Warriorship
Aahara’s Signature Leadership Program
The Shamanic Warriorship Path:
A Training Program for Warrior Leadership for a New Age.
Next Warriorship is...
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.
F or this segment, we connect with the energy, qualities and traits of the Tiger. Tiger symbolizes primal instincts, unpredictability, and the ability to trust our intuition. This includes developing willpower, personal strength and courage. As we unpack our shadow warrior traits, we directly face our fears & overwhelming emotions by inviting them into conscious awareness, bringing them to the table to work through the need for denial that has kept them hidden.
Here we integrate our emotions, harnessing the energy consumed by defensive behaviors. We become strong and insightful as we learn how to trust our own inner knowing. As we get stronger physically and emotionally, we have a renewed passion, sensuality and purpose in life! The element here is Water.

As we walk our path and open the gateways of our memory that connect us to all things, we remember our sacred contract with the Earth.
A new octave of planetary service is underway...
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.
We each have a sacred purpose, a way of bringing our own unique energy and gifts to the whole of humanity; we are a part of the whole and as such we each contribute an essential piece to the healing and transformation of our planet.
This workshop series is designed for anyone who wants to step more fully into a balanced leadership role for humanity while living their passion and embodying their own sacred activism during this radical transformation into the Age of Aquarius and Leo.
This new Shamanic Warriorship Training Program, developed by Master Facilitators Carley Mattimore, John Malan and Ruth Souther, is an experiential journey of healing and transforming our inner warrior, who was born out of trauma and who learned some combination of fight, flight, freeze or fold to keep us safe.
It is time to step into the energy of the Shamanic Warrior.

Lion
Dragon
Fire Initiation
Earth Initiation

In the first segment we connect to the energy of the Lion, its energy, qualities and traits that correspond to our inner authority and inner strength and that supports us in realigning with our true natures. We embrace and welcome home our “wounded warrior”, the part of ourselves that has protected us from perceived threats.
We learn about the archetype of Chiron, the wounded warrior who embarks on a journey to heal the wounds from personal and lineage trauma, transforming them into the medicine for a new Earth. We remember, re-align, reset and reconnect to the inherent wisdom within us to become the agents of change on Earth during this evolutionary upgrade on the planet. The element here is Earth.

In the second segment, we connect with the energy, qualities and traits of the Dragon, the guardian energy that transforms into our ally as we embrace and welcome home our loyal soldier, the wounded inner warrior. We will develop a new relationship with these shadow elements and a deeper understanding of our unconscious defense mechanisms, which developed through our early trauma.
This process supports us in flushing out the old warrior paradigm and helps to raise our consciousness to a full awakening of our responsibility in community. As we reclaim and heal this shadow energy it becomes the fuel for us to be passionately of service at this critical time on the planet. The element here is Fire.

TBD
Tiger
Eagle
-
In the fourth segment, we connect with the energy, qualities and traits of the Eagle. We have been through a shamanic initiation, a process of transforming the old paradigm of the warrior, welcoming them home, compassionately understanding their journey and diving into the unconscious aspects that triggered a defensive response. We now step into transforming our experiences into a higher perspective of the warrior’s shamanic journey. We are now called to a higher vision of ourselves, learning to stretch our limits, to doing and being much more than we believed we were capable of.
We trust in possibilities, taking one step after the other and knowing we will arrive at our destination, even if we do not understand what is being asked of us. We learn how to fly. We step into a higher version of ourselves and understand there are other forces at work supporting us (and humanity) in this evolution of consciousness. We become the Shamanic Warrior for a New Earth. The element here is Air.

TBD
-
In the third segment, we connect with the energy, qualities and traits of the Tiger. Tiger symbolizes primal instincts, unpredictability, and the ability to trust our intuition. This includes developing willpower, personal strength and courage. As we unpack our shadow warrior traits, we directly face our fears & overwhelming emotions by inviting them into conscious awareness, bringing them to the table to work through the need for denial that has kept them hidden.
Here we integrate our emotions, harnessing the energy consumed by defensive behaviors. We become strong and insightful as we learn how to trust our own inner knowing. As we get stronger physically and emotionally, we have a renewed passion, sensuality and purpose in life! The element here is Water.
In this module, as we connect with the essence of the Tiger:
We face our fears and the overwhelming, denied, and repressed emotions.
We invite our defensive behaviors into consciousness so we may utilize that energy in a more integrated way.
As we recognize our strengths, trust our insights, and reconnect to more of ourselves, we ignite renewed passion, purpose, and stronger inner knowing.
We become more grounded in accessing our truth, which enables us to hold another’s process without disrupting our own.
We learn to stay present in our body, feelings, and inner experiences, yet we can be compassionate towards others as we hold space for their feelings.
We learn to hold contrasting feelings and experiences, the dark and the light.
We are at a crossroads in our development, learning how to navigate the spaces between the known and unknown, between the present and future.
We become the bridge, the mediator, and a master of metamorphosis.

