WEST MEDICINE WHEEL TRAINING

The Way of the Jaguar

Shadow Work, Extraction Healing, Power, Protection & The Path of the Peaceful Warrior

There comes a point on the healing path where surface-level spirituality is no longer enough.

A point where you realise that true transformation is not only about light, love, positive thinking, or spiritual ideas.

It is about having the courage to face yourself honestly.

To meet your shadow.
To reclaim your power.
To stop abandoning yourself.
To heal what has been hidden, buried, feared, rejected, inherited, or carried for far too long.

The West Direction is where this deeper journey begins.

Within the Medicine Wheel, the West is the direction of Jaguar — the archetype of courage, integrity, protection, awareness, shadow work, death, rebirth, and transformation.

Jaguar teaches you how to walk through fear without becoming consumed by it.

She teaches you how to see clearly in the dark.

This is not a path of bypassing pain.

This is a path of learning how to sit beside it, understand it, transform it, and ultimately become stronger, wiser, more grounded, and more authentic through the process.

The West asks you to become the Peaceful Warrior.

Not through domination, force, ego, or spiritual superiority — but through integrity, self-responsibility, discernment, courage, and embodied presence.

This training is deep, powerful, sacred, and profoundly transformational.

And for many students, it becomes one of the most life-changing stages of the Medicine Wheel journey.

A PRIVATE & INTIMATE TRAINING EXPERIENCE

Unlike many training schools that teach large groups over four intense consecutive days, the West Direction Training is intentionally designed differently.

This is a deeply personal and transformational process held within a small, carefully supported group of only 8 participants.

This smaller group size allows:

• deeper personal guidance,
• stronger connection,
• more individual support,
• safer shadow work,
• more opportunity to ask questions,
• and a far more intimate and meaningful experience.

You are not rushed through the teachings.

You are held through them.

Many students share that trying to absorb deep shadow work, extraction healing, ancestral healing, death teachings, protection work, and advanced practitioner skills over four consecutive days would feel overwhelming and difficult to fully process or embody.

This is why the training is intentionally divided into two separate blocks with integration time in between.

This slower, more grounded approach honours the nervous system, emotional processing, spiritual integration, and the depth of the work itself.

Because healing is not a race.

Real transformation needs space.

TRAINING DATES

Part One

20th & 21st May 2027

Part Two

27th & 28th May 2027

Between the two training weekends, you will have time for:

• reflection,
• journaling,
• integration,
• practice,
• emotional processing,
• ceremony,
• and personal awareness work.

This space between trainings often becomes just as important as the teaching days themselves.

WHAT THE WEST DIRECTION IS REALLY ABOUT

The West is the direction of:

• Jaguar,
• shadow,
• power,
• emotional truth,
• boundaries,
• endings,
• death and rebirth,
• integrity,
• protection,
• discernment,
• and deep healing.

This is where many people begin confronting the unconscious patterns that quietly shape their lives:

• fear,
• anger,
• shame,
• avoidance,
• people pleasing,
• emotional reactivity,
• self-abandonment,
• control,
• projection,
• grief,
• trauma patterns,
• ancestral imprints,
• and unhealthy energetic attachments.

The West teaches you how to stop running from yourself.

And instead, begin reclaiming the parts of yourself that were never truly lost — only hidden beneath fear, conditioning, pain, or survival.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

This is a deeply experiential practitioner-level training rooted in ceremony, direct practice, healing work, self-awareness, and embodied transformation.

You will explore:

• Shadow work and emotional healing
• The path of the Peaceful Warrior
• Jaguar medicine and heightened awareness
• Impeccability, integrity, and energetic responsibility
• Fear, projection, ego, and unconscious patterns
• Protection practices for self, clients, and ceremonial space
• Extraction healing work
• Psychic intrusion, energetic heaviness, cords, and attachments
• Past-life healing and illumination work
• Ancestral healing and lineage clearing
• Soul loss and soul retrieval
• Egg limpia cleansing ceremonies
• Water ceremony and emotional healing
• Death teachings and spiritual rebirth
• Fire ceremonies and release work
• The Great Give-Away ceremony
• Deepening your relationship with your mesa and sacred stones
• Advanced energetic awareness and tracking
• How to work safely, ethically, and responsibly as a practitioner

This training is not only about personal healing.

It is also about learning how to hold deeper healing space for others.

EXTRACTION HEALING — A CORE SHAMANIC PRACTITIONER SKILL

One of the most important teachings within the West is extraction healing work.

Students do not simply learn theories about energetic heaviness, intrusion, attachments, cords, entities, psychic attack, or energetic imprints.

They learn how to safely and responsibly perform extraction healing work on others.

Within many traditional shamanic systems, extraction work is considered one of the foundational responsibilities of a practitioner.

In the teachings shared within Luminous Living™, extraction work is viewed as an essential aspect of genuine healing work.

Many people seeking healing have never previously received energetic clearing or shamanic healing. Often, they are carrying years — and sometimes generations — of accumulated emotional heaviness, unresolved trauma patterns, ancestral burdens, fear, unhealthy energetic attachments, or energetic intrusions.

Without extraction work, deeper healing can sometimes remain blocked.

The West teaches practitioners how to recognise, approach, clear, and work safely with these energies in a grounded, ethical, and protected way.

You will learn:

• How to recognise energetic heaviness and intrusion
• How to prepare and protect ceremonial space
• How to strengthen your own energetic field
• How to avoid fear-based practice
• How to work from groundedness, compassion, integrity, and discernment
• How to support clients safely and responsibly
• How extraction integrates alongside illumination and soul retrieval work
• How to work with Jaguar as protector and tracker
• How to cleanse, close, and complete healing sessions properly

This is serious practitioner work that requires maturity, responsibility, self-awareness, and deep respect for the healing process.

