Soul Shamanism Training - Experience Being Whole Body and Soul
2026-01-17 11:00 - 17:00, 2026-01-18 11:00 - 17:00 | Be The Medicine, Chester, NJ, 07930, United States
Join us for the experience of this unique, life-changing spiritual practice.
The goal of this practice is to live this quote. “The privilege of a lifetime is to be who you truly are.” Carl Jung
ACCELERATE YOUR JOURNEY AND MEET YOUR SOUL
As a spiritual seeker and practitioner, imagine meeting your Soul, knowing who you are, and developing a deep trust and guide on your life journey. You learn to fully access your profound pathway to be whole body and Soul.
Our Soul is our divine Self, who knows everything about us, who we are, why we incarnated in this body now, what our purpose is, and how to be whole, authentic, and free to be ourselves naturally. In this practice, you find self-love, compassion, grace, and down-to-earth truth.
Shamanism is a multi-dimensional practice. Soul Shamanism is a Universal Practice accessing the divine realms of us and all. As a Shamanic practice, we experience all levels of ourselves directly.
To journey in this way, we are grounded in the wisdom of our Soul as we explore and learn the divine mission and purpose of our lives.
We journey into the divine dimension of our Soul. It is called our Spirit Lake, which immediately reflects our 3D water body and life. In this dimension, all is revealed and known. We are loved, love, and experience this reality.
Aligning with universal laws and releasing ego limits, we develop a deep connection and learn to live the wisdom of us. As we grow in this practice, our daily life transcends our trained limitations to live our higher truth and reality.
We experience the love, peace, joy, and wisdom within, allowing us to bring these innate qualities into our daily lives. We learn to join with our twin continuously with practice and purpose. As we grow in this practice, the ego transcends limits and blends more with our Soul. We live our lives with clarity and wisdom, authentically being who we are.

We learn to heal ourselves on all levels, clear any interference, and trust ourselves as we are one divine human. All levels of healing and connections with our higher-level guides, healing this life, and releasing trauma, patterns, beliefs, and fears.
This is not typical Shamanism. You are initiated into your Soul, called the Spirit Twin, in this Siberian practice. Advanced-level awareness, healing, clearing, and manifesting occur as we release all that interferes with our ascension and full spiritual expression in our bodies and lives now.
Imagine knowing exactly who you are and why you are in this body and life. You learn to trust your innate wisdom and allow your unique path to unfold. This retreat begins a journey for you on the most grounded and spiritual levels. This is a universal path accessible to all traditions on the highest levels.
When we meet our Soul, we feel at peace and relax into ourselves. In this Shamanic practice, we learn how to connect and trust the wisdom of our Self-Soul in our everyday lives. This real experience is felt, known, understood, and brings us home to ourselves.
Our Soul 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.
We learn immediate ways to experience healing, clearing, and connection to all we need to know. Learning how to activate this level of consciousness is a core part of the journey. This practice grows as we continue to practice and learn the advanced levels of this lineage.
Develop deeper personal and spiritual gifts and a clearer sense of your unique purpose. No matter your tradition, these universal connections and practices are profound ways to know and be our true selves.
This Universal practice came to Janet through a Siberian lineage after years of Shamanic Training and study with many worldwide spiritual lineages and practices. The book “Enering the Circle” speaks about this practice and its lineage. Olga Kharitidi, MD, a psychiatrist, is the author and Shaman.
Janet StraightArrow, your Shaman, Teacher, and Guide, has been a Shaman for 33 years and a teacher of this advanced practice for 23 years. Advanced students are amazed at how this practice takes all their spiritual and healing work to higher, immediate levels.
ARE YOU READY FOR A LEAP IN YOUR SPIRITUAL CONNECTIONS AND HEALING?

