2023 Keynote Speaker:
Shaun Phoenix
Shaun Phoenix, LCPC, was the coordinator of Celebrating Women for eleven years, from 2004 -2015.
She initiated our “circle of midwives” concept, and enjoyed collaborating with her sisters in creating powerful, moving, inspiring and playful weekend experiences for women.
She has attended almost every Celebrating Women gathering, and has offered dozens of workshops over the years.
In her day job, Shaun has been both a psychotherapist and a shamanic healing practitioner, teacher and mentor for more than 30 years, and has created and led a vast array of women’s spirituality gatherings and retreats over the years.
She is passionate about creating sacred space in which people can discover and cultivate their own relationship with the Divine as they experience it.
This work includes crafting unique rituals and ceremonies, and Shaun has facilitated many weddings, baby blessings, house blessings, and other initiatory rites for individuals, families and communities.
Shaun is also half of Many Hands Light Work along with her wife, Stormi Oshun.
MHLW builds upon the theme of “sacred play” and brings drumming, music medicine, and creative exploration to communities near and far. Adding to the fun, Shaun is a member of Yamama!, an all-woman World Music and Dance ensemble which brings music from cultures around the world alive with song, drum and dance.
When not working, Shaun finds renewal on beautiful mountain trails, in her glorious gardens, and by reading, writing, and making a joyful noise with her guitar, piano and drum (usually not all at the same time).
