Hi, I'm Dakota.
I've been walking this path since 1992, teaching, journeying, and making the kind of medicine that meets you exactly where you are. Sound journeys, ritual work, and a wheel with room for every direction you're standing in right now.

Today's gift: Buried Light, a $22 journey, yours free.
There's a hum beneath ordinary life. You've felt it, that pull from somewhere you can't quite name.
A short quiz shows you exactly where you're standing on the wheel right now. Then Buried Light, the first crossing of the Soul Quest series, is yours to keep.

Join the Circle →The Wheel of the Cailleach
She's the old one, the winter hag who carries the year in her two hands and knows exactly when to let it go. You'll meet her at whatever threshold you're already standing at. She won't ask you to explain it.
The Wheel turns through 4 seasonal arcs. Each one holds its own weather, its own kind of dark, its own return. You don't have to walk the whole year to begin, join for a single arc, or walk the full turning, whichever door is open to you right now.
This is the deepest work I teach. Ritual. Sisterhood. The slow work of coming back to yourself, one season at a time.

Fresh from the fire, ready when you are.
What this work sounds like
Wow! I stumbled upon this course and know better than to think it was by accident. After completing the exercise on day 8, I had a powerful vision where my spirit guide skillfully wove life experiences over the past two decades together to provide me with a profound insight. I'm confident this will help me improve my health and guide me toward continued spiritual growth. Thank you, Dakota! Your wisdom and words are a gift!
Dakota is an amazing informative teacher. I love her meditations and this course was the best one I have ever taken here on insight timer. I would love to be able to study more with her. She is an endless well of information and application of incorporating Shamanic Tools into your practice. Thank you thank you thank you. I'm forever grateful for her wisdom.
This is the 73rd day on this new journey on IT, and this is the rhythm and energy I've grown to look for...so fricken' good!
