SHAMANIC PROGRAMS TO EMPOWER YOUR LIFE

Connect with Nature

Shamanic teachings guide us on a path to sustainable harmony with not only all humans, but will each and every plant, animal and spiritual entity that is a part of our world.

Uplift Your Soul

Our programs guide you through the process of uplifting your soul through daily practices and ceremonial experiences. Allow your soul to merge with the universe.

Unify Your Life

Harmony is inherent to nature and thus also intrinsic to shamanism. Part of our life’s journey is to unify the 3 aspects of Body, Heart & Spirit. This unity allows us to function naturally.

Heal the World

Transform your actions in order to bring healing to yourself, your community and all that lives on Earth. In this way, each step you take on the path of life becomes a healing process.

Brant Secunda

Shaman & Healer

For over 35 years, world renowned shaman, healer and traditional ceremonial leader Brant Secunda has been leading programs around the globe. His teachings have helped thousands of people to connect with their inherent power and to walk a path of harmony, unifying soul and body.

Brant studied directly from the indigenous Huichol Indians, during an extensive 12-year apprenticeship with Don José Matsuwa, one of Mexico’s most famous healers and ceremonial leaders.

Join one of our programs to inherit the ancient wisdom teachings taught to Brant and to explore the practices of pilgrimage, ceremony and healing.

Seminars are a wonderful 1-day experience to connect with shamanism. You will gain a grounded understanding of what shamanism is and learn ancient tools to include in your daily life. These shorter events are also a wonderful way for those already on the shamanic path to reconnect with Brant Secunda and his teachings of Huichol culture.

During each seminar, Brant will present useful tools to embrace the spirit of nature and your inherent power as a human being. These teachings of Huichol Shamanism can provide you with a deeper understanding of the interwoven power of nature and can lead to a more fulfilling life. Seminars provide an opportunity to explore shamanism and Huichol culture in an easy-to-follow format integrated into a single day. Though seminars are shorter than many of our programs, they are a great way to take part in the shamanic circle.

Journeys

Each year we offer journeys through some of the most spectacular places around the globe. We have journeyed through amazing places — Guatemala, Japan and New Zealand — with each location offering an opportunity to explore the amazing beauty of Mother Earth like never before. Join Brant Secunda to explore nature and revered sacred places in a way unlike any other.

In Japan, we traveled through Kyoto, Nara, Tokyo, Mount Fuji and Wakayama. At each place we visited sacred sites revered for thousands of years and wandered to countless remote lakes, mountains, waterfalls and hot springs. In New Zealand, we journeyed throughout the North Island, to Auckland, the Coromandel Peninsula, Lake Rotorua, Lake Taupo, Mount Taranaki and the Waitomo Caves region. There we soaked in hot spring rivers and hot water beaches. We went on pilgrimage to the sacred lakes and mountains and performed ceremonies to honor and connect with the spirit of the Pacific Ocean and this wonderful land.

Each location is hand selected by Brant Secunda for each Journey. These are rare events so space is extremely limited. Keep an eye out for our next journey and join us for an experience that you will keep with you for the rest of your life.

Our Journeys Offer:

Unforgettable experiences in some of the most beautiful places on Earth
Opportunities to journey with a small community in a very spiritual way
A unique vacation experience for the mind and body like no other
Pilgrimages to numerous places of power to empower your life
Conversations with Brant and other participants, ranging from deep spiritual teachings to simple personal connections and openness

“Change starts with You.”

-Brant Secunda

“Why do I need to be in a workshop with a group of people to connect with nature and the earth around me? I don’t – but the group offers me the opening to learn, to be with a teacher who sends us out into nature with lessons on how to connect in a powerful way… My journey continues and within it I share my experiences with a group of individuals who are on their own path, all of us connecting and learning who we are, who we have been, and who we will always be. There is power in a group, a community.”

Darlene G.

“Brant has shown me the power of balance. He has brought hope to my life and trust in all of life to my heart. But the scope of his work goes well beyond just the person. Brant gives us all a chance to pray for the earth and all who live on her. And there is perhaps no more important time to do just that than right now!”

Mark A.

“We came to Alaska from the hustle and bustle of our life in Argentina. As soon as we put our feet on this beautiful land our anxiety and everything else faded away. The ceremonies opened our heart and soul like a flower blooming with the unstoppable force of nature. The eagles, the ocean, the glacier, the wisdom from Brant and his teachings and the great feeling of love between everyone…I cannot be more grateful for this amazing time and it will forever be engraved in my heart.”

Patricia P.

Crete is paradise on earth. The land is so alive, filled with wildflowers and herbs growing in mass profusion. Golden eagles soar overhead. The Dance of the Deer Center and ceremonial area overlook the turquoise waters of the Cove of the Sacred Healing Waters and the Mediterranean Sea. Brant Secunda’s ceremonies here are especially powerful, with the energy of all the groups he has led here over the years. I fell in love with the extraordinary beauty and feminine power of this land. An outrageous journey!
