We have a beautiful leadership team of Malka, Ege, Adam, Miriam, Anthony and Rachel. We are excited to introduce everyone!

Malka has been leading these ceremonies for 11  years and trained extensively as a facilitator and was given permission to serve the medicine after doing extensive plant diets with the Yawanawa tribe of Brazil and the Shipibo tribe of Peru.  She is also initiated as a Priestess of Ifa and Osun and after a delicate dance to harmonize both traditions in right relationship, she uses the tools and resources of both her path with Ifa and with  the medicine  to guide her as a facilitator.

Our musician, Egeman Sanli (also known as Ege) is a contemporary dervish who embarks on a journey to find his own unique sound in the world while proudly representing his own unique Turkish heritage.  He skillfully blends various ethnic instruments such as the sitar, caglama, saz, santor, ngoni, flutes, kora and much more.

His musical offerings range from original creations to Vedic mantras; Lakota songs to Hebrew chants, Kirtan music, and beyond. He is grateful to be a part of the effulgent healing web that connects all life on this verdant planet and beyond.
