Sanctuary Ceremony & Community

May | Planting Seeds & Tending the Garden

We open the year at Beltane — the Celtic fire festival of fertility, creativity, and new beginnings. We'll work with the wisdom of the land, plant our visions for the year ahead, and reconnect with the seen and unseen forces that support us. What are you ready to grow?

June | Ceremonies for Children & Rites of Passage

Our children are sacred. This month we explore how to bring ceremony into family life — rites of passage, how to hold space for the young ones on the path, and how planting seeds in our children plants seeds in the future.

Also, get ready for a special Chanupa ceremony with our beloved Seer, and Medicine man, Aztekoyotl.

July | Love & the Family

This is the heart of the relational field — our most intimate bonds. Sacred unions, protecting our partnerships, our families, and understanding how our attachment patterns show up in the people we love most. Expect energy clearings, healing transmissions, and real talk about love.

August | Festival of Light · Lammas

The first harvest. We pause to receive what we've grown, offer our gratitude, and let the plant spirits sing through us. Icaros, teachings, and a moment to appreciate how far we've come.

September | Autumn Equinox · Finding Stillness in Busyness

The world speeds up in autumn. As practitioners, our work is about finding your still point in the busyness — and learning the tools for conflict resolution that actually work, rooted in shamanic wisdom tradition.

October | Samhain · Into the Darkness

The veil is thin. The ancestors are close. Samhain is one of the most powerful times of the year to do deep work — shadow, transition, and the parts of ourselves we've been avoiding. Plus a special Ask a Curandero/a Q&A — bring your questions.

November | Ancestral Clearing

Before we go into winter, we clear what we've been carrying. Guided ancestral soul retrieval, lineage healing, and a Chanupa blessing ceremony with our beloved Aztekoyotl. This one goes deep.

December | Winter Solstice · Christ Consciousness

The longest night. We gather in the dark to welcome the light back — working with Christ Consciousness, integration, and the medicine of what this year has shown us.

January | Silence, Listening & Dreaming

Deep winter is not the time to hustle. It's the time to listen. This month we go inward — mystery school teachings, dreamwork, and learning how to receive the visions that want to come through you.

February | Sacred Sexuality · Imbolc

The light is returning and so is the body. Imbolc is the Celtic festival of the quickening — when life stirs beneath the surface. This month we explore sacred sexuality through the lens of wisdom traditions: the spiritual and physical protocols that honour your divinity and your partnerships.

March | Spring Equinox · Sacred Masculine & Feminine

Equal light, equal dark. The equinox is the perfect moment to work with the sacred masculine and feminine — not as fixed roles, but as living forces within each of us and within all our relationships. This teaching threads through everything we do in the relational field.

April | Vision & Intention Setting

We've dreamed in January. Now we get specific. April is about moving from vision into action — asking yourself honestly: what seeds am I being called to plant this year?

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.

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.

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, 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.

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.

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.

When are the live calls?
Our community gathers on the 1st & 3rd Thursday of each month. You’ll join us for a 1.5 to 2-hour live call.. You’ll receive a full year’s schedule and email reminders before each circle. Be sure to join the Signal group & introduce yourself.

Occasionally we will adjust the zoom call to be a day before or after to accommodate Athena's retreat schedule.
