I AM KNOWN FOR CREATING SAFE AND COURAGEOUS SPACE FOR MY CLIENTS FROM WHICH THEY CAN MAKE EXCITING LEAPS TOWARDS THEIR TRUE LIFE – A LIFE THAT’S ON PURPOSE, GIVING YOU MEANING, JOY AND FULFILLMENT. I EVOKE PASSION, CREATIVITY AND ALIVENESS AS THE CORNERSTONES OF A TRUE LIFE.

TESTIMONIALS FROM TRUE LIFE COACHING RETREATS

On Retreat with Victoria, I learned what it feels like to give myself permission to put me #1 – in a gentle way that’s as essential as breathing.
- B.H., Durango, CO

My experience at Spa for the Soul was one of tremendous support, insight and community. The setting was nurturing in every detail. It reflected Victoria’s remarkable sensitivity to what truly nourishes our souls. While she directed and facilitated the many facets of the weekend, I found her to be completely present with each of us and masterful at hearing what we were seeking to express. I completed the weekend feeling very filled and very grateful.
- F.L., Eureka, MT

The Living from your Soul retreat for me was the ultimate launching pad for a personal soul journey. My mind was opened to an array of unique paths in which to explore and expand awareness of my place in this world. Blue Lake Ranch is a stunning, nurturing and still place to renew and seek. Victoria graciously created a truly sacred space that allowed each woman to search and free her soul in complete protection. The weekend was an invaluable experience that I treasure deep in my heart, and I recommend it to any woman regardless of beliefs or fears!
- J.E., Durango, CO

One World Rhythm Harvest and the Magical Mystical Muse Experience are here to provide recreational music making opportunities for communities of all kinds. Our focus is on cultivating a safe and nurturing environment for self-expression, community and personal healing, communication, and transformational work through the expressive arts of drumming, dancing, singing, and music making. We use music making as an awareness practice of self and group dynamics and exploring ways of being empowered individually while also supporting the empowerment of others and the integrity of the group.
Cheri Lunn has been observing, participating and co-creating magical drum and dance circles across the country for the past 10 years. She honors the synthesis of ancient and modern technologies, working with the drum, dance, and creative self expression in many facets, from techno trance parties to shamanistic earth festivals, ceremonies and corporate venues.

Cheri has had the blessings of sharing stage with members of the Grammy Award winning Flecktones, Aquarium Rescue Unit, String Cheese Incident, and many others. She has recorded 3 solo CD’s and is currently working on new material with her band, Turiya, for the next release.

She has studied Drum Circle work with the World Famous magician and alchemist Jeff McBride, and has worked closely with the Firedance Community in California on the evolution of Fire & Drum Circle Technology. She is the creatress of the Magical Mystical Muse which is a synthesis of all that she has directly experienced and learned over the years.

Cheri has a gift for bringing out the music in the most shy, inexperienced person, empowering them to find their own unique expression in a safe, nurturing and supportive environment. In addition to her work with the drum, she is a Certified yoga Instructor, devoted Yoga Pracitioner, Certified Massage Therapist, Ceremonialist, Ordained Priestess, Health Counselor and Life Coach. She incorporates spiritual practices into her work in a very non-obtrusive and subtle way that allows for an unfolding of what is present within each person.
