In this workshop, we will discuss
the creation of sacred space
as a personal retreat or for
group ceremony, addressing the idea
of holding space for self or
others. We’ll demonstrate concepts
used in indigenous traditions from
around the world, sharing ways
of deepening our relationship with
the sacred landscapes of Mother
Earth. We’ll also practice the
council process typical of many
indigenous traditions.
Our workshop is open to anyone
who is interested in learning
how to establish an atmosphere
supporting the honoring of such
traditions in community or for
personal spiritual practice.
Those who wish to deepen their
knowledge may want to take The
Heart of the Healer five-‐part

Awahoo- Awahoo has been a sacred sojourner since he was a child.
By the age of 12, he had a good understanding of spiritual guides,
karma, reincarnation and numerology. He grew up in Ireland in a
place politically feared as well as spiritually revered. He has
travelled throughout Australia, India, Nepal, China, and the
Americas leading to several mystical synchronicities and meeting
many great teachers along the way. As a sacred sojourner he
wouldn’t just visit a temple, he would stay in a temple for a month
and live with the monks and nuns. He has learnt Vipassana
meditation,
Tai-Chi, Kung Fu, and Taoism. Upon return to Ireland, Awahoo
began to deepen his wisdom with shamanic based practices. During
that time, he received the Peruvian Munay-Ki Rites. He also studied
Peruvian Shamanism with don Oscar Miro-Quesada in the
apprenticeship program of the PMT. He has been conducting Celtic
shamanic ceremonies locally in Ireland and activating many sacred
sites. He is keenly in tune with the land and shares his love with
the spirits and the people through ceremony. Awahoo is an
intuitive, wise, and loving soul.
Justine Fergusen- Justine grew up in Massachusetts, USA and has
been an educator for more than two decades. She is also an advocate
for non-violent communication and is a published fellow of Yale
University focusing on non-violent curriculum. During her time as a
teacher and seeker, she realized that there was something missing:
a connection between the head and heart. She has traveled to and
experienced various cultures (Asia, Central America, South America,
and Europe). She has joined in the sacred ceremony of sweat lodge
as well as other indigenous ceremonies and has participated in as
well as served people on vision quests in North America. She has
also received Peruvian
Munay-Ki Rites. She is a Pachikuti Mesa Carrier and a sanctioned
PMT Facilitator. She is inspired to share the gifts that she has
received throughout her years as a sacred sojourner. She continues
to appreciate and love compassion, humor, music, singing, as well
as learning how to breathe deeply and help others enjoy rather than
endure this human experience on this little blue marble.
