Introduction

An invitation to connect and open your heart

We spend our lives building armor around our hearts, convinced that staying closed is the only way to stay safe. But that same armor eventually becomes our cage—keeping out the very love, acceptance, and abundance we crave. Right now, the collective is moving through a massive heart recalibration. Everything that isn't in alignment with your soul’s truth is being stripped away to make room for something deeper.

This 8-day self-led journey is your invitation to stop surviving and start belonging to yourself. By healing the relationship with your Inner Child—the most vital connection you will ever nourish—we begin to dissolve the walls. We don't just 'fix' the heart; we activate the Emerald Heart, a high-frequency state of being that allows you to lead from desire, find your soul community, and finally live in complete alignment with your sovereign truth.

This programme may be for you if...

  • You have experienced loss, grief, heartbreak or difficult relationships
  • You feel like you may not be connected to your inner child
  • You are ready to do some heart healing, forgiveness and letting go so you can live a life of purpose and joy
  • You feel like you have things weighing on your heart from the past you would like to release and finally let go of
  • You would like to connect to your beautiful heart

This programme may not be for you if...

  • You are not willing to put the time needed for the journeys and reflection/journally time
  • You want to stay in negativity and don't want to change your life
  • You are closed-minded and not open to some of the life changing practices
  • You have a severe mental health issue and/or are in pyschosis/severe shock/PTSD

How to prepare

  • Allow yourself 25-30 minutes to receive the medicine (ideally just before bed).
  • As with anything, the more you give to yourself, the more you receive. This is your sacred time to connect with your heart.
  • For the shamanic journey, have a sacred place where you won't be disturbed and listen with headphones. You may also wish to light a candle or burn some sage. An eye mask can help you to journey deeper.
  • Have a pen and journal for the journeying and the journalling.
  • The in between integration days have journal invitations which allow you to reflect and integrate the medicine.
  • If you haven't journeyed before, relax!
  • Journeying is like meditation, you may visualise, feel, or just receive a knowing from your heart.
  • My guidance is there to allow the journey to flow, however your journey may slightly differ to what I'm saying - allow your own magic and wisdom to unfold.
  • You may receive guidance over the next few days after a journey. It might come in symbols, images or in dreams.

What will I learn on the programme?

What else is included in the programme?

I’ve really loved the course. Dawn holds space with warmth, humility and wisdom. there is room to experience the path for ourselves within a supportive container. The small group is nurturing and encouraging.

There’s opportunities to go as deeper with the shamanic year and I know this is just the beginning of my journey with shamanism.

I feel so much more connected to myself, my embodiment and my intuition, and to the world around me. Open to messages coming through and open to living in a spiritual way daily around my ‘real’ life.

The highlights have been learning to journey and connect with the upper and lower worlds, guides, clan, animal guides and spirits. Feeling confident enough to do this myself.

Claire McP

Ever since being a child I was drawn to the magical and mystical. I had awareness of my gifts and abilities but what I lacked was a supporting teacher to help me understand and develop these.

As someone who often has my head in the clouds, going around the medicine wheel with has helped me to ground, feel safer and more connected to nature and spirit than I ever thought possible.

My confidence has grown and the anxiety I once had has been replaced with a deep sense of trust in myself, and the earth.

Dawn is a fantastic guide who brings these ancient teachings to life and a simple yet magical way. The course has transformed my everyday world!

Carly

She was embodying a whole new version of herself, stepping up and into a greater level of courage and confidence as she has invested in herself and is showing up for her daily practices and focusing on her self-healing.

C

Saw a massive shift in her energy. She started a new job a week into the course, this helped give her confidence to stand in her power and not be afraid of stepping up into this new role, and be in her truth and face everyday challenges. She connected more to her intuition, her spirit and being able to trust her magical experiences (and quiet the left brain).

Sophie

Was setting boundaries and stepping more into her power, but also releasing judgements and ego and being from compassion and her heart to communicate more of her wisdom and her magnetic truth.

Ingrid

The highlights of being as a mentor on, the shamanic embodiment was, the transformations that have taken place for everybody that has, participated on the course.

Just watching those transformations, the depth of it, the flourishing of their own sort of magic coming through. The magic is just being absolutely divine to watch unfold.This being really lovely.

