Boulder Canyon Retreat Center

Boulder Canyon Retreat Center I’m a mind-body-spirit alchemist, teacher, healer, and shaman.

Nestled in the ancient granite cradle of Boulder Canyon, the Boulder Canyon Retreat Center is a nature-based living sanctuary where transformation and healing unfolds through use of sacred plant medicine and the framework of classical Tantra. In order to be fully alive in the present, we must sometimes excavate the stories and patterns from our past. I help create and deepen awareness of the conne

ction between the mind, body and spirit through an alchemical process using earth, water, fire and air... Alchemizing and mining the riches of what we might consider stuck emotions. Past events and old patterns now become rich raw materials to alchemize and thrust us forward into the best and fullest version of ourselves.

Inner Fire Retreat • July 9-12 🔥

Most of us have an aliveness that wants to move..
PASSION, POWER, PLAY.

Maybe you feel a spark -an idea, a desire, a pull -

and then it gets cooled by doubt.

you negotiate yourself out of it. you tighten. you wait. It’s the ways you’ve learned to stay safe, stay liked, stay in control.

We’re working with the third chakra (the belly center, where inner fire lives).

Did you see the moon last night?!

Almost full, bright and big! Tonight is the actual Full Moon—and it’s a Blue Moon (the second Full Moon in one month, only every 2½–3 years - last time this happened was August, 2023).

This Sagittarius Full Moon stirs movement, honesty, and the courage to widen your horizon.
Swipe to find your sign. Let it be simple: a few lines of perspective, and a direction to walk in.

Affirmation to carry with you:

“I expand my vision as if sitting on a mountain top, taking time to see where I have been, and perceiving the journey ahead. I find what, or who, is uplifting and inspiring to guide me forward.”

🌙 We thank astrologer, Susan Heinz, for this wisdom about tonight’s full moon. Learn more at susanheinz.com

The body is always reading its environment. In modern life, many of us spend our days surrounded by noise, speed, concrete, screens, artificial light, and subtle overstimulation. These conditions can keep the nervous system braced without us even realizing it.

Nature sends a very different message. It tells the body that it can soften and tells the breath that it can deepen. It tells the heart that it is safe to feel again, and the psyche that it can remember its place within something far larger than itself.

There is a reason so many people feel something begin to shift the moment they arrive on the sacred land of Boulder Canyon Retreat Center... find out in the full blog, here: https://www.bouldercanyonretreat.com/blog-1

May is about grounding, boundaries, and steady truth—building a calm life you can actually live in.

Bull medicine feels like boots on earth and a clear spine.
Not loud. Not performative. Just honest.

Your voice carries power when it comes from integrity, when you stop shaping your truth for approval.

We open the ceremony with a heart rattle, that was generously gifted by a very special participant; and chant—invoking the primordial sound of the universe, then offering a powerful series of bija (seed) sounds to call in the Great Goddess in her many forms.

The energy of the New Moon in Ta**us is deep and steady, holding the beauty and wisdom of nature. If you are wanting to stabilize a project now is the time to set your intention! 

Ta**us is ‘get your fingers in the dirt (or paint)’, feel yourself part of nature, create beauty and comfort all around.

Ta**us resonates with harmony and the through the senses, seeks to create and bring fruitfulness to what it plants and grows.

This Ta**us New Moon aligns with Mercury in Ta**us, sending messages to us to slow and listen.

The planetary ruler of this Ta**us Moon is Venus, which is now in Gemini. In Gemini, it speaks of harmonizing polarities, of being the eager to study what your soul is longing to learn

WOW.

What a weekend of deep learnings and nascent transformation.

Here’s a full note we received (shared with gratitude):

“I’ll start with WOW. What a weekend of deep learnings and nascent transformation. I will be back because I’ve only just begun! I so appreciate the container of safety and guidance that Shane created. He gave me wings to soar and see from on high the parts of me that have been pushed down.”

If you’re feeling the pull toward deeper work—and you want to explore what a next step could look like—Shane offers a free 1:1 discovery session.
