Reconnect to the sensuous life you deserve through a journey of shamanic practices — one that promises to reignite your deepest desires and stir your soul.
You are uniquely here at this time, having an embodied experience — a DIVINE, embodied experience.
Yet, society has sent you thousands of subtle messages to stay quiet, avoid relating to others, and tune down your connection to your body, your desires, and the Earth.
Unraveling that conditioning is part of waking up to a new and freer way of living.
Are you ready to level up how you show up in the world?
Are you ready to be in right relationship with yourself and with the Earth?
To truly create a world free from oppression, we each have to face the ways that toxic social systems reside in ourselves and undermine the natural pleasure, exuberance, and creativity that is our birthright.
When we understand how to liberate our minds from the harmful habits that are often necessary to survive in contemporary culture, and instead focus on the service of our heart’s true longing, then we can free our collective power to build the world we long for.
True transformation starts in the body, so this is where we must begin.
With the compassionate guidance of shamanic healer Langston Kahn, you will cultivate the techniques necessary to dismantle societal conditioning and taboos — and build the spiritual resilience necessary to move ahead and create positive possibilities in the world.
Drawing on Indigenous wisdom traditions, and working through a series of talks, experiential exercises, and body-based techniques, Langston will help you metabolize fears and traumas...
... and emerge into a realm of beautiful transformation by freeing your authenticity and unlocking your unique genius.
During these soul-awakening 5 weeks, you’ll:
- Discover concrete skills to cultivate deep grounding, skillful boundaries, and a healthy energy body
- Learn methods for authentic shadow work, learn from (and heal) your triggers and trauma, and release stories, beliefs and fears that are holding you back
- Explore tools for effectively tending personal and collective wellbeing within community as you claim the power of your gifts
- Learn how to feel, listen, and connect with your body’s wisdom
- Honor the Earth through rituals and teachings that connect you with the elements, the spirits, and the land on which you stand
- Work with your emotions as teachers
- Explore desire, longing, and the erotic as a source of your power and sovereignty
- Discover the importance of surrender, desire, and rest as you step away from a life based on busyness, fear, and survival
- Manifest your vision, and cultivate a healthy relationship with power
Week by week, Langston will guide you along a journey into your being — into the temple of your body through the vehicle of your desire. You’ll learn to connect with the Earth beneath your feet and the elements that keep your spirit alive.
Langston’s teachings will encourage you to:
- Talk specifically about patterns as a result of being socialized in these systems
- Expand your edge through experiencing new definitions of terms you’re already familiar with and practices that you may not be
- Address the challenges of where we are in this world right now
- Liberate the power of erotic desire, and discover how to use it as a compass to navigate the pleasure of being in the body and the sensual world
- Relate better with others
- Become a reverent ecological steward of the land: Repair, reconnect, and explore what it means to be a custodian of the land versus extracting from the Earth
The course will culminate with Langston bringing the group together to liberate and integrate your purpose and your vision — through the three truth centers of mind, heart, and gut — so you can incorporate them into your life and share your gifts in service of your vision and the collective.
Join this dynamic and inspiring 5-week journey to exp erience powerful transformation and healing through a connection with the spirit of the land, the elements, and the wisdom of your body.

Module 4: Unlocking the Deep Mind With Air (July 6)
Even when you’re connected to your desire, it can be difficult to discern what you truly want when your mind is filled with stories from your culture that attempt to dictate what you should desire.
This week, you’ll explore ways to move out of the analytical mind and into the Deep Mind so you can skillfully track your heart’s intuitive wisdom.

With new tools, you’ll be equipped to reconcile the inner and outer spirits of your heart to form greater intimacy in all your relationships. As you claim the power of your unique gifts, you’ll become even more open to your vision and engage with your Earth Shrine to manifest your vision.

Opening the Door to Ancestral Healing
Video Dialogue With Langston Kahn and Rabbi Dr. Tirzah Firestone
Tune in to a warm and personal chat between Langston Kahn and Rabbi Tirzah Firestone — two colleagues from different wisdom traditions — as they share their philosophies and cultural perspectives on compelling topics regarding our ancestors. They discuss how ancestors who have unresolved pain or unfinished lives (and are sometimes referred to as “ghosts”) impact our lives, and how we can discern them from our well ancestors. Rabbi Tirzah and Langston also reveal ways you can recruit your well ancestors to bless you here on Earth during these turbulent times.
What People Are Saying About Langston Kahn…
“You will be in exceptionally good hands.”
Langston is one of the first senior teachers at Last Mask Center in the Cycle of Transformation Teachings. He has dedicated years of study with me, mentored community members, and explored many years of independent study of additional work that allows him to deepen and express his unique gifts. I am honored to call him a community member and senior teacher. You will be in exceptionally good hands.
— Christina Pratt, author, healer, teacher at Last Mask Center and creator of Energy Body Mastery
“Langston is a powerful teacher.”
Langston is a powerful teacher. I have been in therapy for years working on untangling deeply entrenched stories and beliefs that have long held me trapped in persistent, oppressive patterns. Langston’s thoughtful, patient, and skillful instruction has helped me not only discover root causes of these deep beliefs and stories but also has helped me to clear them. As a black woman doing my clearing work during a time when racial tensions in my country are high, it was really refreshing to work with a person of color who could also offer support around clearing stories/beliefs rooted in my response to growing up in a racist culture.
— Ngozi Olemgbe, health educator
“Langston is patient, grounded, and discerning in how he teaches and holds space.”
Langston blends humor with sincere guidance and integrity in his work. The tools and techniques that he teaches have acted as a mooring for my emotional presence to discern what’s actually at the root of my habitual feelings, or the patterns connected to the choices I make. Langston is patient, grounded, and discerning in how he teaches and holds space. He has taken me on through my various states of growth and at times struggle, and I recommend his work for wherever you may be in your own journey.
— Ray Crouch

“I’ve never seen a course so well put together ever...”
I had never participated before in an online course. The packaging, presentation, inclusion, and Facebook postings created a wonderful, safe cocoon within which to participate.

The wealth of organization and ease of learning materials and support made this fun as well.
