What peeple are saying:
Wow! Another amazing workshop! I
went into this with an open heart and
mind, but I had no idea I could find
more within me than I ever thought I
had. I’ll keep pushing and pulling as I
continue to search deeper and deeper
within myself on my journey to finding
and expressing my true authentic self.
It’s so unusual to think outside of what
I know and have experienced, but I
managed to do that again and again
today. Thank you! I leave awake, alive,
energized, confident, balanced and
refreshed – just like I hoped I would.
I’m so ready for level 3. - Audra,

SHAMANTRA evolved out of Saffire’s life experiences and training, integrating his
knowledge of the body, rhythm, and voice. These workshops were developed in
the Pacific Northwest, where they are offered regularly. The international

2006. The expansion has continued at Rancho La Puerta in Tecate, Mexico, Venice,
Italy and Bali.
