You will activate pathways to create real and lasting change, healing, and transformation as you open yourself to new possibilities for your life.
Welcome beautiful soul!
Ceremony is the medicine the world needs right now.
You know this, deep within your bones. Through the foundations class you began working with ceremony as a pathway to create real and lasting change, healing, and transformation. You not only learned the basics of this healing art but also attuned to the greater rhythm of life itself.
Ceremony is a place to connect directly with spirit and bring your personal hopes, dreams, fears, doubts, worries, challenges, and intention. It is a place to activate change and create transformation. It is the pathway for bringing sacred closure to the old paradigm and crossing the threshold into the new paradigm.
On this journey you will spend a year living into the art of ceremony. You will discover how this sacred art lives within you and brings life to your world. You will further attune to the rhythm of life, the vast healing energy of the unseen worlds, and nurture your intuitive gifts. You will discover the unique ways the rhythm of life breathes within you.
Take it to Ceremony is a pathway for you to nurture deeper and meaningful connection with yourself, with nature, with spirit, and with all of life. As you embark upon this immersive journey, you will further explore how to work with both ceremony and the compass of creation to navigate the healing journey for yourself and others.
Join me for a yearlong immersion into the ceremonial arts.
Let’s Take it to Ceremony and step into a new world of possibilities.
with love, Lori
Confidently Navigate Life's Ups, Downs, Twists, and Turns.
Have you been looking for ways to courageously navigate turbulent times by stepping out of chaos and into possibility?
Ceremony creates change at an energetic level.
When you find yourself challenged by a conflict with a loved one, stuck in a place of mental rumination, or simply feel uncertain about your next right step, ceremony will help you to step out of the chaos and into a sense of being grounded, connected, and supported.
Ceremony opens a gateway between the physical and energetic worlds. It supports you to release your resistance and invites the support of spirit. As spirit meets you in this sacred space; new ideas, possibilities, and solutions emerge.
Feel Deeply Connected with Nature and All of Life.
Experience how the art of ceremony opens the gateway for connection.
Have you wanted to experience a deeper connection with the natural world?
Would you like to feel more at ease when spending time outdoors?
All of life inhales and exhales. It has a voice that speaks to your soul. It is ready to connect, to reveal itself to you, and open your heart even further to yourself.
Within you is great wisdom. Ceremony connects you with that wisdom. It invites you deeper within and gently reveals how to move with the rhythm of life.
As you work with the energy of life, you step into a co-creative partnership, one that reveals new ways to navigate experiences that previously cause you to pause, hesitate, or feel tripped up.
As you take to ceremony your hopes, fears, worries, doubts, celebrations, and challenges – answers emerge. The way forward opens. New possibilities arise.
It is time to touch the earth in soulful connection. Feel its heartbeat. Experience the wonder of sacred time and space.
Discover how to bring that magic into your everyday life.
Within You Resides a Deep Well of Wisdom.
Your ability to trust and honor your voice of wisdom is your most powerful ally in times of change and turbulence.
Do you ever wonder about how to access the full depth of your spiritual gifts and intuitive nature so that you feel confident sharing them with others?
Find out as you take time to nurture them. Develop them. And most importantly Trust them.
The challenge is that many modern wisdom keepers had life experiences that caused them to shut down or mistrust their own inner voice. They grew to depend upon and value the voice and guidance of others over their own. They shut down pathways of inner connection in favor of responding to the noise and influence of the outside world.
Right now, keepers of wisdom are being reawakened and activated.
They are being called to heal on deep levels and reconnect with their inner wisdom, to remember their deep knowing, and to access the wisdom desperately needed at this time.
Your wisdom is a sacred gift, one that is meant to be shared.
It is also a valuable asset as the world collectively moves through this time of evolution.
You can access your inner wisdom by creating an intimate relationship with your soul.
Wisdom keepers of the past and present take this relationship very seriously. They know that honoring their inner wisdom is the key to unlocking new possibilities for humanity. It is the key to bringing forth the vision, insight, and wisdom that the world desperately needs at this time.
Ceremony is a powerful pathway to rebuild trust in your voice of inner wisdom.
This Program is for You if You . . .
◊ Would like to further develop your intuitive gifts.
◊ Value healing as part of your journey to embody your most authentic self expression.
◊ Enjoy spending time outdoors, in nature.
◊ You long for a deeper connection with the natural world.

◊ Are ready to be empowered in your spirituality and sacred practice.

◊ Willing to get curious, create a direct connection with spirit, and develop your capacity to source your own answers, insights, and guidance.
◊ Desire meaningful ways to work with the earths rhythms, cycles, places of power, and more.

