SOUL SHAMANISM A WEEKEND WITH YOUR SOUL

“I accept the great adventure of being me,” Simone de Beauvoir.

3 days, 2 nights, May 29-May 31, Extended Hours.
Also offered on August 28-30 in the Catskills, NY
A SACRED INVITATION

 “With all I have practiced and studied, I found Janet StraightArrow’s work to be profound and moves me deeply. Everything is logical and immediately usable in every area of my life. Each person in the class is from a different spiritual healing path, and yet we were all on this path together. It is refreshing to have such a grounded spiritual teacher to take me on this new level of my journey.” Claudia, Yoga Teacher

Join us on this journey to you. Imagine learning a direct process to know exactly who you are and why you are here now. Experience yourself on the most grounded human and spiritual levels to begin to know and live your authentic Self. 

We learn to heal and trust ourselves on all levels as one divine human. 
In this Ancient Siberian practice, advanced-level awareness, practice, healing, clearing, and manifesting occur as we release all that interferes.

Janet guides us with refined spiritual practices that help us move into this higher experience. We dive into our Spirit Lake, a territory that reflects our body and life in direct ways, informing us about what is occurring in our life, health, energy field, relationships, purpose, and more. 

In this divine dimension, we feel at home. Next, we meet our Soul, called the Spirit Twin. Immediately, we feel connected, supported, and loved, and we begin to join body and Soul.

As we learn to navigate this territory and ourselves, and learn how it works, we align with universal laws and release ego limits. With continuous practice, we continue to grow and find that our daily life transcends our trained limitations, allowing us to live our authentic selves.

Our Soul twin is our divine Self, who loves us unconditionally, knows our personality, agreements, contracts, and lessons, and offers us wisdom in everyday life. In this practice, we begin to learn to walk our human and spiritual path with direct experience and understanding.

From this day forward, you will never feel alone. You will be empowered by the depth of who you are and all the spiritual connections and tools you’ve gained from this accelerated experiential class.

Teaching seekers from children to elders has been exciting to experience and witness the deep personal connections and growth as they come home to themselves in myriad ways. You learn to trust your innate knowing, intuition, and Soul’s wisdom rather than struggle.

Testimonials. Healing Professionals and Advanced Seekers.

THE REAL DEAL “I have been working with Janet StraightArrow’s Soul Shamanism program for the past 5 years. Up until that point, I had accrued many accomplishments in the Healing Arts: three Master Reiki certificates, four courses of study with big-name Shamans, Theta healing, hypnotherapy, and many others. There is absolutely nothing out there at the level of what Janet is teaching! She has brought me forward in my life and healing practice in an expanded, beautiful way and upleveled me after many years of healing modalities that only brought me so far. Today, my life flows as I live in alignment with my authentic self, with the pain and traumas of the past transmuted and no longer playing out in my life. Janet is the real deal. Honest, with kindness and integrity. She is a powerhouse healer while still being compassionate and accessible, and very much in touch with her own humanity and story. This allows for vulnerability with safety and Love, which equals deep Healing on all levels. I am well beyond grateful and highly recommend her programs.” Kim M. Roche, Astrologer, Reiki Master, Shamanic Professional #transmute #soulhealing #wisdom #transform #ascend #practicalspiritual #advanced

This weekend workshop with Janet StraightArrow is a weekend with your Soul. With humor, wisdom, honesty, and compassion, she guides you back to your true Self. It is an amazing experience that must be felt! And I can tell you, you will never be the same. You will be transformed on a deep level; you will open to your gifts, your strengths, and embark on an exciting journey of discovery. This powerful first workshop with Janet blew me away. Be prepared to laugh, because being with Janet is like being with a wise, trusted friend. Be prepared to see things in a new way; her techniques are magically transforming and healing. I had a blast! PS. Janet teaches you in a way you don’t realize you’re being taught – the information flows into you amazingly. It is awesome!” Mary Nag. Reiki Master Healer-Teacher

“Working with the Spirit Lake and Spirit twin is a beautiful complement to all the healing work I do. It allows me to delve deeper into other work and experience healing that is both immediate and enduring. Janet teaches in a way that is sacred and safe, with wisdom and discernment that creates profound, lasting results.”

“The weekend was a learning about perception – moving out of my head and into pure experience. The tools of the art of perception were shared with clarity and power by Janet, and I was able to use them immediately to access life lessons during my Shamanic Journeys. Janet is truly a gifted teacher.”

“This class brought me to a place of being more centered with myself. The personal insights gained from practicing newly learned journeying and breathwork techniques were a magnificent gift to myself, assisting me on my healing journey. These techniques are easy to learn and invaluable to all!”

“My weekend with Janet was all about opening my mind, heart, and Soul. She created the space with her gentleness, insight, and warmth, allowing this opening to unfold naturally. I appreciate how she can cull wisdom from ancient practices and apply it to each student’s experience. A powerful workshop.”

