Soul Return

Step into a profound journey of self-discovery and transformation with 'Aquarian Shaman: Soul Return,' a unique course inspired by Star Wolf's 13th book, 'The Aquarian Shaman.'

With over 40 years of experience in shamanic healing and spiritual exploration, Star Wolf personally leads this immersive seven-day intensive, delving deep into the teachings of her lineage, including the Wolf clan, Egyptian mysteries, and soul retrieval practices. Located amidst the serene beauty of Dove Mountain, where Venus Rising elemental temples reside, this event offers a sacred space for healing and growth.

Participants will experience daily teachings, rituals, and ceremonies designed to facilitate soul retrieval—guiding them to reclaim lost aspects of themselves and release energies that no longer serve their highest good. Throughout the week, Star Wolf will interweave ancient wisdom with modern techniques, creating a transformative experience that aligns mind, body, and spirit. Shamanic journeying, energy work, and elemental practices will be applied, allowing participants to connect deeply with their inner selves and the natural world around them. Included in the event are nourishing lunches and dinners, fostering a supportive community atmosphere where participants can integrate their experiences and insights.

Whether you are new to shamanic practices or seeking to deepen your spiritual path, 'Aquarian Shaman: Soul Return' invites you to embark on a journey of profound healing, empowerment, and spiritual renewal. Join Star Wolf and fellow seekers on this transformative adventure, and discover the profound joy of reclaiming your true essence and embracing a life aligned with your soul's purpose.