Module 1 - Weave an Earth Connection
Your journey though begins the Compass of Creation kicks off at the midpoint of the spring season as you begin in the North direction. This is a time of year to bring consciousness to the seeds you plant and gently consider: are you planting what you long to harvest? Here you will work with the element of earth and earth based ceremonies to explore three core areas:
1. Ancestry and lineage.
2. Nature, the earth, and physicality of life.
3. Deep roots, soulful foundations, and sacred presence.
Through ceremony, shamanic journeying, and other sacred practices you will work with three self-selected medicine stones. These stones will serve as healing allies as you begin to create your personal medicine bundle.
In the North you will illuminate your inner light as you . . .
-
- connect with your healing allies.
- explore the many layers of your lineage and ancestry.
- heal generational wounds and patterns.
- nurture a meaningful connection with the earth.
- attune to the earth energies.
- powerfully connect with locations where you source nourishment, wisdom, and medicine.
- explore your roots: from ancestral healing to the ways you are connected with the earth itself.
- strengthen your roots as a foundation for your life and soul path.
- develop a co-creative and healing relationship with the land in your area.
- invite the land to support you in your life.
As you work with the direction of the North and element of earth, you will find freedom and wholeness as you root deeply into your life, become more present in day to day moments, and step forward on your unique path, deeply.
Module 2 - Awaken direct Spirit Connection
Your journey though the Compass of Creation continues as you make a quarter turn clockwise to the East direction. In the midst of the summer season, when life is in full bloom, you will work with the element of air and air based ceremonies to explore three core areas:
1. Bringing light the the unconscious through divination.
2. Intuitive development and expanded vision.
3. Nurturing direct connection with spirit.
Through ceremony, shamanic journeying, and other sacred practices you will work with three self-selected medicine stones. These stones will be added to your personal medicine bundle.
In the East you will illuminate new possibilities as you . . .
- step out of the chaos of day to day life and into an energy of expanded vision.
- work with the crystals and stones to receive insight and guidance.
- work with your medicine stones to track energy and the subtle ways it ripples through the air currents.
- unravel patterns of distraction, chaos, and overwhelm that interfere with your ability to say yes to your most heartfelt dreams and desires.
- create space for dreaming and to welcome new ideas and possibilities.
- work with sacred smoke as an ally for attuning to unseen energy.
- expand your intuitive gifts by refining the intuitive facet of each physical sense.
- cultivate a soft space of connection with self so you can attune to your voice of wisdom.
As you work with the direction of the East and element of air, your energy will begin to expand into new places and spaces in your life. You will attune to ideas, dreams, and visions that previously felt elusive or cumbersome to embrace.
Module 3 - Illuminate with Fire
Module 3 kicks off at the midpoint of the fall season as you make another quarter turn clockwise around the Compass of Creation and step into the South direction. During this season of harvest and letting go, you will work with the element of fire and fire based ceremonies to explore three core areas:
1. Amplify your light as you stoke the fires of transformation.
2. Clear and release core wounds.
3. Illuminate the path of destiny.
Through ceremony, shamanic journeying, and other sacred practices you will work with three self-selected medicine stones. These stones will be added to your personal medicine bundle.
In the South you will stoke your inner fire as you . . .
- liberate yourself from unhealthy bonds, stories, and attachments.
- reconnect with the purity your true nature.
- strengthen your inner light.
- work with fire as an ally for rapid change and transformation.
- work with fire to explore and illuminate how core wounds take root in your life.
- transmute core wounds into wisdom.
- attune to the wisdom and messages of the fire itself as you work with it in ceremony.
- release fated pathways and embrace your ability to freely choose a path of destiny.
- harvest what you planted in your life.
As you work with the direction of the South and element of fire, you will begin to notice your light rippling throughout your world. You will reconnect with the magic your soul came here to share and you will notice new pathways opening for you.
Module 4 - Journey within + Create with Water
Making the final turn on the Compass of Creation, you will step into the direction of the West. At the midpoint of the winter season you will explore your inner worlds: your dreams, desires, and how to create them in your life. In the direction of the west, you will step into the void, the dark space, andwork with the element of water to explore three core areas:
1. The power and gifts of your emotions.
2. Creative rhythms, cycles, and timing.
3. The birthplace of creation.
Through ceremony, shamanic journeying, and other sacred practices you will work with three self-selected medicine stones. These stones will be added to your personal medicine bundle.
In the West you will flow with the waters of creation as you . . .
- lovingly bring hidden emotions to light.
- recognize your relationship with emotions and how to let them flow in empowering ways.
- explore boundaries, protection, and strenghtening your energetic space.
- refine the ways your energy to flows in your relationships, work, home, etc.

