Facilitators:
Chrissy McFarren is the director of Badger Creek Ranch, LLC (which she and her husband, Dave, own). Chrissy is the founder of Full Circle Alliance, a 501c3 that supports the educational mission of the ranch by providing regenerative agriculture events, retreats and an internship program for the next generation of land stewards. Besides being dedicated to the healing process of open range lands, Chrissy is also dedicated to the personal growth and healing of humans.
Chrissy is a Certified Shadow Work® Facilitator and has been a facilitator of the Women in Power initiation since 2006. She has led and co-led a variety of workshops and retreats for women and men over the last 20+ years. She is a Co-Founder and Co-Facilitator of Sacred Interruption Pilgrimage alongside Paige Gardner, Gretchen Kainz, and Nathalie Jackson. Chrissy is also the founder of a unique model of Shadow Work® called Shadow Work® Through the Way of the Horse, and of True North - An Exploration for Women, which are offered at Badger Creek Ranch in Colorado.
Paige Gardner is a Certified Shadow Work® Group Facilitator and a graduate of the Woman Within and Women in Power initiations, as well as the Priestess Path Apprenticeship with ALisa Starkweather. She is a Co-Founder and Co-Facilitator of Sacred Interruption Pilgrimage alongside Chrissy McFarren, Gretchen Kainz, and Nathalie Jackson. Most recently, she co-facilitated True North—An Exploration for Women with founder Chrissy McFarren.
Paige has served as a guest facilitator and co-leader for a range of women’s personal development groups over the last 20 years. She brings a warm, grounded presence and honed skills to group facilitation. A retired Speech-Language Pathologist with nearly 40 years of experience, she draws on her gifts in the field of communication to offer a unique blend of deep, intuitive listening—to hear beyond what is spoken—and an ability to sense beyond conventional perspectives, seeing both possible paths forward and the bigger picture. She brings these skills, along with her open heart, into spaces devoted to healing, personal growth, and empowerment.
Paige has supported and trained women throughout the U.S. and Canada in the formation of intimate, intentional support circles. She is passionate about guiding from behind, walking alongside, witnessing, and holding space for individuals throughout their growth journey. Her work invites people to tune into their own inner guidance, rediscover who they truly are, and step more fully into living that truth.
Katie Chiaravolloti is a commitment to unearthing true self and bringing forth consciousness with curiosity and love. She is Soul Guide, an Emotional Baggage Hander, a Certified Reflexologist, and a Creatrix of Sacred Space. Katie is a Shadow Types® Practitioner and a Shadow Work® Facilitator and Coach. Having studied under Ann Sousa, an initiated elder of the West African Dagara Tradition, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés Réyes, ALisa Starkweather, and within the teachings of BodySoulRhythm (Marion Woodman, Anne Skinner, and Mary Hamilton) through Janice Steiber-Rous, Jean Ester, and Polly Howells, Katie believes that making space for one’s own inner wisdom (especially in community/groups settings) weaves the path toward healing.
Katie walks as a witness and guide for folks to discover and harness the gold that lives hidden in the shadowy places. She uses circles, reflexology, energy work, and other modalities to make space for the inner knowing of the client. It is her hope and prayer that as one integrates one’s own healing, the ripples of love and care will blossom out to family, friends, and community.