Extended hours are offered in this comprehensive training. This weekend’s event includes a follow-up of two Zoom evenings to allow this profound practice to be fully integrated. The entire class schedules Zoom class dates.
Join us for this special opportunity. Immersed in a sacred space, you have ample time to experience and process this practice, integrating all
From this day forward, you will never feel alone and will be empowered by the depth of your Soul and all the spiritual connections and tools you’ve gained from this accelerated experiential class.
Experience an Ancient Wisdom practice that offers you direct access to your Soul, who you are, and why you are here, and guides you in how to live your true Self.
As you deepen this practice, profound awareness, wisdom, healing, and clearing will evolve, along with ongoing access to your personal and spiritual growth journey. This first-level class marks the beginning of a lifelong journey toward higher-level spiritual living, healing, and the embrace of your true Self.
You now have direct access to your inner wisdom and knowledge, and you learn how to deepen this daily. Healing on all levels opens in ways you never imagined possible. We move beyond ego limitation to full soul expression.
Soul Shamanism is an excellent class for healers, teachers, therapists, coaches, yogis, and all seekers. Long-time Shamanic practitioners are amazed at how this advanced practice empowers their Shamanic and healing practices, making them more direct and healing occurring more quickly.
Enjoy this precious gift, an addition to your spiritual healing tool bag. Soul Shamanism takes all Spiritual and Shamanic Practices to new, deeper levels for Shamanic Practitioners, Healers, Yogis, and everyone.
YOUR GUIDE

JANET STRAIGHTARROW found her Shamanic calling in 1992 after twenty-five years seeking complete healing of body, mind, and spirit. Her gifts as a Shaman are unique. Her personal mission was to find the healing and spiritual living of Jesus and the masters and live it today.
Janet’s journey has been intense and fulfilling as she studied with many Shamans, Masters, Gurus, and Renowned Teachers. Janet began practicing and teaching Shamanism in 1995. When she discovered this Siberian Shamanic lineage, she found that it brings together all learning, universal wisdom, and mastery, along with teachings and practices. Offering this training in a retreat setting allows participants to integrate and relax away from daily responsibilities.
From Janet, “I have been honored to be a midwife to people, from children to elders, 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.”
This course offers all-new levels of teaching and experiences to deepen your journey. You receive recordings of the teachings and journeys to practice at home. Janet will also provide a Soul Shamanism Divine Playbook to support your practice by the Spring.
After completion, you can join an ongoing group of practitioners on Zoom for growth, learning, and practice to continue your education and journey. There will also be further classes to experience more levels of the practice.

“Janet brings a rare blend of grounded wisdom and lightness to her teachings. She makes the deep work feel accessible and real, never too heavy or too precious. Her presence is steady, spacious, and refreshingly human. Through her Soul Shamanism practices – which blend guided journeys, spiritual mentorship, and energy alignment – I’ve learned to return to my center repeatedly. Her work is rooted, clear, and practical.”
“Wow! Deep work. Meeting my inner Self and learned the lessons I need in my life now. As a massage therapist and a mother, it’s easy to forget to take care of myself. Today I did that and more, and I can take the lessons and wisdom back into my life and work. Janet’s humor, compassion, and straight talk facilitate the process.”
“This weekend was a spirited one of Acceptance and surrender, both within myself and among those working with me. It provided both the space and the opportunity for healing and to learn new methods of healing on/in the dimension of our everyday reality and the dimensions beyond it. This weekend was filled with understanding, support, and encouragement. It was a wonderful beginning to a lifelong journey
“The experience was an awakening for me. The beginning of a whole new path for me to follow. A way to find my true Self.”
“A lesson in Being. Clarity about my purpose has come to my awareness this weekend through the Shamanic work I have done with this wonderful group. I will bring a different me to my work as a therapist. The closer alignment with my Twin allows me to be with my knowledge and wisdom, and to be the messenger of that.”
“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.”
“Working with Janet has been life-changing by deepening my awareness of myself. She is compassionate and direct, and her techniques are simple yet profound. The simplicity of her work makes it easy to apply the tools in everyday life, which, for me, is one of the greatest gifts. Above all, she approaches life and the process of healing with a lot of laughter, making the journey of self-discovery and healing so much more fun.”
“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.

