“Cara’s Introduction to Shamanism course was a precious and life changing gift.  I’ve always been drawn to ritual and aware of how much nature feeds my soul ~ and now I am able to weave the two together and connect on a much deeper level.  Her teachings have magically reframed the way I interact with nature and spirit.  Cara created a safe and interactive space for us and encouraged us to share, witness and support one another.  Cara’s teaching style is one of gentle guidance and co-exploration coupled with a more traditional sharing of wisdom.  Her love for the Shamanic way is palpable and I am so very grateful to have met and worked with Cara.” ~Elke 

“Through Cara’s guidance and teaching in Intro to Celtic Shamanism, the web of life truly came alive in my life. As she led the class into the different directions of the Celtic Spirit Wheel, wisdom, magic, and attunement with potent things within, was found. Between each week’s class, synchronicities flooded my environment from what I’d just incorporated through journeys and wisdom offered. In class, safe space was always cultivate and held for sharing and intimately vibrant energy was found. Cara is soft and strong all at once, a great leader, open to each heart in her care. I give this class my highest recommendation.” - Allie Kesler

"Cara is an extremely gifted and talented practitioner and teacher. I had never journeyed before and being led by her into the realms created amazing openings to new visions which provided awe, insight and self reflection. " LE

"Cara’s introduction to Shamanism class is utterly profound and beautiful! As a beginner to Journeying this class was incredible - I came away from each class with deeper reflection, experience and practices. Cara holds sacred space, guides with a light touch and teaches with wisdom and grace. I will most definitely be continuing to study with Cara." S. Schubert

“I recently took Cara’s course: Introduction to Celtic Shamanism. Being a novice I was looking for a place to begin my learning and found it! Cara beautifully holds space for you as she guides you through the course. I came away feeling more enlightened and more curious- a win, win! Highly recommend classes and readings with Cara. She is a lovely, intuitive soul.” Heather S

"I really enjoyed the (Intro to Celtic Shamanism) course! I had some experience in shamanic healing work before, and with my ancestral background connected to Ireland, I was very excited to delve into learning and exploring more about Celtic spirituality. I particularly enjoyed hearing about Cara's personal spiritual journey in Ireland, and the photos she shared from there. I've always wanted to go to Ireland and now I know I must go and connect with some of these sacred sites myself. Cara is a wonderful teacher. She brings a peaceful and accepting demeanor to her students and teaches in a way that's easy to understand for beginners to the shamanic journeying experience, and to learning about the directions, elements and animal symbolism. I was pleasantly surprised how easily and powerfully I delved right back into shamanic journeying after taking a break from it for about 7 years. I learned so much about myself. I was able to dive deep, and some profound healing visions and messages were revealed to me. And all of this "virtually", as the classes were held on Zoom! It just goes to show that Cara created a powerful and protective healing space for me and the other participants. Thanks again Cara! I would definitely take more courses with you in the future."

“Immersing into the Celtic Medicine Wheel with Cara is a transformative experience. This course established a deep spiritual connection not only with my Celtic roots, but with nature and my personal power. Cara's expansive way of seeing the world opened my eyes to the magical in the (seemingly) mundane. As a shaman, Cara brings relatable wisdom, practical tools, patience, and even play to her teachings. The Celtic Medicine Wheel experience has helped me to enhance my intuitive skills, deepen my practice, and empowered me to step further into my role as an energy healer.” Mollie
