Soul Warrior Training™
The Soul Warrior Training™ is a deep dive into the four cardinal directions of the Medicine Wheel. Each live session is 9-weeks long and follows the directions through the seasons. The Soul Warrior Training™ is home to a global community, many of which have traveled the Medicine Wheel for several years. This is the signature program for Gaia Wisdom School and is the most popular course.
Now, you can join any of the sessions at any time through our Light Seeker Path which is a solo trek following the course content. Our live sessions include live weekly workshops, community interaction, bonus courses, book shares, and more.
Our next enrollment will be for the Alchemist/West Direction and will open for enrollment in September.
When Autumn comes, or the West Direction, you have an opportunity to reflect on your harvest. Are these the fruits you desired to manifest? How is your external world a reflection of your inner world? You’ll seek where in your life you need stronger boundaries, or maybe even less rigid boundaries. You’ll work with a variety of tools from the Druidic, Shamanic, and Witchery realms to find balance, protection, and harmony in your external world.
This is also the time of year when the veil is thin and you are able to work more easily with your Ancestors and dig into what healing needs to be done along your ancestral lines or with your land ancestors. You’ll also traverse your fragmented soul, bringing lost soul pieces back through soul recovery. You’ll learn how to cut cords, re-negotiate soul contracts, and soul bindings.
And finally, creating an external environment to support your internal soul. Steeped in the ideals of Hearth, Kitchen, House, and Green Witchery, as well as energetic imprints we leave on physical spaces, your home and the places you occupy, will never feel the same again after this session!
The Soul Shaman session is a deep dive into our soul. We take this time to retreat inward and work intimately with the spiritual realms, our spirit guides, and our higher self. It’s about finding the presence of our beingness without the influence of the external world. We ask the deep questions that can only be contemplated in the silence, the stillness, and within the heart space that is connected to Source.
Our inner wisdom begins to emerge and we step confidently into our power. We determine what is in our highest good, what seeds we want to plant in the East direction, and how we wish our lives to be a reflection of.
In the 9 weeks, we are together, we use the power of ritual, soul retrieval, finding our inner shaman, and how to take the journey to the other side of the veil where we meet our spirit.
This is a powerfully deep direction and a fan favorite among those who have traveled the Medicine Wheel with Dakota. This is the direction where we build the foundation for all the other directions to operate from.
The Visionary is the place in the Medicine Wheel where we give birth to our dreams and inspirations. We utilize the power of our mental body and form the structure needed and take actions towards manifesting our desires. Prayer, sacred communication, vibration, frequency, and the quantum field.
We begin the journey into living our authentic truth and evaluate the characters who have played a part in our story – good or bad, and how they might have hindered us or pushed us towards our sacred purpose. We learn what is possible for our life, and the steps needed to create the life most reflective of our inner spirit.
The Sacred Heart Warrior resides in the South Direction of the Medicine Wheel. It is the house of our Emotional body and in this direction, we work specifically with emotions, intuition, empathy, relationships, and sensuality. We also work closely with the Twin Flame energy, and the Divine Feminine and Sacred Masculine.
In the South Direction, you will begin your journey by uncovering the emotional blocks which have held you back from living into your fullest self. You will trace the emotion back to its origin and begin healing that lineage of emotion to the present day. You will then learn tools for emotional well-being. Then you dive into relationships, and how we relate to yourself and to others. You will re-define these relationships, learn how to love yourself fully, and tools for building sacred relationships. You will then discover how the twin flame energy and soul mates influence your life and how to prepare yourself for this extraordinary connection to the beloved. By embracing our Divine Feminine through sensual and intimacy, you will tap into a well of creativity and expanded sense of self. You will balance that with the strength and courage of your Sacred Masculine. At the end of the 9 weeks, we bring this all together into integration with our intuitive body and creativity.
You’ll also learn the powerful tool of Soul Tracking™, a way of interpreting the signs and messages your Spirit Guides are bringing to you. This is an immersive way to deepen your relationship with your spirit guides and higher self.

Soul Tracking
Soul Tracking™ is now a large part of what I teach in the South and North Direction of the Medicine Wheel; it has become one of the primary tools for accessing the deep wisdom held within us. So, what is Soul Tracking™ specifically? It is the interpretation of your external world through your internal wisdom, which creates pathways of guidance from the spiritual realms.
It is multi-faceted, deep, constant, and evolves with you. It brings you fully present and mindful. It is full of texture, and answers to your deepest held questions. It clarifies and brings an understanding that you may not have otherwise garnered. It is, by far, the most potent tool for plucking wisdom from your life. And the best thing? It’s accessible to everyone. You don’t need to be a well defined psychic or medium, and you don’t have to buy any witchy tools for divination (unless you want to), you don’t need anything other than a desire to live a more connected, and intentional life.

Shamanic Journeying
Do you have areas in your life you would like more clarity or guidance? Perhaps healing, or relationships, or feeling connected? For thousands of years, Shamans have journeyed to the Worlds of Non-Ordinary Reality to receive such healing and guidance. Using a trance state, a well-crafted intention, and with the assistance of our spirit guides, and power animals we can travel to these worlds which exist outside our ordinary world and receive our own guidance.
In ten days, you’ll learn all the components needed to safely and effectively take a Shamanic journey and begin implementing this powerful tool into your spiritual practice. Shamanism isn’t a religion, it’s a path and tool for direct revelation and therefore, can be used by anyone of any spiritual tradition or faith. Learning to journey properly and safely, will provide you a powerful tool for deep spiritual growth. Read More

I camped in Snow Canyon State Park in Utah and found myself in awe and wonder at the magnificent beauty that surrounds us. Life, if you aren’t amazed then you aren’t paying attention – that was a bumper sticker I had on my car for a number of years, it was always my reminder to pay attention to the things around you.
Guided meditation is quite popular and with good reason. It’s benefits are enormous and meditation can be just the tool you need for reducing stress, finding connection, and more. In today’s coffee, Dakota answers a question about meditation and why it is so prevalent now in our time.
Before birth, we not only choose our parents but also choose our life situations and challenges to facilitate spiritual growth and atone for previous karma for our continued evolution on a soul level. Karma means action, work, or deed and refers to the principle of causality through which the intent and actions of individual influences their future. Through discovering who we have been we can come into greater connection with who we are right now and how our present life is serving our soul progress.
