What is the Medicine Wheel?The Medicine Wheel is a transformational program rooted in Andean Shamanism that spans over 10 months and is a four course curriculum that uses the four directions as the map of the journey, South, West, North, East. We meet four times a year for a four day immersive weekend. The Medicine Wheel isn’t necessarily about becoming a traditional shaman. It’s about becoming your own self-referencing shaman—someone who is deeply connected to their inner wisdom, who trusts themselves to navigate life with clarity and purpose. This journey teaches you how to map out your own path, to see challenges from a new perspective, and to engage with life from a place of deeper alignment and truth.

What is the difference between taking Medicine Wheel in person or via zoom?In-Person Medicine Wheel Immersive Connection: Surrounded by the serene, breathtaking mountains of Utah, you’ll immerse in a group setting that can shift you away from everyday distractions, creating a sacred space to connect deeply with yourself and others. Create a Stronger Community: Engage in face-to-face interactions, where meaningful bonds form through shared rituals, partner processes and group discussions. Personal Connection with Teacher: Receive rites directly from the teacher in a hands-on ceremony. Sit in a beautiful sacred space as we come together as a group to witness each person receiving the energetic rites of this path. Ceremony in Nature: Begin and end the weekend with outdoor fire ceremonies, grounding yourself in the earth’s energy in a way that amplifies the experience. Make a hands-on experience in ceremony with the group and learn what it is like to create a sacred Fire Ceremony. Focused Experience: This 4-day program offers a chance to fully dedicate yourself to the Medicine Wheel teachings, returning each day feeling more connected, recharged, and aligned. Zoom Medicine Wheel (Virtual Option) Sacred Connection from Anywhere: Engage from the comfort of your own space and still feel connected to the group. You will be led through all the same processes and receive the sacred rites - although the rites will be transmitted to the whole group remotely at one time and guided as a group journey. This is done with the same spiritual intention and care, but you will not receive the rites forehead to forehead as done traditionally in person. When we work with the energetics it transcends time and space - so it is just as powerful - but offered in a different manner. Group-Led Focus: While there’s less partner work, you still benefit from group discussions and shared experiences, fostering a sense of belonging and reflection. Flexible and Convenient: Perfect for those who can’t travel. You can still immerse yourself in the teachings and the group without leaving your home. Less Distraction in Your Space: Participate in the Medicine Wheel process in your own sacred environment, free from travel logistics and with the flexibility to create your sacred space in your home.

Who can benefit from the Medicine Wheel program?The medicine Wheel is for anybody! People often ask, “Is the Medicine Wheel for me if I don’t want to become a practitioner?” And the answer is always yes! The Medicine Wheel is a journey for anyone ready to step into their own power, to become their own healer, their own guide. It’s not about changing careers or embracing a label—it’s about learning to trust yourself, to find your own answers, and to carry your own medicine and feel empowered through life.
