November 12th - 16th 

Santa Fe, NM

Are you holding medicine space for others, or exploring your own practice? 

 

Do you feel a deep calling to up-level your skill sets, enhance your gifts, and practice new ways of engaging in the healing and spiritual potential of medicine work?

 

Are you looking to expand your knowledge of how to offer hands-on healing work in medicine space?

 

Do you want to learn how to work with guides, develop your channeling abilities, and explore your relationship with the unseen realms?


Do you want to learn more tools for nervous system repair, trauma healing, and expand your toolbox of integration practices for clients?

 

Are you ready to build your capacity, energetic power, resiliency, and abilities to meet your healing work in even more alignment, integrity, and confidence?

 

Are you desiring to stoke your fire with a nurturing community experience?

 

This work is being done by many who relate to it as just another tool, or even as just a way to increase their income by working with a popular new trend. You see this as a sacred path of self-discovery and mastery. You know you have more to explore, and you are ready to become the embodiment of carrying medicine. 

 

In this profound four-day retreat with ceremony, you'll be guided through self-healing practices, connection with your guides, and methodologies and protocols for deep healing. You will have space for your own personal process, community reflection, and practicing new techniques to enhance your work. 

 

This container will activate and fortify you as a vessel for transformative healing work.

 

About Carrying Medicine

 

Carrying Medicine is a body of work built for healers, medicine people, and spiritual practitioners who are ready to embody their gifts and offer them with skill, power, and integrity. It lives as an upcoming podcast exploring what it means to carry medicine, in yourself and in your work with others, and as a series of medicine training retreats held with different medicine carriers so you can focus on different aspects of this sacred work.

 

At each retreat, I bring my core teachings in animistic spiritual development, somatic integration, healing skill training, and energetic mastery. Alongside me is a medicine carrier whose specific lineage, methodology, and spirit relationships bring something this training couldn't offer on its own. This retreat is held in partnership with Jonathon Burt, whose years of work with mushroom medicine and curanderismo shape the facilitation training you'll receive here. Read more about Jonathan and his work below.

What You Receive

 

Central Teachings of Animistic Spiritual Development, Shamanic Practice, Somatic Integration, and Energetic Capacity

You will be guided through core concepts like cultivating discernment, channeling spirit guides, developing energetic mastery, and creating an authentic healing modality fully aligned with your unique medicine in collaboration with medicine spirit. You'll gain a holistic understanding of what is required to thrive as a grounded, ethical healer during these transformative times.

 

Sacred Medicine Facilitation Training and Hands-On Healing
Explore healing through the traditions of curanderismo and underground ceremonial practice as they apply to facilitating others through medicine journeys. You'll learn how to build a respectful, reciprocal relationship with the medicine itself, create intentional ceremonial containers, recognize energetic dynamics as they move through a space, and support somatic release using bodywork and sound as therapeutic tools. This training centers safety, presence, discernment, and the boundaries required to hold others well.

 

Community Discussions & Transmissions
One of the biggest pitfalls for healers is trying to navigate the path alone. In this retreat, you'll be embraced by aligned community. Together, you'll explore what it truly means to embody the role of healer and how you can support each other's exponential growth. We will have important discussions about spiritual awakenings, mediumship in medicine, what to do with unexpected experiences and reactions, and how to navigate the development of your gifts, abilities, and sensitivities. We will bring through transmissions from our guides to support your process.

 

Experience Foundational Practices

This isn't just philosophy - it's living, embodied experience. You will be guided through fundamental energetic practices, somatic exercises, and meditations to attune you to the frequencies needed for your sacred work. You'll learn techniques to expand your intuition, set healthy boundaries, and avoid energy depletion.

 

Integration Support That Extends Beyond the Retreat

Healing doesn't end when the ceremony does. This retreat is built around a full arc of preparation, immersion, and integration, so what moves through you here has somewhere to land when you go home. See the Calls & Integration section below for the full structure.

 

A Rare Opportunity on Sacred Land

This retreat will be held at a stunning spiritual retreat center in Santa Fe, NM, set among breathtaking forests, beautiful art, and ceremonial spaces. The powerful energy on this land is the perfect place to dive into the teachings and activate your role as a medicine carrier to an entirely new level.

Our Retreat Space

Our retreat is held high in the Sangre de Cristo foothills, located just off the Old Santa Fe Trail, twelve minutes from the Plaza in the center of Santa Fe. The property is on twenty private acres.

 

The home was originally designed & constructed by a direct descendant of the daughter of Emperor Akbar of India (1542 – 1605), sister to Shah Jahan who built the Taj Mahal. Its architecture is quite unique, being a fusion of US southwestern construction materials and Asian design. This is a truly spatial space for this type of work, with impeccable attention given to its energy.

You will have plenty of room to hike about or to go to town. We are very close to the famous Canyon Road art district, the historical center of Santa Fe, and the museum district. There will be time during our retreat for rest and a bit of exploring, including some meals on your own to indulge in the delicious New Mexican offerings.

 

A hot tub and sauna will be available for you to enjoy.

 

This space will renew your spirit and hold your transformation.
