Welcome to Forces of Nature, a sacred apprenticeship rooted in elemental wisdom, ancestral guidance, and ritual arts. Here, we gather to remember the language of fire, stone, wind, and river to listen deeply to the spirits who walk with us and the land that holds us. This is a space where ritual becomes a daily practice, where devotion shapes belonging, and where we grow the courage to stand as tenders of culture, healing, and mystery. Together, we apprentice to the living Earth and the unseen allies who call us into deeper service.
Holding a protective sacred vessel for our work as animist healers is contingent upon our relationship with the forces of nature, land and the helping spirits with whom we are in alignment.

Shannon will be your guide for this immersive. Her work lives at the wild confluence of dream midwifery, oracular listening, ancestral reverence, and ritual arts. She’s the Ritual Director at Ancestral Medicine, and an initiate in the Òrìṣà tradition of Yoruba-speaking West Africa, she has also apprenticed herself to the dreaming wisdom of her own bloodlines and to teachers of Jhanki Shamanism.
Shannon writes and weaves spiritual accompaniment for emerging leaders and cultural edge-walkers—those drawn to the holy work of remembrance, repair, and rooted resistance. She dwells with her son and their furred companions near the mist-kissed shores of the Salish Sea, on the ancestral and living lands of the Twana-Skokomish people.
