Welcome
Shaenalach
(traditionally spelt Tenalach, pronounced Shaenalach)
is one of 5 untranslatable words about nature.
It is a word used in the hills and mountains of west Ireland, and reflects the relationship one has with the earth elements:
air * fire * water * earth
It is a deep and sacred connection that all living things share with each other and Mother Earth.
I am honoured and grateful to welcome you into this sacred and healing space.
My prayer is that you find what you seek.
Love Light and Shadow.

“The world will know and understand me someday. But if that day does not arrive,
it does not greatly matter. I shall have opened the way for other women.” ― George Sand

How I got here ~I have come to see and experienced that the natural rhythms of The Earth hold and offer us the wisdom and healing that we seek. She holds the knowledge of our purpose here, our connection to the Divine and all Living things, and is a source of healing, guidance and renewal. Within this way of life I heard a call from my ancestors to ignite and hold this space Shaenalach Retreats; a place to
listen, learn and heal, and I answered that call. I lived in the South-West-Coast rainforest of British Columbia, Canada. I am an Elder, Mother, Wife, Sister, Daughter, Auntie, Friend who is learning to live with her willing and open heart. I walk the path of Earth Medicine, working with the Compassionate Spirits to bring guidance and healing to myself, and those who sit with me. My role is to create and hold healing space, while assisting those who are searching for their own answers, their own connection to Life, The Great Mystery, and them-Selves. Please note: my services are not a replacement for clinical or cognitive treatments, but rather an enhancement in which the spiritual becomes a part the healing journey. |

My Commitment

"I choose to walk alongside The Sacred, the Mystery, The Magic.
Answering The Call, I live and breathe in Holy Skin I claim mySelf as Sacred Space and see you as the same. I walk with my staff in one hand and a lantern raised, in the other." -CBB |
“All illnesses, whether physical, emotional, or psychological, stem from an illness of Spirit. It may be due to soul loss, psychic intrusions, ancestral karma, or any other spiritual causes that could be contributing to the manifest condition for which you seek help. Whatever other methodologies or remedies you pursue, whether allopathic, alternative, or a combination, let the healing of your spirit be your priority. Know that the deepest spiritual wound is the illusion of being separate from Source, God, Great Spirit, or whatever name you give the Creator.
It is the trick of the mind that creates this sense of separation. "
