About Spiral Dance Ranch:

Spiral Dance Ranch is 26 acres of sacred land dedicated to healing in the South Texas Hill Country. The property has a natural ability to draw from us that which we are ready to let go of, and fill us with its life force energy that pulsates throughout. Here, the elements are potent, the channels to receive the guidance needed are clear, and the land has a way of knowing exactly what is needed for our healing. These canyons are ancient gathering grounds for tribes indigenous to this region, and stewardship of this land is something we honor deeply. Spiral Dance Ranch is located in the Sabinal Canyon and is blessed with the fresh-water from the Sabinal River. 

Accessibility: 

The main building at the ranch has stairs which Initiates use often to access the Grateful Hall for sessions. There is no internet or cell phone service in the canyon- a landline phone is available in case of emergency.   

What is the Shamanic Healing Initiatory Process, aka S.H.I.P.? 

S.H.I.P. is a cycle of transformative teachings and initiations that offers a path to shape-shift from the old paradigms of linear thinking to the reemergence of an ancient symbol for alchemical transformation, the spiral.

Linda Star Wolf, founder of Venus Rising and co-creator of S.H.I.P. shares,

“There are five very distinct archetypal cycles of healing and change that we all experience in our everyday lives. Each cycle has a distinct mood, feeling, and set of identifiable characteristics that distinguish it from others. These five cycles act as keys that open our psyches to a deeper understanding of our inner terrain as we move through change. The five cycles provide a map of alchemical transformation that clearly illuminates both positive and shadow aspects of our psyches.

By gaining a better understanding of the element connected to the cycle you are currently negotiating, you will be better able to embrace the characteristics of that element and utilize it as a guide during your process.”

At our Autumn Equinox retreat celebration, we will be exploring The Shadow & Inner Beloved.

During The Shadow – Fire Initiation initiates learn how to discover and integrate parts of themselves that may be repressed, or hidden from conscious awareness. Initiates explore how to identify and navigate fire or death & rebirth levels of transformation during periods of healing and change. 

The Inner Beloved – Spirit Initiation guides initiates to open up to their own divinity, their spirit, and inner beloved. Initiates learn how to identify and navigate spirit or surrender cycles during periods of healing and change. 

The Shamanic Breathwork® Process is a powerful transformational tool that we use during S.H.I.P. These journeys include safe, sacred space for ceremony, breath techniques, activating chakra-attuned music, focused bodywork and artistic expression followed by community sharing.
