Voices of Deep Transformation and Connection from Our Sacred Community

"Dedicated Spirit"

I have known Athena and her family for many years now and very much admire the congruency between their ideals and the life-path they have chosen to create for themselves.

I have been to many events and some ceremonies hosted by Athena and Jeremy and have always come back with a better sense of my own definition and place in the world. Athena is a healer whose kindness, dedication and reverence for Spirit and our Earth-Mother are evident at first glance.

Many have been the occasions where I have felt gratitude for the gifts she shares so freely and wisely. Medicine Woman is she… dedicated to the healing and harmony of all her relations. Blessed are those who are fortunate enough to work with her.

"A bright spirit, here to guide"

Of the 75 or so times in my life that I’ve drunk medicine in ceremony, more than half have been under Athena or Jeremy’s powerful, protective agency of care.

We all feel safe in their maloka. In fact, I’d take it a step further: we feel safe with everyone who sits in ceremony with Jeremy and/or Athena.

Anyone walking the path of the consciously awakening being would do well to spend ceremony time with Athena or Jeremy, given the opportunity. With their light-touch guidance, you will see the music, hear the fragrances, and smell the colors.

"Precious Gem"

I first met Athena years ago when I was feeling unwell. A common friend had referred me for a massage. I did not know I was in for such a treat. It turned out to be much more than I had expected. From the very beginning, she demonstrated compassion and listening skills which immediately put me at ease. She proceeded with a thorough treatment during which she sang. I was shocked, her voice and songs were so soothing. She was careful and considerate and even played in my hair, I felt nurtured, in good hands.

I am so grateful for meeting Athena.
Her contributions to the community are greatly appreciated and very inspiring.
Athena is an incredible facilitator and is truly dedicated to helping others. I can’t wait for the privilege to share space with her again. I know in my heart and deep in my soul, that she has played an important role in my recuperation and healing. I am forever grateful.

"Getting to Know a Shining Star"

I am happy to share here my experiences with Athena, both as a person and as a leader in Ceremony. I have engaged in Ceremony within community for many many years, so I know when the space and people are cared for and regarded as sacred. Working and getting to know Athena over the years has been wonderful. Sign of the changing times where the sacred feminine and their innate gifts are emerging once again for all to learn and heal by. What the world needs are authentic, wise, and gentle leaders of ceremony, and Athena fits this bill 100%. She holds space, ceremony, and wisdom as well as any I have had the honor to sit with. Blessings Athena and all who are graced to work with her through this journey called Life.

"An Old and Wise Soul in a Young Body"

I have enjoyed two retreats with Athena. The type of spiritual retreats that Athena guides you through are not for the faint of heart. If you are going to be guided you must know deeply in your heart you can trust your guide. Athena is that person for me. She is a soft and loving and yet strong and firm.

She resonates Mother essence. I trust her implicitly to guide me through the experiences for the highest good of my soul. Each experience, through her guidance/presence, has deepened my connection to myself, higher self and nature. I am extremely grateful for all she has done for me.

I look forward to the retreats she brings to our community. Even as I read these words, they seem inadequate to communicate how deeply she has touched me. Thank you so much Athena.

"Soul Sister"

I’ve worked with Athena in ceremony thes past years, and am aware of the strength and magic she holds through her heart and voice.

She walks in integrity both in this world and the spirit world. She holds a strong protective container for those under her watch in ceremony.

Athena is following her heart path offering this work, and is dedicated to tradition but also to her own soul’s wisdom that has come here at this time for all of us who are called to work with her.

Athena has a pure heart and this comes through her work in a beautiful way. I recommend her to anyone searching for a loving, accepting, safe space to dive into their deep inner work.

"Mother to all"

Athena is a brilliant Light in this world. I am truly blessed to be held and supported on my journey by her love and wisdom. Athena is a gifted and talented healer who brings a deep sense of benevolent love to all as she facilitates one’s own inner healing. She sings like an angel, has a megawatt smile, and knows how to laugh and forgive. She helped me find my voice, my integrity, and my passion.

She sees people for who they really are inside, and honours one’s inner spirit. She has been my teacher for many years, and for that, I am extremely grateful. If you ever feel called to sit in ceremony or receive a healing massage with her, you are in for a treat. May the Great Spirit bless all of you beautiful souls.

Thank you Athena for bringing all that you bring to this planet!

"A beautiful heart"

In all she touches, Athena continues to leave one with a deep sense of groundedness, caring, and creativity. A breath of fresh air, just when you need one. Her love and admiration for all of life is truly a prize.

"A Natural Healer"

What you are first struck by when you meet Athena, is her incandescent smile. It is genuine and comes from her heart. It is an outward reflection of her love, caring and desire to be of service to anyone in need, and to the larger project of healing and making this world a slightly better place.

I have had the good fortune to be in _dieta_ with her, and have seen firsthand her dedication to the medicine and her deep love and dedication to the sometimes challenging work that this path can entail. She is a true wise woman, who brings her own unique blend of caring, grace, humor, and wit to the work of healing and personal transformation. Count yourself blessed if you ever have a chance to work with her:)

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.