And for many students, this is where they truly begin understanding the depth, responsibility, and sacredness of shamanic healing practice.

BUILDING YOUR POWER WITHOUT LOSING YOUR HEART

The West is not about becoming hardened.

It is about becoming clearer.

Stronger boundaries.
Cleaner energy.
Greater integrity.
Deeper awareness.
More emotional honesty.
Less fear.
Less self-abandonment.
Less projection.
Less unconscious reaction.

Jaguar teaches you how to stand in your power without needing to dominate, rescue, control, compete, or prove yourself.

This work changes how you move through relationships, work, parenting, healing practice, conflict, boundaries, leadership, and everyday life.

CEREMONIES, RITES & INITIATIONS

The West includes powerful ceremonial experiences and rites of passage designed to support deep emotional, energetic, and spiritual transformation.

These may include:

• Jaguar journeying,
• fire ceremony,
• water ceremony,
• egg limpia,
• funeral rites,
• shadow ceremonies,
• ancestral healing practices,
• mesa rites,
• soul retrieval journeys,
• and the Great Give-Away.

These ceremonies are not performed for performance or entertainment.

They are sacred transformational processes designed to support healing, release, awareness, reflection, courage, and inner transformation.

CACAO CEREMONY & COMMUNITY CONNECTION

The training also includes ceremonial cacao spaces to support:

• emotional connection,
• grounding,
• reflection,
• heart opening,
• intention setting,
• community,
• and integration.

These spaces help create a warm, supportive, and safe environment where participants can process, connect, share, and grow together throughout the journey.

YOUR MESA — YOUR SACRED MEDICINE BUNDLE

Throughout the West training you continue deepening your relationship with your mesa — your personal medicine bundle and sacred healing altar.

Your mesa evolves alongside your healing journey and becomes a deeply personal energetic companion that supports:

• healing,
• prayer,
• grounding,
• ceremony,
• protection,
• reflection,
• spiritual practice,
• and connection to the Medicine Wheel.

Over time, your mesa becomes infused with your prayers, teachings, stones, ceremonies, initiations, and lived experiences.

This is not simply symbolic.

It becomes part of how you walk through life.

YEAR-LONG SUPPORT & INTEGRATION

One of the things that makes this training unique is that support continues long after the in-person weekends finish.

Included within the training are:

• 4 live online integration and support calls throughout the year

These sessions allow you to:

• ask questions,
• deepen your practice,
• receive guidance,
• stay connected to the teachings,
• process experiences,
• and continue integrating the work into everyday life.

Because true transformation does not happen in a weekend.

The nervous system, emotional body, energetic field, relationships, identity, and unconscious patterns all need time to shift and reorganise.

This training honours that process.

TAKE-HOME MANUAL & PRACTICES

You will receive a comprehensive West Direction training manual to support your ongoing journey throughout the year.

This includes:

• teachings,
• ceremonies,
• extraction guidance,
• shadow work,
• journaling prompts,
• protection practices,
• mesa teachings,
• energetic exercises,
• glossary terms,
• integration guidance,
• and practical tools for continued embodiment.

WHY THIS WORK MATTERS IN MODERN LIFE

Modern life has left many people emotionally overwhelmed, spiritually disconnected, energetically exhausted, anxious, hypervigilant, burnt out, emotionally reactive, disconnected from nature, and carrying unresolved emotional pain beneath the surface.

The West teaches you how to stop living purely from survival patterns.

This work supports you in:

• building emotional resilience,
• creating healthier boundaries,
• understanding your shadow,
• recognising projection and unconscious patterns,
• strengthening intuition and discernment,
• protecting your energy,
• releasing fear and emotional heaviness,
• healing ancestral wounds,
• becoming more grounded,
• and developing a deeper sense of self-trust and authenticity.

Over time, many students notice profound shifts in:

• relationships,
• confidence,
• emotional wellbeing,
• self-worth,
• nervous system regulation,
• spiritual connection,
• personal power,
• clarity,
• purpose,
• and the way they respond to life itself.

EXPERIENCES FROM PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS

“The Medicine Wheel course - I have completed all four directions with Charmaine. This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done… however hands down I’d say it’s the most rewarding and life changing thing I’ve ever done.”
— Daniella

The West is not easy work.

But for those who feel genuinely called to this path, it can become one of the most transformational journeys of their lives.

WHO THIS TRAINING IS FOR

This training is for those who feel ready to go deeper.

It is especially suited to people who are ready to:

• face fear and shadow patterns honestly,
• strengthen boundaries,
• deepen their healing practice,
• reclaim personal power,
• develop practitioner-level healing skills,
• learn extraction work,
• explore ancestral healing,
• strengthen energetic awareness,
• and walk the path of the Peaceful Warrior with integrity and courage.

You do not need to be perfect.

You simply need to be willing.

THE WAY OF THE JAGUAR

Jaguar does not teach you to become fearless by pretending fear does not exist.

She teaches you how to walk beside fear without surrendering your soul to it.

She teaches you how to stand in the dark without losing your light.

How to become stronger without becoming hardened.

How to protect your energy without closing your heart.

How to walk with power without losing humility.

And how to become the kind of healer who can sit beside suffering — both your own and others’ — with courage, integrity, presence, and love.

This is the Way of the Jaguar.

And for many, it becomes the journey that changes everything.