Reiki Master Healer Teacher Medical Intuition Training 2026 Meeting
2026-03-09 19:00 - 20:30 | Be The Medicine, Chester, NJ, 07930, United States
Are You Ready For Healing Mastery as a Career and for Your Advanced Level Healing?
We are gathering students for the 2026 program. Master’s begins in Spring.
Janet is writing workbooks and preparing a new outline and schedule for this training. More soon.
Have you studied Reiki and wondered if there is more to experience, learn, and know to become a Reiki Master Healer-Teacher? Join us for this Advanced Level Adventure in Healing, Learning, and Spiritual Healing Mastery, along with a Medical Intuition Training Certification for this program.
The gift of Reiki is good medicine in all circumstances. As a Master, you carry a high vibration of healing, love, and light. You understand the entire system and can speak and practice it effortlessly. This course is open to sincere students from all Reiki Traditions.
The path to mastery requires extensive experience, a deep understanding, and ongoing learning. Originally, Reiki Master Training was a ten-year program. I have researched the lineage and incorporated the same teachings in our program.
As a Reiki Master Teacher for 29 years, Janet incorporates fifty-eight years of healing studies, teaching, and practice to empower you to be an experienced, confident Reiki Master professional. Medical Intuition is a perfect blend into this training, offering you additional skills and certification.
From a mastery perspective, we review, practice, and understand all Reiki and Medical Intuition levels. We study and practice healing together over 5-6 months, allowing us time to embody all the energy, healing, and teachings. You learn to teach clients and students and plan and organize classes. Even if you do not plan to teach Reiki now, the learning will be invaluable to your healing and professional practice.
This Comprehensive Program offers a Usui Reiki Master Healer Teacher Certificate and Be The Medicine Advanced Teachings, Healing, and Medical Intuition Certificate. You experience all levels of Reiki from a Mastery understanding and perspective as we attune and practice healing with one another. Completing this training is a new beginning to your life and healing. You also have a professional career. Some people have insurance coverage for Reiki Master Sessions. I also offer CE’s for several professions.
As healers, our first responsibility is to heal ourselves and continually deepen our healing journey. Your most significant learning will happen in your practice with others and yourself. During this training, you will practice in each class and remotely in between. This course offers a firm foundation for learning many levels of energy healing.
This is a Spiritual Journey with tremendous personal growth. After the initial initiations, we will attune each person to the Reiki Master and all Reiki levels as practice and to empower more healing with one another. Complete teaching and understanding allow confidence to build in the process. During the weeks between classes, you will have one or more Reiki buddies to work with remotely.
Learn to heal the past, present, and future. Address physical, mental, and emotional health and wellness. Channel information for clients. Heal issues, bless people, and deepen healings. Work with crystals, meditations, and guidance. Use Reiki to empower mental and emotional healing and positive choices. Advanced level healing work with clients. More profound balance and alignment of Chakras and energy systems in the body. Develop more intuitive skills. Practice on students as we learn. Advanced level remote healing and reading. Learn to connect and work more profoundly with your healing guides. Learn how to use Reiki Attunements to enhance healing with clients. Learn how to teach all levels of Reiki. Learn how to deepen your ongoing personal healing. Medical Intuition is taught each month. Learn professional conduct and ethics.
We have mentoring calls with the entire group to deepen learning and healing. Be curious, open, and ready to go beyond where you imagined healing and mastery would take you.
It is exciting to awaken to more of our gifts and expand ourselves and our practice. You begin to know how to work with clients and students in ways that assist them in their healing and growth.

YOUR TEACHER. Janet StraightArrow has been a Reiki Practitioner for 31 years and a Reiki Master Teacher for 29 years. She continuously enhances her knowledge with ongoing studies and by working with clients and students. Her nearly six decades of research in various mind-body-spirit healing practices from global traditions enable her to teach you how to receive and manifest healing for yourself and others through this Reiki Training. Janet is also a Shaman working with energy healing on deep levels and greater awareness. She brings some advanced Shamanic learning to you in this course.
Reiki Energy Healing is now respected in hospitals and medical settings. As a Master, you are recognized as an Energy Medicine Professional, and your clients may have Insurance coverage. Reiki assists with body, mind, emotion, soul, and spiritual healing.
This course is a spiritual journey of awakening, healing, and becoming. The more you integrate this healing and learning into your life, the more masterful and helpful you become. Some students add this healing experience and practice into their lives and work without becoming professional Reiki Masters. Some students decide to teach several years after completing this class. Some students dive right in and begin teaching and healing.

