What my Students have to say about the School:

Great news!!! Yesterday I finally interviewed for a nearby Library Director position; they asked what my strength was, and I confidently replied that listening is my super power. There is no doubt that I aced that interview in part because of YOUR shaman school. Today the library notified me that the offer letter is forthcoming!Caroline M., Michigan

“I absolutely admire you as a teacher, as a practitioner of the ancient ways, and as a human being in general.  I align with how you walk in the world, and what you teach, as well.  Every facet of the shaman school was enjoyable and exciting to learn.  As you said, Harry Potter School!!” John Michael M., Sedona

“I’m glad I’m going through this shaman journey with you. You are real, not like the others.” Trang K, Oregon

“I wanted to tell you Thank You again for taking me on the journey to become a shaman. It was life changing for me. I feel it brought me close to my truest self. It was like coming home. I carry that with me every day regardless of how I am feeling and I am just so grateful for having had the opportunity to work with you. Thank you for being you and sharing your gift!” Susan T., Missouri

“Thank you for another beautiful class. Each day seems more cleansing and powerful than the previous one.” Nancy J., CA

“I so love the class! I am just enjoying very much everything I am reading and learning. So far, the shaman teachings have quite transformed by life. Just in the last month, I’ve been able to release some unhealthy habits and create new very healthy ones. I am very energized! Thank you!” Linda B., Utah

“Thank you for sharing your stories and wisdom today.  I was nervous to join this class and wasn't even sure if it was for me.  By the end of class, just wow! I did my sand painting. I could not believe how doing something so simple could affect me so profoundly.  I can’t express how happy I am to be on this journey and how it’s at the correct time. Thank you again!” Melissa L., Connecticut

What a pleasure to learn this way in and out of the garden, soft breeze, hummingbirds, yet so deep and profound, life changing! Thank you for being a beautiful, clear and generous teacher. I am a different person from the me who started class.” Anne G, Minnesota

I love your smile and calm and support. Harmony is felt in the class. I love it. Thank you for starting the school and keeping it going. I had a dream to be a shaman. I didn’t know how until you showed up. Thank you for making my dream come true.” Nina S, Toronto

Thank you for opening your home and heart to all of us. I am truly grateful and honored to be a part of this lineage because of you. You are a powerful Shaman.” Jody McK, Texas

We met in Ireland and I awoke to the recognition that there was something more to life when you did the despacho and the fire ceremony. My life has changed. I have changed and left so many limiting beliefs behind. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!Mary R, New Jersey

Thank you so much for this School. You brought me into my higher self.” Jill McK, Florida

Thank you for sharing your light and sharing the shamanic way of interacting with the world. Time has passed so rapidly and a lot of work was done. Thank you for the lessons you brought up, for your wise, joyful, and peaceful teaching.Vadim S., Switzerland

When I met Michelle Karén, I knew I had to join her School. It was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. Through the Four Directions, I have been able to release everything that had been holding me back -limiting beliefs about myself, negative narratives that had been ruling my life. I have gotten back to my true divine self. I am so grateful to her and recommend wholeheartedly working with Michelle to anyone who wants to transform their life for the best.Clint P, Oklahoma

I am forever grateful for this journey through your Shaman School. I love this work and have been transformed by it. Fears have dropped away with every direction we moved through. The Shadow work helped me create a closer, more open relationship with my Mom. It has been a magical experience all the way. I’ve faced my greatest fears and moved beyond them to a solid place of empowerment.” Robin E., Iowa

Tu es merveilleuse comme prof. Tu es “crystal clear”. Tu nous enseignes une magie qui redonne un sens à la vie dans toutes ses dimensions. Tout a été très bien intégré grâce à ta disponibilité et ton professionalisme.Joan C., Québec, Canada

Thank you for an amazing mystical School!!! The experience was magical. I really feel that we had a lot of time to interact with each other and especially you…. Thanks to you we were able to have unforgettable experiences. Oh yea, and the tools you provided us with, wow!!! Plus the way you taught made it very understandable. Thank you!Mark S, Arizona

I wanted to tell you how much the School has changed my life. I arrived in Phoenix with a dark heaviness that I had carried for a long time. I am blessed that my Higher Self pushed me to come. I want to thank you for honoring us with your teaching and love. I feel so blessed right now, you cannot imagine. The incredible healing I experienced happened because of your beautiful soul being there and bringing us together. Thank you, thank you, thank you!Lisa R, New York

