Join Brant Secunda and experience the wonder and power of Huichol Shamanism, ceremonial celebration and healing.
Participate in a Dance of the Deer ceremony to honor the spirit of autumn and go on a pilgrimage to offer prayers for ourselves and our world. Learn practices of shamanic health and healing, the use of dreams to guide and empower your life and how to connect with the power of nature.
The Huichol tradition invites us to discover the ancient wisdom each of us carries within our hearts. Explore the healing medicine of Huichol Shamanism and fulfill your dreams and visions.
During your time with Brant he will share tools and practices to help you relieve stress, let go of patterns and emotions that have held you back and help you embark on a new vision for your life filled with purpose, power and hope. Brant Secunda will guide you to purify and brighten your heart, spirit and life through shamanic explorations of health and healing. The shamanic circle embraces us, unifying our lives with strength, healing and love.
 "Huichol Shamanism has opened my life, and my children’s life, to the world of nature in a manner that I could never have imagined. I always wanted to find a path that gave me an ancient indigenous method to honor nature and the elemental powers, to teach me how to live as a human being on Mother Earth. The Huichol way resonates with me because it is a path of the heart." - Steffanie White |
