Shamanic Healing:  Native American Experiences In The Sedona Vortex!

The shamanic sessions described below involve various Native American ceremonies in the Sedona area.  Any of these shamanic experiences can be added to any SpiritQuest package to create a customized retreat that is perfect for you.

Drum Ceremony
Awaken your ancestral memories with drumming and ceremony. This session takes place out in the Red Rocks of Sedona. where you will feel grounded and connected to the earth! Listen to the powerful vibration of the drum as it replicates the heartbeat of Mother Earth, and carries your prayer into the Spirit world.

Pipe Ceremony
This releasing and cleansing ceremony takes place in a power spot out on the red rocks of Sedona. The smoke from the pipe represents the participants' visible breath and stands for truth: truthful words, truthful actions, and a truthful spirit. Smoke from the pipe is regarded by some Native American tribes to “remove the anger from one’s heart.”  This ceremony connects us deeper with Mother Earth and Father Sky in the recognition that we release our negative patterns and we re-build by calling in integrity and honesty. In regard to the actual smoking, a healing blend of herbs such as mullen, yerba sante, mugwort, and sage is used rather than tobacco.  These healing herbs cleanse and release toxins. They are non-addictive.  Participants are not required to inhale smoke during the ceremony.  Nonsmokers simply hold the pipe for a moment and then pass it on to the next person.

Medicine Wheel Ceremony
A Medicine Wheel is a physical manifestation of Spiritual energy, an outward expression of an internal dialogue. It is a mirror in which we can better SEE what is going on within us. It is a wheel of protection and enables us to gather surrounding energies into a focal point and to commune with Spirit, Self and Nature (ALL elemental forces)........Creation! It helps us with our "Vision," to see exactly where we are and in which areas we need to develop in order to realize and become our potentials.

HeartFlame Activation
This Shamanic ceremony creates a pathway of un-conditional love and light toward one's self and all existence. Using vibrational medicine, which includes, sound, voice, crystals, oils, and herbs…you will feel the essence of your soul and come into the remembrance of your divinity.

Releasing Ceremony
In our lives we encounter issues and trauma that we internalize. The stress and emotional baggage that we carry due to this pain can cause disease and anxiety. It is a constant stress on the psyche and body. In this session you will be guided to release and "let go" of those unwanted weights. Don't let the story become more real than the present.

Meet Your Guides
The term Spirit Guide generally makes reference to one or more entities who watch, teach, heal, and help you on your physical journey into spiritual awareness. They are above in higher frequency, while you experience the physical below. Communication is generally telepathic, clairaudience, with archetypes and visual imagery, clairvoyance, observed during meditation, dream time, or just learning how to focus, look and listen to messages received. Some people call this method of connection, channeling. The more you practice, the easier it gets. Each guide generally comes to you for a specific purpose - creative abilities, healing issues, spiritual development, etc.

Flute Odyssey
This session features renowned artist and musician, Jesse Kalu who has been playing his own home-made bamboo flutes for over 30 years. His melodies come from the heart, and touch his audiences in unique ways. Each flute has its name & song. He will take you to a sacred place and introduce you to a land meditation. Emanating through his hand-crafted flutes, are the wildlife calls of doves, quails, loons, hawks, owls, seagulls, dolphins, whales, coyotes, wolves.

Shamanic Journey
Shamanism is about being connected with nature, understanding that we are earth-based, the real and living knowledge of which is then used for balance, health, relationships, and success in all that we do. “Shamanism” is one of the oldest tribal healing traditions of indigenous people, which can be found in many different cultures worldwide. The one thing they have in common is communication and interaction with the spirit world. It is the oldest way in which human race has sought connection with Creation.  This very special session involves being out on the land with a practitioner.

Soul Retrieval
“Lost parts’ or ‘Soul Pieces’ are aspects of yourself that were once whole but became fragmented due to trauma or emotional upheaval.  When the psyche perceives an event as too overwhelming, it seeks to protect you from the full impact by separating part of you away from your main energy system.  The fragmented part then holds the memory of the event and the full emotional impact so that your psyche can continue to function intact.  The price for this protection however is often loss of spirit.  This manifests as being ‘shut down’ or ‘numb’ in some area of your life. In a Soul Recovery session the lost part is retrieved and returned to you so that you can integrate it and become whole again.

Spiritual Awakening
Spiritual Awakening deals with deepening your connection with God/Source/Spirit and working with you at your Soul level, asking the questions and exploring why did you come here?  What are your lessons, challenges?  What is your purpose? How to get in touch with you at your center, the Source of who you are, bridging the outer with the inner.

Sweat Lodge
The Sweat Lodge is a ceremonial sauna traditionally used by Native American peoples. The ritual includes prayers, drumming, chanting, and offerings to the spirit world. Great care is given to placement, orientation, and construction of the lodge. Allowing ourselves to sweat as a ceremonial process, we cleanse our spirits and we let go of that which no longer serves us. A great sense of community and connection is felt.
