Words from previous Apprentices
Briona S - 2023
“The moment I felt spirit call me into this journey, and direct me to finding my teachers I came into the hands of two incredible women who embody everything they teach. In all the work I’ve done, courses and programs I’ve taken, and self study with endless books the wealth of wisdom I have received here truly cannot compare. Their confidence supported my confidence, their trust supported my own trust, their individual skills and gifts enhanced my own. Teri and Sam helped me step up into an aspect of my inner warrior that I hid for a long time. They will meet you where you are, and show you how to guide yourself into your true potential using your medicine, power, and gifts in a profound and sacred way. They are inspiring in every sense of the word, and I feel very honored to be taught by them among a carefully selected group of fellow apprentices who helped mirror my growth. This apprenticeship held me through immense growing pains, all of which has made me stronger as a person and a practitioner. I am so fortunate this space was created for those who feel called to this path, it will be everything your soul truly needs.”

“As someone who is over analytical and cynical, I have always approached anything spiritual with a huge level of skepticism. Trust me, you don’t need to second guess yourself with this apprenticeship. It is hand on heart, one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Teri and Sammy couldn’t have been better mentors – they are without doubt the most authentic and gifted elders you could possibly wish for. I had substantial issues connecting to spirit and journeying at the beginning and they tirelessly nurtured me and helped me forge my talents and shamanic capabilities. Both Teri and Sammy are so generous in spirit and their time – they intuitively know when you need encouragement and spur you on – at other times expertly holding space allowing you to realize your own solutions and path which is so spiritually gratifying when you start to recognize your own gifts. The apprenticeship will undoubtedly challenge you, push you to new heights and connect you to your higher self and assist you in realizing your Shamanic potential. I genuinely loved each and every minute – the classes, the one-on-ones, the guest lectures, the exercises and assignments and the especially the sacred space Teri and Sammy crafted and sustained in which we could spread our wings and become who we are truly meant to be. I am forever grateful for this course, the teachers, my fellow apprentices and the memories and learning that I was afforded by this apprenticeship. Thank you, thank you, thank you…”

“This apprenticeship is beyond what I expected. In addition to helping me better understand spiritual interconnectedness, I understand now more what it means to live in my authenticity.
Teri and Sammy are skilled mentors who are following ancient traditions in helping their apprentices grow. They are both such amazing, remarkable, caring teachers. They are gifted and complement each other well. They welcomed and even encouraged us to ask questions. They challenged us, but also had the capacity to see when we weren’t understanding or needed a little help.
As a result of the apprenticeship, I have so many tools to keep growing, as well as a better understanding of myself. I embrace these lessons and see the world differently. From this foundation, I’m capable of continuing on my spiritual path. I’m walk the world stronger because of this apprenticeship, because of Teri and Sammy.
During the apprenticeship, I felt a sense of community with my fellow apprentices. I genuinely looked forward to seeing them, Teri and Sammy every Saturday. They all have a place in my heart now.”
