Shamanic journeying

Breathwork, Cacao, and Fire Ceremony

Breathe until you’re surprised. 

Your ability to shift from an ordinary state in the modern world to a non-ordinary state in the spirit world is only a breath away.

For centuries, Shamans have used fire, drumming, and breathing techniques to put themselves into a deep meditation and journey into spiritual realms. This technique is safe because you control your breath. You’re in charge of the gas pedal and the brake.

Breathwork at Katydid Lodge

Most of my breathwork events are at Katydid Lodge east of Chagrin Falls, Ohio.
