the
Calling
You found your way here for a reason.
You’ve done the therapy. You’ve tried the tools. You’ve read the books.
And yet, something in you knows there is more.
Maybe you’ve been carrying wounds that traditional approaches haven't fully healed.
Maybe you’re feeling disconnected from your authentic self, stuck in cycles that no longer serve you.
Maybe you’re yearning to become who you know you are meant to be.
This is the ache. The knowing. This is your soul calling you home.
And if you are here, it’s because you’re ready.
Come home to yourself. It’s time.
The remembering
This 5 month journey is one of profound personal healing and transformation.
You'll journey beyond the limitations of your mind into the depths of your soul - where your truest self has been waiting.
You'll breathe with the rhythm of your own becoming.
This is soul-rooted, trauma-informed, life-changing work.
This is more than a training. More than a retreat.
This is a Remembering
This Is fOr yOu If...
You’re feeling the call to deepen your healing journey.
You’re tired of playing small, feeling stuck and carrying it all yourself.
You desire real transformation that actually lasts.
You long to be held in sacred circle, witnessed and supported.
You’re ready to say yes to your next evolution.
what is s.h.i.p?
The Shamanic Healing Initiatory Process (S.H.I.P.) is the first level of Shamanic Breathwork training and has evolved through decades of ceremony, breath, and initiatory wisdom. Shaped by a deep lineage of shamanic teachers and traditions, it's rooted in the life's work of Linda Star Wolf and the teachings of Venus Rising Association for Transformation.
This path isn't just taught. It's lived.
S.H.I.P is a complete immersion into Shamanic Breathwork, ceremony, and the 5 elements.
It's the first step to becoming a Shamanic Breathwork Facilitator - and a profound journey of personal transformation on its own. We must first walk the path ourselves before guiding others.
This is no ordinary voyage. You'll journey through 6 initiations, each one designed to meet you exactly where you are and guide you deeper into truth.
As an authorized Satellite of Venus Rising Association for Transformation, I’m honoured to bring you their Shamanic Breathwork Training (Level 1) and guide
you on this S.H.I.P. voyage. I'm excited to bring this sacred work to Portugal
for the first time.
this work
changed my life
I was the ultimate "doer" - PhD, CEO, always achieving, always on. I "did" myself into burnout, chronic illness, and traumatic brain injury.
I'd tried everything - therapy, medications, healing modalities. They all kept me in my head, talking about problems instead of actually healing them.
Shamanic Breathwork bypassed my mind completely. It took me straight into my body, my spirit, into truths I couldn't think my way to. But it wasn't easy - I had to face what I'd been avoiding, take radical accountability, and meet parts of myself I'd hidden.
I remembered who I was beneath all the doing. I discovered who I wanted to become.
That's why I'm passionate about bringing S.H.I.P. to others. If it could transform someone as stuck in her patterns as I was, it can transform anyone ready to face the truth and trust the process.
the voyage
This is a deep immersion into the spiral path of becoming.
You'll journey through layers of self, shadow, and soul to reclaim your authentic self.

-
The Spiral Path - We arrive in the waters of the womb, gestating. Water teaches us to be, to surrender the doing, to soften, nourish and receive. This is where we begin to understand the Spiral Path and awaken to Shamanic Consciousness.
-
Our Roots - Here we return to the roots we grew from - our family of origin, culture, systems and unconscious conditioning we inherited. We unearth who we were before the world told us who to be, releasing what no longer serves while honoring our lineage and what shaped us.
-
The Shadow - Here we meet the parts of ourselves we've hidden, disowned, denied. Fire doesn't judge, it burns. In an intense and cathartic initiation, we use the power of fire to burn away our patterns and release what no longer serves us to make space for something new. All of you is welcome here - beautiful, messy, raw, and true. A death. A rebirth. A turning point.
-
The Beloved - After the shedding, we open. Spirit invites us into connection with ourselves, with each other, and with something greater. We meet our inner beloved and expand our capacity for self-love. We touch the great mystery and remember we are never alone.
-
Sacred Purpose - Now ready to soar, air lifts us into a bird's eye view. It offers perspective, vision, and clarity of purpose. This is where the threads come together - remembering who you are, why you're here, and your sacred purpose in the world.
-
Activating Your Future Self - After the elements, there is one final initiation. Imaginal cells are the blueprint of the butterfly - a future self already encoded within. This is where we consciously reassemble. The old has dissolved. The new is ready to emerge and fly.

