“I feel that from this intensive, I was able to tap into a part of myself that hasn't been nourished in a long while. This weekend reminded me of how important it is to continue the deeper ancestral work from wherever we are, with whatever it is we have in the moment. Although I do not know a whole lot about my lineage, the answers and the ritual show up in me the more I sit with the elements and do things that align me with nature, community, and just the basics of life on earth experience. I truly appreciate the fluidity of the weekend and the playfulness, simplicity, and adaptably of it all. Giving space for all walks, and space for all truths was very healing. I am so grateful for this experience and want to continue to attend related events and share the activities and depth with others on my journey.” - Leah Rae Scott


“This earth rooted intensive was soul healing for me. Being around likeminded leaders gave me the courage to step into my power. Shayna’s knowledge of earth rooted leadership was inspirational and beautiful. This weekend gave me the courage to be the leader I always wanted to be.” -Ashley Peoples

“I feel completely full, prepared, and reassured that I’m doing exactly what I’m supposed to do! I’m very grateful that the group of us meshed so well for the liberating experience we created. I appreciate the ability to be free within the intensive as you ground and find self. Personally I felt supported just being in nature! All the people here became tribe. We connected with each other as we connected with the earth! I plan to start creating and hosting circles to simply share all the things I’ve acquired over the years with confidence.” - Maya Biggs

“Wow, still buzzing from the weekend! The intensive was an amazing learning experience. Grateful for Shayna and Shala and the container they created for such a diverse group of changemakers to come together and explore new ways to step into our power and making an impact in our fields/communities/world at large. The depth of the conversations we had, the tools for communication and facilitation techniques shared were a springboard for me to feel seen, heard and encouraged to take my leadership skills to new levels.” - Bea Alvarez

“I cannot begin to tell you how amazing it was being apart of your workshop @sisterstoneleadership. What you learn here is valuable and will last a lifetime, it helped me better understand what I wanted to do for my vision and purpose. It created a safe space to allow my thoughts to flow and not doubt my abilities to BE the change, i want to see In this world. Whether you’re starting a business or would like to start one or even have a little trouble finding direction. Maybe you aren’t strong I’m facilitating or leading. This is a MUST! The facilitators and the group itself was diverse and filled with passion. No judgement but love and compassion. I appreciated the connections I’ve made with everyone there as well as the deeper connection I made with MYSELF. Unforgettable experience and the tools and skillsets provided to utilize for future groups I will be (soon) leading. I really understood the foundation of what I’ll be working on with others.” - Izzarial Riviera
