A Transformational Retreat & Training for Healers and Ceremony Facilitators
August 8–15 | Upper Peninsula, Michigan

Step onto the Sacred Path of the Healer.

Join us for an immersive 7-day retreat and initiation into the sacred arts of traditional and ancestral healing. Held in the wild, pristine beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, this journey is designed for those called to walk the path of the Medicine Woman or Medicine Man.

Throughout our time together, you’ll be guided by lineage keepers, native elders, somatic practitioners, and ceremonial facilitators. You will receive transmissions of wisdom rooted in ancient and contemporary healing traditions, sacred rites, and shamanic dreaming practices - all grounded in embodied presence and reverence for the Mother Earth.

Every morning opens with the practice of “Magical Passes” a movement meditation that awakens energy and prepares you to receive the day’s teachings.

Immersive Breath Codes (™) is the system created by Ariana Sky Walker, based on the ancient ceremony paradigm.

It includes powerful breathing practices and deep work with perception shifts for healing, developing attention, memory, intention, awareness & capacity for shamanic dreaming.

It integrates work with archetypes, traumatic experiences, inner vision/observation, calling our energy back to be in integrity with ourselves. 

It provides the tools you can take into your daily life, improving its quality.

Shamanic Dreaming is a deep conscious work with perception changes during daily life and during sleep. You will be introduced to the specifics of it, different approaches & levels of work within Dreaming realms, anywhere between lucid dreams and profound reality shifts; between Toltec wisdom, traditions & daily life practicality.

You will explore the intricacies of the subconscious in your healing practice. 

Constellations is a therapeutic technique used to explore hidden dynamics within families and other systems, such as businesses, aiming to reveal and resolve relational entanglements that may unconsciously affect a person’s life or the atmosphere of an organization. While it bears a resemblance to psychodrama, constellations function more as a ritual of transpersonal mapping—less rooted in logic, more attuned to the field of subtle, often unseen forces.

This method has found application beyond the family context, extending into organizational development, trauma healing, and even ancestral ritual work. It invites participants into a spatial and often symbolic representation of their inner and relational worlds, allowing deeper patterns to surface and reconfigure.

Constellations are a mirror to the soul’s blind spots.
