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 beings
share with each other and Mother Earth.
*
It is my belief and experience that the Earth holds and offers healing for us all.
She holds the wisdom of our purpose here, our connection to the Divine and is a source of
healing, guidance and rejuvenation.
Within this way of life
I heard a call to ignite and hold this space
Shaenalach Retreats...
a place to listen, learn and heal...
and I answered that call.
I am Catherine Beerda-Basso,
Earth Medicine Practitioner, Spiritual Activist,
Author and Photographer
learning to live with my willing and open heart.
I walk between worlds holding Love in one hand and Grief in the other,
teaching others to do the same.
Here in the Sacred of Shaenalach Healing I hold space for myself and
others to activate healing and thrive.
I am deeply passionate about Healing...
Healing in the way of embracing the human, honouring the stories
and living the life-death-life cycle.
I have experienced and witnessed, that by doing so,
we bring healing to the past, present and future.
And by Healing Self we Heal The World...

My role is to hold healing space for those who are searching for their own answers, their own connection to The Great Mystery, and their Selves.
My "work" is to cleanse, clear and clean as we navigate
your healing and restorative journey.
I do this by working with my Animal and Spirit Guides,
Talk Therapy and Sacred Sound.
I do not represent any specific religion, spirituality or following.
I see "The Soul/Heart Journey" to be extremely personal and sacred.
I choose not to label it as I find labeling causes separation and segregation.
I move within the Love Light and Shadow around us.
and assist others to do the same.
I tailor to the needs of each individual
and where they are at as best I can;
whether you are new to soul work and your spiritual journey
or someone who is convicted in a specific practice or way of life.
It would be an honour to come along side you,
as you deepen your healing and your relationship with Life, Love, Light and Shadow..
Please note: If you are already in the care of a medical doctor or a psychiatrist,
my services are not a replacement for these treatments,
but rather an enhancement in which the spiritual
is invited in and added to the healing journey.
Love, Light, and Wisdom...

“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.
This is a time for deep healing, starting with your relationship with Spirit. Call upon your spirit guides and ancestors to help you with any emotional, mental, or physical healing that you need. Call upon the Creator to assist you in mending any rift in your relationship with Spirit. Choose thoughts that support wholeness and well-being. Allow any darker thoughts or shadows to appear as well, but simply observe them as they arise in consciousness, then dissolve. See yourself as healed, whole and complete, and it shall be.”
