Shelby Clark

Following a life-changing sacred plant ceremony at the tail end of yoga teacher training, I have focused my life on providing consciousness-expanding experiences to people that could benefit from them. As they have helped me heal the many traumas of growing up gay, I have been particularly passionate about the healing that could be brought to this population though the intersection of sacred plants, embodiment modalities, and modern psychology. I am still a student on my own path, and I am happy to walk this path in community with others.
 
I am a meditation guide and yoga facilitator. I have been studying meditation with Lorin Roche, author of the Radiance Sutras, since 2017. This philosophy of mediation views ordinary moments (such as the breath, sensations and emotions) as opportunities to connect with the most intimate experiences of life. This tantalizing, delicious perspective of life has helped me find gratitude, beauty, and joy all around me, and is a perspective I am thrilled to share.
 
I was been living in the San Francisco Bay Area for 15 years, but I’ve recently relocated to Costa Rica to co-found the Jungle Gayborhood retreat center and community, and was an early collaborator at our neighboring retreat center, Holos Diamante.
