"The Shaman’s Territory is not a place of imagination but rather it is the non-materiality, the in-visioning, of the world we experience daily. A bridge between potential and concrete reality. It is a playground where Love shape-shifts into an infinite number of landscapes and intersections of meaning to meet our mind’s expectations and bounded rationality. It is the perfect place to learn how to grow our personal and planetary evolution, consciously."
- Holly Baade, (Śuci Renzhe)
DO YOU HEAR THE CALL?
Becoming a shaman is the next chapter in human evolution. We are all on our way to learning how to see with the heart.
- Holly Baade
Hello friend I am so glad you found me. I know we are all searching for something to make a difference in this world. That is why I am here. As a guide, a teacher, a healer and a coach to help you find the joyful evolution of you.
I was born Holly Louise Baade. The Joyful Warrior is who I grew myself to be while journeying in the shaman’s territory. I didn’t mean to become a shaman, but my whole life I have been searching for meaning. My story is one of struggle and survival. Of wonder and of whimsy. Of holding on, and letting go. And of learning how to embrace my faith, and wear it joyfully. My work as a shamanic artist and peace activist in the world is an answer to a feeling I believe many people are now having, to help people bring their soul into their story and connect with their spirit's calling. Each experience I offer opens a portal to where Spirit, lives. Each program I guide encourages your Spirit to become more, alive. Each class, workshop, training, retreat or coaching experience I lead is a Shamanic Journey in disguise.

THE JOYFUL WARRIOR
International Shaman School
Headquartered in Ubud, Bali, The Joyful Warrior International Shaman School is dedicated to healing people and the planet.
Going beyond the work of Holly, as an individual warrior of truth, light, love and goodness, the School provides a portal for all people who are drawn to shamanic path and seek to embody their natural shamanic gifts to find personal empowerment and be of loving service within this world we share.
To be a Shaman is to see with the heart, not idealistically, but literally. It is a body-felt reality and a kinesthetic capacity that is found by connecting with one's own higher self on the deepest levels of being. The School is an answer to a feeling many people are now having, to bring their soul into their story - and connect with their spirit's calling. Becoming a shaman is the natural, next chapter for humanity. If we want to thrive and stay alive, we must bring love to life through ourselves as instruments of grace and healing. We can do this by embracing our shamanic calling.
The School’s Signature program is The Shaman in You, a 12 month/12 level comprehensive shamanic mastery program. Currently, training is offered in person only but a full online-program is in the works. The Shaman in You program was given to Holly by spirit directly. After attending several shamanic trainings around the world, she found several trainings that offered suggestions on “where to journey” and how to drum or things like this, but not how to “change the human body” into a shaman’s body. So she sat with the question of how to help anyone become a shaman, as all human spirits are naturally here to reach enlightenment and be of service. After five years of working with the material given to her by spirit, The Shaman in You program began to take shape. Over the years, the program has grown to 12 levels from the original 5 to answer more nuances that emerged from people taking the training and needing more details and directions.
In addition to The Shaman in You program, the Joyful Warrior Shaman School is developing into a hub for shamans around the world as a place to experience shared resource, stories and support.
Holly also offers a weekly podcast on Shamanism 101 where people can call in and ask questions about shamanic practice in general and their personal goals, questions in a friendly and warm setting.
