Activate your Healing Gifts with Munay Ki

Healers, you can awaken more light on the planet! Right now.

This is the call from your Soul and a world hungry for light. Prompting you to accelerate your healing and source greater power as you share your gifts (known or to be discovered). This is a cosmic invitation to let your healing light, wisdom speech, and warm heart spill out into the world. Beautifying your own path and calling others to discover theirs.

If you feel the pulsing of this invitation deep within your being, join me as we enter the Sacred, let go of mind and time, and step upon the path of rapid transformation.

The gifts of Andean Energy Medicine empower the transformational path by accelerating your healing and awakening process.

This Feminine Earth tradition partners with the cosmic energy seeded within every human, creature, and aspect of Pachamama (Mother Earth) to clear, activate, grow, and share the blessings of harmony, love, and wise power.

Grounded deeply within the human experience, the Andean cosmovision offers a path of rapid transformation by working with intention, light, fire, and love.

All this light is looking for somewhere to land! As long as you’ve got a body, an intent to heal, and a heart full of dreams, you’ll be the perfect vessel for this cosmic light.

Healing always begins within so the Ignite your Light Body retreat is all about you. 

Feel free to bring every place within you that is uncertain, hurt, frustrated, and battered. You won’t be talking about any of your stuff, but it will all be offered up for healing. Don’t underestimate the power of cosmic energy to work its magic on your behalf. That’s what is thrilling about this medicine. It’s impact crosses space, time, and the cosmic web so you always receive more than you can imagine.

Now you’re left freer to rise up and trust your every step with a sense of completeness and purpose that’s felt in a practical and subtle manner.

Leaving you freer of worry or self absorption so that you may unselfconsciously show up and share what you have discovered about living as a wise healing presence. Beautifully imperfect with a heart that keeps opening to the greater love that wishes to pour forth.

Yes, I am talking to you. And yes, your Soul is speaking to you. Become still, drop in, and listen to that inner voice that echoes … “Awaken more light, please.”

You’ll do this by immersing within the teachings of the Energy Medicine from the Andes in Peru.

Using the Medicine Wheel from this Peruvian tradition, you’ll travel through the cosmovision of the Andes. Highly practical, you’ll discover that all Medicine Wheels are maps for the transformational path of awakening to your true nature. Each Direction introduces archetypal guides who are powerful guardians, teachers, and healers. This tradition encourages and strengthens your direct relationship with the natural world, cosmic forces, and your own inner wisdom.

Whether new to these teachings or immersed within their richness, you’ll discover how to immediately and practically understand and integrate this wisdom into your life and practice at the level you choose.

Your immersion into Andean Energy Medicine and Ceremony is powerfully aligned with Inti Raymi, the Festival of the Sun in Peru.

Celebrating the winter/summer solstice, the energy flowing through the sun, and Inti Titayti, the masculine Sun deity. 

Since the time of the Inka, this is the largest religious celebration. I was recently in Peru at the Sacred site of Sacsayhuaman outside of Cusco meditating on the high altar, anchoring in a connection with this ceremony over the centuries. As we celebrate the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, let’s link in to our extended family celebrating in the South.

Your immersive Ignite your Light Body Retreat will be filled with energy clearing/blessing, ceremony, initiation, introspection, and sharing.

I’ll be live streaming all aspects of your retreat in partnership with the Lineage of Healers and the Archetypes of the Andean tradition.

What’s that mean? I open myself to the love, wisdom, and power of these partners so that they may flow through me to offer you the perfect information, healing, blessing, and initiation. It’s a delight to be in Embodied Presence as a way of serving and you’ll definitely feel the powerful outpouring of love from this cosmic-earthly team. This is a live, highly interactive, and really human way of having a lot of fun as you engage the Sacred all day long. [And no, there is no electronic live streaming. You’ll be experiencing a “higher technology” in this event.]

You’ll receive a traditional Andean Limpia – an energy clearing and blessing of your power centers.

You are an energy body and you, like most humans, are carrying way too much dense energy. You were meant to be light! The Limpia will support the wellbeing of your light body and prepare you for ceremony and initiation. Throughout the day, you’ll be moving energy to “lighten up” your energy body . You can take home the practices that resonant and add them to your current repertoire of high vibrational tools for self and others.

You’ll be offered the Munay Ki initiation known as the Hampe Karpay or Healer’s Rite.

