A Sacred Weekend to Know and Live Your Authentic Self

Feb 28, 2026 10:13PM ● By Jerome Bilaos

Soul Shamanism Training–A Weekend With Your Soul, guided by Shaman Janet StraightArrow, will be held from May 29 through 31 at the Himalayan Institute Yoga Center, in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. This three-day, two-night immersive retreat invites participants into an ancient Siberian practice designed to help them know exactly who they are and why they are here now, experiencing themselves on both grounded human and spiritual levels.

Throughout the weekend, attendees will engage in advanced awareness practices, healing, clearing and manifesting work as they release patterns that interfere with living authentically. Participants will explore the “Spirit Lake,” meet their Soul—known as the Spirit Twin—and begin aligning body and Soul in a way that fosters clarity, empowerment and unconditional self-connection.  

“Imagine learning a direct process to know exactly who you are and why you are here now,” says StraightArrow. “From this day forward, you will never feel alone.”

Designed for healers, teachers, therapists, coaches, yogis and dedicated seekers, the training includes new levels of teaching, a Soul Shamanism Divine Playbook, recorded practices, post-retreat Zoom integration sessions and access to an ongoing practitioner community.

Cost: $695; payment due by May 1. Visit BeTheMedicine.com for details or to register. See ad, page 9.
