Connection with Oneself

The School of Shamanic Initiation

I had the opportunity to experience a spiritual retreat at the school of shamanic initiation and wanted to share my thoughts on it. The spiritual retreat was an amazing experience that I will never forget. It is hard to describe in words how much you grow as a person during such an event, there were many moments where I felt like we were connecting with something larger than ourselves.

We all have a need for peace and tranquility. I did find a place of silence where you can reconnect with yourself. The school of shamanic initiation was an opportunity to strengthen my core values, set new goals, and create positive change in my life through practicing energy medicine, mindfulness, plant medicine and meditation techniques.

Also, what I can say in my experience is that this retreat help me to find balance from life's busyness. The program was clear from the beginning to the end, the property was beautiful and I was able to disconnect to connect with myself. The staff Shaba, Jessica, Victor, Crystal, Kristin were caring and loving. The preparation that the organizers have done is outstanding. The retreat provides the perfect environment for a spiritual exploration using plant medicines.

The whole weekend was really eye opening for me and I had never felt so connected with myself before. My favorite activity was meditation and sound healing, it will be difficult to go back to life outside of the retreat after spending time in such an inspiring environment.

What made the whole thing even better was meeting other people who shared similar views, challenges, and ideas as me which really helped me feel less alone in this world!

Thank you! It was a really unforgettable experience and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a way to connect with themselves and the world around them.