TESTIMONIALS

Working with Janet for Reiki Master Teacher training was supportive, empowering, and fun! Thanks to the teachings I received, I feel capable of sharing the gift of Reiki with my apprentices. Thank you, Janet, for helping me bring more healing into a world in need! Thank you so very much for your reiki training! My first class went well, and I felt confident in the attunement process! My students were able to connect with the energy post-attunement, too!! Thank you so very much

Janet’s teachings through her individual Reiki sessions and her classes have been transformational for me. I am so grateful for her no-bullshit approach to spirituality and life – it has empowered me to begin to love my whole self and work toward peace, joy, and surrender in every possible moment. After my Reiki 2 advanced training, I immediately began to offer Reiki Sessions professionally, and I am grateful for all the healing that occurs.”Advanced Reiki 2 Graduate💗
I actively searched for a Reiki Teacher/Healer who was spiritual and knowledgeable for one year. I have found this in Janet. Her abilities and areas of expertise are many and varied. The blending of several different healing techniques is, I believe, very unique and powerful. But more importantly, she has made a profound difference in my life. I have been a spiritual seeker for many years, and through my work with Janet, I find myself catapulted into new levels and depths of growth. I am more joyful, loving, and peaceful. I am constantly surprised by the increased healing abilities and sessions I have offered and experienced as I continue to assist others. I am honored to have known and studied with Janet. Her lineage will be one of the essential spiritual growth paths of the new millennium. Reiki Master Healer Teacher Graduate
I initially sought out Janet StraightArrow for a home clearing when we purchased a new home. Since then, I’ve started studying reiki and shamanic journeying with Janet. I feel more connected to my true self. I’ve learned several ways to clear negative emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. In every offering I’ve taken, she shows a direct path to personal power, wholeness, being at home with oneself, and joy! As a Reiki Master, I am more confident with each Reiki session offered and received. I am genuinely grateful that this is the adventure I get to be on now!”Reiki Master Healer Teacher Graduate

Toltec Overnight Retreat - Spring Equinox -A Favorite Don Miguel Ruiz Ceremony
2026-03-21 15:00 - 2026-03-22 10:00 | Be The Medicine, Chester, NJ, 07930, United States
Registration is closed for this Event. Please join us this summer at our retreat house.
Join us this summer in the Catskill Mountains, Accord, NY, for the next Mitote as part of the Vision Quest. July9-12
CLEAR OLD PATTERNS, ENERGY, AND EXPERIENCE RAISED ENERGY, VISIONS, AND CONSCIOUSNESS
THIS 18-HOUR CEREMONY IS POWERFUL. WE MOVE THROUGH PHASES OF AWAKE, ASLEEP, AND DREAMING.
The reason for this is to allow us to break through patterns and awaken spiritual experiences and advancement.
Join us to experience a profoundly transformative process used by Toltec Shamans to release long-held energy, beliefs, and patterns that block you. The second phase of the ceremony allows us to raise our energy to high levels of consciousness as we chant in rounds and experience lucid dreaming.

Photo from Kundalini Yoga. We have a similar setup, chanting around a fire, in our own clothing.
A Mitote is a transformative, high-energy, and focused Toltec Shamanic ceremony that purifies us, raises our vibration and light, and offers a release of illusions and past hurts to awaken higher wisdom and truth—perfect preparation for our new beginnings, with messages and visions for the next stage of life.
The intent is to let go and allow rebirth. This unique and profound ceremonial event raises your energy vibration, breaks through stuck places, and awakens a new vision. A beautiful blend of Shamanism and Yogic Chant, we gently birth ourselves into the next phase of our lives.
We experience our own purification on all levels. We chant the Gayatri Mantra, a high-vibration mantra, throughout the early evening ceremony by a smaller group rotating in the center. You are either chanting or dreaming on the outside of the circle. You raise your energy and allow lucid dreaming visions and inner movement.

