"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."

What People Are Saying
"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
"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."
Mary W
"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. That every encounter with nature is meant to stir up and nourish my soul and meant to be honoured."
Anita "Sparklinglight Weaver Woman"
re. 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.
"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
"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.
"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
"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, David
Journey Around the Celtic Wheel Program.
Thank you for brining me back - to dancing, to singing, to feeling enchanted and to the comfort of our silence."
Vivienne D
"The Beauty of Who You Are Inspires me. All the Magick and Wonder of Sacred Mother Earth resonates and radiates from you to all Blessed to know you. I hear the Drumming of the Ancestors and in the Heartbeat of the Earth I hear your name. Thank You."
Michael T
"Over the last seven years I have been to countless events that Lori has hosted, and whether it be a few hours at a Drum Circle, a Fire Walk or a four day Moving Mandala, Lori is always present in the moment. She honours her teachers and the wisdom of those who came before us, while making the practice her own and gently guiding others along their own path.
As a healer, Lori's talents are many, I have had many great releases, realizations and breakthroughs under her care. Whether from a Soul Retrieval, Reiki Healing or Card Reading, she is insightful, open and unimaginably generous of heart. Always ready with a song, you can count on Lori to be fully committed to any en-devour she undertakes with great enthusiasm, and commitment.
I am grateful every day that I had the good fortune to meet Lori. Her guidance, healing hands and heart have helped me through some very dark places. I can't imagine who or where I would be today without her.
Eternally grateful, in this life and the next."

What People are Saying;
"Lorriiii was such an incredible Officiant for our wedding. Her energy was incredibly warm, glowing, and helpful through every step of the process. She took such time and care into helping us make our Wedding day exactly what we had envisioned.
We met with her beforehand and had deep discussions about what my partner and I both wanted out of the day, how we wanted our love to be shared, our vows to be presented, and how we wanted to involve nature and spirituality in our ceremony.
Lorriiii took such care in every aspect of our special day, and worked closely with both my partner and I to craft a script that was both personal and deeply meaningful. She was kind, thoughtful, and warm every step of the way, and we cannot say enough how grateful we are for her, what an incredible addition to our Ceremony, and an incredible Officiant she was!
We couldn't have had a better Officiant, she will always bring such joy to us when we reflect on the day. We are beyond thrilled with her work, her energy, and the wonderful presence she shared with us that day, and beyond. My Wife and I are forever grateful." ~ Spencer Corish

Experience & Qualifications
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.

What People are Saying;
"its days later, much like a daze... and I still... I am digesting.... I am accepting... I am feeling and honoured and blessed and blooming... all because. ~ You showed us how. YOU.. 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." Amy Eggleton Barlow
"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." T Morin
"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."

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."

Images from past Moving Mandala Retreats
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.
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"

CERTIFIED BODY-CENTRED COACH
Experience & Qualifications
"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."

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."

Love and Gratitude to the Waters
Hydroelectric Operating Supervisor
I have more than 31 years of Electrical/Hydroelectric Operating experience working with various Electrical Transmission/Distribution/Generation/Water Management Companies in Ontario and I am deeply honoured to be the first woman to have held the position of River Control Supervisor at Ontario Power Generation/New York Power Authority's International Control Dam where I worked very closely with the Niagara River, predicting flows, managing the Niagara River and Niagara Falls. From my view just above Niagara Falls, my first priority, as a River Control Supervisor, was always maintaining the natural beauty of the River and the Falls and I am truly humbled by my role as Steward of the River. And although I officially retired from this role in 2021, I will always carry in my heart, my experience with the beautiful River and the Thunder Energy of Niagara Falls.
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" 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
