All of the facilitators and assistants of The Shamanic Lovers Retreats are highly trained trauma-informed practitioners. We will all do are absolute best to make sure that all are cared for in the event of any traumatic responses.

That said, if you suffer from severe trauma, mental illness, or are taking medications, we recommend you consult your therapist/ psychiatrist to check if participating is advisable.

Please consider if your mental health is ready and capable of undertaking powerful initiations and if you can take responsibility for your mental stability.

The facilitators acknowledge and recognize their responsibility to offer participants nondiscriminatory care, a trauma-informed and consent-focused safe space, and appropriate support concerning the process as you navigate the journey.

As such, know that staff will be available to you during the training should you have any concerns.

In addition, there will be a group integration call with the staff a few weeks after the training.
