Community and Connection Retreat

Come explore, dig deep into your own healing in the beautiful mountains of Asheville, North Carolina

Join me for a ceremonial weekend that is steeped in deep spiritual work with heart medicine and teacher medicine. Dive deep into your own consciousness and be able to explore the healing properties of these sacred medicines in a safe and supportive environment amongst a loving community of fellow travellers. 

The focus of the retreat is on personal growth, self-discovery, and spiritual awakening while being held in the sacred container of community. Community and connection is the theme for our time together, as I believe this is where the deepest alchemy happens. 

Participants are encouraged to connect with themselves and with their fellow journeyers, while also being invited to tap into the natural world to release negative emotions, beliefs and tap into the power of healing. While medicine retreats can be intense and challenging, they offer a powerful opportunity for transformation and healing. 

This retreat includes a preparation session where I help you to get clear on your intentions for this work. Along with the ceremony, an integration session is part of the package to help you find themes around your experience and to help you activate your new way of being in the world.

Beginners to advanced are welcome!

  • Better attune to your needs and desires as you connect to yourself and community

  • Create deeper, longer lasting, more trusting relationships

  • Feel more grounded, centred and living on purpose

  • Expand your ability to connect to and heal the heart while grounding in the body

Myself and Sky Temple would like to invite you to dive deep into the healing web of connection atop the Blue Ridge mountain overlooking the French Broad River Valley. Sky Temple offers a sacred Sunwheel, marking the cardinal directions where we will do most of our work, as it  gently offers direction into your deepest healing. 

This experience is an inward journey, with the support of myself and 2 other experienced guides assisting with the opportunity to connect with other travellers on the descent and snack time afterwards.

Success Stories

  • “Shane has a level of expertise and brilliance that is beyond what the average guide can offer – spirit runs through him, he sees and feels what others don’t have the senses for. His diverse background helps him to provide just the right guidance, in the right way, at the right time. There have been so many times when I have needed “something”, not knowing what that was and Shane had the perfect “gift” for me in that moment to continue.”

    — Laura Schneider

  • “I have found a trustworthy, compassionate and nurturing teacher and a safe container for the healing.....Working with him both individually and in group journeys has been a powerful catalyst for clearing and putting down the weight of old patterns related to personal, cultural and religious trauma. This has made space for healing energy that is creating exciting and expansive new pathways within and without..... I am beyond grateful for Shane’s wisdom, passion and integrity as we continue our work together.”