Melissa Heavener
It has been a honor to work with Lori A. Andrus. She has dedicated her life to the path with heart and fully embodies and lives her teachings.
I had already been working with Andrean wisdom keepers and learning through oral tradition for many years when a dear friend introduced me to Lori. The medicine wheel program Lori offered at the moment called to me for months and I hesitated. “I am not a beginner”, I thought. However, that is the true beauty of this work; beginner or seasoned, the turning of the wheel is exactly the same. You will get exactly what you are ready and ask for.
Lori’s programs have been a deeply cherished part of my life. With Lori’s attentive guidance it is a gathering of soulful adventurers who support, laugh, and grow together in a judgment free environment.
The program is challenging while teaching practical daily rituals to incorporate into your every day self care routines.
Regardless of what you do on a daily basis it will enhance and root into other facets of your work and social life while deeply nourishing you.
Veronica Paduch
Shamanic studies with Lori was a truly enlightening experience.
I heard the call while in sacred space at the oceans edge and couldn’t wait to start class. Mother Earth and the Universe shared their message with me several times “It’s time to start your shamanic training”. I had no idea the depth of healing that would occur within one year. Heck, I don’t even think I knew I was a healer or that I required healing for that matter.
This journey allowed me to heal deep wounds, stories that were stored in my body for years. It also helped me to recognize my abilities as a healer and how magical my fellow classmates are as healers. I now enjoy friendships with some of the most beautiful people mind, body, and soul.
As I sit writing this, I realize my connection with Spirit has increased along with the language in which I speak. A few words came into my awareness are drop into your heart, ceremony, healing journey, soulful friends and follow your knowing.
Each day I spend time connecting with the earth and spirit in a sort of ritual. I now engage in ceremony to honor what shows up that could be troubling and lean on friends when I need a chat or healing session.
I am so happy I was lead here. This is where I stepped into my wholeness and continue my Soulful Journey. Thank you, Lori.
Bobbie Jo
Lori is deeply connected to her inner wisdom, knowing, and truth. Her mere presence radiates a wise soul, gentle spirit and open heart.
She lovingly guides and nurtures women along their journey to discover this inherent truth in themselves.
There is nothing more rewarding than living your life in sacred alignment. Lori has the knowledge, tools, and heart to help guide you into this sacred place of being.
Anna Silvernail
Lori is a gifted, soulful teacher with so much to give.
I felt beautifully, wonderfully, and deeply connected to her and each of my fellow students (in the Journey Jewels Certification Program).
My heart is full, and I am so grateful for all I’ve learned and received.
Monica Kenton
Lori Andrus has an amazing ability to see the unseen spiritual connections that bind us all.
She helps people to uncover those connections to self and embody it for powerful transformation. Her connection to the creative forces around her brings in a sense of playfulness and fun. Lori walks her talk.
She is wise, intelligent, connected, fun, creative, innovative, powerful, and tenacious. When you work with her, you will not be disappointed. She will guide you to your own sacred spiritual wisdom in a way that truly will leave you in awe. And it will be in a way that is uniquely you.
That is something truly special and amazing!
Dr. Vanessa Sage
Working with Lori feels like entering into a deep pool of healing love. Lori guides you along your path, allowing you to see and reveal all that you carry so that you can finally set it down. She holds you through your fear, resistance, and pain in the most loving embrace.
Lori is a gifted healer. You are never alone and working with her is truly transformational. You listen to the messages of your soul in the sacred container Lori provides and leave a session with her with a clear sense of direction.
I highly recommend Lori’s work!

I missed the 5 week Foundations class. When will that be offered again?
The Foundations of Ceremony 5-week class is a pre-requisite for this journey. It will be offered again in the fall of 2023. Stay tuned for more details.
This journey will be offered again in Spring of 2024.
Does this class offer a certification?
Yes.
If you choose to complete program case studies and other expectations, you will be eligible for a certification as a Ceremonial Guide.
How much time will I need to devote to this course each week?
This depends a lot on your learning style. If you would like to stay on pace with the course content, you are encouraged to schedule a couple hours each week to sink into the class material. You can do this all in one day or spread it out by doing a bit each day.
The weekly Live calls are about 75 min. They are a Q+A format. We will sink into a connection practice to open and then open the call for shares, questions, and deeper exploration.
The pre-recorded class content is approximately 60-90 min each week.
Moving through each class takes a bit of time as they include meditations, ceremonies, reflections, and more. If you were to schedule 30 minutes daily, you would have more than enough time to move through this class with a sense of spaciousness.
What materials do I need to have for this program.
This is a great question.
This program will guide you through earth-based practices, ceremonies, and rituals. Along the way you will be creating a medicine bundle and other sacred objects to reflect your unique wisdom and medicine. That said, many of these items will come to you in your perfect time and will be introduced along the way. These will be items such as: a drum, rattle, flute, talking stick, medicine staff, sacred cloths, crystals and stones, bells, chimes, feathers, feather fans, etc.
For this class you will need . . .
- good internet and an uninterrupted online connection so that you are able to actively participate and share your experiences.
- a quiet, comfortable space, without distractions, where you will be able to be fully present with the class and your journey experiences.
- a crystal or stone to serve as an anchor point while journeying.
- 3 found stones from your local area. (We will talk about this further as we get started.)
- a small pouch or cloth to hold your stones.
- items to create a small altar. For example: a candle, crystals, stones, seeds, branches or piece of wood, shells, flowers, bowl with water etc.
- incense, essential oils, cleansing spray, or smudge for creating sacred space and refreshing the energy between journeys.
