...“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.”

"I offer a place where women can Begin, and come Home to Self"
~ Catherine Beerda-Basso

"Reclaiming my primal voice enhanced my feeling of connection with the ancestors. It deepened my commitment to continuing to listen to them. The Celtic mythical stories presented resonate with me and offered you wisdom/clarity/guidance. Even months later, I find myself going back to these stories to illustrate a point. I don't feel it's overstating to say that it is life-changing. You will feel the presence of magic." Ginny, Edmonton Alberta

What does it mean to me to reclaim my primal voice? 
To me it means listening to that voice that has been with me from the day I was born. That voice that knows only what my spirit and soul needs with out any help from my ego. It is my heart that is speaking and to be able to know it when it speaks and trust in it fully and completely. What resonated most with me during this retreat was the ahha moments that I had. Circling with other women and bearing witness to their stories and truths allowed me to listen fully to myself. Catherine consistently studies and walks her talk. Her circles in which she chooses to study are amazing. I want other women to know that Catherine holds great sacred space. She casts no judgment whatsoever, and I feel so safe, nourished and loved. If you haven't been to a Shaenalach Retreat before, I highly suggest you save your money and attend one. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

"The first most meaningful piece for me was that Catherine SAW how much this was needed in my life. This is a knowing that she is so gifted with. The biggest take-away was renewal of my continued commitment to Self and doing the healing work. My commitment to prioritize Self Care, more time in Circle, and to keep working towards learning all I can in order to offer healing to others in some regard. These retreats are so much more than what the heart can imagine. The care & content that goes into Cat's retreats cannot be measured. I have sat with a few different Medicine Keepers over the years....and Catherine is an EXCEPTIONAL Earth Medicine Practitioner. Not only is she warm and real, but also won't hesitate to give you the straight goods. Something I value in people and treasure in her." Kim, Surrey B.C.

"Catherine is all heart and Spirit. She
nurtures me, she listens with truth and she has an unbelievable wisdom
that makes me want to refer to her as Grandmother. Catherine  practices deep and it shows as it is felt, which has helped me re-connect with my Spirit. 
Catherine has helped me to connect deeply to these pieces of me which
shouldn’t be locked away or shamed. These elements of me need to be
honored and celebrated, and I want them all, the vibrant, the hurt and
the messy. Things are shifting. I’m shifting. Sometimes it’s slow, and
sometimes it happens in warp speed, nevertheless, whatever way the
shifts arise, I am embracing them all." ~ Marlee Dawn (designer/single mother)

"Catherine has a big generous heart & laugh.  She made me feel at ease talking of things that are often hard to talk about.She helped me see that I have more power & control over my life than I realized.  Catherine gently guided me see that I am even more loved
and supported by the spirit realm than I imagined.  I loved that she uses so many different tools for our sessions together, talking, drumming, journey work, rattles, cards.  It all blends so easily together.  I  highly recommend working with Cat if you feel that need for help on your journey through life." ~Isabella (artist/single mother)

Catherine sees who I am and accepts me. She speaks to my soul and helps me find that which is already within myself. ~Billie (lawyer/entrepreneur/mother)
*
When I'm with Catherine I feel seen and heard for who I really am.  She encourages me to live my authentic self, to be bold and fierce!  She has a beautiful gift for holding space / circles for others.  When I sit in these circles, I experience a great sense of nurturing, community and sisterhood ~Arlana (wellness worker/mother)

My process as an Earth Medicine Practitioner is held within the container of
The Shamanic Way.
*Shamanism is world's oldest healing tradition,  and is found in all cultures on Earth*
Built on this foundation I use different tools, modalities and elements
to assist my clients in their healing process.
I am guided by Spirit and
work with an Elemental Spiritual Team.
I include interactive, practical instruction that invites the participant to
actively engage in their own journey.
I am a believer in showing up for ones Self and discovering your own unique connection to Spirit/God/The Creator...
inviting the client to discover the healing power
that they, themSelves, hold within.

but rather an enhancement in which the spiritual realm
is invited into the healing journey.
