People can stay over there by reserving a space at Sirius.

The Medicine way is to give tobacco to your teacher. I ask for this with a letter of why you wish to study with me. This will be on the alter for the entire nine months.
You will need to have an interview with me and then pay a $300 deposit that goes towards the last weekend.  You will pay when you come to class. Checks, cash or Venmo or Pay Pal please.

This is a personal journey of studying in a small group with a medicine elder who has been teaching and in private practice for over 40 years. Class will be limited to 12-14 students.

Our prayer Despacho. We will do this in class!

I ask that each student makes a commitment to be there for each class. The energy within the circle will be sacred and we will go deep with our work.

All students will have a personal connection to Rose. If they are interested in apprenticing, they will need to write a letter of intention along with tobacco .

First Class: Sept. 14th, 15th  The Sacred Medicine Wheel and The Red Road

This weekend is the foundation of the training. We will learn how to journey with the drum, how to set up and alter, and the teachings of the Guardians of the Eleven directions taught by the elders of the First Nation.

This first month we will learn the Medicine Wheel and the Addiction Wheel which is the human struggles of walking the sacred path. The amazing awareness is that within each Lodge is the opportunity for healing any trauma by simply being open to change, transformation and forgiveness.

Third Class, 2025 Jan. 18th, 19th Clearing and Healing the Body: As a healer we need to be able to see energy blocks in the body and etheric fields and have the tools to clear them.

Seventh Class : Sept. 13th, 14th:Deposession : We will spend the weekend learning how to work with a client who has various levels of possession, which is a deep layer of energy blockage that has overtaken their system. This is very powerful work and we will learn how to release lost souls that become attached to someone, using psychopomp and prayers.

Eight Class: :Nov. 14th, 15th  Soul Retrieval: When one experienced trauma a part of the soul can fragment. This is called soul loss. This weekend we will learn how to bring back lost soul parts so the person can be whole. This topic is extended into the next weekend also.

Ninth Class: The Munay Ki Sacred Rites: 2026 Jan. 17th, 18th. and GRADUATION CEREMONY!!! I love to teach this at the end of the training. It is like the icing on the cake! The teachings come from the Quechua People of Peru. They are nine and a thirteenth transmission of light that supports empowerment and incredible healing for the heart and soul. It will be my way of bringing some of the “medicine” of Peru to you. And, these rites are to be SHARED with others.

Testimonial

I’ve always been drawn to Native teachings and feel more peaceful when in nature. While contemplating whether to take the Shamanic Apprenticeship Training taught by Rose, a good friend who had already taken the course said to me, “it will change your life.” As my friend is retired Army and gives good sound advice, I thought, why not? I’m sure I’ll learn something new and interesting. What an understatement! It’s hard to put into words everything I learned and gained from the training. However, I can say, it did change my life!! My relationships with: people, animals, nature, Spirit, and especially myself are fuller, more enhanced, peaceful, and enjoyable. I will forever be grateful for Rose’s wisdom, teachings, friendship and love which helped to instill a renewed appreciation for each day I walk my journey.