“I am a graduate of the first class that Michelle taught. I could write a book about that first group of us. There were so many funny and heartfelt moments! (If she hasn’t already told you, ask Michelle about the squirrel incident! ). The knowledge I gained in Michelle’s class had a profound impact on me. I carry those teachings deep within, they are now part of who I am. While I am not practicing as many of you may be, I feel a pull, as my health is improving, to move in a different direction: carrying the traditions and wisdom with me but sharing in a different way. No matter how you choose to move forward with your teachings and practice, the experiences and knowledge you will be gaining are life altering and applicable across all spectrums of your life. Whether you open a healing practice, write a book, use it in your day-to-day life with family and close friends, move into a creative endeavor that encompasses the wisdom, know that it moves us all forward as the collective. One of the most wonderful things that came out of doing this was the relationships that were established that continue to this day. The gift of these friendships has been and is priceless!” Sue T, Missouri



Yesterday I graduated as a shaman of Q’ero Peruvian (FMH: Full Mesa Holder).
I have to say that it was the best and the most changing education I’ve ever been in in my life.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Michelle Karén
— Hannele A (Finland)
By coincidence (...not!), I’ve been lately going through some major prepping up for the new phase in my life by travelling around the Medicine Wheel in the Llankay, Munay, Yachay School of Shamanic Studies. I just “graduated”, became a full mesa holder (FMH) and could basically call myself a shaman now, being a part of the lineage of ancient wisdom keepers, those who walk “in between” the ordinary reality and the non-ordinary reality beyond time and space. I feel truly honored having been called to take this path and being allowed to use its tools to help create harmony and healing in this world, for the highest good.
I don’t know how this new chapter will start unfolding, and I don’t need to know. I’m willing to step into the unknown because what I do know is that I’m going to be flying wing-to-wing with the Great Spirit, singing the Song of Life with my fullest expression.
It has been an amazing journey that I feel very, very inspired to continue as a FMH! Big wow!! 🤩
A special thank you from the bottom of my heart to Michelle Karén for all the guidance on this path of a shaman.
— Anna P (Finland)
Yay me 🤪 just completed my Shaman Training online with this Amazing School and phenomenal teacher. Highly recommend it. Thank you Michelle for your guidance and taking the step to create an online course so that we could all learn a wonderful set of skills.
I learnt so much about myself and deepened my awareness and relationship with Gaia, my Divine Self, spirit and the Creative Source.
It was an honor and blessing to have trained with you and co-create a sisterhood of ‘FMHs’🤪🥰🌺xo
— Sarah R (Australia)
Thank you Michelle. I loved the School. You are so natural and balanced. It was an amazing experience- a world wind ride around the medicine wheel in under a year. It was a great honor to be under your wing to be guided , inspired and taught for a journey that is only just beginning. Greetings and Munay to my fellow FMHs - We’ve got the golden ticket together 🥰🥰🥰The journey continues!
— Danielle H (South Africa/Germany/Italy)
Did my second medicine wheel round with this group (first in person). Still learning heaps! Getting to know this group was a plesure! ❤ ❤ ❤
— Jaana K (Finland)
To say Michelle’s school is ‘transformative’ is an understatement. Her classes are multi-faceted opportunities to learn and grow on levels you may not initially conceive of (or may never conceive of!). The camaraderie among like-minded students of life is unparalleled in any other type of class or workshop I’ve participated in. Michelle is a rare teacher in that she unabashedly shares her own growth—her own humanity. It was an honor to begin and finish the four directions and become a full mesa holder. It is with great anticipation that I await her advanced class! Whether you want to be a practicing shaman by trade or only in lifestyle or just want to *truly* know yourself—these classes are for you. -
— Caroline M, MN
Dear Michelle, I am so grateful to have received my Shaman training under your tutelage, and to also have experienced it all with the same group of amazing women.

More importantly, though, I want to thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge in such a kind, compassionate and patient way, and with so many moments of levity and laughter; the training was a truly fulfilling experience for me, and to claim it was an amazing 16-days in total is an understatement. Thank you for literally opening new worlds to me. Thank you!

I wish you continued good health and happiness, and send you much love and many blessings. Now it’s time for me to go and create my Huaca… advanced class here I come!
— Kelly L, Vancouver B.C.
I’m very glad that I am in the school. It’s amazing.
— Miika R, Helsinki, Finland
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom! I feel very fortunate to have your coaching and support. Lots of shifts for me. I continue to transform and live in love, peace, and joy.
— Ying W., Vancouver, B.C.
Thank you again for the class !! It nourishes my soul and enriches my life.
