Lorriiii Dragon Dream
Spirit Healer
Stepping Into the Unknown
"Among many other things, for me the Firewalk has been about expanding my experience and awakening my sense of wonder. It’s been about working with my fear and courageously stepping into the unknown. It’s been about trusting my own inner wisdom and surrendering more deeply to the flow of life. And from my experience, whether you walk or simply witness others walking on the FIRE you will experience exactly what is needed for your own sacred and personal journey." - Lorriiii Dragon Dream

Although Lorriiii’s official initiation into Shamanism was in 2007, she was born with the ability to see/feel energy and has always felt a deep connection to the Ancestors, to the Trees, to the Spirits of the Land and to all of Nature.
For most of her adult life, Lorriiii has been studying different Healing Modalities and deeply resonates with the guiding principle of Shamanism which is that everything that exists is alive and connected (through the web of life). That we are interwoven with each other, with the Earth and with All That Is.
Since 2007 Lorriiii has experienced many deeper Shamanic Initiations such as; Participating in numerous Shamanic Training Programs. Working with Grandmother Nancy Dancing Light (her Shamanic Teacher and Creator of The Star Dragon Lineage Contemporary Celtic Shamanism Lineage) since 2009.

Participating in a contemporary Shamanic Training Program called The Moving Mandala and then becoming a Moving Mandalas Teacher in 2012 and Teaching the program in England and throughout Canada.

Since her first Firewalk Lorriiii has danced with the fire hundreds of times and continues to facilitate Fire ceremonies throughout Canada.
In 2021 Lorriiii retired from her 31 year career of working with energy, in the Electrical/Hydoelectric Operating discipline at various Electrical Transmission/Distribution/Water Management Companies in Ontario. She was the first woman to hold the position of River Control Supervisor at Ontario Power Generation/New York Power Authority’s International Control Dam where she worked very closely with the Niagara River and Niagara Falls ~ predicting flows, dispatching water to Power companies, making adjustments to assist in emergency rescue procedures and managing the Niagara River & Niagara Falls. Lorriii feels very honoured and humbled to have been Steward of the River, where her first priority was maintaining the natural Beauty of Niagara Falls.
In 2020 Lorriiii and her business partner and fellow Shamanic Practitioner, Breny Mason, purchased The Moving Mandala Shamanic Training Program and Traveller’s Joy ~ Tours with Spirit from Grandmother Nancy Dancing Light and they continue to offer (both online & in person) sessions and training programs as well as to develop new offerings and Star Dragon Lineage Training programs.
In addition to Lorriiii's accomplishments, most recently, she has acquired her Interfaith Officiant licence. Lorriiii is excited and honoured to Officiate both Funerals/End of Life Celebrations and Weddings through Ethereal Energy Interfaith Officiants. (See Website https://www.etherealenergy.ca/)

"Among other things, I believe that the most powerful creative forces are ignited by conscious acts of Compassion and Love. That when we, through Ceremony, put conscious action into heart felt intention, we open more fully to and connect more deeply with the creative and healing energies of Life and Love.
And among other things, my prayer/intention, in all that I offer, is to witness and provide a safe and sacred space for people of all faiths and none, to connect more deeply with these beautiful energies."

Presents
An 8 Session On-Line Package
With Flexible Times and Dates
What People are Saying
"I have gotten to experience the workings of Loriii! I have attended a Celtic retreat and my first Moving Mandala just this fall in New Brunswick. May I stress the word first as in my heart I believe there will be more I attend. On that note Lori has a soft and gentle nature while teaching. She also carries the structure and discipline to keep on course. The gifts with in Myself that I came home with after attending both events I personally can not find the words to quite explain. The changes are subtle but far reaching. Every time I release a piece of baggage it makes me very proud to know I release it for my ancestors also. I came home and looked into my sons eyes and thought and felt how I am releasing these things so my son doesn’t have to play this part out. The work done at these shops will last longer than your physical body. I highly recommend attending any workshop being facilitated by Lori or her brothers and sisters. They are well trained in what they are doing on their paths." ~ Blessings Brittany Frost, Westport, NS

"I have participated in Moving Mandalas as well as attending a pilgrimage (to Ireland) with Lori. I found I was provided a space where I was able to dive deep and see myself in new ways. Both experiences allowed me to explore my truth and step into a new part of who I am. They were a very important part of my Journey." K B

