deep longing for connection—this gathering invites you into a sanctuary of intention, restoration, and community.
Join us for a special three-hour Holiday-Season Shamanic Oasis, where we will explore the art of creating sacred altars for the season and anchor the energies we want to embody and radiate this winter.
Registration is important!
If for some reason we need to cancel the event, or there is a last minute update, you will not be notified unless you’ve registered.
Sliding Scale, $111-$5
This is a high-value offering led by a skilled, highly trained shamanic practitioner.
It is offered in the spirit of a sacred community model—making deep spiritual work accessible without the financial bottlenecks often found in offerings of this nature and depth. The sliding scale exists to keep this work available to all, not because the experience is low cost.
Think: church, but not a church :) All are welcome, regardless of finances.
Together we will:
Drop into a shamanic practice to receive personal guidance for the season ahead
Explore how to create or refresh a sacred altar that holds the qualities you desire—peace, kindness, clarity, heart-to-heart connection, mutual support
Learn simple, meaningful ways to bring shamanic presence into your holiday gatherings and home
Reflect together on how to bring grounded presence and intentionality into the holidays.
Enjoy a warm and nourishing community potluck
Whether you’re seasoned in shamanic work or brand new to this path, this oasis welcomes you. Bring a dish to pass, an open heart, and any small objects you may wish to include on your seasonal altar.
Bring:
Journal and pen, or sketch book & supplies for processing your experiences
1-4 items to place on our altar. These items will hold the energy of your intentions for he holidays, and the season ahead. You’ll take the items home with you. If you’re not sure what to bring, watch the video about altars.
A dish to share. If you’re able to put a note with your dish regarding whether it’s vegetarian, vegan, gluten free or nut free, that is helpful.
Optional: yoga mat and/or blanket to lay on the floor to journey.
Optional: an eye covering (this can be helpful for blocking out light as we journey).
Please arrive ~10 minutes early to settle in so we can get started on time.
Kids
Kids as young as 5 have journeyed with us several times. If you’re not sure how your child will respond, please grab a spot near the door in case you need to exit early. In this case, you’re welcome to hang out and wait for the group to join you in the dining area until the journey wraps up.
Creating Sacred Space
In the spirit of fostering authentic connection and honoring this sacred space:
Please do no promote your business, disperse flyers, etc, as doing so can create doubt and confusion regarding your intentions for stepping into this space with us.
Please keep what’s shared in our circle confidential.
No politics please. This allows us to fully honor the gift of time and space that we have to share our spiritual experiences and ideas and to connect on a deeper, more vulnerable level.
Avoid recreational use of substances the day of our gathering. For your own spiritual development, refraining from substances for 24 hours prior, and after, is also recommended.
