We follow threads of wisdom and power as they
reveal themselves, in alignment with all who ar-
rive with their love, their lives, their tales, their
yearnings. We laugh together, we learn and heal
together. Building on what people know already, I
honor that everyone has deep wisdom yearning to
come to the surface to be applied. In fact, sound
rattles and shakes loose deeply held wisdom and
power below the conscious line, and out of dream
time into the present.
I have so much appreciation for my life. I honor
my teachers incarnate—Jan Engels-Smith, Mi-
chael and Sandra Harner, Tom Cowan, Tom Ken-
yon, Jonathan Goldman, Bradford Keeney, Betsy
Bergstrom. I bow to the people who sit in circle,
in session, in ceremony, for drawing the spiri-
tual power and wisdom from the divine realms,
through me, to the healing and learning that takes
place. And, I bow in deep gratitude to my council
of helping spirits, who are orchestrating beauty
and grace out ahead of us on all of our paths.

Lauri attributes her mastery in sha-
manic sound healing to her prolonged
studies and ceremonies with Jan En-
gels Smith and the LightSong School
of Shamanic Studies, her studies with
Michael Harner and the Foundation for Shaman-
ic Studies, her direct experiences with the spirits,
medicine songs, bird language, and her extensive
time facilitating learning experiences in sound,
nature and shamanism. Her deep love and con-
nection with the Earth and nature emerged from
her early days in the mountains working with
young people in the camping program of the
YMCA. This love further developed through 20+
years of ecological studies as a graduate (MS and
Ph.D.) in ecology, a professor in Forestry (NC State
University) and Science Education (Portland State
University), and as a government scientist (PNW
Research Station, USFS). Her unique experien-
tial facilitating style was honed during her time
running a nonprofit teaching young people and
adults about science in the outdoors, in the YMCA
camping program, and her years running science
education programs through PSU, Deerdance,
and Jackson Bottom Wetland Reserve. She cur-
rently has a thriving healing practice seeking to
help people reach their next levels of wellness and
life achievement. Lauri facilitates an extensive
curriculum teaching people how to access pow-
er, wisdom to create and transform through spir-
it-guided sound. She co-owns and runs Hidden
Lake Retreat, a small retreat center near Portland
Oregon, where she chefs, herds cats, conducts cer-
emony and offers her healing services.
