Group Power Animal Experiences

Shared experiences that explore Power Animals through guided journeying, creativity, and reflection.

I create facilitated Power Animal experiences for retreats, festivals, private gatherings, and creative communities.

Each experience combines guided journeying, reflection, and creative practice as a way of exploring our relationship with animals and the qualities we recognize in them.

About the Experience

This group experience combines a guided drum journey with journaling and intuitive drawing.

I guide participants through a drum journey where they have the opportunity to encounter a Power Animal through their own experience. Afterwards, we reflect on what stood out before moving into a simple drawing practice inspired by the animal, symbols, colors, or details that emerged.

The focus isn’t on creating a finished artwork or knowing how to draw. The drawing becomes another way of exploring the experience through image, line, and color.

  • Empowering and wild! Being guided through my Power Animal Journey brought me to a place of knowing and wisdom. I didn’t expect to connect to a prehistoric animal (The Saber-Tooth Cat) but it is and has been the perfect animal for me! It has helped me to connect with my inner strength and courage and overall curiosity. Nayeli is an incredibly patient and caring facilitator with a plethora knowledge on animal power, strength and wisdom. You will not regret floating on this magical journey with her. I look forward to the next one very soon! Thank you so much, Nayeli!

  • "Nayeli's guided journey to meet my power animal resonated with me far more than I had anticipated. It was deep and mystical yet proved to offer practical insights. It gave me clarity and affirmed where I can improve my lifestyle, which has the potential to be highly transformative."

    —Adam O’Neill

  • Nayeli guided me through an incredible drum power animal journey that was truly transformative. Her gentle presence and intuitive guidance created a safe and welcoming space, allowing me to deeply connect with my personal power animal. The journey itself was profound, but what made it even more impactful was the debriefing and journaling that Nayeli incorporated afterward. This reflective time helped to deepen the experience and solidify the insights I gained. The entire 1-hour journey was a wonderful and lasting experience, and I'm so grateful to Nayeli for her skillful and compassionate facilitation.

    —Dr. Violetta Neumann-Wolf

  • “Nayeli’s love and connection with animals becomes evident as you immerse in the workshop. It was a gentle guidance into relating with my power animals. Her drumming is like a heart beat accompanying you into the journey, to then digest it all with plenty of materials and art. A wonderful way to connect deeper with the world around us! 🙏🏼✨”