StraightArrow has led many of these ceremonies in 5 states over the years. It is a favorite among her students.
“Janet is a midwife who holds each soul in love and bliss, helping them to surrender and be known. Every word that flows out touches everyone, clearing limiting beliefs, rebuilding perfect mental, physical, and spiritual health. She is a blessing to all.”
Bring your pillow, a bedroll, with cushioning for your lucid dream time—a transcendent experience timed to awaken your life.
TESTIMONIAL
“We just finished a Mitote retreat… We were in an amazing space, but the truth is, it would not matter where we were. Janet brings the safe container, and then we build upon it. By ‘safe container,’ I mean a safe place to explore your true self, cut through the illusion, and discover who you are. We were able to experience the love within and integrate it to bring it back out into the world whole and strong, resolved to be our true selves and abide in our true nature.”
YOUR SHAMAN GUIDE

Janet StraightArrow found her soul calling as a Shaman in 1992. After significant study with several Shamans and an apprenticeship, Janet was called to work with Dona Bernadette, one of Don Miguel Ruiz’s first apprentices and also a Shaman, in 2001-2003. Don Miguel is best known for The Four Agreements. During Janet’s two years working with Dona, she traveled and participated in Ceremonies throughout Peru, Mexico, and New Mexico as a part of her training. The Mitote, an overnight ceremony, is a way to assist people in healing and awakening through a high-energy, focused ceremony.
Since that training, Janet has held these ceremonies at least once a year to provide a fantastic experience for those who attend. Janet has continued offering these ceremonies because of the transendent healing experience they provide.
Janet is also adding this ceremony to the July Vision Quest as preparation for Vision Quest Day on Earth.
You will receive preparation emails and speak with Janet before the event. We meet in the mid-afternoon on Saturday and begin preparing for the midnight ceremony. We share a light dinner and rest or sleep early in the evening. At midnight, we awaken, start a round of chanting, watch the indoor fire, and engage in lucid-dreaming cycles. We sleep again, awaken at Sunrise, share experiences in a circle, have breakfast together, and go home. Plan a light Sunday afterwards with alone time if possible.
SIGN UP DETAILS.

“One of the things in life where you don’t realize how much you need something until it presents itself. It is an amazing tool to help you break the habit of the automatic responses to life that are not the best for your well-being. The concept of the mind running on automatic pilot, where you are not the pilot, is so life-changing to get in touch with your true self and escape from the restraints that have been absorbed into our psyche throughout our life experiences.” Brett
“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
“I first learned Monkey Mind Breath and Teachings from Janet in 2008 when I was pregnant and carrying tremendous anxiety after a stillbirth. I didn’t want that fear energy to transfer to my baby. This simple practice has become my anchor. Eighteen years later, I still return to this breath. Through my parents’ deaths, through grief waves, through any moment when I need to shift what I’m carrying. What I love most is how specific it is – you can work with exactly what’s present and call in exactly what you need. After every session, I feel spacious, grounded, and ready. It’s not just calming – it’s clarifying. Janet taught me a practice that has become part of my nervous system’s toolkit for life.” LOVE. Jocelyn b., Art Therapist and Healer.
“The Take the Monkey out of Your Mind teachings and practices came together after years of studies in many traditions. After extensive Shamanic studies, I fully understood what causes our continual thoughts and emotions, how to clear them, and how to remove the cause and hear our true self think and know. From this place, peace and magic happen. We immediately move into our higher mind, intuition, and inner knowledge. I have been teaching this for over 20 years with great results.” Janet StraightArrow

