Thundereater is a member of the indigenous Shasta Nation, White Eagle Clan. A 65-year old great grandfather, he has lived a very full life including serving in the US military abroad, working with plant medicines and many trainings in the realms of spirituality and healing. Most recently, by trade, he is a stone mason, and the visionary and creator of the Sacred Land’s magical Labyrinth.

As a Native American and Tibetan shaman, Thundereater has spent the last 20 years facilitating full moon healing circles at Mt. Shasta, California bringing together people of different cultures and religious frames of reference to promote the Peace and Healing of all.

Thundereater’s ancestors came to this Sacred Land (Ashland, Oregon) to heal to heal with the Hi-U-Skookum medicine, and he came to this land to play as a child. He has now returned as an Elder to help usher in the next iteration of the land’s journey and help preserve it as a place of healing for all in perpetuity.

Arin brings over a Arin brings over a decade of experience in professional psychedelic settings, from indigenous South American traditions to modern North American underground communities to industry leading psilocybin-assisted therapy centers.

However, what makes Arin truly qualified to support individuals in their personal practice with plant medicine is her own deeply embodied experience and commitment to her own personal practice. In addition to over 10 years of personal psychedelic experience with various plant teachers, within the last decade Arin has spent thousands of hours in intensive retreat and has studied with masters from the Peruvian Andes to the Nepalese Himalayas to the foothills of Northern India.

As a lifelong student of transformation Arin has also trained in some of the most effective integration-focused and consciousness-altering modalities from yoga, breathwork and meditation to coaching, somatic embodiment and various psychotherapeutic systems. She is also a devoted lifelong student-practitioner of Eastern nondual yoga.

In addition to bringing professional experience as a Certified Coach, Yoga Therapist, Reiki Master and psilocybin facilitator, Arin anchors her approach to transformation in the notion that one's dreams and desires are bound for inevitable fulfillment.

A notion poetically expressed by Danish author Karen Blixen:

“Nobody has seen the trekking birds take their way towards such warmer spheres as do not exist, or rivers break their course through rocks and plains to run into an ocean which is not to be found. For God does not create a longing or a hope without having a fulfilling reality ready for them. But our longing is our pledge, and blessed are the homesick, for they shall come home.”

Arin sees her primary role as a coach as simply supporting folks in stoking this fire of their deepest longings and coming home to themselves.
