Workshops & Classes
Shamanic Journeying Workshop
Shamanism, an ancient global tradition, is a spiritual way of living and healing based on experiential knowledge. Within its core is the knowing that Spirit exists in everything, and all things are connected within the infinite fabric of life. A hallmark of shamanism is the shamanic journey. It allows the shaman/healer the ability to access ordinarily hidden realms and realities for the purpose of healing.
This experiential workshop includes:
ceremony, exploring the belief system of shamanism, opening our inner senses, grounding, journeying to the lower and upper worlds, journeying for one another, attaining and working with power animals, learning about the soul and integration.
This workshop is foundational for many others.
“The weekend opened me up to so many feelings, thoughts, beliefs, new ways of relating — and each opening has gotten bigger and deeper as the years go by. The part of the class that had the biggest impact on me was what I have come to call “Radical Acceptance.” I don’t think I had ever experienced that feeling in a group before. I watched Annie accept everything and everyone fully, without judgment, and we all followed in her footsteps, offering each other deep acceptance.”

“I want to formally thank you for the opportunity to experience a personal healing ceremony as well as attend the Shamanic Journeying workshop. Recently, I reached a major crossroads in my life, and before last week I felt weak and ill equipped to walk the virtuous path. The healing and the workshop allowed me to sift through a lot of past wreckage and uncover enough knowledge of my true nature (Individual/Spiritual) to keep me motivated through any trying times that may come in the next few weeks/months. Without your compassion, I know my sobriety (and therefore continuing spiritual journey) would not be possible.”

Soul Retrieval Workshop
When we experience trauma in our lives, our souls respond – parts dissociate, detach and become stuck in time. In the short term, we survive the trauma, yet in the long term, we become soul lost. Depression, feelings of emptiness, addictions, chronic illness, post-traumatic stress and anxiety are all common symptoms of soul loss. Shamanic Soul Retrieval is a ceremony and healing modality where, with intention, lost soul parts are found, offered healing, and brought home to the soul where they belong. This restoration of vital essence unifies us. It gives us the opportunity to live in present time and experience life with heightened awareness and joy.
This experiential workshop includes:
ceremony, learning about the spirit/soul/human relationship, understanding soul loss, working with personal helping spirits, receiving and performing soul retrievals, post-soul retrieval suggestions and integration.
Shamanic journeying experience is a pre-requisite.
“I came to Annie for her ‘Midwife as Healer’ course in the early 1990’s. Little did I know that walking into her living room and sitting in her circle would so completely change my life. Knowing Annie has opened my eyes, expanded my willingness and energized my soul. She has been my guide to truly finding myself, learning to trust and experiencing the worldly beauty all around us.”
— W. Holistic Pilates Teacher
The Death Gateway Workshop
The Death Gateway is a tunnel we, as Spirit, travel through when we leave the physical, human life and move into the spirit realm. I became familiar with it during my initiation.
This experiential workshop includes:
learning about the Death Gateway, an exploration of one’s will to live, understanding death and rebirth while still in human form, recognizing the relationship between soul loss and health, healing opportunities regarding our relationship with death and integration.
Shamanic journeying experience is a pre-requisite.
“I had my first healing with Annie in November 2000. This led to soul retrieval and then a 6-month spiritual healing class. Annie helped me heal places that were keeping me from moving forward. She gave me tools to continue to discover, love and become the true divine spirit I am. She is the example of how to hold the space for another as they heal and awaken to the divine within.”
— B. Physical Therapist
The Birth Gateway Workshop
Each of us is Spirit, Conscious Lights of Love. We left the spirit realm, journeyed through the Birth Gateway, and merged with form. Why? What are our purposes and intentions for this Earth visit? Why did we choose our parents, siblings, and childhood dramas? What is the karma we planned on completing? What is our biggest life path? Are we walking it?
This experiential workshop includes exploring each person’s unique journey as Spirit in relation to:
our beginning, the human soul, karma, reincarnation, spirit realm between lives, guides and teachers, conscious life selection, travel through the Birth Gateway, conception, pregnancy, birth and early postpartum.
Shamanic journeying experience is a pre-requisite.
“I would be surprised to find a day in the last year and a half when I have not, at some point, stopped and given thanks to Annie. She brought me home, affirmed and gave value to my experiences and offered me avenues to Ground, Center and Trust. She helped me bring my inner experiences into useful form and make a life that before felt split, tenuous and confusing… into one that now is Whole, Real and Solid. I know Annie saved my life.”
— J. Energy Healer
An Introduction to Hands-on Healing Workshop
Within the core of all illness – physical, emotional, and spiritual – lies the illusion of separation from the Divine. Instead of identifying with our Light, we identify with our minds, stories and wounds. Hands-on Healing is a dynamic tool that enables us to rapidly shed layers of misconception and awaken to the free, healthy beings we inherently are.
This experiential workshop includes:
defining and understanding hands-on healing, working within the soulscape of another, grounding, ceremony, prayer, working with spiritual guidance, enhancing intuition, channeling Light, receiving information, the path of Faith and Trust and integration.
There are no pre-requisites.
“I love getting the distilled learning Annie spends endless time and energy gathering. Her generosity to share it is by far one of the most important things she does. She has always done this.”
— L. Reiki Master
An Introduction to Spiritual Healing Workshop
We are multidimensional beings and have endless opportunities to connect with Life in all its forms. Being open to new ways of experiencing and seeing is core to Spiritual Healing. It’s imperative to trust, integrate and live our experiences as Truth.
This experiential workshop includes:
ceremony, understanding Faith and Trust, grounding, enhancing intuition, the human soulscape, intention, prayer, an introduction to hands-on healing, the shamanic way and integration.
There are no pre-requisites.
“Annie, you’ve made a profound change in my life. The healing experience and the fulfillment I feel are amazing. Take my love with you wherever you go.”
— L. Entrepreneur
A Day in Nature Workshop
The Q’ero, descendants of the Inka, live high in the Peruvian Andes where the energy of Pachamama, Mother Earth, is strong and pure. Regarded as “keepers of the ancient knowledge,” they are in constant interaction with the many worlds of living energy surrounding them. During A Day in Nature, participants learn about and experience some of the spiritual tools of the Q’ero.
This experiential workshop includes:
the mesa (medicine bundle), feeling different qualities of energy, energy bubbles, spiritual stomachs, intention and despachos (offerings.)
As we consciously enter the harmonious world of living energies of Mother Earth, we weave a fabric of interconnectedness between one another and our environment.
This workshop is outside and involves walking.
“If you can feel the potential of your life and wonder how you are ever going to realize it, go see Annie. She is the marriage of heaven and earth manifest and positively glows with her completely grounded connection with the unseen realms.”
— L. Feng Shui Practitioner
Spiritual Healing – Full Class Series
As Spiritual/Human Beings, our conscious evolution depends upon the healing and awakening of our souls. We must all come into present time. Our wounds, unhealthy beliefs, vows, etc., collect as heavy energy within our soulscapes and predispose us to physical, emotional and energetic illness. Spiritual Healing allows us to powerfully resolve these burdens. As a result, our souls begin radiating refined energy, our birthright. We’re able to live in the present and remember who we are and why we’re here. Oftentimes miracles occur, and physical and emotional illnesses disappear completely.
During this 4-6 month intensive, students learn, practice and integrate:
grounding, intention, working with spiritual guidance, channeling Light, shamanic journeying, soul retrieval, inner dialog, emotional release, distant healing, ceremony, healing illness and more.
During this life changing class you’ll experience the dynamic interplay between Spiritual Healing and Shamanism and see how they affect healing and awakening on every level of our being.
