Mycelial Transformation and Renewal

In these times of profound decomposition, we are being called to shed old layers and step into a (k)new reality; much like the metamorphosis of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. This sacred journey, guided by the ancient wisdom of the Mazatec and the ndi xhito, offers a space for deep renewal and spiritual resilience. Through powerful rituals such as limpias and other healing practices, you will connect to the ancient teachings that have been passed down through generations, grounding you in integrated connection and authentic clarity. This is more than a ceremonial experience—it is an invitation to align with the deeper layers of the unfolding prophecy of our modern times, to expand your awareness, and to embrace the transmutative power within you as we step into a profound era of healing and interconnectedness with Planet Earth.

Our Mazatec Guardian

Alejandrina Pedro Castañeda is a Mazatec curandera (healer), cultural guardian and elder from Huatla de Jimenez, Oaxaca, Mexico. She works with ndi xhito, the mushrooms as well as doing auratherapies, traditional egg readings and cultural life-way teachings of her people.

The mushrooms teach us how to live in harmony, to remember who we really are.

As we navigate these moments of unraveling, we must listen to the wisdom of Earth, as so many of our ancestors have done before us, and will do long after us as well. We are being asked to recognize that transformation comes not from force, but from harmony and understanding, and that this understanding comes when we open our hearts and minds to the deeper connections we share with the Earth. It takes courage to allow the decomposing structures of the past to nourish the seeds of a new era, where interconnectedness, healing, and truth guide us forward. Are you ready?
