AYAHUASCA RETREAT | OCT 2 - 7, 2024

You're not meant to do it alone.

This year’s focus for Sanctuary is going to be centered on the shamanic and spiritual teachings on making great relationships.

So many of us are great at having mystical experiences but struggle big-time when it comes to the relational field.

And guess what? It’s not our fault.

We have been orphaned from the wisdom of the ancestors on how to tend to the relational field.

If you have struggled in intimate relationships, dating, or friendships — or maybe you’re great at this but just want some solid tools to help you on your path — 

This is for you!

This container is being held by three beautiful, powerful medicine couples, and there’s some real lived experience, stories, and wisdom to draw from.

If you’re not interested in tending to your relational and community field, please unsubscribe from Sanctuary.

I received very firm instructions from my guides to bring the ceremonial perspective into our homes and communities.

And I’m so stoked and would love you with us!

Navigating the Relational Field through ...

Conflict resolution (which means how to have uncomfortable conversations

Ceremony for couples and marriages

Working with children in ceremony

How to protect sacred unions

What to do and what not to do

ATHENA NAIA | MEDICINE WOMAN

Athena, born in Greece and enriched by her diverse heritage as a South African-Venezuelan, is a profoundly skilled and authentic teacher of plant medicine. With over 18 years of experience in indigenous ceremonial practices from both North and South America, her formal apprenticeship was with the Shipibo Mahua lineage in the Peruvian Amazon. 


Athena channels a cosmic grandmother in her ceremonies, offering an incredibly potent yet gentle transmission of the plant spirits, and the divine mother. Her ceremonies are incredibly safe, nurturing, unique in their authenticity, and infused with many lineages of divine support—an experience that remains rare in the realm of plant medicine work.

ZOE OSANNA | MEDICINE WOMAN

The name Zoë in ancient Greek means “Life. When you meet her, you will feel her love and gratitude for life through her laughter and presence and find her well-named. 

A graduate of the Rhodes Wellness College and Ryerson University, Zoë carries with her a passion for developing children and youth to their highest purpose. She strives to live a life of conscious communication, compassion, and creativity. 

Zoë is deeply involved with indigenous communities in Turtle Island in North and South America. She is a writer, entrepreneur, and a fabulous cook.

ADAM WILDER | CURANDERO + ORDAINED MONK

Blessed by Athena to serve as a Curandero as well as being ordained as a Zen monk in the Light Lineage of the Buddha, Adam carries two interwoven wisdom streams that shape his unique way of serving others. His work braids plant medicine and Zen into a living, luminous path that some have come to call “Zen-ahuasca.” 

 His devotion moves through everything he offers: his Icaros, his guided meditations, and the healing energies that work through him. People often describe feeling inspired to deepen their own practices just by being in his presence.

JASON DORNBUSH | CURANDERO

Jason, an energy healer and shamanic herbalist, embodies the spirit of plants with his rooted and lifelong connection to the plant world. Since 2010, he's worked extensively with ayahuasca, cultivating and preparing it in Hawaii on his family’s property. Specializing in tailor-made shamanic medicines, he addresses emotional, physical, and spiritual needs, aiming to deepen individuals' connection to the Earth. Known for his incredible humor, heyoka spirit, and nurturing presence in ceremony, Jason strengthens the container, by holding the masculine while allowing the feminine to lead. A gifted curandero, and devotee to plant wisdom.

AZTEKOYOTL | MEXIKA HEALER

A traditional Mexika healer, Aztekoyotl began dancing in utero and has been integrated into the path of spirit ever since. Of P’urhépecha and Hñähñu decent, Aztekoyotl was born in the Tenochtitlan, the ancient Aztek city, where he developed his love for sacred symbolism, Mexika culture, and Aztek dance.

A Sundancer, Pipe Carrier, and Lodge Keeper, when he’s not dancing, Aztekoyotl lives in Teotihuacán, Mexico with his young family, where they walk a shared path full of love and joy. Upon meeting Aztekoyotl you will be struck by his contagious smile and his welcoming presence.

OLIVIA WILDER | DEPTH COACH + ROSE LINEAGE

Think of her as a wilderness guide for the psyche. Trained as a therapist and shaped by years of her own trauma recovery and thirteen years of medicine-path initiations, Olivia holds a field where the unseen becomes felt, and the inner terrain becomes navigable. 

 As a devotee of the divine mother and the rose path, her work is rooted in seeing incarnation as a sacred experience designed to open our hearts through the gateways of embodiment, impermanence and intimacy with life and each other. 

 Olivia works with individuals and couples to gently dissolve limiting patterns, supporting spiritual growth, trauma recovery, psychedelic integration and the deep work of meeting our lives with greater compassion and love.

"Eveniet quam natus et commodi minus consequuntur enim iure magnam nam fugit voluptas."

Samantha
CEO / Founder

"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."

Stephen
Participant

"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."

Tahtianna
Participant

"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."