"Awakening Wisdom and Joy
If you are looking for a teacher who can transmit the essence of her subject to you, I recommend Lori Folkins (Lorriiii Dragon Dream), fire walker, dream weaver, healer and shaman. Through shamanic trainings such as the Moving Mandala , Travellers Joy sacred travel, and many more online and in-person trainings, initiations and teaching, Lori goes beyond content, to share the essential spark behind any form she teaches.
You too can catch on fire and feel the resulting energetic shift of consciousness that puts you in touch with your wholeness and Divine nature, which is Light. Working with Lori, you will experience the changes in a safe circle and receive the support you need to embody the next step on your spiritual journey.
If you entrust yourself to Lori’s programs, you may come Home to your soul and make much more creative, conscious choices in your life." ~ Nancy Dancing Light Sherwood

"We so enjoyed ourselves last night. It was such a deeply nourishing sacred feminine and visibly matriarchal experience. We four men were able to just offer largely quiet support to the feminine leadership of the circle and it felt so right that this type of dynamic is happening somewhere in the world. It reminds me of what I understand the Minoan culture to have been like with its highest positions of leadership both in religion and governance given to women. Unsurprisingly, they had one of the most prosperous and peaceful civilizations in human history lasting for a remarkable 2000+ year period. We are so grateful to have had that opportunity to gather with such a lovely group of souls." ~ Chris F
"Thank you Lori Folkins for all that YOU do and all that YOU are! Last night was truly magical and divinely orchestrated with so much peacefulness, love, joy, and healing sounds. So many beautiful sounds from our drums, our shakers, our voices. A melody of love and healing. Humbled and honoured to host YOU at the Den. Feeling so much heartfelt gratitude. Thank YOU to everyone who came out and shared. It's always about who arrives to participate and last night unfolded so beautifully for each of us to embrace and take home to share and positively impacting everyone around us...helping to create more positive change." ~ A.K.
"It was a magically powerful night... 50 people can make a lot of noise and yet at other times could be so quiet you could hear a pin drop... What a lovely way to let go of a space that has been home to many for some time let alone what we each wish to let go of within our lives. Thank you." ~ Sandy S
"I think that this has taught me to believe that every tree and animal and water and earth have a story that is worthy to be heard and shared.

Tracy Kennedy "Fibi of the Dancing Light" re 2021 Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program.
"Deep gratitude for the Tree-mend-ous effort you (Brenda and Lori) put into this program. I believe this was a service to humanity, in a time of confinement as a pandemic strategy. Service to Mother Earth, service to the Cosmos and to the Great Spirit. Any and all that we could and can do to keep the live juices flowing, to be creative, to sing and laugh, or cry and commiserate. And you facilitated so much for us, for it.

"Okay, I was holding back not wanting to favour 1 drum circle from another as each of these gatherings are amazing and touch each of us at different times in special ways but last night I felt the energies were exceptionally extraordinary, becoming deeply connected and entranced at moments. The Shamanic vibes were super charged bringing in the Eternal Current we All stem from, live off of and physically die back to. Thank You Lori for creating this Spirit Circle and Thanks to everyone and everything who make it All possible." ~ AMC

Body Wisdom
"The body has a natural intelligence, knowledge and wisdom that is constantly speaking to us through our intuition and senses. It was born with us and is our loyal and sacred companion throughout our whole lives. Our bodies are our first line of defence and since our bodies are made up of the elements when we heal and honour our bodies, we also heal and honour Mother Earth." ~ Lorriiii Dragon Dream

What People are Saying
"Body Centred Coaching with Lori allowed me to explore, find and heal specific things about myself in a truly unique way. Her approach and techniques guided me through work that was deeply personal and ultimately life changing. The results for me were subtle yet direct and significant. She helped me to doubt and fear less and to look forward to new challenges with a renewed sense of optimism in all aspects of my life. Lori has a keen intuitive sense and wisdom about her. Her sessions offer a powerful opportunity to get right to the core of what is affecting your energy with the potential to change it permanently for the better. I recommend anyone looking for positive change in their energy and life to engage Lori in a Body Centred Coaching session."

Firewalking
"Among many other things, for me the Firewalk has been about expanding my experience, about expanding the vision/dream of who I am and what I’m capable of. It's been about opening my heart to a greater possibility for myself and for the whole planet, it's been about community healing and celebration of life...." ~ Lorriiii Dragon Dream
Firewalking
Certified Sundoor Firewalk Instructor/Empowerment Coach/Trainer
I attended my first Firewalk in 2007 and was forever changed by it. I experienced a major shift in the way she saw myself and the World. I began to question all the self limiting beliefs that, so often, played through my mind. I felt my heart open. I could see so many possibilities for my life. I was present and connected to the Natural World. I felt immersed in the infinite, dancing with the Devine, deeply connected to the Ancient Wisdom of the Ancestors and the Elements. And since then I have danced with the beautiful Fire hundreds of times.. each time holding unique blessings and gifts for me... I believe in the power and importance of Community and Ceremony.. That we are much more than we know.. That we are in fact powerful/magical Creators.. That with heart, intention and focus we are capable of amazing things.. That all life is sacred, precious and connected and that we are continuously offered opportunities to step into our greatest possibility, to embrace our own unique medicine, magic and song.
In 2011 I travelled to California and received my Sundoor Certification (http://sundoor.com/sundoor-school-of-firewalking/firewalk-instructor-certification/ )(from my Firewalk Teacher Peggy Dylan) and officially became a Firewalk Instructor/Empowerment Coach. Since then I have been facilitating Firewalks in Ontario and the East Coast of Canada, with my life partner Jeff Smyth as my Fire Keeper. In 2015 Jeff and I travelled to California once again where he received his Sundoor Certification (from Peggy Dylan) as a Firewalk Instructor as well. And I took Peggy's (Sundoor) Sakahan Training and became a Certified Sundoor Trainer.

