Aahara Spiritual Community

We just completed our Sacred Purpose Air initiation of the Shamanic Healing Initiatory Process (SHIP) with these beautiful authentic souls!  This completes our 13th year of offering SHIP here in the Heartland!

What a celebration! We acknowledged and celebrated nine graduates who completed the five initiations, for their deep dive into recovery and discovery of themselves!

We are incredible grateful for this work and for how lives are changed. We look forward to the next year when the SHIP series begins again in January 2027!

Congratulations to Shamanic, Usui, & Tibetan Level III/ART graduates Sara Ettinger, Jamie Stults, Dawn Cobb, Ida Piggot, Janice DiGirolamo, and Shamanic, Usui, & Tibetan Level I Practitioner Cathy Wells, and Shamanic, Usui, & Tibetan Level II Refresher Charnell Freeman. Special thanks to Shamanic, Usui, & Tibetan Reiki Practitioners Maggie Schaver, Lynsey Dunham, and Becky Wheeler for your assistance during this training.

A few comments about this training from the participants in their Class Review.....

"Amazing! Transformational"

"Fantastic, life-changing~only take if you want to feel a part of source and have a way of bringing that to earth experience"

"Just come and experience it for yourself. It is transformative."

"I would recommend learning Reiki I, II, & III from Carley. It is worth the time, money, and energy to invest in Reiki, especially when Carley teaches it."

Congratulations to these Shamanic, Usui, and Tibetan Reiki graduates!  It truly was a wonderful weekend and I’m so proud of these women!

Aahara’s Inner Beloved SHIP’s Big Picture Process! With every SHIP, we offer Shamanic Breathwork and with it comes an opportunity to do an art expression of one’s process, usually creating a mandala.

In the Big Picture Process, participants are invited to step into a bigger, more open and expansive reflection of their breathwork experience.

Coming from their right brained, experiential nature, they use a larger canvas with acrylic paint. It’s a dynamic work, expressing a higher perspective aspect of their experience in their breathwork.

We offer a processing experience after the Shamanic Breathwork, giving participants an opportunity to digest, process, and begin to integrate their experience. This includes exploring the symbolic meaning expressed in their big picture process.

Here are a few photos of some of the creative works from our Inner Beloved weekend

Our Inner Beloved Shamanic Healing initiatory Process, otherwise known as SHIP was a potent dive, connecting to the life force energy within each of us to fully shine our light and be our authentic self!

There's so much magic that happens when we gather together with intention, vulnerability, and heart as we connect with each other, the natural world and the cosmos.

Bringing it altogether, the dark and the light, the ease and the struggle, the beautiful and the messy, the pain and the ecstasy. It is all a part of this dynamic and beautiful human ride that we are on as we bring the divine more fully into human form.

I am incredibly proud of these human beings!

Our next SHIP is Sacred purpose! Coming September 2026.

We completed our Shadow SHIP (Shamanic Healing Initiatory Process) this weekend with these amazing human beings!

What a powerful and potent initiation… deep and profound work of recovery and discovery of the parts of ourselves we had to deny, protect, or bury because it was not safe to be who we were.

Our shadow indeed holds gold. In diving deep to meet these pieces, we recover the energy we have been using to keep them unconscious, thus finding more passion and purpose in our lives.

PS: We missed John, he was home recovering from a respiratory bug.

Shamanic Warriorship Path Praying Mantis Air Initiation..a deep dive and exploration in the Big Dance of Life. Powerful!
