Transcend Fest VT 2026

A Shamanic Journey is an ancient practice dating back to the pre-religion times of animism. Shamanic Journeying uses traditional drumming to effortlessly induce deep meditative states of consciousness without the use of any substances. While in these deep meditative states we can experience healing, emotional release, pattern recognition, wisdom from guides/ancestors, enhanced overall wellbeing, and even mystical visions. In modern times we are so caught up in surviving day to day that we forget the more subtle realms and energies that are unseen around us all of the time. We begin each journey by honoring these unseen energies, our ancestors, and the elemental spirits of earth, water, fire, wind and ether (space). We will set an intention for our journey together after a brief introduction and explanation of the practice to receive the most benefits from our session. The beat of the drum shifts our consciousness toward the spiritual realms and allows us to expand beyond our normal awareness. The science behind these practices lies in the trance inducing beat of the drum, when we listen to repeated drumming our brains shift from our waking state into a deep meditative state. Shamanic Journeys can provide profound healing, new insights and awareness in our life that help us to see life from a renewed perspective which leads to new solutions and experiences.  All are welcome, no previous experience necessary!

This Kundalini ritual invites you into the deeper current of your life force—the ancient, sensual intelligence coiled at the base of the spine. Through breath, mantra, and rhythmic movement, we’ll awaken the serpent energy, clearing what has been dormant and activating embodied power from within.
This practice is grounding, provocative, and deeply intuitive. Designed to dissolve stagnation and awaken confidence, it calls you back into your body as a source of wisdom, desire, and truth. Expect to leave feeling clear, energized, and subtly ignited—rooted in the earth, yet alive with possibility.
A ritual of awakening.
A descent into power.

This workshop is an invitation to reconnect with the quiet, steady knowing that already lives within you.

Certainty Within guides participants through gentle movement, breath, reflection, and grounded conversation to explore what it feels like to trust yourself—in your body, your choices, and your inner voice. Rather than looking outward for validation or permission, you’ll learn how to recognize signals of safety, clarity, and alignment from the inside out.
This experience is especially supportive for those who lead, create, care for others, or feel pulled in many directions. Together, we’ll explore how nervous system regulation, embodied awareness, and presence create the foundation for clear boundaries, confident decisions, and authentic expression.
You’ll leave with practical tools, embodied insight, and a renewed sense of self-trust—able to move forward from a place of grounded certainty rather than urgency or doubt.
No fixing. No forcing. Just remembering how to lead from within.

What if a single sound could shift your inner world? Mantra meditation isn’t just a technique, it’s an ancient practice rooted in bhakti (devotion) that transforms your relationship with the mind and heart.

In this workshop, we’ll break down the essential components of mantra meditation, making it accessible whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned practitioner. You’ll gain practical insights into the structure of mantras, the power of sound and repetition, and how to align your meditation with your personal intentions.

Beyond theory, this is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the practice. Together, we’ll engage in a guided mantra meditation, helping you experience the calming and centering effects firsthand. You’ll leave with tools to create a sustainable mantra meditation practice, a deeper understanding of bhakti, and a renewed sense of connection with yourself and the world around you.
