    The lovely mountain town of Sisters is located just north of Bend in Central Oregon. A tourist destination, the Bend-Sisters area is home to gorgeous hiking trails, fantastic restaurants, and endless art galleries, with the Deschutes River flowing through.

    Our workshop will take place at a privately owned shamanic yurt on acres of forested land. It is pure magic and incredibly well-tended energetically.

    welcome to beautiful Sisters, oregon

    Who is this for?

    This is for anyone who wants to deepen their connection with spirit and the Earth, learn shamanic skills for healing self and other, and gain greater self trust through spiritual rewilding.

    Everyone is welcome.

    Those looking for personal growth will deepen their spiritual understanding of life and self, while those working in healing professions will learn to make their existing work even more effective.

    Beginners will find a safe and supportive environment with plenty of personal support. More experienced practitioners will benefit from the power of our container to explore new depths of practice.

    This is for you if…

    • You are a coach, massage therapist, counselor, or healer

    • You feel called to heal others with spiritual and energetic techniques

    • You love the Earth and want to learn how to connect more deeply with nature

    • You are able to self-regulate and tend your own nervous system as needed

    • You have an open heart and open mind

    • You’ve been studying shamanic or animist arts for a long time and are excited to go deeper in community 

    • You’re new to all of this, maybe even worried you won’t be able to do it, but you feel a calling—trust that!

    This is not for you if…

    • You’re not willing to have an open mind and explore new ideas—an open mind is the only real requirement for this!

    • You’re expecting psychedelics—you will learn skills that can support psychedelic integration, but we won’t be partaking during this workshop

    • You’re experiencing severe trauma and are unable to self-regulate—you must be able to tend yourself, your nervous system, and your own well-being throughout this workshop

    • You’re primary goal is personal healing—this workshop is focused on cultivating spirit skills, not receiving personal healing

    Your Guide

    Juniper Stokes
    Dense forest of evergreen trees with sunlight illuminating a single tree in the center.

    Welcome! I’m Juniper Stokes, and I am devoted to supporting you on your journey of connecting to nature, spirit, and the cosmos.

    I’ve been studying, practicing, and teaching spiritual rewilding and earth-based healing for over two decades.

    Along the way, I’ve completed a 3-year shamanic practitioner training, two-year teacher training with Sandra Ingerman, and extensive study with Betsy Bergstrom. I also have formal training in Mayan, Norse, Celtic, Taoist, and Egyptian animist practices, as well as Western magic traditions.

    I am always learning, and I’m here to support you no matter what traditions you come from or are drawn to.

    You are the expert of your own spiritual path. I believe that diversity is a gift to any circle, and welcome those from all walks of life to join my trainings.

    Integrity and service are at the heart of my offerings…as is joy! This is serious work and we don’t shy from shadow, but we do laugh our way though.

    I can’t wait to meet you!

      FAQs

      • Nope. This isn’t residential—you’ll need to find a place to stay if you’re coming from outside the area. I’m happy to connect you with other students and make recommendations to help :)

        And it’s also not a retreat! You will learn so much, and it will be so fun…but you will also probably finish each day totally exhausted. And you will love it!

      • This workshop is for you! This is the basic, foundational workshop for all other trainings, so it’s designed with total beginners in mind.

        I have been helping students and clients learn how to journey and access spiritual wisdom for two decades. You will enter into a safe, judgment-free zone filled with spiritual support for your learning.

      • If you’ve been on the path awhile, you know that there are always more layers to explore. Come with an open mind and bring your questions, as our small group will allow for personal mentorship.

        That said, if you are going to be bored out of your mind by talks on power animals, shamanic illness, and the clairs, maybe this isn’t for you. Feel free to reach out directly if you’re unsure—I’m happy to help!

      • This course serves as a prerequisite for all advanced shamanic trainings, including Sandra’s next Shamanic Teacher Training, which begins in April 2025 (and which I will be assisting at!). Advanced courses include: Soul Retrieval, Extraction, Death & Dying, Medicine for the Earth, and Healing with Spiritual Light.

        This course also serves as a prerequisite for my trainings in plant communication, land healing, energy hygiene and psychic protection, depossession, and more.

      • I likely will not be offering an in-person version of this course again until 2026, so if you’re interested now is the time to join us!

      • I've already made this course super affordable for what you get, so I’m unable to offer scholarships.

        If this isn’t within your means at this time, consider the online version, which will have a sliding scale.

      • Full refunds will be given, minus a $25 administration fee, for cancellations before February 11th. After that, 50% refunds will be given until March 11th. After March 11th, no refunds are available.

        Last-minute cancellations due to illness, travel conflicts, and other emergencies will not be refunded, but you will be given a complementary spot in the online version of this course taking place in May.

      We acknowledge that this workshop takes place on land ceded under pressure to Oregon Territory in the Treaty of 1855 by Paiute, Wasco, and Warm Springs tribal chiefs. May our work be in service to the benevolent beings who still tend this sacred land.
