Workshops, Firewalks & Shamanic Living
Transformational Experiences
Workshops and retreat events
Since 2019, I have been creating workshops and multiday retreats designed to transform and heal those who attend. Held in beautiful natural settings, these gatherings aim to weave together intention setting, ceremony, ritual, journeying, energy work and sharing circles — all supported by warm, nourishing, professionally catered meals.
I am currently seeking a location to host future in-person retreats, so stay tuned for updates on upcoming workshops and retreat dates as they unfold.
Additionally, I also offer a one-on-one retreat that fits your schedule and takes place wherever you are. If you're looking for a more personalized retreat experience, without the hassle or cost of travel, explore the archetypes at work in your life with my Journey Inward program.

What fire and glass walking can teach
Firewalking is an ancient global practice, rooted in humanity's long relationship with the element of fire. While fire is often seen as something to fear, it also holds profound power for transformation.
The healing gift of both fire and glass walks lies in their ability to break through self-limiting beliefs, help us move beyond what keeps us stuck, and open the path to becoming our fullest selves.
Shamanic
living
Shamanism is far more than drumming or guiding meditations under the name of journeys, it is a way of life. It lives in how we connect with our lineage, honor the three worlds, and meet Life itself in each unfolding moment of the day.
As Nicki Scully, a respected teacher of ancient Egyptian shamanism, explains, alchemy—another word for shamanism — is “the interactive dance through which practitioners constantly weave spirits and matter into the multidimensional tapestry of life.”
History of shamanism
Shamanism is humanity’s most ancient healing tradition and a spiritually rooted way of life. Its origins can be traced back tens of thousands of years, to the earliest known shamanic burial in the present-day Czech Republic. There, the remains of the “Fox Shaman”— a woman laid to rest with great ceremony beneath the scapula of a mammoth, adorned with at least one fox pelt and red ocher — offer a glimpse into the sacred role shamans once held in their communities.
Discoveries like this, echoed across continents, reveal the profound and timeless presence of shamanism throughout human history. Though the rituals and ceremonies differ from culture to culture, they share a common thread: the intention to weave together the sacred and the everyday, guiding us back into a sense of wholeness and unity.
Personal shamanic lineage
Shamanism is the tradition of my ancestors — rooted in the Yagas of my maternal lineage from what is now Ukraine and carried through my paternal Samí heritage. Like many around the world, these practices were lost for a time as my ancestors assimilated into the political and religious systems that survival once demanded.
My path has led me to study other lineages, such as Egyptian, Munay-Ki and Turtle Island, including Toltec, which only feels natural, as we are all threads of the same great tapestry.
I cherish the opportunity to blend and dance between the traditions of my heritage and those I have earned through initiations. Having received all nine Karpay, Death Rites and the Blood Rites of the Munay-Ki through the light lineage passed down by those who held the keys to the pathways through the mountains, I now weave these sacred teachings together with the ancestral practices of my own people.
The nine rites or Karpay, I carry are:
-
Healer's Rites
-
Bands of Power
-
Harmony Rites
-
Seer Rites
-
Daykeepers
-
Wisdomkeeper Rite
-
EarthKeeper Rites
-
Starkeeper Rites
-
Creator Rite

Client testimonials
"I wanted to thank you again for our session together, it really has been a game changer.
Not only have I been able to reconnect with my brother, but I feel like it fully opened the channels to my guardian and guiding angels. Which has been a profound help in my Doula work.
I haven’t met many Angels on this earth, and I am so very glad that I met you."
