THE CEREMONIAL YEAR
A Season of Ceremony, Ancestral Teachings & Community
September 2026 – May 2027
Mount Shasta, California
With Shimshai & Susana
For many years, the deepest part of our work has happened in person.
On the land and around the sacred fire, entering the Temazcal, building our altars with our own hands, raising our voices in song, joining our hearts in prayer, and sitting together in ceremony.
This is where we feel the teachings truly come alive.
For this next cycle, we are opening a new offering for our community: an opportunity to join us throughout the year for our live ceremonies, retreats and teachings, without committing to a weekly online program.
You do not need to have attended our School before.
You only need to feel called to come, participate and deepen your relationship with this work.

WE BEGIN WITH THE FOUR ALTARS
Four Altars Intensive Retreat
September 2026
We begin this cycle with one of the foundational teachings of our work:
Earth • Water • Fire • Air
This year, we want to bring these teachings fully back to the land.
We will build the altars together with our own hands, learn how to work with them, and accompany each teaching with prayer, practice and ceremony.
EARTH
The Earth Altar brings us back to our bodies, our roots, our ancestors and our relationship with the land.
We will explore grounding, belonging, lineage, offerings and the body as sacred territory.
WATER
The Water Altar invites us into our emotional and ancestral waters, the feminine, our families and what we may still be carrying from those who came before us.
We will work with prayer, purification and the healing of patterns we no longer want to continue carrying into future generations.
FIRE
The Fire Altar brings us into transformation.
What are we ready to release?
What are we ready to change?
What are we ready to offer to the fire?
We will work with intention, prayer, purification and our relationship with sacred fire.
AIR
The Air Altar brings us into breath, voice, prayer and sacred song.
We will explore the power of what we speak, what we sing, what we pray and what we send into the world through our breath and our words.
Throughout the retreat, we will build each altar together and experience these teachings through practice, Temazcal, ceremony, song and time on the land.
SACRED SONG MASTER CLASS
February 2, 9, 16 & 23
March 2 & 9, 2027
Sacred song has always been at the heart of our work.
In this series, Shimshai & Susana will share songs, prayers and teachings that have accompanied our ceremonial path for many years.
You will have the opportunity to learn the songs, understand their meaning and continue practicing them throughout the year.
TONALAMATL MASTER CLASS
April 6 & 20, 2027
The Tonalamatl is an ancestral calendar and a way of understanding the energies that accompany our lives.
Through these teachings, we will explore the cycles, personal energies and ancestral wisdom held within this ancient system of time.
WHY WALK THE FULL CYCLE?
A single retreat can open something very important.
But often, the deeper work happens when we return.
When we come back to the land, we sit again at the fire. When we enter ceremony again and when we notice what has changed since the last time we were together.
This offering is for those who want more than a single weekend.
It is an invitation to give yourself the time and space to walk a deeper cycle of ceremony, practice and community.
YOUR INVESTMENT
Six ceremonial weekends individually: $3,600
Full Ceremonial Season: $2,600
Your investment includes the live ceremonial cycle, the Four Altars Intensive, Sacred Song Master Class and Tonalamatl Master Class.
We are opening this offering to a small group so we can preserve the intimacy of the work and the community we create together.
LIMITED TO 20 PARTICIPANTS
You do not need to be a healer. You do not need to have attended our School. You only need to feel that this is a time in your life when you are ready to show up more fully for your prayers, your healing and your relationship with ceremony.