ONGOING STUDENT TESTIMONIAL. Janet brings a rare blend of grounded wisdom and lightness to her teachings. She makes the deep work feel accessible and real, never too heavy or too precious. She doesn’t lead from a pedestal — she walks with you. Her presence is steady, spacious, and refreshingly human.
Through her Soul Shamanism practices — which blend guided journeys, spiritual mentorship, and energy alignment — I’ve learned to return to my center again and again. Her work is rooted, clear, and practical. Over the years, her teachings have become a companion to all the modalities I work with — not the backbone, but a trusted ally. And to me.
Her support has reminded me again and again of my own agency — the power I hold to welcome, release, and return to what’s true. I’ve come home to myself through this work many times — with more clarity about the role I play in my own life, and the love I want to lead with. With deep gratitude, Jocelyn
SOUL SHAMANISM NOTES FOR STUDENTS
As I work with all of you, I find there is more to help you discover your true self and mind.
I am writing a Playbook for the practice. Here are some notes below to remember and begin.
IN JOY!
Discerning truth from lies is tricky, as they all sound like our own voice.
In creating our reality in our daily life, we use methods that have kept us safe as children. In working in divine realms, we purify the stories and discover the truth, which frees us on all levels of our being.
The reason I start with the Monkey Mind teachings and breaths is manifold.

Immediately, you begin to clear energy in your mind, body, and all energy bodies that have been added to your true nature and create confusion.
When we do this breath, we dismiss the energy of the thoughts that control us.
Dropping into our quiet center, we can finally hear the voice of our inner wisdom, our soul.
The ego part that thinks that we are in control is what interferes.
Proper control is when we allow the ego to align with our soul.
When we recognize that these are not our thoughts, our truth, or what we desire, we can choose to begin making lifelong changes.
Notice what throws you off track: a key phrase is “a part of me” does not want to take care of me or do the correct thing.

THIS IS NOT YOU! Parts that work against us are the interfering energies.

So much of our personality takes doubt and disempowering thoughts for granted.
The reason I say zero tolerance, or no B.S., is to help us stop playing limited and small.
It is a practice to stop accepting less than who we are.
The soul knows all.
When we have a voice of doubt, or putting us in our place, and limiting us with reasons and excuses, it’s all B.S.
We practice this to know the truth of our souls.
This is also a profound spiritual practice to be fully in your authentic self, personality, and soul.
As we align with the divine, clarity and peace arise within.
Our lake is a real space and always in us, and us.
Anything that blocks us from this can be cleared.
The universal law is that when we are 100% clear and free of doubt, and command change and energy out, it has to leave immediately.
Tenacity. Confidence. Practice.
Our lake is our inner space in higher dimensions, always ours to access and work with.
This is the most profound spiritual Shamanic practice I know for accomplishing healing and gaining knowledge on all levels.
We access our inner net that knows all.
Every part of the teachings and experience is a journey.

Coming back to the breath and practicing it throughout the day is key.
This is not just another breathing practice; it awakens us to see and feel the truth of who we are.
The thoughts we clear are the ones controlling our lives.
WE CLEAR REAL ENERGY OF TRAUMA AND ALL WE HAVE CARRIED THAT INTERFERES WITH OUR TRUE SELF.
As we no longer listen, follow, analyze, or talk to them, we are free to release the energy, patterns, and beliefs that have brought them to us in the beginning and since.
As we stop tolerating not knowing, the knowing is awaiting our attention.
Getting out of our minds and into our souls is subtle, and as we continue this practice, it becomes clearer and easier.
A couple of questions come to me as I work with us all.
Why do we so easily believe negative beliefs instead of embracing the higher positive vibrations and truth?
One reason is that it is the way we have been socialized, and how our ego has adapted in all areas of our lives.
Having good boundaries and discernment takes practice. We are breaking through illusions to truth.
You can feel it in your energy.
You also say protective sayings in your head or out loud.
It will be okay.
It’s alright.
It’s just the way I am.
IN THIS PRACTICE. We learn to go within to our higher self, soul, and twin, and to know the truth.
It is a practice to trust and know what we know.
As soon as we buffer truth and experience with kind of, sort of, maybe, I think, or like, we are entertaining fear.
To say what we mean, and mean what we say, is an essential learning curve and practice for all.
No doubt. No fear. No judgment or blame.
Practice this in your everyday life.
HONOR This is my experience, choice, decision, and action.
Being our own advocate is imperative.
The universe works with us, calling for what we want.
I want Clarity. Purpose. Healing. Wisdom. Truth……I want to know my authentic Self.
Surrendering to our highest and best allows things to happen, doors to open, movement, and action.
WE BEGIN TO HAVE A clear path open to us.
Join us at the next level of classes, where we are experiencing amazing healing and life-changing connections.
Always in Love, Janet StraightArrow 973-647-

Friday-Sunday AM is preparation for your 6 hours on the land Sunday, sunrise to noon, in a sacred spot to Vision, Dream, Receive Messages and Signs in Nature, connecting you to your divine source. Resolve personal questions and conflicts. Coming back and integrating prepares us for our return to the world.

