Testimonials

Orion is pure heart. He is the real deal. I have a lot of experience with different spiritual healing modalities and recently completed his emergence retreat. The Elebanah forest was a blissful location that perfectly supported my healings. My time there was restful & I felt shift occur. I would be delighted to give a more in depth review down the track when I can evidence the changes in my life.

Orion is first of all a kind man and the healing he offers is from his heart. Through a deep knowledge of shamanism Orion guided my healing with discipline.

Orion really listens with his heart without judgment , he provided the way for me to release the effects of my childhood’s deep trauma from abuse, freed me from a burden I carried over 50 years . This was a life changing experience !
I now feel lighter more truthful.

I had the privilege to be supported by a loving team of healers dedicated to shamanic processes from the level 1 of the Ursus school of shamanism.

I had a most magical Emergence weekend with Orion. Very transformational experience from a very gifted, loving and true Shaman. I felt seen on all levels of my being and the depth of the healing was truly a gift and I was so happy I took the time to receive this life changing experience. With much gratitude Orion. Bless you.

I spent nearly 14 years in the Army with deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. I can honestly say I got more out of a 3 day retreat with Orion than years of  traditional therapy and medication, I wish I had found Orion sooner!

My first 16 years comprised of abuse, neglect and abandonment. I spent a long time undiagnosed then was diagnosed with CPTSD, chronic depression, anxiety disorder, panic attacks and an eating disorder. I coped by isolating myself, drinking and taking drugs. I viewed myself as a perpetual victim.

I always had good intentions, but things seemed to constantly go wrong and fall apart. Over the years my desire to ‘get better’ had me in therapy of many modalities. None ever really worked for me.

I came across Orion over 3 years ago, every day I am so grateful I did. 

I’d spent years in extreme fatigue. I had tried everything from mainstream medical Dr’s, specialists and therapists. Had so many tests, medications and infusions.

I’ve attended counselling in the past and was given a diagnosis of PTSD by a psychologist due different traumas I’ve experienced- sexual abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, abandonment, mother wound. This developed into depression/anxiety and suicidal ideation. The last few years I have really worked on my inner self and tried to heal my traumas. Although counselling helped to a certain extent, I could always feel this deep sense of sadness inside me. A dark hole that I couldn’t get rid of. Depression/anxiety/suicidal thoughts still fleeting around.

I'm not sure I can truly convey my gratitude towards Orion, his community and the beautiful rituals that took place.

After spending most of my life in and out of hospital, never having been away from hospital for longer than 2yrs, I was have been on a path of healing for 10+ years. Still bouncing in and out of hospital with 3 surgeries just 6mths before seeing Orion, I was done and out and feeling incredibly depleted.

I spent 3 days with Orion working through a lot of "stuck" emotional trauma.

I had a deep sadness and fear within me, years of suffering and pain from many traumas I had endured over my life time. I sought out psychiatrists, psychologists, had years of medication, and countless diagnoses, I tried DBT, EMDR, yet gained little relief. I turned to meditation, Reiki, crystals and plant medicine, and realised I had to remove these blockages; that prevented me from living my full abundant life, that is my birthright, my true essence.O had looked into how I could benefit from a Shamanic healing and went looking for a Shaman.

Pete's PTSD Testimonial

I came to Orion 3.5 years into recovery from ice addiction, I'd previously tried all therapies available (medications, c.b.t, d.b,t, e.f.t. meditation, journaling, art therapies, music therapies, counselling etc) without much success. I had PTSD from my childhood followed by a life of living on the edge. I have served in the Army including a tour of East Timor.

Words cannot describe the feeling of freedom and release I feel.

Inner peace, joy, love, safety and trust are only a few words that describe the journey at Elebanah with Orion. Having completed many workshops and healing modalities, this has to be the most connected and profound journey I have ever experienced.

To feel the connection from within brings me to such deep love and gratitude. And so it is my journey and it continues with love, peace and joy.

Thank you for your email, I'm travelling well after the healing.

Floated all the way home haha feeling so much lighter. In the car on the way home from airport, not having discussed anything with my partner at that point, he made the comment that I looked a lot lighter. It's clearly radiating from within.

I believe that the words that came out of my mouth after the second last shamanic ritual were "That was fucking amazing!"

It has now been a week since the retreat and even though I've had a few up and down moments since then, I've handled the lows without turning to alcohol which used to be my go to every time anxiety hit.

My name is Wayne and I will try and keep this brief.

In 2010 my life was normal and generally happy until I lost a multimillion dollar business, a professional business person most of my working life. This is the year my life slowly got ripped apart, I was made bankrupt for a very large sum of money, the family home and the family stability was gutted, everything I had built up over 20 years evaporated.

Finally I lost my marriage, but not my beautiful children!

When I decided to gather a few friends and head to New Mexico last September for Orion’s healing retreat, I knew that I felt as though my life was in a rut. I am a successful career person, good mom, wife, friend and daughter. I am always trying to be there for everyone and at times, I let doing things for myself take a back seat. I am also a two time cancer survivor. My second diagnosis came just a couple of months before the retreat was to begin. “Perfect!” I thought. “I can attend Orion’s retreat and focus on healing my body… ridding it of this stupid cancer.”
