I'm so grateful to have learned Odissi from Sheena and to have had the opportunity to collaborate in a few shows with her. She is a very kind, patient and knowledgeable teacher who inspires each student to do their best. It's such a precious opportunity to be in her classes.
Gracias,

The Temple Dance is a life changing Practice. I started my journey about six years ago now. There are so many levels to the dance, it covers a wide range of disciplines. From martial arts, yoga and meditation. Shekinah has been a huge part of my journey as my guru. Her classes are gentle and hold space as you discover the layers of physical and emotional waves. Also she is fierce and guides you to push yourself, and to be proud of your accomplishments within the Practice. She has spiritual understanding of this Practice by being trained in India and her own studying. She's an amazing teacher and I am very confident in saying, it's an experience you will cherish forever. Being in Shekinah's presence is amazing!! I feel empowered and inspired.

This location, cabin and property are an absolute sanctuary! We were able to completely relax, unplug and soak in some much needed healing from the mountains, forest, gardens, natural pool and sauna!! Though it is remote there is access to absolutely everything you might need in beautiful little Kaslo 5-mins away & if the spring-fed cold-plunge pool is too glacier fresh for your liking, you can drive 10 minutes in either direction to find pristine driftwood beaches and play in Kootenay Lake! Sheena and her partner were supportive and attentive, they helped get the sauna warmed up and start us a fire in the evening, made sure we had everything we needed - but kept respectful distance so that we could enjoy the peaceful privacy of their little cabin. The cabin itself is a dream, next to a magical garden, musical creek - and guarded by forest fairies. Wildflowers, dragonflies and mountain peaks as far as the eye can see. We will definitely be back, and bringing family and friends too!

Shekinah and Robert were such wonderful hosts! Their adorable little cabin nestled on the hillside with the most incredible views will take your breath away. The cabin itself is brilliantly set up and totally private with gorgeous decorating and all the essentials you'll need - it feels like a magazine! The bed is SUPER comfy and if you leave a window open while you sleep, the creek nearby will lull you to sleep beautifully. We watched the sun rise over the mountains each morning with our coffee and spent lots of time outside, enjoying the lush greenery and wildflowers surrounding the property. There are also lots of great books to read, and a lovely wood burning sauna that we used before taking a plunge in the natural cold pool. It's only 5 minutes from Kaslo but you won't want to leave once you get settled in. Pictures do not do this wonderful place justice, it's better than you could ever imagine. 10/10, we HIGHLY recommend staying here and we'll certainly be back again someday very soon!

Robert has such a powerful gift of directing and moving the energy of the collective which is the room through sound. His sound healing was a time portal unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Robert’s intuition is mind blowing. His capacity to see into a person’s story and how they are engaging with it is extraordinary. His wisdom is potent and has been very helpful. The way he uses this wisdom with sound can shift the energy in the room through all kinds of portals with a grace I’ve never seen before in sound healing ~ as if each sound and transition between the different sounds were indistinguishable.

My session with Robert allowed me to feel both connection and disconnection. About half-way through I literally felt my spiritual body lift free from my physical body. It was as if I was looking at myself outside of myself, freeing me from any limitations. And if you’re not ready for that kind of experience, just relax and breathe in the soothing beats and vibrations of the sound therapy and singing bowls.

Robert's gentle nature combined with his skills in energy medicines made my treatment both healing and balancing. He was also able to give me insight into past and present energies, along with knowledge to carry forward for healing and growth. I highly recommend Robert’s sessions. They are truly healing. Thank you and blessings.

Robert is an amazing soul, who has always remembered the beautiful gift that he came to this Earth with. He has shared it with me in many sessions that have guided me into so many ways of healing myself. His genuine natural abilities touch one to their inner being – helping one understand much about themselves that they didn’t before.

I went into my shamanic session skeptical and not knowing what to expect! I knew our paths were meant to cross so I was optimistic. The hour and a half appointment was one of the most relaxing, energizing, clearing and educational experiences I have had. I learnt about chakra clearing, what areas are strong and what to improve and notice. Robert educated me on my aura and light body, strengthened it and helped with alignment. He shared messages from spirit guides and my higher self that resonated with me. He shared what my strengths are, cleared and moved energy, and highlighted areas I could look out for and work on. The sound therapy was so peaceful, and the use of crystals were fascinating to experience and very enlightening. The intuitive guidance that Robert shared was enriching, profound and accurate. When Robert was done, the information and accuracy of who I believe I am, and the personality traits I express, he nailed it. I am forever grateful and changed from our appointment. Looking forward to the next.

