July 25th - July 27th, Avalon, Cowichan Bay, British Columbia
Over three days, we will immerse ourselves in the wisdom of the shamanic medicine traditions as we transform our personal and collective stories through the alchemy of the Gene Keys. Join us on this ancient path of awakening.
Gene Keys Guide Matthew Ashdown and Shaman Holly James bring forward this magical collaboration which blends Indigenous medicine ways with the Gene Keys transmissions. We will journey together in this magical environment surrounded by sacred mountains and guiding creatures. Together we will traverse the realms of the lower, middle and upper worlds held by the power of Grace.
As a group we will connect with the unseen power of nature and work in harmony with our allies for the benefit of all life. You will join in ceremony and work with this sacred land through contemplation, connection and meditation. We will carry this work, and the tools offered, back to our own lands, wherever they might be, creating a bridge to deepen your calling in the individual and collective purpose.
This gathering is open to anyone who feels called to deepen their understanding of these paths. You can be a beginner or seasoned journeyer and still benefit from our time together.
*Early Registration is recommended as this is a small group
Early bird rate before June 31st $599.00
Regular rate $677.00
