Stories of transformation, confidence, and beauty — read what our community has to say about their journey with Athenanaia.
Athena is a wonderful guide for healing and wholeness. She brings her authentic nature with all of her own healing experiences to each interaction and we are left feeling supported and nurtured on our own paths. Working with Athena, I was able to connect with a deep healing part of myself and I was able to tap into my own inner wisdom. Thank you so much Athena.
I would recommend joining any retreat or healing experience where Athena is facilitating. You will be in amazing hands.
I have sat in ceremonies and events that Athena has hosted, facilitated, or organized, many, many times now. Each time is as transformative as the last and I always walk away grateful and filled with life again. Athena has a gift for intuiting the direction and creating the space needed for the people who show up. Her medicine, skill, knowledge, and presence are unique and down to earth.
You will find a strong, loving, and humble woman, walking this ancient path that we all are walking, and filling her medicine bag to share with those around her. I appreciate her guidance and direction in ceremony, as well as the ample room she leaves for my own wisdom and healing to arrive. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and to know that I can always come back to sit in ceremony with her and remember the beauty of life again.
Athena possesses an innate power and depth of spirit. In a world flooded by ‘eager to lead’ organizers her extent and earnestness of development are 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 guide and medicine woman I would highly recommend you seize the opportunity.
To sit with Athena and Jeremy in ceremony is to be blessed beyond words. It’s truly a heart-opening, cleansing, healing, loving, magical experience and it has changed my life in all areas possible —physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, etc — ones I didn’t even know existed lol!
I have sat with them for the past five years. They’re on a mission, a mission to make this place a better place and it shows. They’re available and truly devoted with their time and energy, transparent and open, supportive, and talented, so so talented… both of them…I have heard it over and over again. I would pay just to hear them sing or hear Jeremy play his amazing crystal singing bowls!
If you are looking for direction, healing, a real change in your life, whatever…you’ll discover it buried waiting to be released… and you’ll know you’re in good hands full of heart, love, and light to welcome it.
The wonderful thing is that all this beautiful love and life support continues long after the ceremony has ended. We carry the blessings received in our hearts long after our last goodbyes. We walk in balance again…a cosmic gift for this toxic world.
Thanking you beyond words, beautiful Athena and Jeremy.
I did a week-long retreat with Athena and had the most beautiful and life-changing experience of my life! It’s hard to describe the feeling of having her around in the best way possible.
She is there when you need her or help in general, but only in the right moments when you are ready to receive. She is very loving and caring and has helped me personally break down a few walls that I was putting in my own path. Any chance I could have to spend more time with her, I would gladly take in a second.
I am so grateful for having the opportunity to meet her and learn from her and patiently await the next time I see her and all the beautiful ladies that were part of the retreat. Thank you so much for everything Athena.
Working with Athena and Jeremy was a direct transmission of simplicity, clarity and humility. I very much appreciated the care and guidance she constantly gave during ceremony. I also appreciated that there wasn’t anything ‘extra’ no apparent ego was interwoven in the ceremony. That is a trait I usually see in Buddhist teachers so I really appreciated that in ceremony.
Lots of laughter and gentleness. Also, it was one of the most powerful ceremonies of my life which I’m still working to unpack. A deep thank you for holding such elegant space for me to do my work.
Thank you so much to you, Athena + Jason for allowing your beings to be the light + the sacred facilitators for this work, it’s so potent and the plant wisdom is a blessing to be introduced too, through you both ???????????? and to Carolyn, Graham + Court for co facilitating! You are all beautiful ???? I am eternally in gratitude for this space of expansion for us all.
I can’t really say thank you enough, I came into this dieta with my spirit feeling tired, my pathway transparent and going through a bumpy + painful set of learnings about my value, my boundaries and responsibility. My voice felt scared and small. Now I am again the fire burning in my own reality, I have firework energy and thorns as armour, I feel a golden shell wrapping up my spirit. This dieta has helped me remember fullness again, to know + love deeper again, to rekindle faithful belief, to clear my heart, throat chakra and to heal. To awaken my dragon ???? she’s here and she’s aint going to accept anything less than a sacred yes to what is coming in her path ????????
When I was a small girl I used to sit in the paddocks behind my house and speak to the stars, my sisters and brothers to ask them why they had sent me here ???? to this strange place; asking them to help me figure out how to help this earth. I feel my calling to expand further into ma bigness ????
Bless you all in this container, as we have all played a part in this journey for each other and I love you all X
Bukowski says, “There is no other path, there never was,” and this is how I feel about meeting you both. Thank you for believing that I can heal. That belief alone really brings me to tears.
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I arrived, or why I felt so called to sign up – but I felt a deep knowing this was where I was meant to be. The connection I felt last week reinstalled a sense of magic in the world that was lost on me — this child-like wonder of not knowing what one can expect behind every corner. The connections, friendships, lessons, and moments we shared — whether deep in medicine or laughing on the floor — invigorated a new sense of wonder that banished this jaded understanding of life that consumed me over the past few years.
Thank you for providing such a beautiful container during ceremony. A deep thank you for holding such sacred space for me.
Thank you for your singing, for your energy. I can only imagine how taxing it all can be to show up for all of this. You give so much! It is nothing short of heroic.
I experienced no pain in my back throughout the flight, it was magical – and I have faith the rest of my back pain will continue to fade.
To observe your healings is an honor! Thank you for opening my heart and mind that I am not alone in feeling not from this earth. Star sister! I woke up today and heard your voice: “We are so lucky.” Indeed, we are. Blessings.
I wrote a song for our group and for Athena & Jason after our Wednesday ceremony as a way to say thank you. The recording is very raw and the song is longer than I would normally write but it was a message that came through to speak of what our dieta embodied…maybe of what was felt, learned and most of all pure gratitude for the blessing of knowing you all and sharing such a beautiful space together. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers. I appreciate you all so much.
I came into this dieta for work on myself and I move forward with intention of holding this space, love and healing for all of us, for our planet and beyond.
The title of this song is “Thank You”.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. So much Love and Blessings to you all ????????????????
