With Robert Vetter and Maddi Cheers
(Translation assured)

Arrival of participants on Friday evening, February 27
How do we turn life experience into embodied wisdom? How do we heal ourselves
so we can hold space for the healing of others?
Across cultures, those known as wisdom-keepers have long served as the guardians of
sacred knowledge—guiding others through illness, grief, transformation, and rebirth.
They do this not by fixing, but by listening, witnessing, and calling upon the power of story, energy, and ritual.
In this immersive, heart-opening workshop, we will explore ancient and contemporary
healing methods rooted in Indigenous traditions, energy medicine, and narrative healing.
Together, we will remember how to restore balance in ourselves, in others, and in the communities we serve.
Workshop Overview
Led by cultural anthropologist and healer Robert Vetter and healing artist and storyteller Maddi Cheers, this deep dive into soul-level healing blends hands-on practices, ceremonial work, and sacred storytelling to awaken the healer within.
Through guided journeys, intuitive energy practices, and rituals drawn from Indigenous teachings, you’ll deepen your connection to your own inner wisdom and expand your capacity to facilitate healing in others—ethically, humbly, and powerfully.
What You Will Experience Story as Medicine : Learn to work with Plática—a sacred, heart-centered form of dialogue and deep listening—to move energy and open the space for healing. Discover how traditional and intuitive storytelling can help unstick trauma, renew hope, and guide clients toward wholeness.
Energy Tracking & Intuition : Tune into the subtle field of the body and spirit. Develop your intuitive sensitivity to recognize where energy is blocked, flowing, or calling for attention.
Soul Retrieval & Reclaiming Wholeness : Through guided shamanic journeys, reconnect with lost or fragmented parts of yourself—and learn how to gently guide others to do the same. Reclaim clarity, purpose, and vitality.
Healing Presence : Cultivate the kind of presence that creates a field of trust, openness, and transformation. Learn how your being—more than your doing—is the medicine.
Plant Medicine & Energetic Cleansing : Work with sacred herbs for smudging, spiritual hygiene, and clearing energetic residue. Learn how to integrate plants into your healing practice, even in simple ways.
Transforming Limiting Beliefs : Identify the energetic roots of limiting stories and beliefs—and learn tools to help shift those patterns in yourself and others.
Sacred Symbols & Healing Tools : Engage with master healing symbols, objects of power, and ancestral tools to support and deepen your intuitive work.
The Role of Ceremony in Healing : Ceremony is the container that holds transformation. It marks the crossing of thresholds— between illness and wellness, fear and courage, loss and rebirth.
In this workshop, you will:
-Participate in traditional healing ceremonies rooted in Indigenous wisdom.
-Learn how to create your own ceremonies for transitions, grief, healing, or empowerment—using intention, storytelling, elements, and symbolic action.
-Understand how ritual and rhythm ground energy work, anchor healing experiences, and call in spiritual allies.
-Discover the importance of ceremony as a collective act—restoring the sacred not only in individuals but in the world around us.
Whether drawing on long-held practices or intuitively crafting new ones, you’ll leave with the tools and confidence to use ceremony as a living language of the soul.
Who Is This For? This retreat is open to all who feel called to the healer’s path—whether you're a seasoned practitioner or newly awakening to your gifts. Coaches, therapists, spiritual seekers, artists, and those in transition will all find something here. You don’t need prior training—only a willingness to listen deeply, trust your intuition, and show up with an open heart.