After three decades as an overachiever, burnout and a near fatal accident brought me to my knees - and ultimately called me home to myself. What began as survival became a sacred reclamation.I'm a Shamanic Breathwork Master Practitioner and Ordained Minister with Venus Rising, where I serve as Core Staff and run an authorized global Satellite. I'm accredited by the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance, trained as an Advanced Trauma Specialist (TRTP) and hold a Doctorate of Shamanic Psychospiritual Studies.
Beyond the credentials, I know this work because I live it. I don't stand above you - I walk beside you as someone who's been through the fire and returned with medicine. As someone who continues to grow and evolve alongside you.
You'll be supported by myself and a dedicated team throughout your journey.
The healer is within. I'm just here to help you remember.

our sanctuary
The Shanti Space
Nestled in a beautiful woodland valley, just 30 minutes from Lisbon and 15 minutes from Ericeira beach, The Shanti Space is our exclusive sanctuary for this S.H.I.P voyage.
This family-run eco-retreat is surrounded by native forest, lush organic gardens, the soothing sounds of birdsong - and if we're lucky, perhaps the howling of wolves from their sanctuary next door. This is an oasis to reconnect offering plenty of space to wander nature trails alone or be surrounded by a loving community together.
Here the land feels alive - sharing its wisdom, surrounded by the elements and holding space for your transformation.
nourishment
Included in your journey are three meals a day - vibrant, healthy, plant-based, and gluten-free. Dishes are prepared with love by our dedicated team using fresh seasonal ingredients, organic wherever possible, sometimes picked straight from the garden. Nourishment for your body and soul. Simply receive - we've got you covered.

frequently asked questions
-
Absolutely! S.H.I.P. is designed to meet you exactly where you are. Many participants are new to breathwork. The beauty of this process is that your body already knows how to breathe and heal - we simply create the safe container for that wisdom to emerge. You are welcome here!
-
Both paths are absolutely welcome! Some people know from the start they want to become facilitators, others come purely for their own healing and transformation, and many discover their calling along the way.
You can decide whether to continue to Level 2 Facilitator training at a later date. Fair warning though - one of the common side effects of S.H.I.P. is "a sudden urge to become a facilitator and share this medicine with the world."
Whether you're here to find yourself or guide others, this is where your journey begins.
-
Unlike traditional therapy that keeps you in your head, Shamanic Breathwork takes you beyond your thinking mind into embodied truth. It's common for people to say "that was like years of therapy in one session."
What makes it different:Individualized - You move, express, and release in whatever way feels true for you
Embodied - Your body knows what it needs; we follow its wisdom
Systematic - Each initiation builds on the last for lasting transformation
All parts welcome - Your rage, grief, joy, and everything in between
Soul family - You're held by a lifelong community who truly understands you. Join the wolfpack, we are waiting for you.
Shamanic Breathwork gets you out of patterns you can't analyze or talk your way through.
-
Upon completion of S.H.I.P., you'll graduate as a Shamanic Breathwork Initiate through Venus Rising Association for Transformation. This is Level 1 of the Shamanic Breathwork certification pathway - the first half of the Facilitator training program.
You'll also have the option to be ordained as a Shamanic Minister.
Level 1 focuses on your own healing and transformation - you must walk the path before guide others on it. As Star Wolf says, "The healing is the training, and the training is the healing."
As a Level 1 graduate, you can practice with friends and family (making it clear you're in training, not for payment) and are eligible to continue to Level 2 - Facilitator Skills training to become a fully certified Shamanic Breathwork Facilitator.
You cannot guide others professionally until you complete both levels.
-
Yes! Trust Yourself.
-
You will be fully held and supported every step of the way. Your journey begins the moment you sign up and doesn't end when the intensive weeks do.
Before Training: You'll receive a comprehensive welcome pack with all logistical details, mental and spiritual preparation guidance, required reading, and immediate access to your WhatsApp group to start connecting with your community.
Between Training Weeks: Monthly Zoom integration calls, the 30 Shamanic Questions process, and continuous community support as you integrate and embody the work.
After Training: A follow-up integration call one month later is included, with optional ongoing monthly calls available as an add-on program. You'll also have ongoing WhatsApp community access and will have gained a soul tribe who truly understands your experience and will support your continued evolution.
This extended container allows for deeper integration of your transformation as you live the work in your daily life. The real magic happens in how you embody these shifts long after the formal training ends.
-
Shamanic Breathwork is profoundly healing for many conditions that traditional approaches struggle with. While there are some medical contraindications we need to discuss (cardiovascular conditions, seizures, pregnancy, etc.), the beautiful truth is that this work often helps with the very things people worry might exclude them - trauma, anxiety, depression, and other physical and mental health conditions. All of you is welcome here. We work together to adapt the process for your safety and healing, and at each stage of the journey you're empowered to go at your own pace. If you have any concerns you'd like to discuss before registering, please email me at jane@janeanthony.com.