Munay Ki (power of love) initiations introduce seeds of light into your field via a light transmission. This will seed your energy field with light gifted from the Lineage of Healers across many traditions, offering you direct access to their mentorship, support, and love. As partners in the healing process, this seeding opens your heart, hands, and energy to work directly with this Lineage. Your healing service in the world, whether known or to be discovered, will be enhanced by this partnership gifted through the Munay Ki.

You’ll participate in an Ayni Despacho and fire ceremony. 

The Ayni Despacho is a ceremonial offering with the intent for healing, harmony, love, and abundance for all areas of your life, your families and communities, Pachamama, and all beings. This beautiful ceremony will be offered in community so you may add your intent with every item placed within this “present.”  

In order to call forth rapid transformation and blessings, the Despacho will be dispatched to the winds and elements during the communal fire ceremony. The smokeless fire pit offers an opportunity to gather round the fire, weather permitting, to witness Pachamama’s assistance.

You’ll also learn how to do a personal fire ceremony (indoors!) to release your challenges and bless your seeds of light and power.

You’re in good hands with this lineage and I’ll guide you seamlessly through this enriching experiential retreat. All you have to do is show up. Come as you are with an intent to heal whatever needs to be healed and to bless whatever needs to be blessed. Your wisdom, open heart, and curious inner child will play well with the power of the cosmic light that will flow to and through all of us.

I’m pleased to be holding the event on Saturday, June 24th at the beautiful space in Marlton known as Massage by Laura in Marlton, NJ. 

If you haven’t visited this space, you’ll know why I’m pleased once you walk in the door. It’s a perfect location for our all day gathering. You can get more details and register by clicking on the Blue Box below which directs you to my Workshop page. I hope you join me. Your Soul hopes you join me. The world doesn’t know it yet, but they too hope you join me.

Let’s brighten up our Light Bodies and seed the world with light.

Peace be with you and with all.  No exceptions.

Ceremony and ritual have always been part of indigenous culture, religious traditions, and societal rites of passage. Given their prevalence across the ages, researchers have explored the benefit of participating in ceremony. There is a general consensus that participation positively influences physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health of the individual. Participating in a group ceremony increases a sense of belonging to community as well as something greater. You may be your own researcher and explore the personal impact of participating in ceremony or creating your own meaningful ritual.

Prayers for Pachamama

I’ve been spending a lot of time in the ocean recently.

That’s something for someone who doesn’t like to go in past her knees. Unless it’s a warm sunny beach in Florida or the Caribbean, then I’m all in. At least until I cool off, then I’m back to letting the sun warm me up.

Seems that’s been a big problem for years. That beautiful sun warming up our planet.

As you well know, it’s heating up the oceans. Melting the ice caps at an alarming rate. Shrinking the home of the polar bears and penguins. As these oceans heat up and rise up, they’re disrupting life in and out of the water. Marine heat waves, coral bleaching, drowning wetlands, and changes in weather.

The scientific findings across the board are hard to look at, let alone digest.

The impact of changing weather, reduced food sources, increased drought conditions, loss of species, and more severe storms are affecting all people and places on this beautiful planet. No place is untouched, especially in a large ecosystem that we call Earth. 



Where everything is connected in a complex, intelligent dance.

While some deny climate change, others despair, and many hide their heads in the sand, people around the globe are seeking creative solutions to not only correct the damage, but to enhance life. Now and in the future.

These are the scientists, adolescents, leaders of industry, and the man living down the street from you. All doing their part to creatively lessen the damage and restore the potential of a healthy ecosystem.

Melting ice caps make my eyes water. Beached whales, chemical laden food, and mistreated children do the same.

A future with further disruption to our fragile ecosystem has me wondering what else I may do to make a difference. I’ve been examining my daily habits, material usage, chosen charities, ethical purchasing, garden planting, and humanitarian pursuits.

My eyes are still watering and I want to offer more. But, where do I place my attention, talent, and love?

When I asked this question, I was reminded of the Andean wisdom tradition (Peru) which holds 3 foundational guides of living.

First, you consider the impact of your actions on all living creatures and the planet. Known as Ayni or reciprocity, you recognize that the way you live impacts your community, the global family, Earth (Pachamama), and future generations.

