The reason we need spiritual teachers is because the eye cannot see itself, it needs a reflection

Homelands PowWow - Oct 4 & 5, 2025
(Please read my July Blog for the full story on how this Powwow came to be!)
Lighting the Fire: The First Homelands PowWow
​
The Homelands PowWow is a new gathering held on the ancestral homelands of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians, in the heart of the Berkshire region of Western New England. In this inaugural year, we are focused on building relationships with regional Indigenous communities and local neighbors and laying a strong foundation for a celebration that will grow over time.
​
Our mission is to honor and reconnect the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican people with their ancestral lands. Through the annual organization of this PowWow, we raise funds to support travel and lodging for tribal members who wish to return to these sacred homelands. Rooted in tradition, community, and cultural resilience, our work helps ensure that the connection between the Mohican people and their lands endures for generations to come.
​
I am on the Board of Directors of this Massachusetts-based nonprofit, a recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organization. While we do not speak on behalf of the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribal Council or represent the Tribe, we are deeply honored to help create a space for connection, culture, and healing in the homelands for our community.

DRUM CIRCLES!
​Considered by many to be the heartbeat of Mother Earth, the pulsing rhythm of the drum in its simplest form is a natural stress reliever as it shakes off the energetic 'stuff' that we've picked up along the way. It doesn't take long before we exhale and begin to notice the amazing change in our energy field. The rhythmic beat of the drum naturally quiets the left brain enabling the right brain to roam in a more creative space. When we open up to these vibrational sounds, we open the door for deep insight, healing and relaxation to occur. As we blend and build our unique rhythms into the circle, we let go even more, tapping into intentions, sharing wisdom reflections and surrendering into the healing rhythms of the drum. Intention is everything! When added to the lunar cycles of the Moon, shift really happens... ​
​
No experience necessary!​​

RATTLE MAKING WORKSHOP
** This class has completed. Please reach out with any interest for the next one!
This offering is an opportunity to create your own shamanic style Medicine Rattle. In
shamanic practice, Rattles are used to shatter existing energy patterns so that a new,
higher vibration may be established. Often used at the start of a session, practitioners
might walk around a room, person or home to break up and clear the space before they begin. Rattles are a great helper to quiet the mind when you just need to come
unplugged for a minute. Creating your own “medicine rattle” allows you to set an
intention for its use and invites you to add in any *special crystals or stones that may
assist you vibrationally.
​
The class begins and ends in ceremonial way , acknowledging gratitude to our newfound Spirit Helpers and all the sacred components that will make up our Rattles. The intention and energy builds during the creation process alongside us, as we connect in spirit and with each other’s “good medicine” reflections as well. ​Day One begins the rattle process. We will lace them together and fill them with sand to hang overnight so the skin can dry.
Day Two completes the process as we put our rattles together by adding filling and
securing our sticks inside.
​
We close the two day process with a Sage and Tobacco offering as we awaken our newly created shamanic helper, the Medicine Rattle! ​ All supplies included and no experience necessary!​

DRUM MAKING WORKSHOP
** This workshop has completed. Please lmk your interest as most classes are scheduled on demand! **
This all day event is an opportunity to create your own 14" drum. Often called a "buffalo drum", the skin choice is yours based on availability at the time of order (for example Buffalo, Deer, Horse, Cow, Elk) The skins are pre-cut with holes already punched for ease in the creation process. After putting a clear coat finish on the inside of the rim, you may choose to write prayers, designs or inscriptions inside before lacing with additional options to place a few of your favorite crystal points into the sides of the skins! You will make a drum beater as well.
We begin and close the day in sacred way, acknowledging gratitude to our Spirit Helpers and all the sacred components that make up our new drum. We take time to journal our thoughts and intentions as we pull a few oracle cards for reflection. Instructions, Sage and Tobacco are included for a Drum Awakening Ceremony, info on how to care for your drum as well as a handout with metaphysical insight of your personal drum skin choice.
​
Make your drum for free if you host the workshop!​​

