Workshops & Ceremonies
Introduction to Shamanic Journeying
This workshop introduces the technique of the core shamanic journey. Participants learn to access expanded states of consciousness to receive guidance and healing.
Toolbox for Shamanic Consciousness
This experiential weekend workshop combines meditation practice and shamanic journeying to explore the nature and roots of shamanic consciousness. Through play, exploration, drumming, channeled healings and group sharing, participants are led to a new understanding of what a user-friendly spiritual, shamanic practice looks like.
Practical Mysticism & the Chakras
This workshop is a "guided tour" through the qualities of each chakra. The chakras in a person's energy field are energetic processors of human experience--physical, emotional and spiritual. Participants come into relationship with their own unique chakra system configurations through psychodrama, artwork, shamanic journeying and meditation.
Solar Consciousness & Inner Authority
In this retreat participants cultivate their relationship with their own inner “authority” in a new way. The esoteric art of “authoring” one’s life consciously allows for alignment with one’s true Self.
Celebrating Our Fire: Women’s Shamanic Journey Circle
This February ceremony invokes the presence of the Celtic goddess of inspiration, Brigid, keeper of the flame and of the sacred well.
Venus in Retrograde: Creativity & the Beloved in the Underworld with Marcia Starck
This workshop, co-facilitated by Luisa and medical astrologer Marcia Starck, offered participants a deep exploration of buried creativity and the unconscious archetypal energies that inform love relationships.
The Sacred Inner Marriage: Archetypal Shamanism for Conscious, Embodied Wholeness
This weekend workshop focuses on the development of spirit-centered awareness in the physical, creative, sexual, relational and spiritual arenas of one’s personal life, invoking masculine and feminine god and goddess archetypes through shamanic journeying.
Transformation 1 & 2
This workshop blends the co-dependency model of Pia Mellody with the techniques of shamanic healing. The technique of shamanic journeying is used to retrieve and integrate “lost” parts of our spiritual selves (such as joy, spontaneity, vulnerability, sexuality and self-worth). These parts are lost due to emotional and spiritual wounding in childhood. Through drumming, meditation, physical movement, a creative/art project and shamanic journeys, participants explore the depths of their inner selves and invite all the parts of themselves to be included in their aliveness.
Luisa customizes workshops and ceremonies upon request.
Shamanic Journeying Through the Seasons
Spring Equinox Shamanic Journey Day
This day long workshop centers around balance: finding balance between the rootedness of winter and the expansion of summer that approaches. This day is both an exploration of the ways in which one feels “confined” and a celebration of our unbounded creativity and joy.
Summer Solstice Shamanic Journey Day
In this day long workshop, participants visit the intentions and desires that were planted in the spring, nurturing their growth and bringing to light old patterns that may stunt this growth and which can be transformed into new expressions of aliveness and joy.
Autumnal Equinox Shamanic Journey Day
In this day long gathering, participants come together to reap the harvest of the strong solar energies of the summer to prepare for the winter’s journey into the underworld.
Winter Solstice Shamanic Journey Day
In this day long workshop, participants journey with their helping spirits to release beliefs, behaviors and fears, clearing one’s inner psychic space for greater aliveness and rebirth.