Second, the Beauty Way calls you to seek and see the beauty in all people, all beings, and all situations. To create beauty as you move through your moments.

Third, Dreaming the World into Being is a co-creative process. Aligning with the energy of creation, outside of time and in sync with the Soul, you open to what wishes to be dreamed through you.

Ayni. Beauty. Dreaming a new world into being.

The art of dreaming beauty goes beyond meeting your own needs and wants. It dives within the mystical energy to reveal what may be and invites you hold that dream strongly. To be open to instruction about how to live, love, and serve.

With this reminder, I recognized something I could do without scientific knowledge, policy making power, or billions of bucks.

I began dreaming of a future with pristine oceans, bountiful gardens, and healthy children.

I traveled far into the future as you know it. 7 generations and then 49 generations forward.

Seeking the energy of waters abundant with healthy marine life and absent of plastics and harmful chemicals. I found the abundant gardens overflowing with healthy food and equitable access. I witnessed children who were physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy.

I found a culture of conscious interdependence with a focus upon committed stewardship of Pachamama and her creatures, love for humanity, and abundant sharing of resources.

A seeming Eden or a fairy tale where humans didn’t destroy one another and their environment. I wondered what to do with these visions and this energy of a distant future. Asking the question, I got my answer.

“Paint this future into the now.” And so I did, birthing the “Prayers for Pachamama” series of original paintings.

All Prayers for Pachamama paintings are one of a kind and infused with the energy of hope, optimism, and healing.

This dream seemed to focus in three areas, so I created 3 separate series of paintings to honor these intentions.

“Precious Petals” paintings dream of healthy children who are cherished, heathy, and empowered to thrive. “Pristine Oceans” paintings celebrate unpolluted waters with abundant marine life and perfect temperatures. “Blooming Gardens” paintings envision a balanced ecosystem, abundant food and wildlife, and plenty of beauty.

When I paint, I witness the visions that flow through my inner sight as I feel the joy of living in a world where our collective healing has already taken hold.

To say this is a euphoric process of artistic creation would be an understatement.
It’s a dance party of sound, prayer, color, movement, and happiness.

With texture and depth, the richness of this dreaming comes to life on a canvas. Each painting radiates energy into your present reality as if seeding a map for you to awaken the next steps toward healing yourself, your great grandchildren, and our lovely Earth. They’re more than just a pretty painting. This energy has something to say to you.

Hang a painting in your space and expect to get some “instructions” on how to be a beautiful steward for the children, gardens, and planet.

I hope you enjoy the painting featured above. It’s called “Rising Ocean” and it represents the emergence of healthy oceans. I’ll be posting more photos soon or you can always stop into Soul Sanctuary to take a peek.

If I create a painting just for you, I’ll include your family and future generations into the creation process. Yum.

However you dream or take tiny big actions to support Pachamama, I’m sure we’ll all be feeling your gifts. It takes more than a village. It takes a global family to make change of this magnitude.

I’m glad we’re related

Peace be with you and with all.  No exceptions.

Are you a conscious shopper? With so much information available on the web these days, it becomes easier to research your products before you purchase. While some companies report how much they give back to local communities or donate (often a requirement of doing business in a certain location), many businesses take it a step further. Innovative technology, sustainable materials, reducing harmful emissions, caring well for workers, repurposed materials. It makes good sense for the planet and also good cents for the company. There are plenty of ways to win. It takes time to become an educated consumer and investor. Explore one thing at a time and make a change for good. Your good. Pachamama’s good. Our shared future kinda good.

New Andean Energy Medicine Sessions

20 years and 11 months. That’s all it took for me to deliver this empowering healing tradition to you!

Life has a funny way of spiraling around. Waiting until you’ve unloaded enough of the conditioned BS you learned and lived. Opening you to that next wonderful opportunity. And then letting it germinate for just the perfect amount of time. In my case, years! 

My spiritual adventure began in earnest when I stepped onto the Andean Medicine Path 20 years ago. 

It was such a foreign concept for me who was raised Catholic, trained to think scientifically, and launched into mainstream healing with psychology. It was so familiar to my Soul and made a shit ton of sense to me, even when that awareness baffled me.

I’m forever grateful to Alberto Villoldo for his books which introduced me to his work.

