Surrounded by sea, mystery and magic this journey is a deep offering to the land, to her people and to one’s own devotion to the work.

Then in the wilderness of British Columbia, Canada from August 18th to 24th, held by the trees, the animals and the ancient prayers of these sacred lands.

Level 3 has been reincarnated and infused with potent new techniques, releases, applications and immense education specific to:

The GI tract
Ileocecal valve

Gallbladder
Diaphragm
Small and Large Intestines
