MY TRAINING

I am a Shamanic Practitioner and Tarot Reader, trained in the Shamanic Arts of Healing, the Hermetic Sciences and the Magical Arts.

My journey into Shamanism began over a decade ago with travels to Peru, Brazil and more recently Ecuador. I have trained with Shamans and Medicine Carriers from indigenous traditions of the Andes and the Amazon, receiving initiations and gaining experience in Sacred Ceremony, Plant-Spirit Medicine and Light-Energy Healing.

Returning from my first trip to Peru, after a life-changing experience and spiritual awakening, I began training in the Art of Shamanic Practices, under the guidance of Yachak Itzhak Beery. Longing to maintain my connection with the Andes and the Amazon while living in New York City, I trained with him for a number of years, specializing in Shamanic Journeying and Soul Retrieval. On a more recent travel through Ecuador, reconnecting with Taita Itzhak as my dear friend, guide and teacher, I received his training in La Limpia; an ancient ceremony of energetic and spiritual cleansing, healing, purification and renewal, practiced by the Yachak (Birdmen and Birdwomen), Shamans and Healers of the Ecuadorian Andes.

I am a trained Paqo - Mesa Carrier - in the Rainbow (Seven Rays) Lineage of Chinchero, Peru. I received my training and initiation into the lineage from Andean Medicine Carrier, Puma Fredy Quispe Singona, and was blessed by his generous heart and clarity of wisdom. I work with my Medicine Bundle, calling upon my Spirit Allies, to facilitate light-energy healing of the physical, emotional and psychological bodies, restoring balance and harmony through ceremonial practices and rituals.

I am an Initiate of the Western Mystery Tradition in the lineage of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, my training comprising of the four Hermetic Sciences of Astrology, Theurgy (High Magic), Alchemy and Tarot. I practice Ritual Magic aligned with the Hermetic Qabalah and I read Tarot, my most-loved medium for divination. I continue to train and study under the guidance of my revered mentor, Naha Armády, while walking my Path of Magic.

I am a student of Dzogchen, often referred to as the highest practice of Tibetan meditation - the direct path to realization of the nature of mind - and am initiated into the lineage of Tsoknyi Rinpoche, a true living master who offers his teachings of Dharma as blessings to the world.

I am also a regular practitioner of Intuitive Vinyasa Yoga guided by instinctual expressions of the Solar & Lunar channels within my Physical Temple and Subtle Bodies. I honor the training and direction I have received from Schuyler Grant, a modern-day yogic master, who instructed me in establishing unwavering foundations to my yoga practice.
