Note: How to make a shacapa is taught as part of the Shamans Tools course
A shacapa is a rattle made of a very specific Amazonian leaf (from a plant called Carritzo) and it is used by the shaman to create music while singing the icaros and to direct and move around the energies during a shamanic healing
Wild Women, wow, what an awesome weekend away with some truly inspiring women. I've never experienced anything like it before and I'm grateful to have been there. I can't believe the difference it's made in my life, I feel renewed. The processes were so amazing, empowering and beautiful. When Pennie, Tracey and Jill took part in all of them it was wonderful to see them inspire us all. The fire ceremony was the highlight for me as you could feel the sacred space created for us to run with the wolves and howl at the moon it helped me get in touch with my inner feminine power - what a rush!!! Pennie you are a shaman of magical proportions I will definitely be back again, and I cannot thank you enough
More testimonials"I have learned so much from working with Pennie and gained confidence, renewed clarity and have moved forward in my life in extraordinary ways. When I look back at how I looked and felt even 5 years ago, I now feel more energetic and focused and people regularly tell me that I appear much younger than my years. Life still brings challenges, however I have some excellent tools to support me with those, and continued support from Pennie and the Acorn to Oak team whenever I need it and that makes a real difference to me every day." "Breath4Life Breath Work has been a brilliant discovery for me ... It quite literally has changed my life, from living in fear and depression to thriving and living a very full and joyful life." "The residential courses run by Acorn to Oak always bring amazing opportunities for self discovery and change. They are filled with joy and laughter, many and varied processes undertaken individually or as a group. The Inner Balance weekend has men and women learning so much about each other's way of viewing the world, speaking and thinking, allowing a greater closeness between the sexes, as well as giving both experiences which explore the inner male/female in both. It is a true celebration of feminine and masculine. The Mining the Gold Within intensive retreats offer a unique opportunity to make real and lasting changes and progress in your life. I have attended three of these and each time, my life moves forward in leaps and bounds and I feel increasingly in touch with my true nature and expression. Based in Breath4Life Breath Work and other unique processes, every participant gains huge healing - for me the proof of this has been in my daily life and relationships. I could not recommend these courses more highly."
