What is SHIP?
The SHIP Program is a series of five transformative initiations, also known as the Spiral Path, designed to remove the obstacles to true growth, let go of old story lines that no longer serve us and step into our sacred purpose in this lifetime. As the blocks to higher love and wisdom are released and soulful integration occurs, individuals are set free to stand in the truth of their authentic being and walk a path with heart.
1) Cycles of Change: Element of Water
2) Family of Origin: Element of Earth
3) Shadow: Element of Fire
4) Inner Beloved: Element of Spirit
5) Sacred Purpose: Element of Air
These initiations, or workshops, are offered every other month from Friday evening at 7:00 p.m. through Sunday at 6:00 p.m. Central Time. Each of the five workshops features the Shamanic Breathwork™ Process, a safe and powerful healing tool that uses the breath, chakra-attuned music, focused bodywork, art, and group sharing to help individuals connect to their own inner healer/Shaman and step into life as an authentic, empowered person, sharing your gifts with those you love and the world. These workshops are experiential and will use teachings, guided meditation, drumming, Shamanic Breathwork, art and group process.
Our main tool for the Ship program is the Shamanic Breathwork™ Process, birthed through Venus Rising’s founder, Linda Star Wolf. Every turn of the great wheel of life requires an ego surrender to Great Mystery. Rebirth can only occur after a symbolic death and release of the old forms that no longer serve us. This journey often requires moving through a “dark night of the soul.”

What People Are Saying
“SHIP is an amazing, transformative process! Carley, John, and Ruth are wonderful, dedicated facilitators, fully committed to all participants coming into their highest and best consciousness and life purpose. The five training weekends are full of experiential activities, such as breathwork, artwork, and lots of processing. The breathwork sessions are particularly powerful. I am so grateful for this program. Thank you so much!”
— Dr. Tassel Faith Shanebrook, SHIP
“My experience with Carley, John, and Ruth and the Aahara community as a whole has been so deeply beautiful. They came into my life at a time when I was moving into new levels of transformation, and I really needed support. They moved with me every step of the way through the SHIP Breathwork process. Their care for me was so evident, and I felt their loving hearts so clearly. They hold impeccable space in ceremony, and their integrity shines in what they do. I highly recommend working with the Aahara community - to belong, to transform, and to more fully step into the truth of who we are.”
— Jason Latham, SHIP
“SHIP and the Aahara community have resourced me and supported me through the past few years of major healing. This modality is transformative and empowers healing oneself in the supportive container of a group of empathic, caring people. It goes so much deeper than talk therapy and actually moves trauma out of the body and helps people become more fully their true, full selves. I am utterly grateful to have this in my life.”
—Rebecca Osland, SHIP
FAQs
-
The Shamanic Breathwork™ Process is a powerful healing process that inspires individuals to remember and reconnect with their own inner healer. As old wounds and dysfunctional patterns are released and transformed, individuals begin to regain lost soul parts and remember the magic of who they truly are. Empowerment brings wholeness and healing back into their own lives, to the lives of those they love, and to the world at large. This process is highly experiential and the wisdom and healing gained comes from each individual’s inner experience.
