The Medicine Wheel Revealed is a four-month journey to experience earth wisdom teachings, create healing, and re-establish your connection to nature and the cosmos as taught by the Q’ero Shamans of Peru. Learn practical tools and remember techniques from the oldest traditions on earth which will awaken your soul, empower your spirit and guide you back to the mystery and beauty of life.
You are invited to attend in person in a face-friendly environment in Richmond, Virginia, or online via Zoom.
Open to any student over the age of 12 who desires self-discovery, is curious about shamanism, and wishes to learn powerful foundational practices to help regenerate your life and the lives of others.
You will learn:
- Q’ero Peruvian Medicine Wheel History & Map
- How to open Sacred Space
- How to hold a Fire Ceremony
- How to create a Sand Painting
- Tools to heal your lineage
- Skills to use to embrace everyday challenges
- Manifestation skills and how to dream again
You will not receive rites, nor will you learn enough skills to become a “Shaman” as this knowledge takes years to develop. However, it is an introductory course to shamanic practices and can lead you to discover if becoming a Shamanic Healer is right for you.

The energy of the wheel works between the modules each session. You will be given homework to be completed before the next in-person teaching. A Facebook group will be created, and a weekly check-in will be offered in-between sessions for guidance and to stay connected. You must be willing and able to carry out the assignments on your own and committed to complete everything asked of you before attending the next session.
Recordings of each session and handouts will be made available to registered students.
The Medicine Wheel Revealed will be video recorded this semester for a future online course. It would be best if you also were open to the possibility of being on-camera in the event certain teachings call for interaction or examples.

About Your Instructor: Melissa Terese McLaughlin
Over 6 years ago, Melissa journeyed through the Medicine Wheel three times. The first time in training to become a Breathwork Facilitator and another two cycles receiving Q’ero Rites taught and exchanged by John English of Ancient Wisdom. Her experience and healing were so profound she began to offer it as part of her Breathwork Worldwide Facilitator Training Certification. Melissa acknowledges and preaches, “You need to be healed to be a healer, and you must always be doing your self-work.” The Medicine Wheel and Breathwork offer both. Students urged her to create an individualized teaching, and The Medicine Wheel Revealed was birthed. Melissa is not a Shaman but invokes and respects the use of The Medicine Wheel teachings energy and wisdom to facilitate her Ceremonial Breathwork offerings. She is a gifted teacher and facilitator of the breath who knows and believes every person carries their own innate ability to heal themselves. She enjoys sharing the tools of self-discovery, transformation, and healing the Medicine Wheel and Breathwork has given her and is committed to introducing these practices to any seeker looking for knowledge. Her healing arts practice is based in Richmond, Virginia.
