Deepen Your Healing Roots
Do you help others in meaningful ways, yet feel that something is missing in your life?
Healthcare providers, healers, and caregivers offer their lives caring for others, yet many feel emotionally drained, fatigued, frustrated, depressed, and ‘burned-out’.
There is a way to rebalance our slowly eroding capacity to care for and connect with others.
Developing a direct relationship with the living world, greatly expands our capacity to connect and care. We feel the world … the world feels us!
Move beyond the noise and listen to the call of the world.
Experience Your Healing Roots – a 5 day retreat on sacred land, designed to help you grow your capacity to care, connect, and thrive.
Life is here to help.
As Mara’akate – initiated “shamanic” healers in the Wixárika tradition – we are emissaries of this ancient healing tradition. We are devoted to helping humans live in better relationship with themselves, each other and the natural world.
In this sacred retreat setting, you will:
Immerse yourself in nature.
Become aware of, tend to and receive help through sacred relationships that are available to all of us, independent of religion or belief system.
Experience the wisdom of a new lens on life.
Increase your capacity to live purposefully.
Receive individual shamanic healing to clean ‘stuck’ patterns, creating new possibilities.
Weave new awareness and practices into your life.
We invite you to take a journey to this sacred place where you will discover perspectives and practices to guide and sustain you.
During this full 5 day retreat you will:
Be held in a ceremonial space around a sacred fire.
Receive individual healing and counseling with one of our resident physician/ mara’akate [traditional shamanic healers] – Lisa Lichtig or Patrick Hanaway
Participate in small group learning and sharing circles.
Deepen in awareness through experiential exercises.
Discover the divine natural world as a source of support and healing.
Also included are 5 monthly follow-up group video calls to support your integration. These sessions are optional and encouraged.
