Crystal Beach that she began to deepen her practice from the physical to all aspects of

yoga. Through mindful practice alone and in community, self-study, training, opening

her heart and the guidance and shared knowledge of teachers, friends, and fellow yogis

she has discovered yoga as a way of life. Connecting, uniting the mind, body, and spirit.

place of compassion and love for self and others. She loves to interweave poetry,

affirmations, and quotes into her classes. She is grateful to be a yoga teacher and to

practice in community with others.

She loves spending time with her family and friends, creating new memories, sharing

laughs, cries, and everything in between that this human journey has to offer. 

Blueraven, Is a modern mystic. Starting her transformative journey in her early twenties when introduced to Reiki, herbal healing & spiritual traditions from around the world, at a time in her life when she was questioning, that there had to be more to life.  And there was….  

Working at a rock n roll hair salon in the early 90s, she got to meet her favourite rock stars, like Guns & Roses, & Kiss. From there she went on to style hair at an Organic Spa & hair salon in Yorkville, where she was introduced to Holistic medicine.

This sparked an interest and she decided to enroll in the Natural Healthcare Practitioner program at Transformational Arts College in 2001. It was there where she fell in love with Sound, Colour, & Vibrational therapy. She went on to teach and perform at health shows in Canada & US.    

While practicing Women’s frame drumming at a Native Canadian Centre in Toronto, she was taught that First Nations Women started drumming in the 90’s to reclaim their voices through the power of the drum! This was a pivotal point for her ; in finding her own voice and she went on to form an all-Goddess troupe; The Blueraven Drummers, Chanters & Dancers, in 2010. Their music celebrates world culture, connecting and all humanity through the heartbeat of the drum.

Blueraven, is also a drum circle facilitator for all ages, & abilities, having worked in women’s shelters with youth and community centers. For people with special needs, retirement homes, schools, summer camps and corporate events.  

Having danced her whole life, she came across Bellydance at a time when she struggled with body-self-care. Having to fit into a perfect size for conventional dance didn’t suit her free spirit. Her first Bellydance teacher was a curvaceous & powerful Spirit. And dance were fused into one!  Blueraven, studied with Arabesque and went on to perform with professional Bellydance troupe, Vivace, in the Contemporary Bellydance show Inanna. She has choreographed for Rose theatre and has taught dance in Ontario, since 2013.

At a friend’s request to fill in spots for Nuit Blanches festival, she performed in the Guinness World Record for the longest Burlesque dance event in 2014. It was the most spiritual experiences of dance she has had to this date. Dance to her is more than just steps, its about energy and transference between dancer and audience.    

Having a curiosity for all things art, she studied at Academy of Realist Art in Toronto, working with masters taught her how to work through blocks and develop patience! She went on to sell her art pieces in galleries around Ontario. Her love for Nature comes out in her Faery doors, crowns, masks & fantasy paintings.  

Blueraven, entered college again in 2018 at 50yrs young, to study Horticulture at Niagara College. Being a wild child of nature, she could see the changes in the forests and wanted to help future generations. Challenged with learning differently throughout high school and having the mindset that academics wasn’t her thing. She got the support she needed and went from having average marks to ending with honours. Her love for wildflowers & restorative permaculture can bee seen throughout Niagara.

Her dream now is combining all her knowledge in an inspiring setting.  Where Nature & Art meet. A place where people can see the beauty in all things. “I have always felt that nature is my home and when we care about something, we want to take to care of it. Art has helped me through, mental, physical & spiritual challenges many times.  And it is said that when you would go to a Shamanic medicine person for healing, they would ask you, when did you stop dancing, singing, being enchanted by stories & feel comforted by sweet silence?

I’m here to have fun on this Earth-walk and I hope you’ll join me.

With good mind & heart – Om Shanti Natalie Blueraven”
