Welcome to your Playground

Mystics, Healers, Visionaries. You made it to this portal.

This new moon, you’ll find yourself at the door of *decisions*.

The feelings of being at a crossroad, where all of yourself gets to belong, what’s next, and needing validation for making the “right choice” are big energetic themes.

Enjoy this replay (I’ll leave it up for a week) and let me know what pathway you’re on.
Connection call: https://calendly.com/flowbreathwork/mystic-arts-connection?month=2026-10

What’s it like being your own genre?

  • Did you feel an initiation the last 2-3 years…?

  • Did you feel an intense desire to break everything down and de/reconstruct?

  • Did you feel the illusions and facades breaking even deeper?

  • Did you feel your Mystic Codes - your intuition, psychic-ness, sound, breath, body, desire to be more in your essence than ever before?

  • Did you notice your relationship to self, goals, desires, and being-ness fully shift?

You ain’t aloneeee.

We study. We aggregate. We integrate. We share.

This season of your work looks radically different.
You cannot be categorized. Genre-less. Unlimitable.


I know you’ve been waiting to deep dive into your healing gifts, learn and practice your crafts, embody EARTH WISDOM and be seen by a community of mystics who are ready to do it with you. I prayed and wished for something like this back in the day, and alas, I realized nothing like this existed for us, so I decided to create it, again.

After a year hiatus, The Healing Arts Academy 3.0 returns with a refresh and drum roll please!

Mystic Arts Mystery School curriculum launches Dec 2026. And enrollment is now OPEN.

You’re a mystic, healer, guide, visionary, local weirdo (c’mon you know it’s true - embrace it) and you want to live more in accordance to earth based wisdom, are obsessed with elemental and energy sciences, are a sound nerd - or want to be, and want to deep dive into the Mystic Arts…let’s gooooooo.

You’re more than a “healer”. When your codes are alive, you’re not just seen in your element, but FELT. This is called the healing arts because it’s literally an art form to be you. And when we’re seeking too far outside of ourselves to remember that art…well you know how it goes.

You asked me for 5 years to bring back this immersion…but I was busy. Pls. Look at my instagram lol and my 5 million hobbies. But I’m integrating back into guide mode after collecting my own experiences and expression. I went around the world, including the underworld ya’ll, to collect these studies (currently headed to South America, and then South East Asia for more studies…)

This is about the be the most potent transmission yet.

What’s inside is…magic.

Two pathways to choose your adventure…

Pathway 1: The Mystic Arts Explorer Pathway

Who It Is For: The Intentional Explorer

  • This is for curious explorers, deep creatives, artists, and multi-dimensional seekers who feel a genuine, undeniable pull toward earth-based wisdom traditions and ancient cyclical sciences

  • You’re fascinated by the natural laws of the universe and it tickles you to experience it all!

  • You want to awaken more of your own mystic codes

  • You operate in your own fucking genre. IYKYK…

  • Perhaps you already have certifications and mastery in your craft, and are adding onto your understanding of the world

  • You want to learn how to sync your daily lives, creative projects, and menstrual cycles with the natural seasons of the earth. You want to explore sound, bioacoustics, and somatic tracking to heal your own bodies, activate your voices, and clear their own perfectionist energies.

  • You want a more casual way to explore mystical arts topics without needing something to “complete”.

(note from Shanila’s head…i wish i could sign up for this for myseeellllfff)

Pathway 2: The Mystic Arts Dual Certification Practitioner’s Pathway

This is for the dedicated practitioner in training

The Mystic Arts Dual Certification Practitioner’s Pathway is the first of its kind training practitioners through breath, body, and movement. The curriculum and format is designed explicitly for the active space-holder, coaches, therapists, nurses, and dedicated leaders in training who are ready to collapse time and step into your gifts in the healing arts. This intensive, high-touch container preps you to complete two tracks of studies:

  • Certified FLOW Breathwork Facilitator

  • Certified Somatic Integration Guide

  • + access to everything in Pathway 1:The Mystic Arts Explorer Pathway

The biggest gap we’re seeing in the somatic space right now are facilitators who have trained in a modality, but without real-world integration skills to help their communities INTEGRATE what happens afterwards. We’re seeing loads of people getting their nervous systems dysregulated in weekend long “nervous system regulation” sprees that leave tender and vulnerable bodies severely disoriented for months after. This includes plant medicine facilitators, somatic healers, and trauma release experiences. What do we do for aftercare and community once these cathartic moments have passed? Are you equipped as a practitioner, and not just a well meaning person?

We know you have medicine.
You have offers to make.
Multiple.

Your song. Your voice. Your poetry. The art that is you gets to exist in this work and the MORE of you that’s integrated into it, the more potent you are.

Not only are you training in Flow Breathwork, a decolonized methodology rooted in movement and wisdom traditions, but specializing in somatic integration means that you simultaneously tap back into you own medicine while crafting experiences that are meaningful, sustainable, and maintainable for your community.

More details about the DUAL CERTIFICATION PATHWAY HERE

Here’s my honest answer…

You already know lol.