And I took Peggy's (Sundoor) Sakahan Training and became a Certified Sundoor Trainer.

You called us here. we came... because YOU shared the way. I thank you. From the depths of my soul. This was, a beginning to live for me."

"With the greatest love and care, Lori Folkins is able to create at her Firewalk, a sacred space wherein you can feel embraced by a special and unique moment in time that serves you in your highest need to connect with Spirit and push through the barriers of limitation that are both literally and symbolically done so as you take your first steps across the bed of hot coals. Because of her passionate heartfelt dedication to the development of each participants personal journey and their commitment to uphold their own personal transformation to the highest, Lori is able to achieve miraculous results of inner releasing, cleansing and spiritual transmutation of which I have both witnessed and have experienced first hand. I cannot express deeply enough my gratitude for the shifts and changes that have appeared within my life since participating in her Firewalk. I can only urge those of you who are looking to transcend the limitations that so frustratingly appear over and over again in your life to seek Lori out and allow the Light & Love that she pours into each Firewalk, to change you as it has so greatly changed me and so many others. Thank you, Lori and Namaste."

The Power of Names
I believe that there is power in names and being given the name "Dragon Dream Spirit Healer" by my guides and "White Wolf Mother" by my shamanic teacher and creator /founder of Travellers Joy, "Grandmother Nancy Dancing Light Sherwood" http://www.travellersjoy.ca/nancy-sherwood.html has deeply enhanced my journey of empowerment and self discovery.
For all of my life I've felt a deeply connected to the Land and the Elements, to the Ancestors and the Spirits of Place, to the Animals and the Creatures of Mother Earth, and to the energies of Life. And my prayer is to help others awaken their awareness of the Divine, nurturing, healing and creative Energies that surrounds us always. I believe that the most powerful creative forces are ignited by conscious acts of Compassion and Love. That Generosity of the Heart, Reverence, Empathy and Respect for all living things are the keys to living healthy and abundant lives.

Awakening Courage
"I believe that courage is one of our most valuable tools and that as we awaken to our own courage, we also awaken to our true power. In courage, we awaken our hearts and are more able to freely step into the flow of infinite possibility, more able to fully embody our creative life purpose." ~ Lorriiii White Wolf Mother
Forest Love
From a very young age I have felt a deep appreciation for all of nature. Growing up in New Brunswick, Canada, my fondest childhood memories are those of connecting with the tree's and being in the forest. For most of my adult life, I have been on a journey of discovering my gifts and I love to incorporate drumming, sound and song into my healing practice/Ceremony.
For more than 11 years I have been facilitating Intentional Shamanic Drum Circles dedicated to Ceremony, Intentional Drumming, Healing and building Sacred Community.
Studying and practicing Shamanism for more than 15 years has led me on many adventures including to Arizona, California, New England, Mexico, British Columbia, Eastern Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ireland, Scotland and to England as part of my Teacher Training for an experiential Shamanic training program called The Moving Mandala.

The Pentacle of Power
In 2016 my adventures took me on Sacred pilgrimage once again to Ireland. Where, along with Nancy Dancing Light Sherwood (Travellers Joy http://www.travellersjoy.ca/nancy-sherwood.html) and fellow Shamanic Practitioner Breny Mason (https://www.celticshamanismtraining.com/about-your-facilitators.html), I co-led two groups of pilgrims, the first of which was in honour and celebration of our Faery Ancestors in West and the second was on“A Voyage of Mastery” a journey of integration and wholeness, to both the Republic and Northern Ireland. Both of these powerful journeys were in response to a call from land, the sovereignty of the Goddess, inviting us to be in balance within ourselves and our environment, so that we might live more freely in commitment to a path of service.
In 2017 Breny Mason and I (through Travellers Joy http://www.travellersjoy.ca/) once again, lead a group of 13 pilgrims to the Ancient East and West of Ireland on a journey around the Celtic Wheel, celebrating the 8 Festivals of the Celtic Wheel of the Year. With the intention of harmonizing our energies with the powerful energies of the seasons and the elements and to explore where we are in relation to the cycles of Nature and the movement of the Sun, Moon and Stars. To discover the ancient knowledge of the Ancestors and in turn establish a deeper connection with ourselves, our communities and all of life.
In 2017 I received my Faery Name; "Lorriiii" which among many other things, speaks to my playful & power-full connection to the energies of magic and wonder.