The first time I met Robert I instantly felt a connection. His presence alone is very peaceful. I can’t speak highly enough about his sessions. They heal you in ways you didn’t know needed healing. I have had the great pleasure of getting to know him and his soul is captivating, you just want to know more and be with him more. Robert... thanks.

I attended the Past Lives Workshop with Robert at Soul Feast in Kenosee Lake! I enjoyed the teachings on past lives and the meditations immensely! It was very calming and relaxing yet the combined energy of the group and the sounds of the bowls provided a very powerful experience! I had a very vivid journey and really appreciated Robert’s insights and guidance!

I absolutely love Ayurvedic massage with Shekinah! It’s a whole body massage but so much more. Shekinah has gifts of intuition, healing touch, and loving presence. I always feel so much more relaxed and in tune with my body after treatment and I smell delicious thanks to her custom blended oils from India. Highly recommended!

My treatment with Robert was indescribable; his technique was nothing I had experienced before. The process was very relaxing for me and the insights from Robert following the session really helped to bring closure and a better understanding of why I am the way that I am.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Shekinah over the past ten years. She is the kind of therapist that not only listens to the words you speak but also listens to your body. She truly understands the body, mind, and soul. After every session I can’t even begin to describe how great my body and state of mind are feeling. This lovely energy carries with me throughout the day. You absolutely feel aligned with body, mind and heart after an experience with her. Thank you so much for all the help and hope you have given me.

When I first went to see Robert I had absolutely no idea what his sessions were about, but that people just seemed drawn to him. Anyone I knew who went to see him always had nothing but good things to say. I went in with an open mind and was totally blown away by my experience. Robert has helped me with several issues and has always left me with a more open and intriguing way of looking at things. He has shown me possibilities I never even could have dreamed. Robert’s huge loving heart, giving personality and openness come across very strongly in his work.

I’ve had three sessions with Robert. I started meditating about six or seven years ago which has changed my life for the better in so many ways. I met Robert about two and a half years ago. Our first session together was so powerful for me. It was the first meditation I experienced with singing bowls bringing me into meditation deeper than I’d ever experienced. I had visions, past life experience and spirit animal messages all explained to me by Robert even though I didn’t tell him what I had just experienced in my meditation. How did he see what I saw? I had never really thought of my own past life before or a spirit animal for me, so this was so cool. I was able to deepen my insight and meditations after this amazing experience and to heal and understand myself at another level. Each session with Robert takes me to the next level of my journey and I am so grateful for this adventure.

Shekinah is a beautiful soul who puts her everything into what she does. When I needed to take some time for myself, her guided yoga turned into transformative healing and a journey into acceptance. She listened to me, responded to me, and validated my own interpretations of what my body was telling me. When I wanted to go deeper, she walked me through a guided meditation that helped me recognize and release some very long held thoughts that were influencing me in ways I wasn’t aware of. She helped put me on a path, and I am forever grateful to her for her compassion, acceptance and encouragement.

I came to the workshop filled with a lot of unprocessed emotion- fear, anxiety, anger and sadness - especially connected to expressing myself. I've always turned to music for solace and for joy. Robert’s singing bowl bath was wonderful yet hard for me to describe the journey and what it does. Perhaps a good reminder that there is much more to this existence than we can describe or see. For me, it really soothed my bruised heart and calmed my fears. Then the reading at the end was delightful, and felt like a nudge from the universe to not minimize what I have to say, as the bluebird who showed up encouraged. As I left the workshop, I can't be sure, but a bird in the distance was making noises (maybe a stellar jay) as if to say....remember! I appreciated the reminder of how as a group we have insights to offer to each other and there was a lot of resonance for me in many of others' sharing. A day later I still feel inspired and more confident. I have had a few affirmations about the value of my words in the few short hours since. I would highly recommend Robert’s shamanic sound healing sessions to anyone....might gift some family members a private or group session.

My first experience with Shekinah was in Odissi Dance Training which I loved and had a lot of fun doing. She knows her stuff and is an amazing teacher, lots to learn from this powerful woman. Most recently I did a reading with her virtually that I found to be super accurate. This reading has inspired me in many ways and since then I have made some very positive changes to my life. I left behind some habits and thought patterns that were not serving me, this allowed me to become lighter and feel freer in my body. Today I am glowing and so happy. Of course the work was mine to do but Shekinah's wisdom and guidance was a huge support in pushing me in the right direction. I am thankful. She is a beautiful person inside and out and an inspiration to me and many others.
