This is a self study course, and it is easy to navigate through the online materials. In addition, there are three dynamic live sessions of healing love and light with Dr. Paula Petry. During these sessions, you will come into stillness, receive teaching moments, authentically share, and go on powerful shamanic journeys to connect with your spirit guides and your inner wisdom. Personal growth is magnified in these sessions, as you discover hidden aspects of yourself.
Expressive arts practices are woven throughout the course. This approach to learning and self-discovery gives one’s internal process physical form which creates new understandings and a greater freedom to make life-affirming decisions. The expressive arts is an integrative approach, allowing for different simultaneous sensory experiences which allows a creative process to override linear thinking – sparking the imagination and giving way to new expression, uncovering aspects of self that had not been seen before.
Teaching documents give you access to new learning about the medicine wheel’s history, meaning, and applicability to your own life. Other content areas that are described in detail and in printable PDF format include: chakra system, auric field, shamanic practices, archetypes, Enneagram soul profiles, and a comprehensive list of resources for going forward.
Six downloadable MP3 files are provided to support your self-exploration. They include: Sacred Garden journey, Tree Meditation, Meet Your Supernatural Ally, Drumming to Create Your Own Journey, How Toning Works to Create Wellbeing and Practice Toning Each Chakra. Having them to revisit has been found to be helpful.

Each of the Seven sessions has approximately 1 hour of reading materials, one hour of reflective processes, and at three separate intervals 75 minutes of virtual class time. These three components are woven together purposefully to help you maximize the teachings of the Medicine Wheel. Completing the reading and processes in order is beneficial, but not essential. Your 75 minute live virtual class is facilitated by Dr. Paula Petry. It begins with a short meditation followed by a teaching, group sharing, and a shamanic journey.
In 2012, Dr. Petry partnered with a renown evaluation and measurement consult to create a questionnaire, The Joyful Living Questionnaire) to measure the effectiveness of Dr. Petry’s workshops, retreats, and conferences. Given the widespread increase in anxiety, depression, and stress, we wanted to create programs designed to decrease these symptoms while increasing people’s levels of joy and inner peace.
Over the past 12 years, we have been amazed to the degree to which our programs create positive shifts in people’s lives. The process of journeying inward within a loving, supportive, and non-judgmental environment and with new tools – people experience an inner awakening that results in a significant positive shift in their fundamental outlook on life. In addition, as their level of joy rose – their medical symptoms decreased. Quantifying these types of changes through pre and post questionnaires is important for the integration of these practices into the mainstream society.
Caregiver stress can have a significant negative impact on health. For that reason, I am offering scholarships for families who have a loved one with a developmental disability or other special needs.