“This workshop was a bringing together of me, a way to access me and be with me. A very safe space to speak my truth without judgment, shame, punishment, or shove. It solidified for me what the next step on my journey will be and provided a path toward it. Not only will this work support me on my journey, but it will also impact all the Patients and clients I work with.”

. “With all due respect to all forms of learning, everything seems trivial once you have journeyed to your Soul; to be alive has a whole new meaning. Janet, thank you for the gift of Self. Your workshop changed my life. Thankfully, Souls like you are here to lead us into the next phase! There is no more denying who I am or why I am here. It no longer feels OK to ask anyone else for my answers.” Veronica Drake, Life Coach, Messenger

From Janet, “I have been honored to be a midwife to thousands of people in this practice. When I introduced my 80-year-old mother to this practice, she was in bliss and said,” I feel at home for the first time.” Everyone has a Spirit Lake and twin. From here, our journey is limitless.”

YOUR GUIDE, AND THE JOURNEY TO SOUL SHAMANISM

a woman with a white hat
Janet StraightArrow is a Master Shaman, Healer-Teacher, Sage, Yogi, and Astrologer.

As a Shaman, Janet holds a big energy of love and delight. She is honored and grateful to support the journeys of each person who is called to work with her. Six decades of focus and study on spirituality and healing have led her to experience and explore worldwide traditions and unexpected places, offering people an exciting journey.

Janet’s lifelong search has been to study and live the wisdom of the sages. She was born with the gift of discernemnt knowing Ancient Knowledge. Seeing the truth and illusions of what was happening in the world made it difficult for an aware child to understand.

The way people spoke and acted was often not aligned with the wisdom she understood. She experienced a lot of confusion, yet innately knew and trusted universal truth, love, responsibility, common sense, and logic.

In 1967, at the age of fifteen, she was given a dire diagnosis, without any hope. After recovering from shock, she remembered the divine truth inspired by Jesus’s example and teachings. She knew we could heal ourselves and decided to learn how and be happy and healthy into old age.

Her life’s mission, Be The Medicine, was born. She has been inspired to develop a universal path to help others become their own medicine. Now, at the age of seventy-three, Janet has reached the first stage of her goal. The next phase of the journey may be the best, as she brings the journey’s fullness into the world.

Janet’s life has been a progressive journey of study, practice, and living through each stage; new questions have always led to answers. There was always another book, teacher, master, or practice to glean more clarity and wisdom. Janet relates to the spiritual healing and becoming journey as an adventure. Each step opened more truth and light to embrace. Her entire life has been extremely challenging, marked by resilience and accompanied by enormous gifts.

Janet’s focus has always been Universal; many paths became one as she honored and integrated all the foundational wisdoms of many traditions. Her studies with 150 teachers worldwide and her reading of thousands of books gave her information, tools, and many perspectives to learn from.

In 1981, Janet opened her first healing business, The Whole Foods Cooking School. She taught women to how to heal and nourish their families with whole foods nutrition. She also taught tasty ways to prepare healthy meals with pure ingredients.

That same year, Janet began her yoga and meditation studies with the Himalayan Institute. She has always honored this lineage and is happy to bring her work to the Institute.

SHAMANIC CALLING
Hand on heart with beaded bracelet.

In 1992, Janet StraightArrow found her Shamanic calling after twenty-five years seeking complete healing of body, mind, and spirit. No one was more surprised than herself, a white woman from New Jersey, to accept and understand her true Self as a Shaman.

Her gifts and past-life memories have been continuously awakened since that moment of discovery. Janet experienced many spiritual initiations and energy risings as she continued her deep work with Shamans, Masters, Gurus, and Renowned Teachers.

In 1995, Janet began practicing healing and teaching Shamanism, Reiki, and other spiritual healing modalities. Offering continuous individual and group healing, coaching, and teaching in seven states, NYC, and on Zoom. Teaching has been a huge learning experience, too. She has mentored ongoing groups of students since 1999.

Soul Shamanism was born in 2003, when she was introduced to a Siberian Shamanic lineage. She was guided to grow this path into its wholeness, bridging refined levels of universal wisdom and healing mastery, along with embodied teachings and accelerated practices.

Teaching Soul Shamanism for 23 years has allowed the fullness, ongoing potential, and profound results to manifest into grounded spiritual experiences in how to live our innate power and truth. Continuous journeys into higher dimensions of healing and wisdom, from the sixth to the thirteenth, have been extraordinary.

Janet has several books in progress, and more workshops, training sessions, and online offerings are being scheduled. Yearly Vision Quest Ceremonies and other unique, transformative ceremonies and retreats help people deepen their personal journey and live their true selves.

More information about Janet, Be The Medicine, and Soul Shamanism is available on her website. www.BetheMedicine.com.

“A retreat with Janet is coming home. Janet’s teachings emerge from a place of unconditional love. You come away with you and your life forever changed. Making a choice to work with Janet is giving yourself the most beautiful gift in the world.” Beth Mund, Master Healer, Medium, Channel, Author, was mentored by Janet for several years.
