Mark Hoppe

My career has been deeply rooted in working with both people and the environment. I spent 18 years in the North, beginning in Nunavut as a Renewable Resource Officer and later serving as Superintendent for the Department of Renewable Resources in Norman Wells, NWT. I then moved into consulting in Whitehorse, supporting First Nations and government on environmental projects, before relocating to Calgary, where I worked for 13 years in Aboriginal Relations.

While in Calgary, I felt called to reconnect with a deeper sense of grounding, which led me to the healing arts. I trained in Reiki and shamanic healing through the Four Winds Society and spent time in the Andes with Q’ero healers, receiving the Munay Ki rites. For over 18 years, I have supported clients through physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual challenges, offering a gentle, integrative approach that fosters lasting balance and well-being.

Spiritual Protection Workshop

Many people are interested in how to protect themselves from negative energy/people. This presentation talks about intrusions and how to manage them to live a lighter life. This is particularly useful for practitioners who work with others and pick up residues.
