soluna medicines
Inviting you into connection, ritual, and self-expression
through medicine and art
![you don’t have to worry about medicine carriers who’s practices you don’t agree with. you don’t have to worry about what every other person is doing as they walk this wild road.. believe it or not your path might not be there’s! the plants + animals we bow to might just have more intelligence than you! many elders who have prayed decades for their teachings to reach the masses are celebrating!
[ plus people always tell on themselves🤫]
i know.. it’s scary to watch someone who just drank for the first time 3 months later declare they’re going down to florida to learn to serve from a shaman named Chad. Trust — i too think that’s disturbing.
It’s our egos that want to judge and be righteous and gate keep. what if we don’t have to do any of that? not because we want to spiritually bypass disturbing situations..
but because the path of a medicine carrier (and really all healers paths) is full of trials and initiations — and those who aren’t meant to walk it either will give up, be “canceled” by their community because they’ll break too many people’s trust, AND/OR will live in their own personal hell until they finally smarten up.
early on in the 5 years i’ve walked this path, i was part of circles that left me.. faithless.
and there have been moments were i was busy rushing on my own path.. holding space i wasn’t prepared to hold because i wasn’t educated, honoring a lineage, working with proper teachers, initiated, and/or spiritually well enough — i too have made messes.
i chose and continue to choose to humble myself, take breaks, ask for guidance from peers + elders, and smarten up. i hope that’s what every medicine woman, man, and person who finds themselves in questioning the path does.. because we need more well people doing this work.
there is no scarcity, competition, or lack. we are all making our best efforts to usher in the prophecy of the eagle and the condor (google it!).
unless someone is causing active harm and you have power to speak up and help people stay safe — stay in your lane. trust the Remedies.
something amazing is happening. life is the ceremony. a new earth is being born. heaven is right here. hope to see you there.🤍🐉](https://scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.75761-15/499658360_18094379296602636_2244005914268851579_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=103&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=smyUiIsa1y4Q7kNvwEhuzgP&_nc_oc=Adk5OXmH_73MfydbiJiWKHOTCYuNMMZAgHAu5JBZCccyEO2QEIJC4hVsRBLDbyGVBEM&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=DRsJGHiZh6NJZgrjCAHzxw&oh=00_AfI91twsIk8wt3B8qFWD7CKFie45fQoV45nVINCtJQmbbw&oe=68357CFB)
![from the jungle to CO… meeting new soul fam everywhere i go <3
[[ PST! Elemental Existence Ritual, Art, & Music Mini-Fest is officially 2 weeks away. DM me for a discount code & partial work exchange opportunities ]]
there were times the last 8 years i wrote lists of who i wanted to be and what i wanted my life to look like. meditations, visualizations, ceremonies, therapies…
looking to unleash the person inside me i always knew i was and i truly always have been. the thing about personal and collective trauma is it accumulates on you like dust… covering all the shiney light on your spirit and encouraging you to create defense mechanisms and habits that adapt to the not ideal life circumstances most of us have inherited.
as adults it’s within our freedom to unchain ourselves from the stories and pain. it takes time. it takes community support. it takes looking at the self. for me it took experiencing years of hell on earth while taking radical responsibility for every situation and circumstance i found myself in.. as all my own creation.
that didn’t mean i knew how to get out — awareness will lead the journey but your participation moves it along.
slowly, gently opening … with ayahuasca, kambo, and art as my main guides..
i find myself in love with myself and life. spiritually connected. freedom is mine. the responsibility of being human is mine.
the sun and moon are welcome. all pain — all beauty — and it is all magic.
i wish this for all being. i seek to express these teachings in my mentorship spaces, art rituals, events, and ceremonies i hold. i pray the teachings are able to land in all who step forward to the soluna medicines altar.
no human being on earth is free until we are all free. may it be so.
i’m here to play my part. see you there?