What challenges have you faced as a mentor? Oh gosh, I think it's the exhaustion, the exhaustion, it's constant.It's that devotion to spirit and letting it move through you in every way and really getting out of your way that's what you I can't came close to the things that was asking me to let go and to really, step in to, the letting go of phase was the most challenging through the whole light.Is it like it, there's things that happen before the actual ceremonies take place every week.

So it's the things that surprise me is the rapidness of it. Cause I'm a therapist myself, so I could be sitting and put with people for 12 months before they come up with their own, their own agency.It take, that takes time where I feel like with the shamanic horse, it's the rapidness of people's transformation.

That's really surprising to be part of.I don't know if the word surprise and it kind of fits that. But that's the thing that really strikes me where I'm like, whoa, how did they get from that to that in by themselves? It's like that real stepping in of their own power.

Things I'll be taking into my own life diversion, the feeling, of what embodiment feels like. It's truly, it's magical. The, the diversion of really being with spirit and the connection with it.I always say, I think when is that sort of anticipation, you feel like you've got a call in and there's an anticipation like that. That's probably the time that you supposed to step in. It's when it feels more scary.

Yasmin

I'm a Reiki master and masters teacher and also a quantum healer. And this is just completely different dynamics. But I guess really what I've learnt is that there's so many similarities between each of the modalities that I use.

And I guess lots of surprises have particularly been around, things that I was struggling with on the shamanic core. So for example, going up to the upper world, and I was really struggling mentally to get my head around that.

And then I actually realised that when I'm doing all of my healing sessions for quantum healing, I'm actually operating in the upper world. So, that kind of helped challenges for me. I've been on a practical basis, just around getting to lessons cause I've got other stuff that I teach myself at night time.

But it's been absolutely amazing to be able to have the recordings, to watch afterwards. So that's been super helpful for me, on a personal basis. Biggest surprise for me was when we started to facilitate doing journeys for each other. And I haven't fully appreciated what that was gonna entail, but how much I would really enjoy it.

Just a total privilege, a massively heart opening, when I did that. So absolutely amazing. So I teach which school, and in my, level 3 course that I am pulling together at the moment, I was going to be spending a period of time on shamanism, but that's gonna take a larger proportion cause I guess I really want to share now what I've learnt, and be able to enable people, to go and do the same thing.

So hopefully make some further instructions to Dawn as well. It's a fantastic course. Dawn's an amazing teacher and she makes everybody feel, cared about, heard. And the structure of the course is great.

You've got time to be able to go away and do your further research yourself if you want to, and to really take it to whatever level you want to take it to. So it's a fantastic course, highly recommended. That wasn't as scary as I thought it was gonna be.

Sarah

I was blown away from my session with Dawn. She is such a nurturing and caring healer, yet was fierce with the energies coming through.

She really took her time with me as she tuned in and gave what was needed.

She began with prayers and the drumming while bringing in all the guides and using light language.

I was purging so much of what needed to be released, then was shocked by how much was coming up to be cleared. It was so helpful with her magic touch and to see all my blind spots. She cleared out implants, thought patterns and distortions as well as memories of past partners in my field. I felt more energy in my body and the energy felt more clear for divine union.

I felt the divine guardians helping us and angelic energy, especially Melchizedek and the emerald dragons.

It was a very deep healing and I felt so much lighter.

A love interest also sent me a message in the middle of our session!

I was very grateful for such a powerful, beautiful session and for feeling much more secure with myself. Thank you!

Jennifer C

The last nine months have been beautiful, enlightening, empowering into shamanic practice. A deep dive into reconnecting to myself and the spirit of all things. Dawn is an inspiring and thoughtful teacher who weaves the magic of shamanism into a safe and supportive container for growth and learning. Developing these practices has changed my perspective, helping me to feel calmer in daily life, to be true to myself and to find out who I really am.

It's the adventure of a lifetime and I'd recommend this to anyone looking for more of a sense of meaning, fulfilment and magic in their lives!

The last 2 years have been the most transformative of my life, peeling back layers of trauma that has needed to be healed. Dawn creates a safe space where you are able to do the hard work including shadow work and inner child work, welcoming all parts of ourselves with an open heart and without judgement. If you are ready, then you couldn’t have a more supportive, beautiful, authentic, creative, knowledgeable teacher and guide than Dawn.
