Last Mask Center

A center for authentic, non-traditional animist teachings for individual and community life

We teach and tend to the core of humaning well: the reclamation of embodied life with the natural world, the restoration of emotional health — personal and collective — and cultivation of guidance from a grounded, working relationship with spirit, Ancestors, Descendants, and the more-than-human world..

Energy Body Mastery, Energy Body Clearing, and Basic Journey courses together are the kernel; they offer the basic skills of humaning well. In practice these skills allow us to upend the dominant extractive preset we unconsciously carry and move out of ingrained trauma responses. Each course supports the restoration of healthy relationships with self, body, soul, land, life, and spirit. This basic skillset allows us to show up differently in the world and is the foundation for the deep transformation offered in our courses.

Healer, teacher, and author Christina Lee Pratt founded Last Mask Center in 1990, a school offering teachings that draw deeply on the foundational wisdom of the ancients, and practices to rise up with innovation and passionate action to meet the challenges of liberation and justice in our time. Pratt, a teacher of exceptional clarity, humor, and inspiration, offers online and in-person transformational classes, that are safe, effective, and efficient in grounding us ever more fully on the Land and in the elements while supporting us in being better humans. Her healing sessions are both traditional and pioneering to address complex trauma and ancestral healing. Christina is the host of the international podcast, Why Shamanism Now, now an archive of over 500 hours of free podcasts on the practical application of shamanism and the author of, An Encyclopedia of Shamanism, received with stellar reviews. It is available from Bookshop.org. She is a presenter in several Shamanic Summits, including those for Shift Network and Sounds True.

The Why Shamanism Now podcast explores how we can use the word “shaman” well, as responsible, shamanically informed global citizens, who gets to use the word “shaman,” and how shaman can be used with appreciation, respect, intelligence, and some reasonable hope for the future.  https://whyshamanismnow.com/2020/01/what-does-shaman-mean

"I stepped into Last Mask Center feeling directionless, at a transition point in my life. One class with Christina inspired a journey into online classes, shamanic healings with Christina, The Cycle of Transformation, and deep engagement with The Cycle Community. Because of LMC, I am now rooted in my own vision for my future, bolstered with skills to manifest it. The most fabulous, loving, warriors (humans who have also engaged with LMC) support me. Not only does LMC offer teachings that are deeply transformative, it is a powerful community taking the steps necessary to heal and renew our world."
