Summer 2025

• 2 in-person Friday-Sunday Oregon coastal retreats at Sweet Root Hollow where I’ll be co-teaching with Danielle Lombardi of Portland Healing Space

  • “Practicing Belonging: Listening to the Spirit of the Land” July 11-13, 2025

    • Come home to the land, your body, and your soul in this intimate, in-person weekend retreat at Sweet Root Hollow. Together, we will listen deeply to the whispers of the earth, awaken the language of dreams, and tend a sacred connection to our inner and outer nature.

      Co-guided by Shankari, Wild Wisdom Guide and Somatic IFS Practitioner, and Danielle Lombardi, Acupuncturist, Energy Worker, and Soul Guide, this retreat invites you into a rich field of healing practices rooted in ancient wisdom, reverent land offerings, and intuitive group process.

  • “Practicing Inner Listening: Nature as Guide to Your Parts” August 1-3, 2025

    • Following the powerful field of our first gathering—or arriving fresh and curious—you are invited into a weekend of deep inner listening and relational healing. This retreat is a sanctuary for reconnecting with your internal system of Parts through the living mirror of nature.

      We will explore the gentle, transformative framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS) alongside intuitive nature practices, somatic tracking, and land-based ritual. With the support of a grounded and nurturing container, you’ll learn how to recognize and tend to your Parts with curiosity, compassion, and clarity.

      Whether you are new to IFS or already in loving dialogue with your inner system, this weekend offers an opportunity to deepen your self-leadership and awaken the power of nature as co-regulator, guide, and witness.

Wrapping up 2024

• Just for you - release of my new free guided meditation, Unwind & Unblend. Gently release the tensions of the day and reconnect with your deeper Self—your Inner Healer. Using principles from Internal Family Systems (IFS), this practice helps you unblend from any parts that may be activated, such as the inner critic, planner, or protector. You’ll create spaciousness inside, allowing clarity, calm, and compassion to naturally arise. This is a soft, grounding meditation designed to bring you back to center, so you can rest in your own presence.
