This training couldn't have been more of a blessing. It called to me before I even new you were having another training. This has been one of my favorite courses yet (intuitive self course). The different styles of learning make it really nice to follow along and to not burn out. Sometimes in school it's all about reading books and testing and I have never wanted to learn more than with you two. Making learning fun, digestible, and intimate (vulnerable). Thank you both for all of your time, energy and hard work/ self practice in creating such beautiful content. I cant express how much this has changed my life especially during these times.

Thank you Shilah and Krista for a wonderful course! I learned so much about Yin Yoga, the meridians, yin and yang, emotions, and so much more. I also discovered so much about myself and others and truly recommend it to anyone who is willing to learn and be curious. This in-depth course is packed with so much amazing content - with the weekly calls, yoga classes, meditations, and the written & audio content. Thank you for holding space for me to grow, be vulnerable, and discover more things about myself. I appreciate your gentle and heartfelt way of teaching and guiding me through this chaotic time.

“Shilah and Keenan are a true gift to the world, and I don't say that lightly.” - Cheryl W 

Shilah and Keenan are a true gift to the world, and I don’t say that lightly. I hesitated briefly to add the Chakra Course to my busy schedule, and during a time of so much world unrest, but I can't even accurately put into words how grateful I am that I listened to that gentle nudge inside of me and enrolled!  There is an incredible amount of knowledge, wisdom and compassion that went into this course, and I could write a book about the profound effect it has had (and continues to have) on my life!  There was a real, tangible, and deep transformation that occurred in me during these few short weeks that previously I wouldn't have thought possible.  IT'S POSSIBLE.  It wasn't any one thing, but a combination and culmination of connection, vulnerability, learning and self inquiry that gave me an experience like no other.  There is seriously nothing I would change about Arcana Life's Chakra Course, and recommend it a thousand times over no matter where you are in your life journey!” - Cheryl Wyatt

“Thank you Shilah and Keenan for all your energy and devotion in creating a fantastic course!” - Lori L

“I absolutely loved the Chakra course.  It was unlike any other course I've ever taken. The format was perfect, the audios were perfect, and the exercises were great.  I cannot think of any other format that would have been better.  The sharing of experiences when we all got together on Friday evenings was special as well. I learned a ton about myself, but I also learned a lot about how other people in this world may be wired, thus reminding me to be more compassionate. The Chakra course was a gift and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to dive deeper into the self and learn more about Life.
Thank you Shilah and Keenan for all your energy and devotion in creating a fantastic course!” - Lori Lipke

Keenan has been a crucial piece to helping me turn my life around. Two years ago I was unmotivated, 40-50 lbs overweight, and generally unhappy with how I was treating myself. With the help of Keenan, I was able to lose 30 lbs over the course of six months (and I'm not done yet). He's incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, realistic, and adaptable. I can't tell you how many questions I've asked Keenan over the course of us working together. He always replies with a thoughtful answer in simple terms. I've learned so much from Keenan about anatomy/the physics behind the lifts I do, making good choices when it comes to nutrition and other helpful (yet small) changes that have made a huge difference in my overall well-being.

Can't say enough about how pleased I am with the progress I've made, most of which is attributed to the coaching that Keenan provides. Thank you, Keenan! - Tony C

"Shilah is a gifted teacher and healer who is warm, compassionate and very knowledgeable. Through her I have learned and found healing from attending both her yoga classes and her healing workshops. She is foremost a passionate student and fellow spiritual traveler who is able to convey what she has learned in a way that is genuinely caring, memorable and resonates deeply. I always enjoy attending her workshops as she is able to bring a group together in community where we all gain some insight and in our fast paced society much needed time for reflection. - Stacey B

Keenan is by far the best I have had the pleasure of working with. Most trainers have basic level knowledge about physical fitness and nutrition and I really needed to take my training a step further and really fine tune. Keenan has a natural ability to really hone in on the areas that you personally need to work on to achieve your goals, and he doesn't stop there. My interactions with Keenan left me feeling confident in knowing I could trust his judgement with my progression. He is very conscious of my abilities and is very open to knowing other areas of work I may be interesting in developing I.e. Yoga, mindfulness practice, spiritual guidance. Keenan is very interested and concerned with your personal development and areas of your life that may tie in with your overall health and wellness, making him fully and spiritually grounded and aware. He will give you lasting and informed advice. 