A Momentous Year
2020 was a momentous year for me, not only did I partner with Breny Mason, in purchasing Traveller's Joy, we also purchased The Moving Mandala Shamanic Training Program from Nancy Dancing Light. This program has changed my life and I am so very honoured and humbled to Steward and carry forward Nancy's meaningful work.
A Quote From Lorriiii About the Moving Mandala
"Among other things the Moving Mandala is about being in our power. It's about reclaiming our own authenticity, embracing our gifts and fully expressing who we are. It is about acknowledging our own aliveness and the aliveness of everything that we encounter. And it's about remembering that we are nature, we are the oceans and the rivers, we are the stars and the stones. We are the wild landscapes of Mother Earth and we are the power and possibility that lives within all creation." ~ Lorriiii Dragon Dream
A Quote from Nancy Dancing Light Founder and Creator of the Moving Mandala
click the above photo to go to a video of Nancy Dancing light
"The energy of the Mandala comes from the potential of space into being through practice and relationship, and encircles us with the protection that which we need while going into such vulnerable, deep places within ourselves. It’s not a socialized-polite practice; it’s married to the wild and free, within the sacred geometry that augments intention." ~ Nancy Dancing Light
An Initiation into the deep rhythms of Mother Earth
"This year long experience has enhanced my life in astounding ways this past year. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart and soul, to our leaders, Brenda & Lori, for creating such an amazing program. The entire program was professional, intriguing and personal."
Jude Steeves re Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program.
"I think that this has taught me to believe that every tree and animal and water and earth have a story that is worthy to be heard and shared. That every encounter with nature is meant to stir up and nourish my soul and meant to be honoured."
Anita "Sparklinglight Weaver Woman" re. 2021 Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program
"Thank you so much, Lori and Brenda, for the magnificent leadership, the dedication and the hours of work and for the open hearted sincerity. The beauty of your souls, which has shined through it all and that I have experienced from you both on this Journey Around the Celtic Wheel, has been so meaningful. I hope that the many blessings that you’ve given me and each of us in this circle will continue to grow and flow in the years to come."
Eliza S re. Journey around the Celtic Wheel Program.
"Our time together and the teachings remind me of the deep connection we have to all of these things, that we are all of one breath and spark across time and space. I was brought here to JAtCW to be reminded, to remember, to understand that some of us who walk the Earth at this time are here as messengers and guides, teachers and healers; we embody Service - if we allow it."
Tracy Kennedy "Fibi of the Dancing Light" re Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program.
"I light candles, send much love and Healing, drum and connect with nature. I am finally living My Path in Life. That of a Healer and a Guide for All that have loved and Lost.I I have never felt so Much Peace and Love Ever in My Life. This is All Thanks to All of You Who I Love Very much! Especially Lori and Brenda who have connected us in a way that I'm sure none of us could ever imagine. How Grateful I am! I have found my way home to a Loving Clan and I am so Proud,Grateful to belong to Our Clan! Life may be uncertain and scary right now but it is so Beautiful!!!"
Michelle "She Who Cries Into the Wind" re. Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program.
"As the Celtic Wheel journey reminds me of the cycle of seasons, I thoroughly enjoy the chance to share it with others. At this time of upcoming Lughnassadh I take time to enjoy the beauty of my garden, seeing the bounty of the Goddess and my contributing hard work. Now I rest in preparation for the work of the harvest. And I recognize that I will also harvest the bounty of the seeds I have sown in myself through meditation, intention, and our circles."
Denise Foglein re. Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program.
"Deep gratitude for the Tree-mend-ous effort you (Brenda and Lori) put into this program. I believe this was a service to humanity, in a time of confinement as a pandemic strategy. Service to Mother Earth, service to the Cosmos and to the Great Spirit. Any and all that we could and can do to keep the live juices flowing, to be creative, to sing and laugh, or cry and commiserate. And you facilitated so much for us, for it. With love flowing on into the next yearly cycle, Your Soul Brother,

Standing my Ground
Remembering My Power "I believe, that there is great power and freedom in responsibility. That when I acknowledge and take responsibility for my feelings and choices, without judgement or blame, I move into greater harmony with the power-full and creative forces of life. When I realize that I am in charge of myself, I open to personal evolution, transformational empowerment, healing and growth." ~ Lorriii Dragon Dream