— thanks to my friendo @peterson_skylar for helping me when i was off my rocker in the jungle earlier this month and inviting me to visit this wonderful landscape. good times. i’ll be back ;-)](https://scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.75761-15/497842477_18093736396602636_7504060346135851091_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=105&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=zWH8bVBWJHIQ7kNvwGGd2DU&_nc_oc=AdligFdLjOF7Gl3bAVM2z9A6BT8D-YVhOJ4GKUl_c-EXqpvgl0CE6K3r1rZDsSt2CQE&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=DRsJGHiZh6NJZgrjCAHzxw&oh=00_AfJ2gcgGNhbCYqmIoL0p7I-2E5fg_Zx5_t2XAG2syjwxfg&oe=6835892B)
![Looking forward to returning to the Forest & Village team this year August 1-3 in NH. F&V is an epic womens rite festival full of wisdom and initiatory space to really gather, grieve, honor, and celebrate all the archetypal magic — from maiden, mother, crone, medicine woman ++ — that is being a woman. I loved my time there last year and am honored to be invited back onto the team
For all info see : @theforestandvillage
Rather than supporting the temezcal and healers sanctuary like last summer — I’ll be putting together a collaborative art installation and leading the ancestors shrine space. I am so jazzed to come forward as an artist and open the doorway to intentional ancestral connection ~
My team a— @princesslena.96 @marijean_newly — and I will transform the “faire forest” walking trail into a living weaving project, ancestral prayer, and BIWOC + adoption affinity space.
More details to be shared in the welcome email including how you can be involved in the art creation and the schedule for affinity space!
We have 15 33% off BIPOC ( black indigenous person or color ) tickets available. I have the code! DM me. First come, first serve.
YAYYYYYYY ! Woo !

![This man and I have spent the last two years getting to know eachother and finding our place within eachothers lives. What began as the deepest, most loving, most creative partnership i’ve ever experienced has transitioned into something a kin to family and best friendship. We are committed to knowing eachother and allowing our relationship to find its true resting place.
I’ve never been friends with an “ex” lol but @thesunshinegroup is just so fucking awesome that i’ve searched deep within to find the ability to do this. I thank you, Brand, for your vast, sweet love of me that has allowed space for me to continue to walk life alongside you. You’re the gift that keeps giving.
The video of me as a panda is literally at his set this past weekend. Just messing around and playing together. Because we can 👏🏼👏🏼 He’ll also be performing at Elemental Existence [May 31 - June 1 in Plainfield MA] because we’re a great team and he’s an amazing performer. (discounted tickets available! DM meeee)
We’ve both worked really hard to get radically honest about our romantic compatibility while still honoring the fact that we love eachother, enjoy eachother, and care for eachother in ways neither of us have ever felt before.
What do you do when no one has wronged another? When you both respected and cared for eachother? What do you do when truth reveals itself and it’s not the answer either of you wanted?
Many of you know i’ve got a book of poetry about our relationship in the works. Today I decided to share some of that poetry and mine & Sunshine’s “conscious uncoupling” journey on my podcast lol
I feel like what we’ve been able to do together is radical. With his permission — I am starting to share my poetry and thoughts on this transition.
We’re both feeling vulnerable about this sharing — but that’s the sauce of life amirite? Plus as a ~ public figure ~ I KNOW YALL ARE CURIOUS. Let’s be human. I’m here for it.
Search soluna medicines podcast wherever you listen ;-) Let me know what you think!! I’m dying to know!!

![[written after 8 days in the jungle working with the siona tribe of putumayo🫶]
to be the realest of real, the last 9 or so months of my life — amidst much beauty, abundance, love — have been really confusing, chaotic, and painful.
that’s what happens when finally you say yes to your souls path, which i did last july after 4 full days of private ceremony work with my friends and teachers here in colombia. i said yes to my commitment to learning from the indigenous traditions of yage (aya).. aya invited me forward and i chose the path with my entire heart.
saying yes to a soul led life means you have to say no to many, many temptations and illusions. my heart has broken over these losses 10 times over the past 9 months.
i am here to break down systems of oppression within and without. i am here to walk in integrity, be held accountable, and teach everything i learn.
i am here in the name of love and mystery and earth.
when i committed to breaking down systems of oppression — all the personal structures that held me incorrectly crumbled. i dissolved with them. i no longer live in the house i own, my previous beloved union was laid to rest, i moved, my work has evolved in a way that requires me to change my perception of self and learn new skills daily..
there were moments these past few months where i wasn’t sure how i was ever going to make it out on the other side. i had some dark, self-defeating thoughts.
i knew the entire time that something life changing and positive was happening — so i tried to ride the grief and confusion as best i could as it came to me. i trusted the process with all i have. i trust life and i trust myself.
the only way through is through. i accept myself and life as it comes in every moment.
i was on my knees in prayer often. i cried enough tears to fill a sea. i was in daily ritual trying to whole my insecure attachment wounding, fear of being a working artist, fear of being a medicine carrier, childhood $3xual abuse, and inability to let people get close to me even if i want them close.