He is a healer, a physical trainer, and a teacher all encompassed in one person - Crystal

I know Shilah as a friend and a healer and I would have to say she is a woman of the utmost  integrity.  She is a healer who has done her own work and healing, and continues to do so. Shilah is truly gifted in her ability to connect with each person she meets. In her presence you feel loved, safe, and comfortable. The healings that she offers are extremely powerful and like no other. I would recommend working one on one with Shilah, or attending one of her very special workshops/ceremonies if you are ready to go deep, move past trauma, and heal the deepest layers of you! - Nichole F

I can't say enough great things about working with Keenan! I originally hired him to fix my positional vertigo. After a few sessions we had resolved it, so we're now working on my long term fitness goals (overall flexibility and strength to undo years of working at my desk). 

He's friendly, kind, knowledgable and easy to talk to about your goals in a way that makes you feel safe and excited to get to work! He has wonderful energy and a contagious spirit - I always leave my sessions feeling happy, accomplished and empowered. - Liz

Shilah is medicine. She shows up in your life when you are finally ready to do the deep, hard work required to heal yourself and change your reality. So, good for you finding her here. Trust it. You’ve already started. It’s already working.  

I first worked with Shilah when I attended her 200 hour yoga teacher training. From day one, she and her team created the space for me to be more open and honest with myself than I had ever been before. With her support, I began to untangle the web of patterns running my life and open myself to the flow. Shilah offers thoughtful exercises, based in her own practice, to help illuminate the path toward our whole, complete Self. A union, yoga. These exercises are deceptively effective. The work echos down into the very nature of your being and calls for change. It’s a process. It’s growth. It’s work. It works. Within weeks I started to see dramatic shifts in the two most challenging relationships in my life. I was more empowered in myself than I had been in a long time. I felt my vitality coming back.  

Following yoga teacher training, I sought to continue my work with Shilah in private coaching sessions. Here, my growth is continuing exponentially. Shilah has coached me through healing dysfunctional formative beliefs, which serve as the foundation of experience today. The techniques Shilah uses to do this sort of healing are a tad unusual. They require a great deal of vulnerability and surrender to the process. Shilah’s professionalism, depth of experience, and genuine commitment to her own healing journey allows me to trust her completely. Several months later, I am simultaneously more creative with my reality and content amongst the unfolding nature of the universe. I also feel like I have superpowers. 

I highly recommend Shilah’s coaching services and any of her events or trainings. Shilah has profoundly influenced my life and I am grateful for the work she does. She’s patient, she’s kind, and her unconditional love enforces the comforting idea that however the process unfolds is how it’s meant to be. Everything is ok. Just keep doing the work of feeling in the present. You don’t have to understand it all.

Since the first yoga class I attended with Shilah before committing to the teacher training I knew there was something special about her. She has a way of transforming into the person you need her to be for you. She holds space in such a beautiful way, pushes you to open and explore without harming or closing you off. I have never trusted anyone more with my soul. I was in a very dark and confused space before meeting her and I started this journey maybe 1.5 years now and she has helped me start to love myself and give me my self worth back. I have transformed my life for the better because she has helped me, guided me to do the work I need to get to the place I am today. I have worked with people in the past to help with self work and personal growth however they sometimes just did the work for me, where’s Shilah makes you do the work and to dig deep inside. I feel this is way more impactful and makes me more accountable for myself and for our time together.

Shilah has given me the best gift I could ever ask for and I am excited with what the future holds and can’t wait to learn more from her. To carry on all the great knowledge she has gained over the years through her teachers, It’s such a beautiful gift of giving and receiving, the real purpose in life.

Shilah has guided me over several year. She’s not pushy and doesn’t use her intuitive gifts unless welcomed to. It wasn’t until I was open and ready to dive deeper into my awakening & healing did she offer her assistance.

 I did my reiki training with her and have attended many of her workshops and sound healing events. She provides a nurturing, calm, safe, warm, thought provoking space to begin the journey of coming home to yourself. I very much connect to her energy & love the passion behind her work. Anyone would be lucky to have their life touched by her. -  Jamie L

This course was all that I expected and more. Bringing the wisdom of yoga, depth psychology, and affective neuroscience together with resources and grounding practices made for a very rich experience in a short 7 weeks time! Most importantly, Shilah and Leanne provided a welcoming and supportive safe space to allow and encourage the challenge of transformation to happen. I highly recommend this course for anyone ready and willing to take a deeper look into themselves and are open to change and grow, to curiosity and wonder - John Chovan
