Praise for SHIP:
“A-M-A-Z-I-N-G [Carley’s] ability to simultaneously fly high, dig deep, reach behind, push forward, retrieve, release, defend and gather is something to behold. Her grace & beauty is immeasurable. Weaves us all together with her ’mothers’ heart—connects us to the earth & stars—encircles us in hope and truth.”
“Beyond outstanding! Clearly on her path and serves as a very clear leader for all of us to learn and process. Her wisdom is ‘other worldly’ and thank you for being present and a vehicle for that.”
“She has it all—knowledge, supportive voice, caring nature. And goes with the flow—not rigid in how things had to go.”
The Shamanic Warriorship Path is a Training Program for Warrior Leadership for a New Age. There are four core initiations: Lion, Dragon, Tiger and Eagle; and four second series initiations: Elephant, Hyena, Whale and Mountain Gorilla. Each initiation stands on its own and can be attended independently or you can sign up for all four in a series and graduate from this warrior leadership training program.
These modules include teachings and initiations around the four archetypes to activate the following:
Heart Warrior for Our Time
Stepping into Independence with Freedom
Honoring Our Interdependent Nature
Honoring Our History as We Embrace Our Future
Raising Consciousness in the Leo Aquarian Age
We are in an age of incredible power and promise which humanity could never have imagined. We still cannot predict how it will unfold. It is an age that has been anticipated by many indigenous cultures through lifetimes, through history’s patterns and through prophecies. A time we have all been waiting for—the fifth most powerful evolutionary time on the planet. It is in this time of change that we need a new paradigm of the warrior, the birth of a new kind of warrior energy that aligns with the heart and the higher frequencies of consciousness unfolding on the planet.
The Shamanic Warrior eliminates that which no longer serves us as individuals or as a collective. Shamanic Warrior energy creates a powerful force field that serves all of humanity with compassion. Decisions are made from a higher consciousness based on shamanic sustainability, which enhances humanity and nature, staying aware of the needs and aspirations of the whole ecosystem, promoting harmony and balance.
Upcoming Warriorships
CROW Warriorship: Fire Initiation April 11-13, 2025
Friday evening through Sunday
We are embodying a new kind of warrior energy that works in collaboration with the animal kingdom and the natural world. Together we are learning to co-create from a place of mutual respect. We are remembering who we are and standing in our warrior truth! At this turning of the ages, we release our codependency, step into our independence and remember our interdependence with all of the Earth.
For this initiation, we will be collaborating and co-creating with Crow and the element of Fire to…
• Look deeper into situations and consider a new perspective.
• Develop trust in using our intuition, adaptability, and resiliency.
• Support for us through change, transformation, and spiritual growth.
• Guide us towards creating new beginnings as we navigate uncertainty and symbolic death in times of great change.
• Utilize our intelligence and resourcefulness to solve problems as they surface and see things differently.
• Build strong ties to the spirit world to bring wisdom and messages from the ancestors during this time of significant change.
• Dance with magic and mystery, inviting us to embrace what we cannot yet understand.
These workshops are co-facilitated with Carley Mattimore, John Malan, Co-founders of Aahara Spiritual Community of Venus Rising, Ruth Souther, Lead Trainer with Aahara Spiritual Community of Venus Rising, and Teri Freesmeyer.

Praise for SHAMANIC WARRIORSHIP:
“It was a beautiful, powerful weekend with a container filled with leadership, love, and a deep calling to help our planet by aligning with a new level of being. I truly feel those called are creating a metamorphosis of this energy and allowing the higher realms of super consciousness to inform its manifestation through us onto the planet.”

Next Circle 2025
Integration of our Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine
8-week Online Class Mondays 7-9 p.m.
Integration of our Divine Feminine & Divine Masculine
As Within, So Without
As Above, So Below
In March of 2022, I came back from co-facilitating a trip to South Africa, and visiting the White Lions as well as several sacred sites including a new one, Paarl Rock.
On returning, I downloaded a new class, The Fem-Mas-Cue-Lin which consists of a series of 8 classes in which we dive deep into a relationship with our inner and collective masculine & feminine. It was such an inspiration to be with these beautiful souls who showed up to do the work of integration that is unfolding on the planet.
Paarl called me back to do a vision quest on this mountaintop in October 2022. The quest was profound and the information received has deeply informed this class.
I hope you will join me in exploring the relationship between feminine and masculine integration in a powerful way.

Praise for FEM-MAS-CUE-LIN:
“This class, helped me integrate another layer of the masculine/feminine within. It also helped me have more compassion for the ways the feminine and masculine have been wounded and have wounded others. Both are in need of deep healing and both have valuable qualities that are needed in order for the individual and the collective to experience joy on earth, especially in these changing times.”
“Carley Mattimore is an amazing presenter who is deeply passionate about her work. This class was no exception and offered participants a sacred space to deeply encounter the relationship to one’s own masculine/feminine nature and how that plays out in all areas of life.”
