JAGUAR CIRCLE SLOW MEDICINE
MARCH 2025 - SEPTEMBER 2026
THE CORE OF INDIGENOUS TEACHINGS
ALL MY RELATIONS.
From an indigenous perspective this is a call to deep stewardship of ALL connections with ALL beings on this planet, not only our human relations.
The call to care and stewarding is not just about “doing” finite actions, but also a culture of being in deep respect, reciprocity, and accepting that we are one part of creation that is no greater or lesser.
It asks us to walk a road of EARTH GUARDIANSHIP from the perspective of indigenous integration and oneness with environment, versus a road of saviorship from a western separatist and individualist perspective.
WHERE DO WE BEGIN?
WE MUST JOURNEY SLOWLY, TOGETHER.
THE JOURNEY
Where all things begin and end
WELCOME TO THE GENTLE WALK OF DEEP RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MEDICINE WHEEL, AND THE TEACHINGS OF THE FOUR DIRECTIONS.
The cardinal directions are central to almost all indigenous teachings. One cannot truly start to understand an indigenous way of life without knowing and living in connection to the BEINGS and wisdom of each direction.
THESE ARE NOT JUST DIRECTIONS ON A MAP.
Each direction has an intelligence, and contains its own cosmovision and environment.
WE WILL APPROACH EACH DIRECTION AS A FRAMEWORK TO BUILD SACRED RELATIONSHIPS.
Learning this will help you to access and receive the support of different directional medicines to assist your evolution, your spiritual practice, and your daily life in ways that are both practical and esoteric / expansive. Building this foundation of sacred relationship is the first step of walking the way of an earth guardian.
BY SLOWING THINGS DOWN…
…we will take the time to ask, receive, integrate and practice how to build Sacred Relationships with the other kingdoms that inhabit this planet, A global community, and also with yourself.

About
YOUR TEACHER:
ONE WHO CATCHES LIGHTNING AND KEEPER OF THE THUNDER STONE
Lineage Holder | Medicine Carrier | Land Tender | Cacao Maker
Writer | Teacher
I am here to be a bridge walker, carrying the wisdom of multiple indigenous lineages, and weaving them together with an understanding of modern, rapidly changing contexts, to support a grounded, radical path of healing for individuals and the collective.
I am a formally trained fine artist and filmmaker, a singer-songwriter who has released multiple albums, a published poet, a motivational speaker, metaphysical healer with training in multiple modalities, a guide and mentor to people of all ages and backgrounds, a teacher with years of unique original curriculum, and of course always a student, learner and seeker.
WE WILL PRACTICE SACRED RELATING
HUMANS ARE BEST ABLE TO EVOLVE OUR SPIRITS BY LEARNING FROM THE KINGDOMS OF THE NATURAL WORLD, AS WE WALK ON OUR PATHS OF AWAKENING.
Humanity has strayed too deeply into separation and exceptionalism.
We are seeing the consequences of this in our environment and within ourselves.
ANIMALS, PLANTS, ROCKS…THEY ARE NOT JUST THINGS THAT WE USE.
Although many people desire indigenous practices, we often enter spiritual circles carrying a model of extractive or transactional relationships.
STRONG SPIRITUAL ALLIANCE REQUIRES MUTUALITY AND CULTURAL MATURITY.
Alliances are beings. That we listen to. That we can learn from. That deserve our RESPECT.
It is a FOUNDATIONAL aspect of indigenous spiritual practice (from many different woven traditions) to develop a RESPECTFUL, CONSENSUAL, and RECIPROCAL relationship with all the elements of nature.
This initial 18 month program of Building Sacred Relationships will support you in changing how you are in relationship with the non-human kingdoms that we coexist with on this planet.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
LIVE CIRCLES
SPRING EQUINOX CIRCLE : MARCH 22nd Intro ceremony : 10 AM Hawai’i
PROGRAM DATES: April 2025- SEPTEMBER 2026. ZOOM Classes 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month
CLASS DETAILS: A minimum of 2 circles are held every month for the first 12 months, and will be recorded for those who cannot attend LIVE. After that we will meet 1x every month for the remaining 6 months for workshops on how to build a medicine wheel, rattles, and more.
You have access to 2 Moon Circles monthly via ZOOM throughout the program. We highly recommended you join LIVE if possible, but they are also recorded.
MEDICINE WHEEL : We will begin all seasons with a teaching session LIVE where we will go over the kingdoms that create each CARDINAL direction and learn who we will be building sacred relationships with over the next 3 months
MAYAN CALENDAR : Finding your Nagual is one of the many steps of how to connect to Mesoamerican cosmology. This insight much like "astrology" allows you to find your makeup in this world. Did you know modern human design is based on indigenous cosmology?! We will approach your design as one in relation to the all not from a singular western perspective.
MOON CIRCLES: These live sessions will meet on each Full and New Moon, and include a platica (teaching), a uniquely themed meditation to support you in the unique energy of the specific moon, and a sharing/witnessing circle.
BUILDING SACRED RELATIONSHIP WORKSHOPS : These will be opportunities to connect deeper and work on projects. You will build Taponi's, create altars, create directional biospheres and more. Part of the journey will be to find your own materials. A list will be provided, as well as some direction when it comes to sourcing the plant medicine for this circle (we will be using cacao & atolli from Cuatro Manos Y Cinco Volcanes Farms and fern medicine is available via Path of IX). (SATURDAY, USA)
SACRED TOOL MAKING: You will learn how to go on a sacred walk to collect the makings of your tools, you will learn the protocol as you gather, harvest, and make in sacred ways.
SIGNAL GROUP CHAT : Get extra support and build community between classes.
+THIS CIRCLE CAN BE TAKEN CONCURRENT WITH (LEVEL 2) MEDICINE JOURNEY

BONUS: CACAO + FERN + SOUND w ceremonial boxes free ($628)
As always a % of all proceeds from classes go back to the community of teachers and elders who have supported and taught me, and to working with the land in a good way.

Why do I need to apply TO CERTAIN LEVELS, why aren't applications free?Traditionally can take 3-5 years to find and be accepted by a teacher. The cost of this can be $$$$ yes that right. it includes gifting of things, time, travel and energy. We think the nominal fee of $25 is generous for the time our mentors spend with you through this process. Lastly, the journey to find your teacher is as important as learning from them, so enjoy the steps and may they bring you closer to freedom.
