Are You Carrying Something That Isn’t Yours to Hold?
Perhaps it’s a heaviness you can’t quite name. A cycle you keep repeating. Anxiety that won’t shift no matter what you try. A sense that something is missing, that you’re disconnected from yourself, from life, from meaning.
You’ve probably tried talking about it. Maybe therapy helped to a point. But some things live deeper than the mind can reach.
Shamanic healing works at the soul level, beneath the stories, beneath the symptoms, to find and release what’s really holding you back.
Meet Mojave Sky Hawk: Your Shamanic Practitioner in Brighton
I’m Mojave Sky Hawk, founder of Shaman of Brighton. I’ve spent years immersed in shamanic healing traditions, training in Andean ceremony, living and practising on the island of Ibiza, and facilitating transformational experiences at world-class venues including Six Senses Ibiza resort.
I now bring this depth of experience to my private healing sanctuary in Peacehaven, Brighton, where I work one-to-one with clients seeking real, lasting transformation.
My approach combines ancient shamanic practices with an understanding of the modern challenges we face: stress, burnout, disconnection, unresolved trauma, and emotional overwhelm.
I work exclusively with ceremonial cacao as a plant ally. All sessions are conducted with the highest respect, safety, and care.
“I don’t just facilitate ceremonies, I hold space for the most important conversation you’ll ever have: the one with your own soul.”
Private 1-to-1 Shamanic Healing Sessions in Brighton
Every session is unique, shaped by what you bring and what spirit reveals. In our private work together, I draw on a range of powerful shamanic techniques:
Soul Retrieval
When we experience trauma, shock, or deep emotional pain, parts of our vital energy can fragment and “leave.” This often shows up as feeling incomplete, numb, or stuck in patterns you can’t break. Soul retrieval journeys to recover these lost parts and gently reintegrate them, restoring your sense of wholeness, vitality, and purpose.
Best for: People carrying old trauma, childhood wounds, grief, or a persistent feeling of “something missing.”
Energy Cleansing & Extraction
Heavy or intrusive energies can build up in your field through stress, toxic relationships, environments, or inherited patterns. I work to identify and clear these blockages, releasing what no longer serves you and restoring the natural flow of your energy.
Best for: Chronic fatigue, anxiety, feeling “weighed down,” or after difficult life transitions.
Past Life Journeying
Some patterns and blocks don’t originate in this lifetime. Past life journeying allows us to explore previous incarnations, uncover karmic lessons, and heal unresolved issues that are still influencing your present experience.
Best for: Recurring unexplained fears, relationship patterns, or a deep curiosity about your soul’s journey.
Power Animal Discovery
In the shamanic tradition, we each have spirit animal guides who offer protection, wisdom, and strength. I journey on your behalf to connect you with your power animal, a relationship that continues to support you long after our session.
Best for: Feeling ungrounded, lacking direction, or seeking spiritual support and guidance.
Private sessions: from ยฃ80 | 60 minutes | Peacehaven, Brighton
There is something uniquely powerful about healing in community. My group ceremonies bring people together in sacred space to share in the transformative energy of ancient ritual.
Cacao Ceremony
A heart-opening ceremonial experience using ethically sourced, ceremonial-grade cacao. Through guided meditation, breathwork, intention-setting, and sound, we create the conditions for deep emotional release, connection, and clarity.
Perfect for retreats, private groups, or as a standalone experience. I’ve facilitated cacao ceremonies for luxury wellness retreats, hen parties, corporate wellbeing days, and intimate gatherings.
Fire Ceremony
Rooted in Andean shamanic tradition, the fire ceremony is a powerful ritual for releasing what no longer serves you, old stories, limiting beliefs, grief, fear, and setting clear intentions for what you’re calling in. You literally give your burdens to the fire and watch them transform.
Note: Fire ceremonies require a suitable outdoor location. Contact me to discuss venue options.
Despacho Ceremony
A beautiful Andean offering ceremony using flowers, seeds, herbs, and other natural elements layered with prayers and intentions. The despacho is a living mandala of gratitude, an act of reciprocity with the Earth and the spirit world. Ideal for marking life transitions, celebrations, or group harmony.
What Happens in a Shamanic Healing Session?
If you’ve never experienced shamanic healing before, it’s natural to have questions. Here’s what a typical private session looks like:
We talk first: I’ll ask about what’s brought you here, what you’re experiencing, and what you’d like to shift. No judgment, complete confidentiality. There is nothing I haven’t heard. You are entering a safe space.
Setting sacred space: I will open the space using traditional invocations to the four directions. Often I will have done this before you arrive, but if you would like to participate in the opening of the space, please let me know when you make your booking.
Choosing your Shamanic Healing Ceremony: I work with a large variety of 121 shamanic healing ceremonies. You may already know what you want or need before you visit me. If you don’t, then I will invite you to choose from my medicine bundle a crystal, which corresponds to the healing you need. You will always choose the right ceremony for you in that moment.
The healing journey: You’ll lie comfortably while I work with your energy field using a combination of techniques: rattling, drumming, hoocha stones, chakapa, singing, musical instruments, sound healing, hands-on energy work, and guided journeying. Many clients experience vivid imagery, emotional release, or deep physical relaxation.
Integration: We close with a conversation about what came through and practical guidance for the days ahead. If necessary, some homework may be given to support your integration and next steps on your healing journey.
You remain fully clothed and fully conscious throughout. Many clients describe the experience as one of the most profound of their lives.
I found Mojave at a time when I needed him most, though I had no idea just how life-changing his guidance would be. I came to him more broken than I realised, but I instantly trusted him. His unique blend of pragmatic and ancient knowledge was exactly what I needed. While I wasn’t a skeptic, I didn’t know what to expect, yet his approach was perfect. Mojave lifted me up with a miraculous yet realistic perspective. He is incredibly confidential and professional, putting you at ease straight away. His kindness is profound, yet he also helps you establish boundaries and step into your full potential, even when you feel there is no hope. I cannot recommend Mojave highly enough. His guidance has truly transformed my life.