And for my friend, Janet, who prompted me to make the epic journey to Manhattan for sessions with Alberto and other Four Winds teachers. For those women I’d gather with to informally study the Beauty Way and all of the foreign, familiar teachings from Peru and the Q’ero Medicine Men and Women of the Andes. Forever grateful.

Then my Soul put that down and introduced the Angels.

 I learned there are different doorways into the healing potential of One great thing where you may align with the powerful energy and Mystery that is behind all healing traditions and spiritual explorations. I meandered around the Angelic Path for years until I was redirected to study Energy Psychology and Energy Medicine. Wow, did that blow my early training out of the water. And, better yet, align quite well with the shamanic and Angelic paths. 

All of these Paths wove together throughout the years, then bowed to the Sacred Feminine Mystery in Her wondrous emergence.

I recognized that familiar adventure of diving deeply, working directly with the etheric teachers, and sharing the wisdom gained via my classes and retreats. So, I wasn’t at all surprised when a few years ago, I was encouraged to teach the Andean Medicine Wheel Path. After all, I had been using that Sacred Map for almost 20 years in my own life and found it practical and empowering. You’d think I’d predict was was coming my way next. Nope.

I was blindsided at the beginning of 2022 when my Soul invited me to study the Andean Medicine Path in earnest.

Thank goodness I had experience listening to my Soul and trusting my capacity to LEAP without knowing where I would land.

I'm thrilled to bring you such a rich variety of healing techniques in the tradition of the Q'ero Medicine People from Peru.

 

I’m offering an introductory discount of $50 for every Andean Energy Medicine healing session booked by 12/15/22.

You may experience sessions in person at Soul Sanctuary or remotely via ZOOM. I’ve found that live and remote sessions are equally powerful. When all your work is guided directly by the Lineage of Healers (etheric and living), these masters have no difficulty reaching through any vessel (including my own) to interact powerfully with your energy body. 

There’s a lot to explore with these healing techniques. I’ll simplify it with a few words: love, beauty, empowering transformation. 

My new web page will shed some light upon what an Andean Energy Medicine session is all about, including the Andean initiations via the Munay Ki Rites. All sessions and initiations are enhanced by a deeper understanding of this tradition. The Art of Becoming 6 week Journey guides a group of women through the Medicine Wheel so they may deepen knowledge, establish energetic connection, and experience transformation.  

This Path invites you to directly commune with your own wisdom and the archetypal presence of the healing lineage, spirit animals, and nourishing presence of Pachamama (Mother Earth).

Whether you only try one session or dive wholeheartedly into this Medicine Path, I’m happy to share my enthusiasm and knowledge with you. I believe in the beauty of your Soul and your potential for transformation far beyond what you may now dream of as possible. 

After 21 years, and many spirals through the shamanic path, angelic healing, energy psychology and medicine, and sacred feminine mystery, I’ve got this to say.

Something somewhere knows what it is doing. 

This I trust. This I’ve experienced. And this I look forward to – however it shows up and whatever it invites me to explore. 

Grab your $50 discount if you book by 12/15/22.

Your code is energymedicine50 (can be used multiple times). This is a time limited offer. Sessions will revert to the normal price of $225 for 90 minutes on 12/16/22.  

However you intersect with my Spiral Path (Andean healing, Angelic connection, Energy psychology and medicine, Sacred Feminine Mystery), I’m happy to be with you.

I view all personal healing as the launch pad for healing the family, communities, country, planet, and cosmos you belong in. When the personal turns cosmic, the Earth and all beings benefit. Our future generations and lightening of past influence are helped since all of these approaches move beyond time, space, and dimension.

I’m excited to engage the Sacred in this way. I hope to share this work with you. Details are on my Andean Energy Medicine page.

Peace be with you and with all.  No exceptions.

The Kinship or Indigenous is posited to be vital to rebalance our life systems. There is a recognition that there are two primary and competing worldviews. The Dominant Worldview which most are living within is said to have more head than heart. Focused upon a rigid hierarchy, tolerant of injustice, built upon competition and personal gain, and the Earth viewed as an “it.” The Indigenous or Kinship Worldview is nonhierarchical, unified, views Earth as alive and loving, and values community welfare. Kinship recognizes collaboration across everything that is living: human groups, animals,  plants species, rivers, and mountains. Restoring the Kinship Worldview by Wahinkpe Topa and Darcia Narvaez may be the read of 2023. I know I’ll have my nose in that wise book.
