Join us for a transformative journey into the heart of shamanic wisdom and the sacred teachings of the medicine wheel. In this immersive event, you will explore ancient practices used by indigenous cultures to connect with spirit, nature and inner guidance. Through guided meditation, storytelling, and ceremony, you’ll learn how to work with the four directions, the elements, and the cycles of life as tools for healing and self-discovery. Whether you are new to shamanism or deepening an existing path, this experience offers a powerful gateway to balance, insight, and spiritual connection.

Retreat Guides
Crane’s Lair
Crane’s Lair
The Crane’s Lair is a shamanic pagan group rooted in reverence for the land, the spirit world and the ancient rhythms of nature. We gather in sacred circle to honor the wisdom of our ancestors, commune with the unseen, and walk the path of transformation. Like the crane – keeper of secrets, walker between worlds – we move with intention through the veil, seeking, healing, insight and connection. All paths are welcome here as long as they are walked with respect, curiosity and heart.
