The Wheel Of Life

An Eight-Month Mentorship In Cross-Cultural Shamanism & Soul-Led Service.

Awaken To Your Destiny! Bring Yourself To LIFE!

Calling on the way showers, the sacred rebels, and the light barriers.

Those wild hearts who are ready to say yes to their destiny and their soul’s calling, who feel the pull to step into their medicine shoes and embrace the totality of their being.

Those who are ready to witness themselves with eagle vision, their darkest shadows and brightest lights, and weave them together to create the fabric of their wholeness.

We will meet in person over four weekends, one for each of the four cardinal directions.

This eight-month mentorship will guide you through the fires of self-transformation. The pedagogy is experiential learning, faith-based in experience.

Each weekend will be an immersion into initiations and shamanic processes guided by the gatekeeper of the corresponding direction. For each direction, we will gather over 3 days, with mentorship continuing between gatherings.

This is not a retreat!

It is for the brave souls who are ready to say YES to their highest destiny line by calling back the lost pieces of self & soul and rise into the sight of the heart.

The South – The Healer’s Journey

Here we have the serpent archetype and the element of Water, from which we draw inspiration to shed the past and detach from soul wounds as an act of power and love. We let go of our grip and surrender to the flow of the divine, initiating our rise of awareness. The students receive their first rites, the transmission to grow their healer’s hands and rainbow medicine body.

The West – The Warrior’s Journey

In the west, we meet Jaguar, who teaches about life, death and rebirth. We gather our courage and face our fears by learning about love and radical forgiveness. We embark on the journey of living with impeccability and stepping across the rainbow bridge, walking as warriors without enemies in this life or the next. Here, we receive the seeds for the rites of guardians and keepers of the earth.

The North – The Teacher’s Journey

Here we meet Hummingbird, who teaches us that we are enough. We learn to taste knowledge directly, to manifest the impossible, and to receive ancestral wisdom. We call in the mountains and come to know our lineage. Here, we receive the seeds for the rites of the keepers of mountains.

The East – The Visionaries Journey

The Visionary’s Journey is our last direction and final gathering of the East, we explore Eagle, who teaches us about destiny and daring to go where we have not gone before. We also learn how to see with our hearts and create a vision of peace. Here, we receive the seeds for the rites of the star beings.

Become A Full Mesa Carrier

The fundamental nature of this Wheel of Life is based in Peruvian Mountain Shamanism.

Mountain shamanism is a connection to the land, the waters and the mountains that is formed through direct experience. We learn to listen to the spirits of the land and allow our lives to become nature-informed. Through this listening, we open a dialogue with the spirits of the land, the Nustas, wise ones that rest in the mountains and the waters. We learn to offer before we recieve, to come into Ayni (right relationship and reciprocity), remembering that everything is connected and that what we offer will return to us.

When we heal ourselves, this ripples out into our families, communities, and all our relations.

The work of the mountain shaman is personal and collective.

Your connection to the land will strengthen as you build your mesa, as you walk the land you will weave a web, golden threads called ceke lines, connecting you and your mesa to the earth and the wise ones that wait for you there.

The Wheel of Life is a map of the sacred, used cross-culturally to teach and offer guidance in healing and reclaiming connection to the natural world and to all our relations.

This training delivers initiation processes for personal transformation and leadership through nurturing the innate relationships with the lands, the unseen and Spirit. Participants learn energy work through direct experience, self-referencing and embodied listening to refine (reclaim) intuition, power, wisdom and love.

We build a mesa: a heart altar/power bundle of healing stones and through this apprenticeship explore medicine practices including ceremonial fires, journeying, shamanic breathing and yoga. We honour the teachings of the mesa as they were passed forward from the medicine people of the Andean mountains.

Shamanic Yoga is the ancient teachings and technologies of Yoga placed within the sacred space of Shamanic Medicine. Weaving in nature, archetypes, mantra, mudras and the Wisdom of cycles to evoke transformation guides the practice. The heart of Shamanic Yoga is embracing and remembering the essence of who you are in connection to all.

The work has a global, collective impact and enhances the capacity to be available to your call, leadership, and destiny.

Land Acknowledgment

Honoring Syilx Territory

Land Acknowledgement

I acknowledge with a moment of silence the impact of patriarchy and colonization on the indigenous people, the medicine peoples, the land and the waters and all that has been lost due to appropriation, racism, exploitation, oppression, abuse and forgetting.

I respectfully acknowledge that the land we will gather on is the traditional unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan Nation.

We will gather in what is now colonized as Summerland, BC.

I express my gratitude for the privilege of being on this land, and commit to fostering respectful relationships with the Indigenous peoples of this region as we continue to learn from and support their communities.

A portion of the earnings of these trainings is given to an Indigenous Organization that is directly supporting the at-risk people of these lands.

Spiritual Acknowledgement

I recognize that everything that we teach comes from those who have walked before us. I honour and thank these warriors of light for saying yes to carrying these teachings and passing them forward.

We work with the ancient technologies of yoga in this particular wheel, and honour the great sages, yoginis, tantrikas, and the motherland of yoga for carrying these teachings forward.

I honour the medicine peoples of the Andes, the Q’ero, and the teachings of the mesa. Thank you for courageously sharing what was in your hearts in response to the cries of the Earth, Pachamama. I carry these teachings with integrity and reverence, may they seed into the hearts of humanity to bring balance and Ayni.

I bow to the mountains of Peru and the Salish Coast as the source of these teachings. I bow to the mountains of the Okanagan and the sacred waters, and recognize them as our teachers while we do our medicine work on this land.

With so much love, I offer thanks to Christine Selda of the Shamanic Yoga Institute. The main body of the teachings in this wheel was created by her. She has permitted me to share her life’s work so that these teachings can expand beyond her community and bring healing to the Earth and all Her creations. Thank you for your continued support and warriorship!

About Colleen Reid


My commitment and dedication to this work are fueled by my soul’s purpose to support my human family in remembering their connection to the earth, their worth, and finding their divine freedom.

I officially started my journey with the Wheel of Life in 2015 with the SYI, though I feel that I have been walking the wheel for lifetimes. I am forever grateful for this work; the teachings changed my life and aligned me with my destiny.

I have been teaching the Wheel OF Life since 2023, and assisted for 2 years before that. The pedagogy (style of teaching) is embodiment and direct experience. My role is to open the gateway that leads you to your remembering through various methodologies. This is not a lecture; it is a lived experience.

I am here to give you your power back and support you as you reclaim your belonging and align with your soul’s calling.

I have studied with the Shamanic Yoga Institute, The Foundation of Shamanic Studies, Trauma-Informed Yoga Studies with Yoga Outreach, Nai’a Breathwork, and personal studies in Norse Shamanism, Somatic Experiencing, and the Expressive Arts.

I am a full mesa carrier and have apprenticed under Christine Selda of the Shamanic Yoga Institute. I carry these teachings forward with permissibility, from the SYI as well as the medicine men and women of the Andean mountains who hold the lineage of the mesa. I connect with the timeless lineage of light carriers and become a bridge for the transmissions.

I am the creatrix of SHE IS WILD FEST and Wild Wellness and hold moon gatherings and retreats throughout the year. I am a mama of 2 wild boys and supported by a heart-centred man and partner in life.
