Creators + Teachers
OF THE ASCENSION PROGRAM
Shannon and Gaia came together in 2012 and since then they have combined all of their teaching experience, and knowledge into the many offerings and classes that they have created like the all encompassing one year Ascension Program.
Combined, they have 55 years of extensive experience in working with modern and ancient healing modalities and their own spiritual guidance, teaching and creating courses and leading workshops.
With the ancient techniques and healing tools that they have gathered and embodied, Shannon and Gaia train you so that you have the confidence and clarity to take action with integrity, compassion and the highest possible expression of love for yourself and all sentient beings.
The classes that they offer not only transform you but support you in returning to an abundant flow of energy, that deepens the state of vibrancy, wellbeing and renewal.
They are dedicated to assisting not only you, but also the entirety of our collective so that we all can have a conscious and direct line to the Higher Self/ God/ Source/ Christ Consciousness information.
They use modalities like LightStreaming, high vibrational living foods, fasting, vocal toning and meditative sounds, mantra therapy, mediation, sound tools, advanced mind and body awareness training, bodywork, energy based therapies and the use of DNA repair technologies, Tensor Field Technology along with Advanced Tachyon Energy Technologies and so much more.
These tools and more assist in the release of old physical and mental programs and allow for reprogramming right down to the cellular level, shifting your consciousness, freeing you up and empowering you so that you know you have choices.
Shannon and Gaia are deeply devoted and dedicated to their own personal growth and evolution and by applying the spiritual technologies and techniques in their daily lives so that all beings may benefit and thrive in this ever changing world.
Gaia
Gaia has always had a very curious mind and intuitive approach to life, but what really captured her interest was how the body, mind, and soul connection worked within this reality. She was called to begin Reiki Training in grade 10. This experience of hands-on healing leads her on her journey to dive into the study of Swedish massage. She attended the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts and was awarded her massage therapy diploma in 1997. Fresh out of school in 1997, she opened a successful practice.
Expanding Healing Expertise
Early in her practice, Gaia realized that working with the tissue through massage was not enough. She witnessed so many patterns that just would not heal even though she could feel the tissue was released. She began searching for more tools to help her gain access to the holistic being. During that process, Gaia diligently studied and got certified in systems like Reiki, La Stone Therapy, Crystal Light Therapy, Integrated Energy Therapy, Marconic Energy Healing, Ortho-Bionomy, and Thai Yoga Massage, just for starters.
Sound!
The big “ah-ha” moment came when she discovered sound and her surprisingly deep connection with it! Gaia began her sound journey with Shamanic drumming at the age of 17. Since then, she has had the glorious opportunity to study with teachers like Russel Paul, Tom Kenyon more than once, and Jonathan Goldman, which has forever impacted her direction and approach to working with individuals and groups.
Gaia was called to work with Quartz Crystal Bowls in 1997. Since then, she has been holding sound healing gatherings, doing sound healing treatments, and sound healing ceremonies. Working with the bowls led her to Tibetan metal bowls, Planetary gongs, and Planetary tuners. Gaia continues her studies in tuning fork systems like Acutonics and the Fibonacci Tuning Fork Healing System. She is now certified in Mantra Therapy through the lineage of Namadeva Acharya – Thomas Ashley Farrand taught by Gretchen Carmel (Rajeshwari) and has added this to her repertoire of ancient healing tools. She continues to advance and refine her healing tools and techniques.
Creating Complete Healing Experiences
In her 28 years of experience, she feels that utilizing sound in treatments allows clients to release right down to the cellular level. Crystal singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, etc., proved to be successful tools in assisting in complete healing experiences for most clients.
Your Voice as Your Medicine
Gaia was invited to lead a women’s healing group. She didn’t realize that this experience would forever shift her and open her up to dive deeper into using the human voice.
In 2018, she began sharing her passion and leading toning and mantra groups. To her amazement and surprise, a new form of working with light and sound began to reveal itself to her.
Gaia discovered that she could access an individual’s and/ or group’s higher self. She is able to pass this information on to the client or group in real-time.
This provided an opportunity for the client and/or group to participate and integrate their healing potentials at that time. This is how LightStreaming came about.
Throughout the years, Gaia has taught and applied various sound treatments, created classes and workshops, and facilitated sound healing ceremonies for groups. Gaia and her husband Shannon share this passion and continue to inspire others to dive deeply into themselves to bring about healing on all levels, one person at a time, one group at a time, thereby affecting and shifting the world!
Shannon
Being deeply intuitive at a very young age, Shannon was searching to understand the subtler aspects of life. Sound and frequency captured his attention, which led him to study music at a young age. To him, the most fascinating aspect of music/sound was feeling the subtle frequencies that coexisted within these sounds. Throughout his early and late adulthood, he continued to search for more nuanced ways of understanding life through sound and frequency.
Shannon was also very athletic and body aware as things would come to him very quickly, and having a natural curiosity, Shannon became intrigued with the human body and its relationship to gravity and the subtle forces that animated it.
In 1979, Shannon discovered martial arts while in Japan. He was called to the ancient studies and Aiki arts. During his time in Japan, he found an art called Aikido (the way of harmony). It’s a Japanese martial art created to facilitate harmony with humankind and nature. In many aspects, it is built around understanding the elements that constitute our reality’s building blocks.
Shannon (Sensei Reitan) continued training in Aikido and other traditional martial arts before opening his dojo in 1999.
He has also practiced and taught Reiki at the master level in 3 different systems and became a certified yoga teacher. Shannon (Sensei Reitan) has incorporated healing practices such as brain wave training, energy healing, crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, tuning forks, and toning into his classes.
In the early 2000s, he began teaching spiritual awakening and awareness classes, which were based on finding the connection with source energy within Oneself. This was the beginning of the first one-year Starseed program. He has since continued to facilitate mediation classes and teach his students how to understand and feel subtle energies in relation to time and cause and effect.
In 2011, he began incorporating yogic teachings into his movement arts classes. He felt this offered a more balanced and well-rounded approach to achieving harmony within the self. In his approach to healing, Shannon feels that by adding sound, light, and movement, individuals can access healing on all levels, and in doing so, physical and emotional clearing can integrate simultaneously. He also designs and builds Tensor field technologies on both a large and small scale.
Shannon and his wife Gaia have combined their knowledge and experience and are dedicated to assisting humanity to develop deeper connections within.
