The Lodge of the Four Winds with Grandmother Marza Millar is a year-long training for those who wish to become adept in the shamanic healing arts with a view to becoming skilled shamanic practitioners–those who are called to become technicians of the sacred and specialists in the human soul.
As we progress through the four seasons, we will learn what it means to walk in alignment with nature and spirit in preparation for a Visioning Quest (which students may take outside of the course).
You will be trained in vital protocols which have been handed down in Marza’s lineage through generations including the Door of the Ant, experiencing direct contact with ancient ways and ever-evolving traditions. You will also receive the teachings that have shaped the Star Clan Fire and the Oracle Clan Fire, from which the Academy of Oracle Arts originated.

Join us!
Lodge of the Four Winds is a year-long intensive guided by Marza Millar’s 69 years of lived wisdom and ancestral teachings.
This immersive course interweaves cosmic laws, elemental medicine, and shamanic practices to help you navigate the chaos of modern life and restore balance.
From January to December, you will become familiar with the four cardinal directions and their associated elements–Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water–through twice-monthly online sessions and optional in-person immersions.
You will join in ceremonies, develop shamanic journeying skills, practice divination with powerful tools, and cultivate a profound connection with nature and the unseen realms.
By engaging with the life force itself, you will unlock the ability to co-create with natural cycles for inner and outer renewal. This path combines ancient knowledge with practical tools for personal healing, spiritual growth, and harmonious living with the cosmic rhythms that govern our world.
This course is for you if:
- You’re weary of carrying a wounded heart and you know it’s time to heal
- You have a deep inner yearning for the old ways and innate knowledge that is waiting to be uncovered
- You’re inspired by the cycles of nature and the cosmic mysteries they hold
- You desire to interpret the sacred signs all around you
- Your co-creative potential is waiting to be set free
Come and experience the Lodge of the Four Winds as a sweet haven for your soul!
As you journey through each season of the year, you will see the world around you with new eyes, recognizing the sacred in the everyday.
Immerse yourself in the power of the elements through shamanic journeying. You will soar on the wind, be metamorphosed by fire, flow like water, and ground yourself in the Earth’s power as you explore the Lower, Middle, and Upper Worlds, unlocking the wisdom of your ancestors. As you learn to read the signs and symbols of the medicine path, you will discover a new language written in nature itself.
By the end of this sacred year, you will have found your unmistakable place in this intricate web of life that connects us all. You will be empowered to co-create your destiny in harmony with the cosmic rhythms.
BODIES OF WORK
This course is an intense challenge, and it is a celebration of the global revival of medicine ways. It is an ancient initiatory path proceeding from both historical succession and contemporary vision.
Marza has been trained since birth in the Shamanic arts and offers this training with the blessings of her Elders.
The training will encompass the following bodies of work, supplemented by ceremony, initiations, pilgrimage, ongoing supervised homework, and 4 in-person immersions:
Shamanic Integrative Therapy
Learn tools that will enable you to act as a sacred counselor, trained to track the source of problems between worlds and attune to a deeper way of living. Addressing this deeper level typically brings about more profound healing.
Shamanic Soul Medicine
This module is a detailed study of illness principles from a shamanic perspective and an exploration of the disease territory. It includes thorough training in primary cross-cultural shamanic tools: Soul Retrieval, Extraction medicine, guiding the suffering across sickness and death terrains, and ancestral healing.
Practices in Shamanic Dreaming
The shaman considers True Dreaming—the crossroads of waking, sleeping, and mundane dreaming—as the location for key healing work. Walking the wheel of the year within seen and unseen worlds. Ancient Mystery School's dream temple incubation methods and little-known shamanic practices will be taught and experienced.
Healing Circles
Shamanic practice acknowledges the community aspect of healing. Learn to administer healing with the aid of seen and unseen partners. Learn advanced techniques of merging with Ancestral Kin and walking deep medicine ways of co-creation.
Spirit Release Work
In this module you will learn advanced spiritual techniques for intentional sorcery practices. Learn the protocol for releasing lost and troubled spirits from environments and individuals, including ancestral negative patterns and generational traumas. Learn to unwind curses, avert hexes, and dissolve obsessions.
Shamanic Land Work
Working with the spirit of place and Middle World spirits at sacred altars, you will apply Drums and Rattles within the shamanic healing paradigm, moving fluidly into trance states.
The training allows participants to safely climb the World Tree—axis mundi—of the shaman's path. We strip shamanic work to its core, incorporating material and methods often not presented elsewhere. Here we operate and train as healer, ceremonialist, and spiritual guide. Learn to master unseen nature forces and commune with power purveyors. This provides a rich, experiential induction into the shaman's life-way, trained in equilibrium art, mastering polarity forces while moving with poise on the threshold of opposites.
For the shaman, human existence, suffering, and death form maps and symbols, creating a moral order with clear pathways to help alchemize the painful aspects of human life. By learning and practicing sacred actions along these pathways, students will step into the role of medicine healer, enabling profound assistance to others.

“Marza is engaging, inspiring, and carries ancient wisdom.” – Dixie H
“I have learned so much about the old ways of living in co-creation with our planet from Marza - it is a vast understatement to say it has changed my life! Marza’s way of sharing her knowledge through sitting in circle, storytelling and dirt time are a testament to her understanding of the Earth and Earth-based traditions - what she has taught me couldn't be read in books or heard in lectures.” – Tiffany H.

Having been on several sacred journeys with Marza, I have complete and total trust in her guidance, her teaching and her capabilities. She has taken me to places both physically and spiritually that I had never been before, and has greatly enriched my life in the process.. Among her many talents, is an ability to make people feel safe while expanding their consciousness - a mark of a great healer and teacher. Above all, she is deeply committed to helping others wholeheartedly, with tremendous compassion and humility. I always look forward to my next experience with Marza, knowing that it will expand the world as I know it and enhance my sense of my own self." – Grace
“I have been studying with Marza for the past three years. She has not only taught me an incredible amount about herbs and energetic medicine, but she has also deepened my relationship with the earth and myself.
