Brant Secunda
Shaman • Healer • Ceremonial Leader
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.
Join one of our programs to inherit the ancient wisdom teachings shared with Brant and to explore the practices of pilgrimage, ceremony, and healing.
Connect With Nature
Shamanic teachings guide us on a path to sustainable harmony with not only all humans, but with 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 with daily practices and ceremonial experiences. Allow your soul to merge with the universe.
Unify Your Life
Harmony is inherent to nature and thus 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.

Types of Programs
Seminars
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.
Seminars Offer:
- 1-day to explore Huichol Shamanism, as taught by a world renowned teacher
- Specific teachings and tools to integrate into daily life
- Teachings of shamanic health and healing
- Spiritual exercises to rejuvenate the mind and awaken the soul
- Sacred Dance of the Deer ceremony to honor all of creation
Workshops
Our workshops range from 2–3 days and provide valuable shamanic tools to deepen your relationship with yourself, others and the environment. Each day is rich with informative lectures, providing detailed teachings about shamanic practice and direction on how to integrate shamanism into a modern lifestyle.
Workshops are another wonderful way to begin your shamanic journey and equally beneficial for those seeking to take another step forward on the shamanic path. Learn practical ways to deal with stress and negativity. Better understand your connection to nature and how you can strengthen that connection. Through this experience, you will expand your awareness of the spiritual essence of life and further awaken yourself to sacred indigenous knowledge.
Our Workshops Offer:
- An opportunity to learn spiritual tools to create inner balance and harmony
- Time to dedicate to personal spiritual growth
- An overview of various shamanic concepts and specific in-depth teachings
- Exhibitions of beautiful and authentic Huichol visionary artwork
- Insight into the Huichol culture through storytelling, dance, and slideshows
Retreats
Immerse yourself in the teachings and daily spiritual practices of shamanism. Our retreats range from 2 nights to 2 weeks and are the best way to gain a deeper connection to nature through daily shamanic practice. Each day is interwoven with spiritual practice, sacred ceremony, traditional pilgrimage, and lectures on the ancient teachings of healing and Huichol cosmology.
Join us for a retreat to learn how to create a life of natural health and harmony. Ancient indigenous wisdom guides the retreat experience, manifesting a unique mix of village lifestyle and powerful pilgrimages and ceremonies. The retreat experience provides a template for shamanic practice in your daily life. By the end of a retreat, you will gain an understanding of how to integrate shamanism into all that is you. Each retreat location is carefully chosen for its unique natural environment and kakuyari — places of power.
Our Retreats Offer:
- In-depth experience of shamanism and a routine for daily shamanic life
- A way to deepen your understanding of shamanic wisdom
- Opportunities to visit spectacular places in nature and to connect with these places in a spiritual way
- Ceremonies, including the Dance of the Deer ceremony, to empower yourself, your community and Mother Earth
- An escape from the hectic and often disconnected modern world
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
Intensive Study
For those looking to intensify their study of shamanism, we offer advanced study groups in the United States and Europe. Our East Coast, West Coast, and European study groups each meet 2–4 times each year in various locations. We have met in places such as Alaska, Sedona, Cape Cod, Florida, Hawaii, Mt. Shasta, Allgäu, Crete, Zion National Park and more.
The Advanced Study Groups are for those wanting to commit to the shamanic path and embrace the ancient Huichol culture as their own. Many members have been a part of this community for over 30 years, while others are constantly joining. It is recommended to first participate in a number of workshops and seminars before exploring options within our Advanced Study community.
