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

Animals, whether found deceased or alive, have great medicine for us to utilize. I found a dead fox on the side of the road in the most unusual of places. I felt the pull to go back to him and to do a ceremony for his spirit and utilize pieces of his fur to put in my medicine bag. In this Shaman Short, I talk about how I work with the energies of animals who have been hit on the roads, and how and why we have Medicine Bags to carry that energy with us.
The 2 most important subjects I’d like to see you talking about and giving advice and hopefully, meditation are how we can achieve our dreams especially regarding career/business area, how to materialize them more easily and immediately, with less pain, suffering and without the long wait. The other very important subject it’s how to materialize/live the love relationship we desire with our true soulmate/ twin flame, how to meet the person, and have a commitment on both sides and engage in a wonderful, respectful loving happy relationship? In today’s coffee session, Dakota talks about the four houses of sacred purpose and how to manifest the sacred relationship with your twin flame.
[Video]The Owl eating the Snake was one of the most profound experiences I have had in nature (and I have had a lot!). I used the footage in a recent online class that I taught, and this is part two of that online class. The footage of the owl is towards the end but I’d like to think the entire video is worth watching!
