Lorenna Bousquet-Kacera is the founder of Shamanu: Earth Wisdom Teachings, an eco-spiritual practice that integrates ancient Earth wisdom, Deep Ecology, Eco-creativity, and the Work That Reconnects. Lorenna is also the co-director of The Living Centre, an eco-spiritual education sanctuary with her husband, Shantree. Through her diverse offerings, she empowers individuals to reconnect with their true selves and the wisdom of the Earth, fostering healing through embodied practices, ritual, and sacred ceremony.

Lorenna’s journey has been shaped by her lifelong immersion in nature, spiritual communities, and the study of holistic healing. From her time on fishing boats in the early '70s to living in the mountains, Yukon, and Costa Rican jungles, she has cultivated a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of all life. This connection to nature is the foundation of her teachings, which blend somatic movement, sound, and elemental processes to awaken the spiritual forces within.

Through Shamanu, Lorenna offers transformative practices such as Primordial Movement, Elemental Dance, and Sacred Rituals, inviting individuals to reawaken their connection to the Earth’s cycles and align with their innate wisdom. Drawing from her Métis and Lakota heritage, Lorenna’s work is a celebration of Earth-centered cosmology, embodied healing, and the power of creativity in cultivating a new cultural narrative of unity and reverence for all life.

With over 35 years of experience as a teacher, healer, and facilitator, Lorenna’s approach is deeply rooted in her personal healing journey, which includes the resolution of trauma and the reclamation of cultural wisdom. Her teachings are not just theoretical but practical, providing tools for living an empowered, ecologically attuned, and spiritually rich life.
