The AYNI School

The Ayni School is an invitation to step into a life of deeper connection — with yourself, with Spirit, and with the living web of the Earth.

Each year of the school opens a new portal: The first year is all about learning to live and speak from the heart. The second year is an invitation to speak, live and heal from the soul level.

Rooted in shamanic practices, energy healing, and earth based wisdom, this school guides you through a journey of self-healing, spiritual empowerment, and embodied wisdom.

Year 1: The Ayni Medicine Wheel

A Yearlong Training in Shamanism, Energy Healing & Connection to the Natural World

The first year is an initiation into the deep aspects of your soul’s longing — for connection, presence, expansion, and trust in life’s cycles. Working with the medicine wheel, you will step through a sacred portal that unfolds in unexpected and magical ways.

Through initiations in Energy Healing (Shamanic Reiki Level I–Master), earth-based ceremonies, work with plant spirits, Yoga Nidra, and sound practices, you will learn to hold healing space for yourself and others. By the end of the year, you will have developed your own healing practice and grounded your medicine into daily life.

Year 2: The Soul’s Path

Stepping into Your Soul’s Path

The second year is for those who have completed the Ayni Medicine Wheel and are ready to claim their role as wisdom keepers and guides. This training focuses on advanced healing techniques, space holding in 1:1 and group settings, and stepping into the healer’s seat with confidence.

Each participant will not only deepen their own practice but also begin to guide and teach, creating offerings rooted in their unique medicine.

Who is this school for?

The Ayni School is for you if you feel called to…

  • Commit to your path of self-healing and soul growth
  • Reconnect to the wisdom of the natural world and its cycles
  • Awaken your innate healing abilities and intuition
  • Learn to hold space for others with integrity and depth
  • Step into your role as a healer, guide, and community weaver

The Ayni School

The Ayni School is the heart of Flavia Ghidossi’s work. It is a living school of earth-based wisdom, spiritual remembrance, and embodied healing. The Ayni School is not a system to follow, but a return to an ancient knowing that lives inside the body, the land, and the breath.

Flavia founded the Ayni School after many years of studying and teaching on Shamanism, Energy Healing, and Yoga. Her path has evolved through dedicated practice, extensive training, and time spent in the mountains, forests, and rivers that have shaped her understanding of relationship and belonging. Her work is rooted in the principle of Ayni — sacred reciprocity — the remembrance that we are always in exchange with the living world.

Flavia’s teaching is characterized by clarity, groundedness, and gentleness. She creates spaces where the nervous system can soften, where intuition becomes trustworthy, and where students remember that their medicine is already within them. Her role is not to define the path, but to help each person recognize and walk their own.

The Ayni School is not just a training. It is a homecoming — to the body, to the earth, to the unseen, to the soul.

“The year-long training with Flavia can hardly be described in words. The knowledge Flavia shares, the wisdom she imparts, and the way she teaches is truly unique. I was able to experience Reiki in a completely different and wonderful way, for which I am incredibly grateful. The group weekends are profound, and the open exchange helps to better categorize, understand, and ultimately apply what we have experienced. Likewise, immersing yourself in shamanic practices in combination with Reiki is incredibly exciting and very healing. Thank you, Flavia, for holding the space and for your courage in opening such wonderful spaces.”

– Devi, 2025/6

“I really like the training! It's perfectly structured, versatile, and very effective. The fact that it's spread over a whole year leaves room for personal practical application, and I'm convinced that this training will have a lasting impact. In addition to the power of Reiki energy, I'm particularly inspired by the shamanic journeys, which open the boundaries of space and time for me. A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful Flavia. Shamanic Reiki is her absolute passion. This is evident not only in the unique handouts, but also in the superbly structured training and Flavia's vast knowledge. She guides us through this magical training with heart, joy, and depth.”

Participant 2025/6

“Dear Flavia, your teachings are profound and authentic. I am impressed by your knowledge and your ability to hold the space. Above all, I am impressed by your authenticity and how you embody your knowledge as lived wisdom. You can feel that you are following your heart's path—your "path of heart"—and that is incredibly inspiring!”

Yoko Lüthi, 2025/6

“Our paths crossed so beautifully, and I have been able to learn so much from you. I have great faith in this heartfelt path of Shamanic Reiki. And you demonstrate it to me so easily, wisely, deeply, and naturally. So much clarity, a coherent structure, and a good sense of what is needed and when. A true master of teaching. And yet, it doesn't feel like a lesson to me, because you aren't re-teaching Shamanic Reiki; it's your life, and we are witnesses to your connection with life-force energy: Reiki.”
