Courtni "StarHeart" Hale

In a world replete with digital and other distractions, maintaining focus is a lost art. More than just a nuisance, according to Business News Daily, this inability to focus costs companies $650 billion each year.

Helping companies maintain competitive advantage is at the heart of Courtni StarHeart’s Finding the Force: 4 Keys of Power keynote. “I offer the data, techniques, and training to shift my audiences to a more powerful state of mind,” says StarHeart, whose background is both academic as well as steeped in Pueblo and Meso-American culture.

A National Merit Scholar at American University and long-time government consultant, a life-threatening event compelled her to seek alternative solutions. That led to a journey combining science and shamanism. The results? Her own healing and a path forward to help others self-correct. Finding the Force: Four Keys of Power is a meticulously curated experience that includes soundscapes designed to connect audiences with their own higher intelligence.

That connection produces both focus and fulfillment.

Her home base, just 45 minutes from New York City, is a welcome respite and host site for life-affirming shamanic retreats. She is also available for virtual and in-person consulting to help clients achieve clarity.

Passion:

Supporting teams to navigate today's unpredictable world.  Immersive training techniques for mental focus and personal power.  Sound, Art, Yoga, holistic health.   When we uplift each other we elevate the world.  Mental focus and fulfillment are the best way to stay ahead in our changing times.  

My Story:

When I was a young mother, I left behind a fully funded doctoral program and a lucrative government contract when I got sick and had to face some of life's hardest challenges in order to survive.  On my quest to survive I found healing, epic adventures in the desert (a la Castaneda) and wild encounters with ancient wisdom keepers steeped in mystery.

When I rediscovered the secrets of my native ancestors after 20 years in New Mexico, I translated them into global terms that you can use today.  These "Keys of Power" as I call them, can help anyone to step into their highest path more and more each day.   These Keys saved my life, and allowed me to steer through my turbulent world to bring you this knowledge.

The techniques and tools you learn will allow you to navigate life in all arenas with more ease and grace.

Career Path:

In 20 years of curating fabulous Retreats from the high desert of New Mexico to the oceanside of New York, our team has learned how to bring you the finest training for mental power and fulfillment.  Having studied culture and international relations, I was able to translate lineage wisdom from many traditions into a simple system.

With a background in fine art, music and permaculture as well, I have developed a soundscape journey that provides the experience of a lifetime.  New Mexico now brings you the Meowulf of Keynote Performance.  As the Executive Director of a non-profit since 2004, I have learned how to entertain, train and impact teams of corporate, government, legal and educational professionals.

It's not enough to talk to an audience.  We take you on a full-sensory experience into the mysterious inner place where genius, dreams, and power come from.

Origins:

As an academic in a multi-ethnic family, I was affected early on by how different people are, within ethnic groups, regions, and climates.   I also saw a world in crisis, in every way.    When I was awarded a Presidential Scholarship at American University, I was so eager to learn that I completed 2 Bachelors at the same time.  Then I went in search of something special that was missing.

All I could see was the epic need to be human in a better way, and the knowledge that there must be a better way.   I searched all over the world for clues to the wisdom of the ancient peoples of the globe.   This included a wide variety of history, culture, shamanism, martial arts and herbalism to bring this package to our holistic Retreats and coaching for transformation.

While working with psychedelics in a ceremonial setting, I was able to share this living knowledge, experientially.   I dedicated myself to translating these simple Keys (combined with an experiential adventure) so that we can each shift our mental state at any moment.

If each person can do this, then the whole world will change for the better in powerful ways.
