“Refusal to believe until proof is given is a rational position; denial of all outside of our own limited experience is absurd.”
- Annie Besant

Mentors:

Life is a spiritual practice. What that implies is that we need to be accountable to uncover where that isn’t happening for us. Throughout my trainings—whether through indigenous, multi-cultural, scientific, psychological, or body-oriented instruction and teachers—my gratitude for the richness of all that was shared with me, is intermingled into that which I wish to share with you.

The late Grandmother Twylah Nitsch—Yehwehnode Two Wolves, She Whose Voice Rides the Wind, a Seneca Elder and one of the wisest woman I have ever known. She initiated me into the Wolf Clan Teaching Lodge; counseled me on the use of a psychological model based on sacred Wisdom Wheels; and instructed me in the use of my personal medicine gift, as a dream decoder.

Through Gram I came to understand my involvement since early childhood with the Starbeings. [Experiences further delved into with the late Harvard professor Dr. John Mack and Roberta Colasanti of PEER: Program for Extraordinary Experience Research.]

SWV- Juan Nuez del Prado 1.jpg

Dr. Juan Nunez del Prado, an anthropologist, kurak priest in the Andean Mystical Tradition and scholar on multiple subjects. Instructed to disperse this body of knowledge from his master teachers'—Don Benito Qoriwaman, Don Andrea Espinoza and Don Melchor Deza—he initiated me into the 4th level Andean Mystical path in '94 and as a Chumpi paq’o. Juan's unswerving loyalty to the truth and pragmatism of the Andean teachings has been a constant reflection of true integrity.

 
SWV mariano.jpg

The late Don Mariano Apasa Marchaqa, Q’ero elder and kurak akulleq, who awakened me to the power of munay—how to forgive and use heart energy as a catalyst to bring union between the left and right sides of the Andean Mystical tradition. In ’92 Don Mariano bestowed upon myself and another woman, the honor to open a new mesa that embodied the ancient feminine, to help restore balance with the Divine Feminine for the coming Pachakuti time.

 
SWV-Americo.jpg

Americo Yabar likewise mentored by don Benito Qoriwaman, he is a chakaruna or 'living bridge' between cultures. Americo instructed me in the left side of the Andean Mystical Tradition, and taught me how to embody 'salka energy' (natural universal, undomesticated energy). In ‘92, Americo took a group to Mollomarqa, his ancestral home, where I first met and was initiated by don Mariano Apasa. Later he took 5 women paqos throughout Peru & Bolivia for our further training in the Andean arts.
