Shamanic Stretch is a self-care, therapeutic movement class designed to help you connect with your most Natural Self. In this class we’ll explore how to listen to the body and intuitively give into what it's craving through deep stretching, self-massage, breathwork, sound healing, and ecstatic-somatic movement. This class will provide you with a safe container to remember what it means to be wild, free, and fully embodied. The practice itself is guided but very much self-led as far as the quality and intensity of activity. Think of this experience as a "Choose Your Own Adventure Story". Shamanic Stretch is for ANY BODY, ALL genders, ages 18 and up. Movements and stretches can easily be modified for anyone with injuries or physical limitations.
About Your Host: Ida Cavewoman, is a Nordic Folk Magic & Shamanic Practitioner, Breathwork Facilitator, and a Massage Therapist of over 20 years. To learn more about Ida’s work, visit www.IdaCavewoman.com.

Reiki by Lindsey is offered every Tuesday evening from 5-8pm by appointment only. Please email Lindsey at lindspeck7@gmail.com to schedule.
About Lindsey’s Practice:
With reverence for the ancient wisdom of Reiki, Lindsey dedicates her practice to empowering individuals on their journey of self-actualization, spiritual awakening, and autonomy. Her compassionate approach addresses the intricate web of physical, emotional, and energetic imbalances, including:
- Chakra alignment and clearing
- Release of stored trauma
- Muscular tension and pain relief
- Anxiety and depression support
- Headache alleviation
- Comfort during times of discomfort
What to expect in a session:
I will talk with all my clients before the session explaining what Reiki is and the guides I work with. I’ll inquire with my clients about any specific areas that need attention and what they’re hoping to achieve and/or relieve from our work together. For those unsure of what’s needed, I’ll lead them intuitively and help guide them every step of the way. I often like to incorporate the assistance of essential oils if the client is comfortable with fragrance. Sometimes if it’s quiet, I’ll feel called to play certain sound frequencies. My client’s comfort and positive experience are important to me. Therefore, I always follow my client’s lead on how much verbal interaction they desire throughout our time together. It’s common for clients to fall asleep on the table while receiving Reiki.
Rates, Payment & Sliding Fee Options:
It’s most common for clients to book 1 hour sessions but I can also accommodate 30 of 90 minute bookings as well.
30 minutes: $45
60 minutes: $90
90 minutes: $135Payments can be made via cash or Venmo @Ljp712
If for any reason you cannot afford my standard rates, please inquire about my sliding fee option and we can chat about what’s within your budget. Being accessible to ALL is of utmost importance to me while working in the community.

Wyrd Witch 101 is an ongoing Women's Learning Circle for individuals wanting to initiate or deepen their relationship to Witchcraft. Every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month, you'll have the opportunity to explore, share, ask questions, experiment, play, and practice in an intimate setting with magical sisters. The 1st Friday will be held in SE Portland, while the 3rd Friday will be held in Gladstone. The intention is to create a container where all participants can express their unique gifts and delve into creating meaningful, lasting, and authentic personal practices, so that their magic may flourish and weave naturally into everyday life.
Each gathering will start off with an "emptying of baskets" where we personally express what we've been feeling lately and what our current emotional, spiritual, and mental landscape looks like. Within this sharing we witness our sisters and learn how to be of support, comfort, encouragement, and accountability to our fellow Witches . We'll then collectively pick a magical topic or two to discuss followed by some guided instruction and exploration of said topic.
We'll deep dive into practices such as: creating rituals, spellcrafting, enchanting, grounding, clearing, protection, manifesting & visioning, altar tending, divination & scrying, working with the elements, connecting with our guides and ancestors, celebrating the turning of the wheel & seasonal practices, how to work with deities, embodiment, deepening our connections with plant, animal, and nature spirits...and much, much MORE.
About Your Host: Ida is an American born, Nordic Folk Magic & Shamanic Practitioner who practices the Scandinavian magical lineage known as Trolldom. She is a well-seasoned Witch whose magic is rooted in nature based connection, animism, ancestor veneration, Nordic paganism, and Scandinavian folk traditions. Her ancestors hail from Sweden, Norway, Scotland, Belgium, Germany, and Poland.
Even though Ida leans heavily towards her Norse side, she has a knack for connecting others to their very own unique and diverse lineages and traditional practices. She believes that there's much to be learned within our bone memory and the powerful folk medicine that our great grandmothers used and trusted. One of her many passions is to spark other women to rekindle their roots while fully embracing their authentically Wyrd Witch. To learn more about Ida’s work, visit www.IdaCavewoman.com.
What to Bring: A snack to share, a journal, and backjack or floor cushion.
When: 1st & 3rd Fridays from 7-9pm

Seasonal Events

Something to ponder: Tired of being quiet and polite? Ready to unlock the places that have been shut down and frozen? Our rage is just as divine as our pleasure and joy. Our expression of it is deeply needed medicine. When anger is trapped in our body it is more likely to come out in explosive and negative ways. What if we give it space to move?
What to expect: In this 3.5 hour ritual, we invite you to step fully into your body, into your emotions, and into your power! Your voice, tears, sweat, and anger are welcome here. All the soul parts that have been hidden, squashed, silenced and disembodied are being called back to you in this container. We’ll hold space for your Sacred Rage and allow it to be moved and transformed into action. Prepare to give physicality to your Rage through somatic movement, dance, vocal work, and breathwork; allowing you to come through to the other side of Rage as a stronger version of YOU. All bodies, all genders, 18+ are welcome. Space is limited to only 10 attendees.
This event will be offered seasonally in October, January, April, and July. Each ritual will be flavored with the current season that we're in; expressing and collaborating with the cyclical themes and dynamics that Nature provides us.
What to bring: A journal, water bottle, and any items that feel important to be added to our altar (items will be returned unless they’re intended as an offering)
What to wear: Comfortable clothing that allows full body range of motion. Layers are helpful as your temperature will fluctuate. The studio is a shoe free zone so you will need to be barefoot or wearing socks.
Who are your facilitators: Andrea Thompson and Ida Cavewoman have been close friends for over 20 years and have spent over a decade regularly practicing magic together within a Coven. Through their mutual respect and deep trust of one another, their medicine weaves in an effortless way and you’re sure to be in good hands for such BIG work.
Andrea is a native to Oregon, lover of magic, tinkering herbalist and dancer at heart. She has cultivated her practice of holding space for others through her 25 years of Massage Therapy experience in which she deeply listens to what the individual’s body is asking for and what old stories are ready to be released in that precise moment versus going with a specific protocol. Studying with Danielle Renee Battigione initiated her into her Magical practice many moons ago. Since then, she has shared and held ritual space in various magical workshops, embodiment events and at Soul Revival Ecstatic Dance for BIPOC. To hear more about her magical practice, check out Magic From the Root Podcast. To learn more about her offerings for bodywork, you can find her at[ www.andreatlmt.com](http://andreatlmt.com/ "http://andreatlmt.com").
Ida is an American born, Nordic Folk Magic & Shamanic Practitioner who practices the Scandinavian magical lineage known as Trolldom. Her medicine is rooted in nature based connection, animism, ancestor veneration, Nordic paganism, and European folk traditions. Ida is passionate about connecting others to their own unique lineage and helping others “help themselves” by teaching practical self-care techniques from her knowledge as a massage therapist of over 20 years. She’s here to hold a safe container for today's modern Homo Sapiens on their journey to wholeness and acceptance of their Wyrd, Natural Self.
