About Us

Our Mission

The mission of the Medicine Weaver School is to connect, educate, and empower a community of Medicine Weavers– visionary healers, artists and shamanic change-makers who are engaging in the brave work of unearthing their True Nature and offering their Soulful Creativity in service to their communities and our planet.

Our hope is that the collective work of our community will contribute to the midwifing of a new dream for our planet, so that future generations might look back on this time in gratitude and recognize it as a great turning in human history. A time when we woke up, remembered the truth of who we are, and started leading with love.

Our Philosophy

We believe that medicine exists in everything. It extends out in all directions. It exists in the earth and the sky, in the plants and animals, and within each one of us. The difference between humans and the rest of life, is that while a hawk knows nothing except to live its medicine, humans seem to have a choice in the matter. We have to embark on a journey to discover ours.

Most of modern culture has forgotten this choice, and sacrificed the medicine ways in pursuit of ego driven agendas. This choice has come at great cost to our health, safety and overall well-being. The challenges we face have grown to such immense proportions that many people feel lost or helpless as to how they can make a difference. This is the way it goes when you attempt to solve problems through the faculties of the mind—the same trap that got us into this mess.

Instead, we believe we are being called to access a greater intelligence, the intelligence that dwells in the medicine of our Souls, and in all of nature. An intelligence that is far wiser than our intellect, and has the power to guide us into a new era, if we allow it.

Shamanic change-making is a term we use to describe that act of collaborating with this type of intelligence to dream and create new realities into being.

Sacred creativity is the vehicle by which this kind of change-making happens. It is the creativity that emerges through us when we are able to get out of the way and allow the medicine of our Souls to manifest in the world.

We believe that returning to the ways of sacred creativity and shamanic change-making is our way forward, and that a global uprising of people dedicated to collaborating with the intelligence of the earth and our innate medicine will birth the change that’s needed on our planet.

Our Values

Serve Spirit – Our intention above all else is to live our lives and conduct our business in service to Spirit. This starts with experiencing the world as medicine and becoming aware of Spirit in all beings and all things, including ourselves. It means taking time for our daily practices to be in conversation with Spirit and listen for guidance. And it means following through on our guidance with right action.

Align with Nature – Nature knows no other way that to exist as medicine. We believe that aligning with her cycles and rhythms is essential to anyone embarking on path of service to humanity and our planet. Her way is patient and slow, and requires deep listening. She helps us to heal, reveals to us our true nature, guides our path forward and teaches us to create in harmony with all of life.

Create with Soul – We value soul-inspired creativity in all of its many forms– that is, the type of creativity that flows through you when you are able to get out of the way and let Spirit take the lead. We believe that this type of creativity is an essential aspect of our way forward as a planet, and that taking time to cultivate your Divine creative capacity is one of the most important tasks (and greatest acts of service) of our times.

Enjoy the Journey – We value the path of joy and believe that the golden line of our purpose is glittered in it. While everything isn’t always rainbows and unicorns, we believe in following what lights you up, and that in doing so you will find your medicine.

Ask for Help – True service starts with tending to ourselves and our own healing. Each one of us is responsible to know when we are available to serve, when we need to take care of ourselves, and when we need to ask for help. We are not islands and none of us are meant to do this work alone. It is an act of courage to ask for help.

Love Everybody – Love is the strongest medicine of all, and we strive to create space where everyone feels safe, accepted and loved. We believe that loving everybody starts with loving and accepting ourselves. And that means every part of us. That love then ripples out into creating safe, loving and inclusive space for people of all identities and backgrounds.

Tell the Truth – Our truth is our medicine. It illuminates our path and sets us free from that which is not in alignment with our highest good. We value expressing truth and listening to truth– beautiful truths, difficult truths and all the ones in between.

Meet Megan

My name is Megan Theoret and I am the Founder & Chief Weaver of the Medicine Weaver School for Sacred Creativity and Shamanic-Change Making. I am trained as a shamanic healer, ceremonialist and nature-based guide, with fifteen years of experience in shamanic practice. I have studied with both contemporary and indigenous teachers, including the Shipibo-Conibo and Qero of Peru, the Wixarika of Mexico, and the Maya of Guatemala. I am also a musician, writer and graphic designer and have a great love for creativity, beauty and entrepreneurship.

My initiation into shamanic work began in my mid-twenties with a chronic and debilitating illness that doctors couldn’t explain. Through my quest for healing I discovered that there is an innate life force within each one of us that is always at work, either building us up or tearing us down. At that time in my life, mine was working so actively against me that it was destroying my body.

Becoming conscious of my creative ability and learning to harness it for good was life changing. It enabled me to begin a long but fruitful journey of mind, body and heart healing, and eventually also led me to a path of service.

My intention with the Medicine Weaver School is to pass on some of the medicine that has been shared with me through 15 years of study, practice, and self-discovery, and to also create a space for friends and colleagues who have been on similar initiatory journeys to offer their wisdom.

It is my hope that as more people participate in this work we will connect and grow a community of Medicine Weavers, and that together we might create something even greater and yet to be imagined.

This project is still very much in its early stages. If you’d like to see what we’re all about, consider joining one of our upcoming programs. I’m so grateful for your interest, and I hope to see you there!
