Somatic Shamanism

What it is: Somatic Shamanism is a 12 week course that combines foundational practices from Andean shamanism with deep somatic practices rooted in teachings from leaders in the field of modern somatic therapy. Our existence in this human form is a collaboration between our body, mind, and soul. For most of recorded history, spirituality has focused primarily on the spirit or soul and the mind or wisdom teachings. The part of this existence that we haven't integrated, and many times have even been taught to disregard or transcended, is the body. Some spiritual teachings even treat the body like a prison. You may hear people refer to it as a skin suit we are temporarily wearing. While there is an element of truth to this, we must understand that this body and this life is a beautiful gift, and that working within the denseness of this physicality can create profound energetic shifts at all levels of existence. Somatic Shamanism was created with the belief that our bodies hold an important key to the lessons we incarnate to learn on this planet, and that when we learn to collaborate with them in a good and respectful way that our individual and collective realities will undergo a massive shift. This course provides tools that will enable us to become aware of, take responsibility for, and shift the subconscious beliefs of our mind as well as learn to hold space for the full spectrum of human emotions in the body without repression or judgment. As we move through the course, implementing these rituals and teachings, the shifts in our mind and body will naturally magnetize a higher level of conscious awareness into our bodies. Over time, and with commitment, this divine love union of body, mind, and soul will allow us to step into our natural role as conscious creators of our reality, living in harmony with this earth. This course is not a quick fix for all of life's problems. While you will be provided with tools to better understand and work with all body, mind, and soul aspects of self, it is important to understand that this work is relational. Like all relationships, this is the work of a lifetime. There is no end to it. However, the teachings you will receive are timeless. They are meant to be practiced over and over again, and the more you practice, the more your reality will begin to shift. What's Included: This 12 week course is a combination of live calls, pre-recorded practices, and written handouts. We will have 12 live weekly calls focused on teachings and practices, and 6 live bi-weekly Q&A plus integration calls for a total of 18 live calls over the 12 weeks. Each call will be approximately 90 minutes in length. All calls will be recorded and lifetime access to the recordings will be provided. Lifetime access to all pre-recorded practices and written handouts will also be provided. Much of this work is relational, and connection with others who are on the same path is incredibly important. While we encourage all participants to attend the live calls, we understand that life is busy and many of us have outstanding commitments that my prevent us from attending all classes live. Therefore, we will also have a private Telegram chat for the group to connect, ask questions, and share experiences. This chat will live on beyond the 12 weeks for those who would like to continue to stay connected with the community. Energy Exchange: We request a sacred reciprocity $1222 for this course. This exchange includes 18 live calls over 12 weeks, as well as lifetime access to the recordings of these calls. You will also receive in downloadable format recordings of the somatic practices taught in the course, as well as written handouts that accompany the course material.

She works with sacred plant medicines, sound healing, and teaches deep somatic practices to help integrate and ground higher states of conscious awareness into the physical body with the goal of creating a state of alignment and flow between body, mind, and spirit. Emeline was initially called to the path of sacred plant medicines and somatic therapy to heal physical and psychological ailments brought on by unprocessed childhood trauma that led to deep emotional suppression and disconnection from self. She provides a safe and nurturing space for all who are processing personal, ancestral, and collective trauma, and is dedicated to making the same level of healing and self-discovery she has received available to others. Emeline practices and teaches Q'ero Andean shamanism and has been initiated as Pampamessayoc in this lineage. Her practices are also deeply rooted in the codes of the Rose and she has received priestess training in Venusian Temple Arts from the Rose Lineage. Her somatic practices stem from the teachings of Peter Levine, Gabor Maté, Irene Lyon, and others. Additionally, she has an extensive background in science and biotech and holds a Ph.D. in Genetics and Neurodevelopment from Baylor College of Medicine. She has a passion for understanding more deeply the truth of our existence and the natural order of life on this planet and beyond. This background informs Emeline's work with others in a way that brings the structure of intellectual thinking into union with the intuition of feeling. She is dedicated to empowering each individual she works with through facilitating the inner divine union of the duality of our human existence to cultivate connection and flow with the One. Through connection to divine source Love, Emeline holds a space for safe exploration and integration of both light and dark inner aspects while providing resources to enable the conscious choice of desired reality. It is her ultimate goal to help others discover and embody their own unique personal power in a way that is in alignment with the highest good of themselves and all beings.

Sonia Marie Salas · Somatic and Entheogenic Healing Practitioner

Sonia embodies the essence of the creative mother, balancing loving softness with a graceful strength. Her powerful presence inspires and empowers others to step into their full potential, through vibrant authenticity and awakening to the expansive joy of the heart. Sonia was first called to plant medicine while seeking guidance navigating the mental chaos and external losses resulting from the end of a traumatic relationship. She discovered through plant medicine and the wisdom of her own body that this internal suffering was part of deep ancestral roots and layers of trauma stemming from childhood. Sonia is initiated as a Paqo in the Q’ero Andean shamanic lineage. Aligning with the teachings of this lineage, she believes in creating balance and harmony amongst individuals, families, animals, the community and the universe. She is a practitioner of Kriya breathwork and guides groups with the breath to attain an experience of oneness. Sonia also weaves Somatic Integrative Embodiment, Feminine Mysteries, and Sacred Sexuality practices into her work, following the teachings of the Venusian Priestess Path. Through these practices she helps others to heal deeply through the body rather than the mind, recognizing that to expand and evolve we must build our capacity to hold with love and acceptance the entire spectrum of polarity - both the shadow and the light. Her teachings guide the mind to stillness and open the heart to embody the frequency of its truest desires. Equus energy coaching is a core pillar of Sonia’s work, utilizing dynamic partnerships with horses to create a playful, open, and authentic environment that facilitates dramatic enhancement of self-awareness. This work leverages the natural groundedness and embodiment of horses to mirror our own vibration, allowing a deeper connection to felt sensations and emotional states. She facilitates these practices with the intention of enabling others to create more access to personal power, a deeper trust in knowing of self, and a deeper sense of self-love and safety. Sonia is devoted to her soul’s purpose of service and embodying her soul’s true frequency of authenticity and love. Her mission as a facilitator and space holder is to bring gentleness, safety, kindness and support with humility. Her wish is to assist others in their healing process through facilitating attunement to their own body’s wisdom to co-create a life of love, abundance, beauty and magic!