RECLAIM YOURSELF, DREAM, ENVISION, WANDER, HEAL

RELEASE WHATEVER IS HOLDING YOU BACK.
“I feel like I am twenty years younger since my Vision Quest with Janet in July 2024. I reclaimed myself and found new strength, peace, and joy. I feel like I have a new beginning to an exciting life. I am profoundly grateful to Janet for providing this space and opportunity to live my true self, who is quite wonderful.” CC, I loved it so much I came back to Quest again in 2025 and took the Soul Shamanism retreat in August..

Take time away from everyday life to connect with your true nature and call forth a vision for the next phase of your life. A powerful, transformative, and transcendent experience in which healing and awakening continue for at least a year, and continue unfolding the remainder of your life’s journey.
A Sacred Invitation

A time for you. A beautiful natural space to relax and connect.
Pause and go inside to discover your authentic voice, needs, choices, and inner wisdom as a gift you give yourself. You find that this experience offers deep Healing on all levels, and you feel free to be yourself.

Are you preparing for a new chapter in your life?
Are you moving through a significant change this year?
Come for a powerful weekend of ceremony, Journeys, transformation, and rebirth with Janet StraightArrow. Awaken clarity, life purpose, and joy as we break through illusions, fears, and ego. This is a gentle yet powerful life-changing weekend.

We begin the journey with emails leading up to the retreat, preparing you for your experience. Before you sign up for the quest, you call Janet to speak, set expectations, and clarify the process.

“A retreat with Janet is coming home. Janet’s teachings emerge from a place of unconditional love. You come away, your life forever changed. Choosing to work with Janet is giving yourself the most beautiful gift in the world.” Beth Lieberman Mund, Medium, Channel, Healer.

We enjoy the gift of letting go of daily routines and comforts to experience living in a private retreat space in a natural setting, where there is little to no interference from the world, which is always quite enlightening.
We become present for the big and the little things in our lives. Nature nurtures us and reveals beauty and wonder in every moment. In our sacred time, we remember who we are and listen and learn more clearly.

Significant changes are often made before or after the Quest, as you are about to go through a new phase or rite of passage, or you are just ready to go deeper on your journey and learn more.
Our Sacred Space at Art Farm Recording

We enjoy walks in the woods, bonfires at night, a star-filled sky, an outdoor soaking tub, visiting horses, and a nature-spirit-filled property. Janet also leads us through advanced Shamanic practices.
Art Farm is a farm converted to a retreat space in the Hudson Valley in the Catskill Mountains, west of New Paltz, off the NY Thruway and Route 209. Janet rents the cabins and acres of property for privacy. We have a main cabin and smaller cabins, each equipped with linens for sleeping and working together. A pine forest campground has a flush toilet and an outdoor stone-lined hot shower for tent campers. Your choice of accommodations.
We each provide our food and have an ample, fully equipped modern kitchen, along with indoor and outdoor seating options. It is suggested that we prepare something simple to make the most of our time.
“Janet StraightArrow provides an unparalleled opportunity to bring you to the real you. It’s a well-worn path for her; she knows every part of this amazing journey. Janet emanates love, respect, and, most of all, joy in this great adventure. If you are ready to walk the path back to you – there is no better guide, teacher, mentor, and friend than Janet StraightArrow.” Christine, Therapist, Shamanic Practitioner

This three-day retreat, from Friday to Sunday, allows a deep process and experience. Significant healing and becoming continue long after the Quest.

This is a life-changing experience that deserves space and time before and after the event to prepare and process. Keep healing and awakening to who you are, breaking patterns, healing karma, stepping into your power, and visioning your next steps and future.