What People Are Saying
“The Warrior program has been a huge part of my process to finding the gentle but fierce Warrior that is within Me! Connecting to source through the natural world is where I find the most healing. I have found through The Warrior Path instead of the old patterns of fight, flight, freeze or fold, I stand in my truth and dive deep into the depths of myself and face matters with a higher perspective to be a better human for this planet and for myself. This program has been an asset to my life and if you are looking for something that is going to rattle your cage, shift your consciousness, and help you feel more aligned with The Earth, Source Energy, and YOURSELF, Warrior is for You! ”
— Lynsey Dunham, Springfield, IL
“I was drawn to the Warriorship because of the infusion of animal avatars. It was an opportunity to take a deeper dive in with animal guides. Much like the Shamanic Healing Initiatory Process (SHIP), there is an introduction of new information that brings a deeper understanding of the energy each animal holds. At the same time more is revealed about our own inner nature. The trauma we have experienced and how it has shaped not just who we are but our perception of the world. With the energy of our creature teachers, runs a thread of our humanity, the roles we play as victim and predator. Once revealed, another option is introduced. Another way of living that promotes our uniqueness but also recognizes that we are all part of an amazing whole. Each animal brings new lessons to learn in being the person we have been, are, and will be. There is new discovery and unveiling of more within.
With each one, I have gained new perspective. There is healing and my heart opens just a little more. Warriorship is about discovering your own sovereign nature, how to be true to yourself, and in relationship with others and the world. Count me in.”
— Barbara Van Dyke Brown, Springfield, IL
“I just love Warrior weekends. They are a gentle way of healing myself. Learning about me . The greatest thing I have learned is about Boundaries, with each weekend of Warrior my Boundaries became clearer. Truly a gift for me . Such a lesson in self care. Carly, John, Ruth and Teri hold space in a fantastic way to explore your Warrior self. ”

FAQs
-
The Shamanic Warriorship Path is a Training Program for Warrior Leadership for a New Age.
These are the times that have been prophesied for centuries by indigenous cultures across the globe. One example of this is The Tibetan Buddhists who described this time on Earth as one when the Shambhala Warriors would return. They spoke of a new kind of warrior energy seeding the planet, an energy that holds a higher perception of how to dismantle the old structures. This energy comes not from weapons of mass destruction but the higher love and wisdom of being a divine human on earth who holds the container of higher love, wisdom and compassion as they see the bigger picture.
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 is in alignment 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 whole. This 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 eco-system, promoting harmony and balance.
This warrior helps us expand our consciousness and shake the foundations of our old beliefs as well as the systems and structures these old beliefs grew out of, often referred to as the Patriarchy. This new vision for Humanity embodies a healthy masculine and feminine integration with Shamanic Warrior consciousness, creating the potential for a New Earth.
We attain this frequency through a deep inner healing of the personal and collective psyche. We are all going through these changes but Shamanic Warriors are being called to ignite the consciousness of the masses to facilitate this rebirth of our planet.

Some of you may be stepping into a new understanding of your sacred purpose and others may not be sure of your direction or place in universe, yet each of you are moving towards an awakening of a deeper actualization of your inherent potential during this new age of consciousness. But as we implement this directive, we may find ourselves challenged by life events and old patterns that make it difficult to keep our momentum as we embrace new passions and visions.
Although we are much further along on our journey to wholeness, we may find that we still struggle with resistance, fear and doubt as we work to bring these new visions into fruition. The warrior is someone who fights for what is sacred to them; often their own or their community’s freedom. The new warrior energy that is emerging comes from a place of deep inner healing and transformation for us personally and collectively.
