Boulder, Colorado, October 9-12, 2025
The Harvest — October Medicine Retreat
As autumn paints the mountain in gold and crimson, we gather for The Harvest—a sacred retreat honoring the season of integration, release, and return. Held in the wild beauty of the Boulder Canyon Retreat Center, this immersive journey invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and receive the medicine you’ve sown. Through guided plant medicine ceremony, Classical Tantra, and nature-based ritual, we’ll explore what it means to truly harvest the wisdom of your path—returning to your purpose, your joy, and your inner ground.
In this season of gathering, we honor both the me and the we—tending to our own inner seeds of transformation while weaving them into the rich soil of community. Together, we plant intentions with care, witness each other’s growth, and celebrate the bounty of what we’ve nurtured. What we harvest is not only personal insight, but the shared beauty of belonging, connection, and collective renewal.
Join me and our heartfelt community for a ceremonial weekend at Boulder Canyon Retreat Center, set in the majestic Rocky Mountains. This retreat provides a unique opportunity to expand your consciousness, heal and receive support from sacred medicines and expert guides. With the guidance of our dedicated team and the companionship of like-minded participants, you will experience profound personal and communal growth. Will you join us on this journey of connection?

SUCCESS STORIES

“I found Shane a year and a half ago when I was experiencing profound loss and grief. Shane's holistic approach helped me change unhelpful behaviours and patterns, titrate off three psych meds, and showed me a path forward into healing and growth. Shane's intuitive sense of what has been needed at different points in my journey has been deeply insightful, offered with gentle care and concern. I find myself more grounded, confident and at ease than I would have thought possible in the time since I started working with him. He is a gifted healer and I am grateful to have found my way to him and the healing community he has created.”

“Shane’s group medicine journeys are truly incredible. The whole weekend retreat is a ceremony. We begin by calling in our guides and allies, and sharing our journey intentions with the group. Throughout the retreat, Shane leads solo and shared exercises designed to help us explore our edges, deepen our journeys, and create camaraderie between the journeyers. My experience was that these exercises directly and positively impacted what I experienced in my journeys. We also close the retreat with reflections and ceremony.”

“Shane has something “in his carpet bag of magic” for every moment. Time and time again, I am impressed with what he has to share with me and other dear friends that he also guides. I can’t imagine doing this deep healing work with anyone else – mind, body, spirit and emotional alignment. My healing, learning and growing has by far exceeded where I would have imagined I would be. Life with Shane in it is just that much more beautiful – he guides me to come back home to a more grounded, open, aware, present, powerful and conscious me. There are so many good things to say about Shane and to sum it up, I would say that Shane is Pure Magic.”
