Volunteer Trip to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. June 24-29, 2018

x

Our annual weeklong volunteer trip to South Dakota to meet, live, and work with the Oglala Lakota people at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.  Set in the heart-opening vistas of the prairie and nearby Badlands National Park, participants will experience first-hand the people, history, culture, and spirituality of one of the largest surviving Native American tribes today.  Our mission is to experience how the earth-honoring ways of the Lakota offer deep wisdom on living in balance with nature and Spirit, through the use of both traditional teachings and sustainable technology.

San Francisco Retreat: Awaken Your Jaguar!  Oct. 19-21, 2018.

Jeff is partnering with colleague Anna Dorian to bring this powerful 3-day weekend of soul transformation, shamanic visioning, and life way-finding skills to the Bay area!  Anna is the founder and director of Vibrant Reiki, a wide range of reiki courses and shamanic healing programs, and she’s hosting Jeff for these two day-long programs designed to clarify and activate your unique medicine for the world.   We’ll first learn the art and skill of fire talks (shamanic counseling sessions), and then venture into deep nature for a day of vision questing in the heart-opening Marin headlands. The weekend will benefit newcomers to shamanism, as well as experienced practitioners, with innovative teachings and actual outdoor nature-based experiences that you will not find in conventional ‘hotel shamanism’ programs.  Full information and registration link here.
