Shamanic Medicine Ceremony or Retreat (Personal/Corporate)

I am so eager to welcome you home to the sacred redwood forest & land for an amazing weekend (or day) of ceremony and spiritual connection! At my mountaintop home in the redwood forest one hour north of San Francisco, you will be anchored into the tranquility of a beautiful energy vortex. If you are committed to deepening your relationship with Spirit, and ready to be initiated into spiritual ceremony, including an authentic traditional vision quest experience, then read on.... I have devoted my life to serving Spirit - and that has included 20+ years of shamanic experience and ceremonial preparation to practice the medicine ways of our ancestors. And now the time has come to share that wisdom with you in a 1:1 ceremonial experience which will prepare you for a life of deeper meaning, connection, Service to Spirit, and Joy. On your chosen weekend dates (friday through Sunday) in August, Sept, or October 2026, I will welcome you into my home, on multiple acres of tranquil land for a weekend of magic and connection. In addition to the magic that comes from deep personal connection, conversation, and ceremony - you will experience up to 3 days of deep union and communion with the Spirit realm (see exchange rates near the bottom of this page). The intention of the weekend is to engage you in practices and activities that will amplify your intuition, spiritual connection, and your ability to deeply TRUST it. After you initiate payment, you will share with me your intentions, we will work together, prior to your arrival, to prepare you both energetically and logistically. There will be practices that I, and Spirit, will ask you to engage in prior to your arrival, so that the Spirit realm can 'reach' you more easily once you arrive on the land. On the Friday morning of your arrival at my home in Woodacre, CA, one hour north of San Francisco, we will explore the beautiful, sacred, and ancient redwood forests and oceans for a full day of spiritual ceremony. The redwoods offer an amplifying effect on your ability to receive strong and clear messages from your intuition, and from Spirit. I will tailor our sites to your ability to walk and hike. If you prefer shorter routes, we can arrange that! With a little bit of mystical morning fog and mid-day sunshine, I will be taking you through valleys, forests, and beaches that are not only spectacularly beautiful, but carry the energetic echoes and imprints from our indigenous ancestors. You will literally FEEL their presence. On day 2 (Saturday), we will spend the whole day in a vision quest experience on the land that will be the capstone experience of your time here, and perhaps even one of the capstone experiences of your life. During vision quest experiences, the energy, time, and money that you spend in preparation comes back to you tenfold. Day 3, a half day on Sunday - will be spent in a fun and joyous ceremony, often a community ceremony, that will get your body moving, and your mind and spirit aligned. Sometimes we can schedule your vision quest to include a traditional Native American Sweat Lodge ceremony (inipi). Let me know if that is of interest to you. You can expect to have experiences of deep synchronicity, waking visions, enhanced psychic perception, and very likely outright Spirit contact from loved ones, guides, and ancestors. That's the intention, and of course, how the experience actually unfolds is dependent upon what you NEED, not necessarily what you want. We humble ourselves deeply to the Spirit world during experiences like this, and that humility is a transcendent experience in and of itself. After the weekend, you will come away relaxed, refreshed, and more connected to the Source of your existence, with less worry and monkey-mind. Because of your preparation and your commitment, you will experience unconditional love and acceptance for yourself. A warm blanket of comfort and love is what we will co-create together, and I look forward to receiving your application, and potentially welcoming you into my home so that you can FEEL at home in your human body and existence. With love, devotion, prayer and gratitude for you, Michael ---------------- "My individual retreat with Michael was truly beyond words—an experience that felt incredible, amazing, and genuinely life-changing. Honestly, it defies explanation. This retreat shifted my perspective from constant self-doubt to a deep sense of trust and acceptance . Michael’s compassionate listening made me feel completely at ease. His remarkable intuition and expertise guided me through a profound healing process. I plan to continue working with Michael as I embark on this new journey to live my true calling." - Charlene, Minnesota Dr. Michael Smith i
