“We should not be so surprised at the intimate link between ourselves and growing things. Our bodies offer a parallel to the biological structure of plants in several ways. We both have a vascular system (our blood their sap); they are affected by the pull of the moon, as are not only the tides but the movement of cytoplasm in our own bodies; we, too, respond to warmth and cold. We are dependent on water. When we think of plants, we feel empathy.”
~ Marjorie Harris

"I offer a place where women can Be-gin again, and come back Home"
~ Catherine Beerda-Basso
"Shaenalach Retreats, and Catherine, gave me a renewed faith in women, sisterhood and spirit...a renewed faith in myself...
something that I wasn't sure was possible!"
-Jen, Maple Ridge Spring 2019
"With every Retreat, my trust and willingness to open up, even the darkest of secrets, keeps getting bigger and bigger. The risk is higher and the benefits - the love and the healing - erase those risks. Leaving me feeling only love, safety and compassion at these retreats, which only get better and richer."
-Angela, Port Coquitlam Spring 2019
I had never been to a retreat like this before and I was graciously accepted with open arms and hearts. I did not know any of the other women, only Catherine. I needed so badly a reconnect and I received that and more. My biggest take away is the realization of the self love and self healing that I have within me
and am in control of. -Sara, Summer Land Spring 2019

*One on One & Couples sessions*
“Sometimes people just need to talk. They need to be heard. they need the validation of my time, my silence, my unspoken compassion. They don't need advice, sympathy or counselling. They need to hear the sound of their own voices speaking their own truths, articulating their own feelings, as those may be at a particular moment. Then, when they're finished, they simply need a nod of the head, a pat on the shoulder or a hug. I'm learning that sometimes silence really is golden, and that sometimes "Fuck, eh?" is as spiritual a thing as needs to be said.”― Richard Wagamese

Catherine’s one on one sessions are beautifully profound. She uses a vast collection of healing tools that seem to access my whole self. With the variety of sound, talk, journey, crystals, decks and her own wisdom, my troubles are addressed from every direction.A few days after a one on one with Catherine, I received ‘Medicine from our session,’ via email, containing valuable information from our session and suggested practices to continue the healing. Her one on ones are more than just 90 mins with her, she has set them up to offer continued support through life. I always feel heard, held, cared for and set up for success with Catherine.

Catherine's one on one sessions are food for the soul. There is no doubt that spirit is working with and through her to heal at the deepest possible level. Her intuition, love and shamanic way leaves you feeling enlightened, seen and held. My soul is recharged after every session and am left with a deeper knowing of myself and spirit. Best thing I've done for myself! ! ~ Jennifer (Hair stylist / mother)

Catherine uses the sacred sounds of the drum, singing bowl, and rattle to transport you on a journey within the depths of your soul. Having one on one sessions with her has allowed me to dig deep and do my self-work in a supported, loving, safe space. I am grateful to call Catherine my wise elder and healer.
~Jillian (Teacher / Maiden)
"Catherine's energy gives you this comfort where you get to be completely raw without any judgement. She speaks from her soul, her one on one sessions have done so much for me in my own healing and life! If your seeking that place where you can fall apart or simply want to journey your highest self and hear divine, then Catherine is that person to hold the space for you!
I am so grateful to have her in part of my own healing journey
~ Cecilia (Intuitive/ reiki master / marketing manager / mother )

*Sitting as a couple allowed a safe and comfortable space to be heard and felt from one another where we were able to feel each other’s energy during journey & be able to share through communication. ~ Jeff and Cecilia

*Her perspective: I’ve been seeing Catherine one on one for the last year on my own and have made deep strides with healing years’ worth of stagnant pain, belief systems and have deepened the relationship I have with myself in incalculable ways. This in turn has definitely rippled into my relationship with my partner and we decided to see Catherine together for a couple’s session. Not only was it beneficial for our emotional communication but it also helped my partner touch in with some ways to deepen his spiritual practice and to voice his feelings more freely. We both deeply grateful and will definitely go again.
His perspective: I received a warm greeting from Catherine who welcomed us inside. Although I had never attended any type of couple’s work, Catherine created a comfortable, safe environment putting me at ease almost immediately. I felt a balance as Catherine engaged with us individually and together. Her positive disposition enabled both of us to remain engaged through the entire process. There is a genuine light that Catherine emits that encouraged me to embrace the holistic process. The realizations I discovered remain with me. I certainly feel our session has improved the quality of our relationship and made us even closer. I am so grateful to Catherine and wholeheartedly think her sessions would benefit any couple wishing to look further within their relationship. ~ Kim And Sean