Janet has been a practicing Shaman for 34 years. She holds a powerful, loving spiritual energy as a container for the group, allowing each individual a space to connect with the divine and achieve their best during this retreat.

A SACRED INVITATION
This is a profound opportunity for spiritual growth, awareness, and connection beyond anything you might have experienced. Universal wisdom allows students from all traditions to relate to, experience, learn from, transcend, and move deeply into their lives today.

Tuition $625. Lodging $130. = $755. by 8/18
Deposit $250 holds your place. Class size limited to 12 participants.
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.
Who Is This For?
This Soul Shamanism Training has been developed for healers, teachers, therapists, coaches, yogis, and all seekers. Long-time Shamanic practitioners discover how this advanced spiritual practice empowers more direct healing and knowledge.

“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 amazingly flows into you. 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.”
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.”
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
JANET STRAIGHTARROW LINEAGE

YOUR GUIDE, AND THE JOURNEY TO SOUL SHAMANISM
“To have a true teacher who can communicate to everyone from different backgrounds the ‘truth’ of ‘love’, loving ourselves and loving each other, is a rare and miraculous gift. She knows when you have a question and need to express yourself, even if you’re afraid to. Janet kindly helps you reframe your words about yourself, your feelings, and others to better align with love and truth. What a genuinely amazing experience and teacher.” Claudia Barish Teicher, Yoga Teacher

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 traditions and unexpected places worldwide, 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 discernment and the knowledge of Ancient Knowledge. Seeing the truth and illusions of what was happening in the world made it difficult for a child to understand.
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 to do so, becoming 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 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

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 and teaching healing and Shamanism, Reiki, and other spiritual healing modalities, and has offered 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.

ONGOING STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

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!

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.

“Janet’s teachings disintegrate old neural pathways and create new ones to break out of default ways of operating and living that have been the norm for generations and lifetimes. Her work lays the foundation for a new road for humanity’s future by merging ancient traditions and higher wisdom. Allowing the soul and ego to work in harmony and unveiling the truth of being.” Tara Villari, Astrologer, Healer, Shamanic Professional

“Janet brings a rare blend of grounded wisdom and lightness to her teachings. She makes the deep work feel accessible and real, never too heavy or too precious. She doesn’t lead from a pedestal — she walks with you. Her presence is steady, spacious, and refreshingly human. Through her Soul Shamanism practices — which blend guided journeys, spiritual mentorship, and energy alignment — I’ve learned to return to my center again and again. Her work is rooted, clear, and practical. Over the years, her teachings have become a companion to all the modalities I work with — not the backbone, but a trusted ally. And to me. Her support has reminded me again and again of my own agency — the power I hold to welcome, release, and return to what’s true. I’ve come home to myself through this work many times — with more clarity about the role I play in my own life, and the Love I want to lead with. With deep gratitude, Jocelyn, Healer, Therapist, Artist, Coach
“Working with Janet StraightArrow has been life-changing for me. Her insights have opened up my eyes in ways I never dreamed possible. She uses humor and direct communication that bypass my natural defenses. Janet is the real deal. I am grateful to have crossed paths with her.” JN. Psychotherapist, Soul Shamanism Practitioner.

“I’ve been working with Janet for the last two years, and I recommend her highly. I have attended some of her workshops in person, met with her individually, and I attend her ongoing shamanic journeying groups. Janet is definitely the real deal, a true shaman. She is a very skilled and experienced guide. My life has changed rapidly since working with her, as I have navigated big life transitions with her support. Our work together has facilitated a far deeper relationship with my own soulful depth and has made room for me to connect to my ancestors and guides on my own. Additionally, I use many of the tools I have learned from her daily; they have allowed me to quickly clear myself energetically and be so much more present, as I can quickly center myself and clear thoughts that get in the way of being truly aligned with myself. After benefiting from many years of solid psychotherapy and Healing, Janet has taken my journey to the next level. She has been a powerful spiritual guide and teacher to me and continues to be. As a Psychotherapist myself, this work has deepened my ability to guide my clients on their own psycho-spiritual Healing journeys. “SB. Psychotherapist, Soul Shamanism Practitioner.
