🌹Medicine Woman and Ceremonial Guide.

It’s been 10 days since I launched my book.I’m It’s been 10 days since I launched my book.I’m finally over the hump of the vulnerability hangover, and the wave of intensity in putting myself out there like this for the first time …and I wow I am just so grateful for all the positive feedback! 🥹In the last days I have received So many thoughtful long voice notes, messages, and direct conversations with people telling me how much they love the book,how it’s helping them.Many people shared how they found themselves crying, sensing energetic shifts and awareness emerging.Though I was so surprised and happy that for a good 4 days we hit best seller #1 in 4 categories.What makes me much more stoked is that people are reading it and receiving some of the transmission and prayers within it.Have a beautiful day…. And remember, everything is working for your liberation
If there is anything the plant medicines have taug If there is anything the plant medicines have taught me, it is this: be kind to yourself. Every time I do a dieta myself or enter ceremony, they always invite in more kindness.Not nice. Not pleasant or masking. But kind. I believe kindness means becoming the guardian you never had. It means protecting your mind from the thoughts that tear you down. One of the first shamans I worked with in Venezuela told me I was too hard on myself and he prescribed me the practice of looking in the mirror, smiling at myself, and saying “I love you” to my own face every single day. To say this was a game changer for me is an understatement. I encourage you to try it sometime. To look at yourself with kindness. And if a thought arises that says you don’t look good, that you are too fat, too thin, too old, or not enough, catch it like a hawk catches its prey, and do not let it in. When the thoughts feel heavy, ask the Great Spirit, God, your Creator, to help lift them, and trust that your prayers will be answered. When you are kind to yourself, it extends effortlessly to those around you and into all your relationships.You do not need to try to be less judgmental, more loving, or more accepting. You just need to be kind to yourself, to make a difference in the lives of those around you. Alright my friends; be kind to yourself today. Speak to yourself the way you would to someone you love. And remember, God does not come through big performative spiritual acts, but the presence of the great mystery always comes through acts of loving kindness.
It’s such a wild thing that the older I get, and t It’s such a wild thing that the older I get, and the deeper I go, the less I know….

Yesterday I volunteered at my friend’s elixir bar Yesterday I volunteered at my friend’s elixir bar at Mana Fest and had such a sweet time serving the ‘awa.‘Awa is a traditional Hawaiian medicine used for ceremony here on the island. It’s used in the hoʻoponopono ceremonies and in ceremonies for the ancestors.As it’s so effective for social anxiety, stress reduction, and pain relief, it has left the ceremonial space and entered the mainstream. Kava bars are popping up everywhere to replace alcohol, as it’s a much healthier alternative.Because they wanted the ‘awa to be served to the community with prayer and intention, I was like, this is what I was born to do …. serve plants and pray!I’m so grateful that after years of dieting plants, I have been able to heal my nervous system without spinning out. The Me just 5 years ago would have avoided festival settings like the plague, as I was so psychic and empathic I’d often spin out in loud busy settings simply because I could feel and sense way too much.Yesterday I was remembering watching the Andean pacos or the of Buddhist monks who would never be fazed by the chaos around them. Their prayer was far too strong, and they raised the energy instead of being taken by it.I had a moment really appreciating how much I have evolved and what joy it is to stay in your center without getting pulled into your environment and this is the fruit of the practice.I’m so proud of our Bobiensana cohort right now working through the process of dieta. I have 25 many advanced students in dieta right now, and I’m seriously inspired by how they have shown up.I’m so grateful for the continued observation of watching plants shift consciousness in positive ways when used with reverence and intention.I’m so grateful I get to fly back to winter tomorrow to be with my boys. I miss them, and weirdly, I miss winter too 😂 May your days be blessed with goodness

