MY SHAMANIC PATH

I grew up finding solace in the magick of nature — gathering locust shells, tracing rollie pollies under our trailer, chasing the soft glow of lightning bugs. These early moments became my first spirit connections, as guides spoke to me through dreams, drawings, and visions.

At the heart of my journey are the Archangels — eternal allies of light and guardians of the soul. Through the Summit Lighthouse and Elizabeth Clare Prophet, I studied the Seven Rays, the Archangels, and the Ascended Masters. I walk as a Code Carrier of the Violet Flame of Freedom, entrusted with the sacred teachings of Saint Germain.

My devotion to the living Christ Light breathes through everything I do — not from religious dogma, but as a mystical current of love and liberation moving through Creation. I deepened my path through Edgar Cayce’s soul readings, the living traditions of spiritualism, and rites received from Amazonian shamans, including Maestra Olivia, Tiata Nelson and Malieokalani Urrutia. I was honored to be the final student of Dr. Gary Langston, Red Bear Who Sees All Worlds, who opened my dialogue with the Earth and stars.

These teachings live within me not as borrowed knowledge, but as living memory — a sacred inheritance rooted in Earth, crowned by Stars, and carried in the breath of the Archangels.

My devotion is to forgiveness, compassion, and unconditional love — first within, then radiating outward. I honor the Inka seed within, remembering we are infinite beings weaving light through a finite world.

Above all, my greatest altar is my family. My husband and I walk hand in hand through life’s seasons, raising our beloved son in trust, faith, and sacred devotion.

Tiata Nelson Diaz Quenta - COLUMBIA

Beginning in 2014, I set in Ceremony with Tiata Nelson, Medicine man of the Cofán people from the Putumayo region of the Amazon. He was a very firm teacher, exactly what I needed.

The Cofán are among the oldest surviving indigenous cultures in the Amazon. They have lived for centuries in the forests where the Amazon Basin stretches toward the sky on the slopes of the Andes and its volcanoes. Cofán lands are home to primary forest, wild and pristine rivers, forbidding swamplands, and several thousand species of plants and animals, some found only there.

Under the guidance of Tiata Nelson’s teachings and the exploration of Ayahuasca, I experienced a profound sense of restoration. The plant medicine delved into the core of my DNA, mending the long-standing wounds of trauma I have carried.

The seasonal rendezvous with Tiata Nelson extended over a three-year span in my personal journey. It was at these Ceremonies where I would meet my next teacher Malieokalani Urrutia, Priestess Guardian of the Munay Ki. Munay Ki translates to “Pure Love”.

Malieokalani Urrutia - COLUMBIA

During the Ayahuasca Ceremonies held by Tiata Nelson, I met a woman named Malieokalani Urrutia. She is a community leader at Sacred Women School, who has been initiated in the healing traditions of the Amazon and the Andes. She was born in Chile and raised in Miami.

She mentors women and leads spiritual expeditions throughout the Americas. Malieokalani, has received shamanic training in the Andean Medicine Wheel at the Four Winds Healing the Light Body School

She is an incredibly gifted medicine woman that heals with the elements, guardians of the earth, her guides, and angels. Through her teachings I became accustomed to The Tapestry of a Woman, and began to understand medicine practices of the Divine Feminine, and the Legacy of the Rose.

In 2016, Malieokalani initiated me in the Lineage of Munay Ki. The words ‘Munay Ki’ come from the Quechua language of the high Andes, and translates to ‘Pure Love’, Divine Love in action.

Dr. Gary Langston - Cherokee Medicine

At the commemoration of Dr. Gary Langston, known as Red Bear Who Sees All Worlds, our community gathered to honor his memory. Each of us received a vial of his ashes, distinguished by a green hue, displayed alongside the citrine crystal skull, Metatron.

To me, Red Bear was more than a teacher—he was a friend and father figure. His nature-driven philosophies and role as a modern Medicine Man left a lasting impact. His deep love and connection to animals made him truly unique.

As a sanctioned teacher of the PachaKuti Mesa Tradition (PMT), Red Bear shared Earth-based healing arts rooted in the unbroken 3,000-year lineages taught by don Oscar Miro-Quesada.

Wisdom of My Journey

Through my shamanic journey, I continue to learn, make mistakes, and grow. The challenges I face are met with grace because I am supported by the profound wisdom of my mentors and Spirit Team. I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I remain open to the lessons that unfold along the way.

With deepest reverence, I honor the boundlessly loving God and Goddess, the Most High Source Creator, who offers unconditional love and sends the Holy Spirit as a guide.

This journey is a continuous unfolding, and I am grateful for the support I receive as I navigate this path with humility and trust.
