What's Good in the World
An AHA Projects Affiliate
Rachel Reid Wilkie is a Shamanic Practitioner, Mystic, Poet, and Tarot Reader.
Her practice of the Shamanic Healing Arts is rooted in more than a decade of study with Shamans and Medicine Carriers from Indigenous traditions of the Ecuadorian and Peruvian Andes and Amazon, who have generously shared their sacred teachings.
Her path of Mysticism is anchored in Ceremonial Magic, the Mystical Qabalah, and the Hermetic Sciences of Astrology, Theurgy, Alchemy, and the Magical Art of Tarot.
Rachel weaves together these two ancient paths of wisdom and offers 1:1 deep transformational sessions. If you are seeking a dedicated pathway toward revitalization and renewal, “A Magical Path to Healing” allows you to engage with your own unique path of healing and transformation. If you are being called to taste your own magic and activate your inner wisdom, Rachel offers 1:1 guidance and mentorship through her program “Awaken Your Inner Temple”.

Building Capacity for Difference
Learning to stay connected when we don’t agree with Rohini Walker
Building Capacity for Difference
Learning to stay connected when we don’t agree
Building Capacity for Difference is an upcoming workshop series from What’s Good in the World, part of our Cultivating Cultures of Belonging programming. At a time when disagreement can quickly become division, these workshops offer another possibility: learning how to remain present, curious, and connected to our shared humanity—even when our views are very different.
Co-facilitated by Ellen Curry, Tim Chinnock, and Rohini Walker, the workshops will draw on practices from Somatic Experiencing and Nonviolent Communication.
Rather than trying to convince people to change their beliefs, the focus is on what happens within us when we encounter difference.
What happens in the body when we feel challenged or triggered? Can we recognize those responses before they overwhelm us? Can we learn to tend to ourselves while remaining open enough to listen, speak, and stay in relationship?
Through guided exercises, conversation, and somatic practices, participants will explore ways of meeting difficult moments with greater awareness, openness, and curiosity.
The series is being developed as a monthly, in-person gathering in the High Desert. We'll announce dates, locations, and workshop fees soon.
Initially, workshops will be participant-supported, with 10% of proceeds supporting What’s Good in the World. As the program grows, WGW hopes to secure grants and other funding that will let us offer these workshops at no cost to participants while compensating facilitators for their work.
Interested?
We’re currently creating an interest list for people who would like to hear about the first workshop.
Contact Rohini Walker at rohini@rohiniwalker.com to add your name to the list and receive dates and details as they become available.
Rohini Walker is an Indian-born British writer, mentor and consultant who has been living in the California Mojave desert for over a decade.
Much of her work inhabits thresholds and ontologies, exploring relationships between land and body, and of the traumatic origins of our dominant socio-cultural systems that have created a harmful split in our subjective experience of these interdependent relationships.
She works one-to-one and in groups with people across the intersections of decoloniality and indigeneity, through the lenses of mythology, ecological wisdom and trauma-informed Somatic Experiencing practice, among various other modalities.
Rohini is offering the following for this fundraising gathering, with 50% of the proceeds going directly to What's Good in the World:
1:1 60-minute Mytho-Somatic Mentorship – 1 session
This will take place on Zoom, with date & time TBD after booking
Offered for this fundraiser at the discounted rate of $100
1:1 60-minute Mytho-Somatic Mentorship – 3 sessions
This will take place on Zoom, with date & time TBD after booking
Offered for this fundraiser at the discounted rate of $300
These deep-dive, trauma-informed sessions will empower you to start dismantling, composting, and transmuting entrenched patterns of shame, scarcity, and unworthiness that then become your unconscious mythos, directing the trajectory of your life.
In your time with Rohini, you will be guided through the work of tending to and resolving these core wounds, allowing your true mythos to emerge, and be embodied and integrated.
What if the clothes you already own could become something completely different?
Bring a few pieces from your closet and spend an afternoon experimenting with style, upcycling, cutting, altering, combining, and reinventing. Learn how to see new possibilities in old clothes—whether you sew or have never touched a sewing machine.
Bring your clothes. Bring your curiosity.
Leave with new ideas—and maybe a whole new way of seeing yourself.
