In this transformational advanced retreat, students are invited to move beyond the boundaries of what they have believed possible—both as human beings and as agents of change—through an ever-deepening relationship with the world of spirit.
Throughout the workshop, participants will explore the subtle nuances of personal power and learn how to cultivate and refine it so that it can properly align with and channel universal power. Through a carefully structured progression of practices and initiations, students are guided—gently but decisively—into direct contact with the world of spirit and the vast current of universal energy that flows through it. The training also includes advanced healing techniques such as extraction, soul part exchange, and lineage line healing, allowing participants to expand their capacity to facilitate profound transformation in themselves and others.
This immersive experience is especially valuable for those who wish to deepen their ability to work across multiple levels of reality, explore the unknown dimensions of human experience from a place of grounding and stability, and release self-limiting beliefs in order to fulfill their greater potential and serve more fully in the world.

“I have been a student of shamanism for many years and have had many remarkable teachers. I am humbled and profoundly moved by my experience in Isa’s Advanced Applied Shamanism workshop. What she teaches here is not being taught by anyone anywhere that I have yet found. Her integrity and dedication to both the sacredness of the material and her students is refreshing, and I can’t say enough how appreciative I am.” – Janet S.
