"Within the sacred circle of life, the four directions guide us, each with its own teachings, guardians, and gifts." - J.T. Garrett
My journey as Sacred Space holder has been a transformative experience shaped by over 15 years of dedicated practice and teaching.
With certifications as an E-RYT 500, RYPT, and YACEP, I bring a wealth of knowledge that I infuse into every class,
ceremony, and retreat I lead.
In addition I have also received training in Sound Healing, Breathwork, Cacao Ceremony Facilitation, Prenatal Yoga,
and Mindfulness and Meditation. I have a deep curiosity for history and how humans over time have honored their environment.
I enjoy exploring traditions like the Wheel of the Year, the Munay-Ki and Celtic shamanic rituals, and Ancestral Work.
My unique approach involves infusing movement, sound, breath, cacao, and more into experiences around the moon, the seasons,
the elements, and connection to our lineages. I incorporate shamanic instruments, crystal singing bowls, pranayama, meditation,
intuitive movement, and vocalizations. This synergy creates a truly transcendent, multi-sensory experience that sparks
profound shifts for my students.
I am blessed to lead international retreats and yoga teacher trainings, as well as offerings in my beloved Black Hills region.
Sharing this path of holistic well-being and spiritual growth is fuel for my soul’s purpose, leaving an indelible imprint on all those
who join me on this sacred sojourn of the soul.
“Clarissa continues to grow and flourish in her career and teaches a wonderful community of like-minded individuals. In the beginning of the session with the breathwork, My aura energy awakened. I felt vibrations and energetic movement beyond the physical body. In the end, with the relaxation, music, and her positive affirmations, I opened my heart to the real emotion of self love. It brought tears to my eyes in a positive way that I’ve never experienced before. This is was my first breathwork class. I didn’t know what to expect, but it exceeded my ideas and beyond. It felt empowering and inspiring to connect to my inner soul and continue to grow with it.”
“I am privileged to have experienced multiple in person Sound Shower Journeys with Clarissa, and have found them extraordinary. Not only did she create beautifully evocative and expansive experiences, but for me, truly life changing ones. Clarissa is clearly deeply dedicated to promote healing and wellness on many levels, in harmony with her creating delightful experiences for her participants. I felt both my body and spirit re-aligned to promote multi-dimensional healing and wellness during the sessions, and also was able to maintain that energy for self-healing afterward. I know that Clarissa is an expert in many modalities, and I look forward to exploring more of them. I also both have enjoyed and purchased her offerings on Bandcamp. One thing for sure, Clarissa Mae never disappoints. I highly recommend her offerings, both in person and remote.”
