Remembrance
Private Shamanic Retreats
and
Transformational Intensives
Santa Fe, New Mexico
Some things are best in person.
There are moments when you need to get away from your ordinary environment, routines, and the version of yourself that those things reinforce — and do something that actually interrupts the pattern at a deeper level.
A Remembrance Retreat is a private shamanic retreat – one to five days of fully immersive, private, one-on-one work with me on sacred land outside Santa Fe. You will be held and worked with in a powerful container. You leave with something shifted that would have taken months to move any other way.
This is for the moment when you know you need more than a session. When something big needs attention. When your authentic expression is rising, and it most needs to be held with care. When you are ready to do it in person, in depth, with full focus.
You will receive personalized practices based on our discoveries together, a deeper connection to yourself and your guides, and energetic and shamanic training that is best done in longer form experiences.
We also plan time for you to rest, journal, see the sites, or experience authentic New Mexican food.

We can schedule our work alongside time for you to see clients or focus on your writing, and our meetings can be directly in service of your focus during your time here.
Where We Work - Your Private Shamanic Retreat Space Santa Fe
Our work takes place on beautiful, private sacred land outside Santa Fe, surrounded by the high desert landscape of New Mexico. I live walking distance to the Rio Gande and in the middle of lands still held by their original indigenous peoples. Tall trees flourish in this special valley. The land itself is part of the medicine.
You will have a private studio apartment with a separate entrance, a full kitchen, a full bath with a tub, an office space, and a patio for taking in the starry skies. I am 30 minutes north of Santa Fe, 90 minutes from Albuquerque International Airport, and 45 minutes from Ojo Caliente Hot Springs Spa.
You will be nourished with homemade food and options for self-catering and dining at restaurants.
If you prefer, you can stay at a nearby hotel or Airbnb and come out each day — I will still feed you lunch. In some cases, I am able to travel to you.
This is For You If...
You are a healer, therapist, practitioner, coach, or medicine facilitator who needs dedicated time and space to do your own deep work.
You are in the middle of a significant awakening, transition, or life change and need more than online sessions can offer.
You have been through medicine experiences that opened something significant, and you need skilled, in-person support to integrate and stabilize what emerged.
You feel a call toward something — a book, a body of work, a new level of service — and something is still in the way or just needs more space and attention.
You want to understand, open, and stabilize your channel and intuitive gifts in person, with hands-on support.
You are called to plant medicine work but want individual support instead of a group setting.
You are ready to stop circling the thing and move through it.

Meet Your Guide
Katherine Bird
Katherine Bird is a shamanic and energetic medicine practitioner, channel, somatic guide, and mentor with over 20 years of practice and a decade of teaching channeling and intuitive development specifically.
Her approach is grounded and animistic — rooted in the understanding that life moves through all things, and that genuine spiritual development means deepening your relationship with that life through real skill, embodied practice, and honest self-knowledge. She draws from Daoist internal alchemy, Medical Qi Gong, shamanic and animist traditions, somatic practice, and esoteric study.
She works with healers, therapists, coaches, and medicine facilitators who are ready to go beyond their training, and with those in the middle of awakening who need a guide who can actually meet them where they are.
Author of The Healer’s Process and The Healer’s Process Practice Manual
She is based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
