METHODOLOGY

Sacred Warrior courses, workshops and retreats invite the Earth and your body into experiences as teachers, encouraging you to learn from the land and to embrace your animal nature. Teachings of ecology and local plant medicine are woven into experiences to inspire a sense of interconnection, recall ancestral healing practices & deepen intimacy with the living Earth. Sacred Warrior is ever-evolving and committed to facilitating from a place of sensitivity, social equity and environmental awareness.

BRIEF BACKGROUND

Founded in 2013 by author, herbalist, environmental activist and former pro-boxer Vanessa Chakour, Sacred Warrior has had many iterations — from martial arts programs, plant walks and herbalism training in the urban wilds of Brooklyn, to retreats and workshops with organizations like the Wolf Conservation Center in New York (a collaborative partner for over 8 years) and Alladale Wilderness Reserve in the Scottish Highlands. Now based in Western Massachusetts, Sacred Warrior workshops, training & retreats have been offered throughout the Northeastern United States, Costa Rica and Scotland in collaboration with local teachers and wildlife organizations.