Want to read about how I found myself in an ayahua Want to read about how I found myself in an ayahuasca cult? Or met a ghost that was haunting my family that lead me to discover about a murder? How a beautiful medicine woman elder adopted me as her own and my first adventure to the Amazon jungle?How I healed my son of an illness that almost took him from us by listening to my dreams, or my love story with Jason.You can order my book! I think it’s a pretty great read myself. And hidden in its words are ikaros, codes and prayers for your own awakening and evolution.⚡️Alright guys this week is launch week so I’m going to shamelessly be promoting here and asking you also to share and promote it if you can❤️If enough people order it this week and leave reviews it makes a HUGE difference in the algorithm. And if you leave a review on Amazon ! Wow omg that would’ve pure gold.Memoirs of a Medicine Woman is a raw and luminous journey into the wild heart of life as our greatest teacher.Think Carlos Castaneda’s Don Juan meets the Gospel of Mary Magdalene with a splash of ayahuasca and a sense of humor. Part travel adventure, part romance novella, and part spiritual toolkit, the book follows me through my shamanic apprenticeship and practice across North and South America. From murder, ancestral curses, cults, and sorcery, to powerful rituals, sweat lodges, plant communication, Christ, Zen, prayer, and miraculous healing. Though not a long read, this book covers a vast inner and outer terrain, offering a spiritual perspective on topics such as psychedelic trauma, mental health, divorce, abortion, and autism. This book serves both as a compass and a companion for anyone who has ever felt lost, heartbroken, confused, or “too much” for this world. Whether you are a seasoned traveler on the ceremonial path or simply seeking soul inspiration, this book invites you to witness your own cosmic assignments with the Creator and reminds you to trust that everything is right on time and, whether you realize it or not, everything working for your inner liberation.
Aloha and blessings from Hawai‘i.It’s been a rea Aloha and blessings from Hawai‘i.It’s been a really prayerful time here. I’m on a little mini retreat for myself after a marathon and it’s been so sweet!As I’m holding an amazing group in Dieta, I’m finding myself really focused on the simple things.Eating coconuts, long walks, and lots of contemplation on the meaning of this existence.Right now, we are staying at one of our spots with an herbalist friend close to the lava field.The flow close to our house used to be the wealthiest spot on the island, ocean-view homes of the rich and famous 20 years back.Now it’s all just covered in black obsidian stone.Every time I’m here, I go meditate regularly on the lava at dawn and watch the sunrise.It’s kind of a funny experience to be meditating on a billionaire’s home, now turned to dust. It really does keep things in perspective!I’m reminded of one of Jesus’ parable on the sermon on the mount.Where he compares two builders. One is wise and built his house on rock and the other is foolish and builds his home on sand.What’s the rock? Well, mainstream religious folks would say it’s the church. But he says the rock, are his teachings. Which teachings on Love.When we build the foundation of our lives with love and God, Great Spirit, Source as our guide, we really can’t go wrong.Storms are going to come. Sometimes crazy hurricanes will hit your life. And personally I feel like some storms are a brewing right now in our collective.But if our foundation is steady, not based on worldly truth but living truth, and we keep choosing consciously to come back to love as our rock, we really do got this.Alright. I just wanted to say I love you—and to say you that your doing amazing job being here on earth at such a wild time.A little reminder: it’s your last chance this month to swoop into our Sanctuary container happening next Thursday. We decided to move it to the closest newmoon Thursday for easier planning. Maybe see you there!Have a beautiful day.
Today my completed manuscript was uploaded to Amaz Today my completed manuscript was uploaded to Amazon for print! Omg it’s done!But What feels wild to me isn’t just the accomplishment. it’s the medicine this process brought into my own life. Sooooo,Over the last few years, my mother and I have had a rocky relationship. We experienced a falling out and barely spoke, at least not in the way we once did when I was younger. That distance carried a lot of grief for me.In my book I share many family stories and secrets. I tried to write without outing anyone, but in the end, it was impossible to fully express the underworld journey I went on without telling the truth.Out of respect, I asked for her permission to share about a time I know she was not proud of.If im honest, I was afraid she might disown me. Instead, she wrote back to say she couldn’t put the book down and I did a great job.I was elated. Anyway, Fast forward , last month, the person I had hired to help me with the deets on self publishing completely bailed. And my mom swooped in and saved the day.Over the course of a month, she helped me edit, format, and poured countless hours into the project.But something even more meaningful happened…. We began to joke, to talk, to connect again. Everyday we were making contact. I realized that sitting around processing emotions was never her way.But Working on something together was our doorway to healing.I had originally dedicated the book to all mothers. Now I see how the prayer I held for this book came back to serve my own heart.And what’s more amazing is how filled with peace I am as I launch this…. Because Even if no one ever reads or likes this book, I have my mom back.I have tears in my eyes as I write this, because it echoes the central theme of the book itself: What if everything is actually working for your liberation? Like really?!I never could have imagined that someone bailing on me would open the door to a family healing. But that’s the cosmic joke.It’s never about the outcome, the project, or the thing manifesting. It’s about who you get to become along the way.Just remember my loves, you have no idea the plan the Great spirit has for you.🩷 Bless you⚡️
