Lorenna Bousquet-Kacera is the founder of Shamanu: Earth Wisdom Teachings ®and co-founder of The Living Centre, an Earth-centred sanctuary she has tended with her beloved, Shantree..

Her life and teachings have grown from an intimate relationship with the living Earth. From fishing boats and spiritual communities to the mountains of the Yukon and the jungles of Costa Rica, Lorenna’s path has been one of listening deeply to the intelligence of the body, the Five Sacred Elements, and the more-than-human world.

Through Shamanu® and her signature practice, Primordial Movement®, Lorenna invites people into the lived experience that we are nature. Her work weaves eco-somatics, movement, breath, sound, elemental awareness, ritual, and Earth wisdom into practices of embodied remembering and participation.

Lorenna brings to her work the lived perspective of a Métis Elder of Lakota descent, alongside more than five decades of teaching and walking an Earth-centred path. Her teaching has become a practical eloquence that explores how we become fully present, alive, and responsive participants within a living Earth. Her work invites us to reclaim the Original Human beneath the layers of culture and conditioning, and to rediscover the creativity, sensitivity, belonging, and relational intelligence that are already within us.

For Lorenna, this is less about finding another path to follow and more about returning to a deeper way of listening: to the body, to Earth, to one another, and to the deeper movement of Life itself.
