Voices of Deep Transformation and Connection from Our Sacred Community

"Excellent retreats"

I’ve been blessed to be a part of several of Athena’s retreats where she carefully creates a sacred and safe space. In each retreat I’ve attended, I’ve experienced tremendous healing and transformation. The facilitation and step-by-step process allowed me to go to newfound depths.

I highly recommend any retreat, training, or counseling Athena has to offer.

"Nurturing"

Athena has been instrumental to my personal healing journey. In her grounded, nurturing way, she has held sacred space, invoked spirit, gathered the women, sung to the bones, guided journeys, voiced her heart, unearthed the depths, birthed the new, and seen through-and-through. I am ever-grateful for her wise and loving offering. Highly recommended.

"Athena is an amazing, talented, and wondrous teacher"

I am so grateful to have been guided to take a class with Athena alongside a wonderful group of women in spring 2022, which led me through phenomenal spiritual healing and growth. She is knowledgeable and experienced, and with her intuition she taps into and adjusts the direction and flow of classes based on the collective group energies, leaving all blissful by the end of each session. She allows everyone to feel welcome and safe and can help move people through challenging emotions with sincerity, lightness, and joy. I wholeheartedly recommend her classes or one-on-one sessions. Lots of love.

"A retreat with Athena is an uplifting experience"

She will take you on a journey into the heart of who you are, where you will find strength, courage, and wisdom. Athena is a highly intuitive woman. She cares deeply, helping to illuminate the path for those who choose to walk with her. I look forward to joining her in ceremony again soon.

"Deep Spirit"

Athena possesses an innate power and depth of spirit. In a world flooded by ‘eager to lead’ organizers her extent and earnestness of development is both deeply comforting and inspirational.

Athena has invoked several fundamental developments within me, in both ceremony and waking life. If there is ever a chance to draw from this authentic spiritual guild and medicine woman I would highly recommend you seize the opportunity.

"No more fear"

Athena’s medicine is a distinct healing I have not experienced in any of the previous phenomena lived in a full spiritual life. I have learned the hard way that not every medicine person is built or ready to heal. Before sitting in ceremony with Athena, I was intimidated and terrified of ayahuasca from previous experiences.

This narrative has been fully rewritten by sitting with Athena over a number of ceremonies. The containers she can hold are imprinted and claimed with such love, that all elements, deities, and ascended beings become present. Her medicine only leaves room for finding your power, your voice, your unique medicine.

I have found my truth, time and time again with her, in deeper and deeper ways. And if you find yourself at one of her ceremonies, you will find yours too.

"A powerful, grounded, compassionate, wise woman and storyteller."

I attended a two-day retreat with Athena in 2018. Being in ceremony with Athena was such a blessing, she created the environment and initiated a process that allowed me to dive deep within. Athena provided a grounding fulcrum which I was able to use to anchor myself while I journeyed.

She created a safe, sacred space for healing. She took the time to ensure each individual under her care was well. I felt deeply cared for. She provided me with some support that was specific to my needs and it helped me tremendously.

In ceremony, I witnessed many spirits come through Athena as she guided our group – the hummingbird, the wolf, the bear, the wise elder – many spirits shared their voices. She is a storyteller, a singer, a healer, a carrier and protector of the medicine.

Thank you, Athena – truly.

"True teachers"

I am blessed to have found true teachers in my life. I consider Athena and Jeremy to be two of those. Athena is real, allowing space for you to grow and rise and expand in your own gifts and become empowered to heal yourself. She does an amazing job of leaving her ego away from ceremony, so the purity of the work may come through.

I never knew what to expect from ceremony, but I felt so safe and supported that I continue to get called back!

I appreciate and respect everything Athena does. She truly walks her talk and is an incredible soul to be in the presence of. I recommend connecting with her in whatever capacity to are feeling called to. Your life will be uplifted.

"Healing Songs"

Athena is a beautiful, kind, generous woman who seeks only to walk with healing footsteps across this earth’s journey. I have known Athena for many years and have been touched by her spirit’s powerful healing nature. Her beautiful soothing songs and magical hands have moved the pain out of my back after days of suffering. I have received her help, from counselling to physical ailments; she has an all-round holistic approach to healing and does her best to offer you what you need with a fair exchange. Athena has helped transform my way of seeing the world for the better and has activated positive growth in many lives. I am so blessed that our paths have crossed and grateful to her in so many ways. May your paths cross as well! ????

Deepening Your Understanding of the Path and Our Practices

Find clarity on our traditions, safety protocols, and the sacred journey of the plant medicine experience.

What are the Ancestral Wisdoms Traditions and how do you honor it?

We are deeply rooted in the Ancestral Wisdom Traditions of the Peruvian Amazon. Our work is guided by traditional icaros (sacred songs) and ancestral techniques passed down through generations, ensuring the medicine is practiced with the highest cultural integrity.

Safety is our foundation. We maintain high-integrity spaces via thorough medical screening, trained facilitators, and small group sizes. We bridge ancient healing with modern safety standards to provide a secure environment for deep soul work.
A Dieta is a dedicated period of communion with a specific teacher plant. It is designed for students seeking deeper healing or training. We offer both immersive and remote containers to support your unique level of experience.
No prior experience is necessary, but a heart open to “Radical Faith” and transformation is essential. We offer guidance for both beginners and long-term students of the medicine path to ensure everyone feels supported.
We believe in a reciprocal relationship with the land. A portion of our proceeds goes toward philanthropy and replanting initiatives in the Amazon, ensuring we give back more than we take from the ecosystems that sustain us.
Integration is where the healing takes root. We provide resources, prayer, and meditation practices to help you bridge the wisdom gained during ceremony into your modern, daily life for lasting transformation.

Preparation involves both physical and spiritual alignment. We provide a detailed guide on the “dieta” (dietary) requirements and intentional practices to help you arrive with clarity and openness to the Great Spirit.

Our mission is built on the belief that personal healing is planetary healing. By helping individuals return to their divine nature and live in harmony with the Earth, we contribute to the collective awakening of all beings.