First Degree Reiki Certification
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is an ancient Japanese form of energy healing that promotes stress reduction, relaxation and healing.
​
Rei = divine Ki = life force energy
​
This two day class will help remind you of your own divine nature and offer the reflection of a higher vibrational way of being. By opening these energetic pathways within our mind/body system, we also connect deeper in consciousness as we expand and invite universal life force energy to flow through us.
Healing is about restoring balance and happens in many ways. Reiki is a powerful addition to our spiritual toolbox and can be instrumental not only for assisting others with their healing, but to your own personal journey as well. Within this 8 hour class we will learn about the history of Reiki and the basics of the energy body/chakras as well as how to do a self healing and if one is led to work on others, the hand positions for that session as well.
​
​No experience necessary!
​
If you have been drawn to experience reiki and wish to be attuned to this energy, this class is for you!​
​
You will receive a First Degree Practitioner Certificate upon completion.​​
​
​Gather a few like minded friends and make it a day to remember!

Intro to Shamanism, Power Animals & the Shamanic Journey
This one day experiential offering introduces the seeker to the basic "what, when, where, who's and how's" of Shamanism, Power Animals and the Shamanic Journey; a drug free altered state of awareness that anyone can learn. During the course of the day you will meet (or re-meet) your power animal and experience the shamanic journey in three different ways; each bringing specific insights and guidance just for you.
​
Did you know everyone has a power animal? All that is needed is your imagination as we cross this bridge to non-ordinary reality where extraordinary insights, healing and guidance can be found. Shamanic journeying is a powerful practice to add to your spiritual toolbox.
No experience necessary!

REIKI SHAMANISM WORKSHOP
This two day offering is geared for those who are already familiar with the Shamanic Journey and comfortable with any level of their Reiki practice.
“Reiki Shamanism” is an experiential workshop that combines both modalities for a more cohesive shamanic perspective and healing practice.
Reiki is widely known as an ancient Japanese healing practice yet it truly is but a chapter in the greater shamanic handbook.
Shamanism is as ancient as time itself and reflects a path of knowledge that is experiential in nature. When combined, a more potent energy healing practice emerges that not only advances ones spiritual toolbox but engages higher wisdom and reflection from power animals and guides who reside in this timeless spirit realm of non-ordinary reality.
These compassionate beings are ready to assist us as we journey across time and space to seek metaphysical wisdom at a moment in time so critical for us Light Workers today.
We will go on multiple journeys over the course of the weekend to learn how to integrate this work within the non-ordinary worlds.​​​

"SHAMANIC HELPERS" WORKSHOP
This one of a kind, two day offering is unique to me; based on the many sacred practices I experienced during my 7 year shamanic apprenticeship and journey as a Bear Dancer with the MS Bear Society.
​
Those of us who view the world through "shamanic" eyes know that everything in nature has a SPIRIT. This two day, seven part workshop will introduce you (or re-introduce you) to the many shamanic helpers who are ready to assist us on our earthly journey with their own unique insight and guidance.
​
These hands-on teachings includes reflections from:
The Winged Ones - Our Feathered Friends
The Stone People - Rock Divination
Plant People/Standing Ones - Sacred Smudge and Tree Wisdom
Power Animals- Our Totem Helpers
Rattles and Drums - The Power of Vibration
Medicine Wheel - The Power of Direction
Creating Sacred Space and Everyday Ceremony - Bringing it all together into your spiritual toolbox to create every day sacred space and any day ceremony
​
(Comments from a previous seeker - "Grace has a warm, mama bear presence that eases any anticipatory nerves about diving deep into the shamanic world. She shares many of her experiences and wisdom through storytelling and engaging her students. In our two day Shamanic Helpers class, I felt captivated by the profound, yet simple way we can invite spirit into our lives and healing work as we explored the ways that the animals, birds, plants, trees, the elements, the stars, sound tools, the medicine wheel and even ROCKS can enhance our spiritual toolbox. As an energy practitioner, these teachings are so sacred in infusing how and what I share with myself and others to align into our highest selves on this earth")​