Breathe and sit with it.

You’ll know if you’re being called to lead. If your gifts are asking…no - BEGGING to be expressed. You’ll know if you’re being called to be in service by genuinely sharing what you have collected over the years with others. You feel that tension in your body of already having stepped into the unknown but maybe a part of you still resists. You’re collecting collecting collecting, but never applying. Never being held. Never being seen. Never having the opportunity to be witnessed in your fullest expression, not even by you.

That tension is what future practitioners feel.

Not the “I want to help others” performance mask, but actually a truuue desire to experience your own self fully. What a spiritual mind fuck that maybe we’re just here in this flesh suit as the universe to experience itself. And how do you get to do that too?

I just deeply know that you’re not on this page because you like reading AI slop. You’re here for genuine transmissions, just like you crave to also genuinely transmit. All the ingredients are already there for you. You have everything you need already. And sometimes it’s just the practice of being witnessed and supported that helps unlock it even more.

I know I didn’t give you a simple check list for you to decide “which pathway”.
This is you practicing your intuition, sovereignty, and free will to choose your own playground. Respect what your body tells you.

So have we met already?

I’m Shanila Sattar, my name literally meaning “Soft Leader”, a 13th generation mystic, 4th generation sound healer, researcher, speaker, best selling author, host of a globally ranked podcast - The Playground, dancer, artist. I accidentally flew too close to the sun and became a music producer this year, channelled music in nature, sent myself on a healing arts tour with 10 soul’d out stops, trained 1000s of therapists in somatics, and somehow I feel like I’m just getting started.

I’m literally constantly in my own lane.

I’m accomplished in many ways, but these days I find returning to my softness as a leader, shifting my frequency as nature, wisdom traditions, and elders call me to go deeper into my work.

I founded the first decolonized breathwork facilitator training school rooted in wisdom traditions, and The Healing Arts Academy, which many have described as the graduate school for healers!

In 15 years of my time in the healing arts I’ve trained 1500+ breathwork facilitators and sound healers who are in the world doing cool shit. I’m also one of the first to receive grants from the State of California to bring holistic healing arts such as sound and breathwork to clinical populations. I’ve implemented programs in women’s shelters, veteran’s legions, and underserved school populations. I thrive in supporting conscious healers ready to put in the real embodied work for their collective.

After a year of just doing ME, I re-activated a bunch of my dormant codes. Reopening The Healing Arts Academy and inviting you to the mystery school is just exactly what’s lighting me up these day.

I can’t wait to see what we do together.

Winter 2026 is our Founders Round!
These are limited time rates for you before our library grows each semester. Lock in cause I don’t wanna hear about ittt.

I’m coming to become dual-certified on the PRACTITIONER pathway!

I’m coming to explore the mystical and magical wonders of the universe on the EXPLORER pathway!

Got Questions?

  • All the details are outline here for aspiring practitioners: www.flowbreathworktraining.com

  • ah what a metaphor for life. No worries. Raven is available to have a little chat with you here:

    Book a connection call

  • 3 months!

    Winter Semester will go a little bit before Winter Solstice all the way to Spring Equinox. We mystical!!

  • We’ll announce it when we enroll for it. But quite honestly, when’s the next semester is the real question. Maybe Summer. Maybe next winter. The last semester was in 2021. So take your own gamble.

  • Explorers…yes! Replays are posted roughly 24-48 hours afterwards in our platform.

    Practitioners - a little iffy. We have certain certification requirements posted here that require your presence. None of the pathway 1 calls are required. They’re for fun.

    You can talk to Raven here:
    if you have concerns whether your schedule can accommodate your studies.

  • Explorers: You have access for the semester, and an additional month. We may offer you a membership option if you’d like continued access to course materials.

    Practitioners: You have lifetime* access to your certification materials and semester access to Mystic Arts Mystery School.

  • You get to lock in this rate for future semesters. Each semester, the living library will expand, more studies will be added, and the content will continue to grow. And with that, future semesters will be more expensive. This is the lowest the coursework will be offered.

  • Short answer, yes.

    Most of our studies center women, women’s bodies, women’s cycles, and women’s lived experiences.

    Most of our studies also center BIPOC lens, trauma informed perspectives, and creation of spaces where studies like this can be done is DEPTH within a certain level of safety.

    However, it’s not closed off to men, or non-female identifying folks. We LOVE the men coming into earth wisdom studies. The community and connections we build are really special.

    BUT you need to understand that nothing here will be centered around men’s comfort. You will receive SO much from either pathway and we’re happy to chat with you if you have concerns if this offer is in alignment to what you want to experience.

  • Feel you!! You can get on a connection call and see where your heart is leading you. It’s important to listen to yourself AND notice where your growth edge is.

    Raven is on standby for a no-pressure connection call. Her entire role is to help guide you into a pathway that’s genuinely enriching for what you want to experience for your own growth.

Due to the nature of these offers, registration is non-transferrable and non-refundable. Please meditate deeply on your intentions of joining this unique experience in Mystic Arts Mystery School and how you'd like to expand within this community.