Incredible experience
Mojave is an incredibly knowledgeable, warmhearted and skilled Shamanic Practitioner. The course I did with Mojave included incredible shamanic journeys, where I journeyed to the lower world, powerful soul retrieval, meeting spirit guides and more. We worked on anchors, timelines, boundaries, negative thought patterns, shadow work etc. Mojave gave so many tools to use to gain healing and wisdom in daily life and was so supportive throughout. I can’t recommend Mojave highly enough! Mojaves’ sound healing is phenomenal and I can’t wait to experience it in person in Ibiza!

A beautiful ceremony of release
“The fire ceremony was unlike anything I’ve experienced. I released years of grief and walked away feeling lighter than I have in a decade.”

Gratitude and Appreciation
Hola, ๐ I would like to express here my gratitude and appreciation for Mojave. He holds a truly beautiful healing space. I was lucky enough to be able to meet with him personally in Ibiza. Which if you feel called, go, itโs a wonderful experience. Mojave creates a space that promotes integration and collaboration with spirit, oneness, source. Whichever flavour/ modality you choose to describe something greater than. He holds that connection with grace, dignity and love in a very deep sense and takes his responsibility with care and compassion. He is very creative and intuitive in his own sharing and knowledge. He read tarot for me and it deeply resonated. The messages, the synchronicities I have experienced since, have felt very supportive and in alignment with this path Iโm walking. ๐บ I really appreciate his kind space. Itโs not often at all I feel safe in ALL of myself. Thank you Mojave you hold such a special and respectful healing space. โ๏ธlove & light blessings to you ๐

A huge step forward in my healing journey
Because of a trauma release I was recommended to follow a 1:1 shamanic healing session with Mohave. I got a very warm welcome from Mojave and I was really comfortable to undergo this healing session. Also excited to see what it would bring me. And I can honestly say it helped me a lot in my healing process. I feel like Iโve made huge steps and I feel very blessed to continue with this experience in my life. Mojave also gave me some tools to work with at home. This experience was extremely valuable to me.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shamanic Healing
Is shamanic healing safe? Yes. Shamanic healing is a gentle, non-invasive practice. You remain fully conscious and in control throughout. I create a safe, held container for your experience and have years of training and practice.
Do I need to believe in shamanism for it to work? No. You don’t need any particular belief system. Many of my clients come with healthy scepticism and still experience profound shifts. All that’s needed is an open mind and a willingness to explore.
How is shamanic healing different from therapy or counselling? Traditional therapy works primarily with the mind: thoughts, memories, and cognitive patterns. Shamanic healing works with the energy body and soul, addressing imbalances at a deeper level. Many clients find the two approaches complement each other beautifully.
How many sessions will I need? Some people experience significant shifts in a single session. Others choose to work with me over several sessions for deeper, layered transformation. There’s no pressure; we’ll discuss what feels right for you.
Can shamanic healing help with physical symptoms? Shamanic healing is a complementary practice and should not replace medical advice. However, many clients report improvements in physical symptoms when underlying energetic or emotional causes are addressed.
What should I do to prepare? Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your session. Eat lightly. Come with an intention, even a simple one like “I’m ready to let go of what’s holding me back.” Full preparation guidance is sent upon booking.
Where are sessions held? Private sessions take place at my healing sanctuary in Peacehaven, near Brighton, East Sussex. Group ceremonies are held at various locations across Brighton and Sussex: check my events calendar for upcoming dates.
