Women Facilitators

Our facilitators draw from diverse backgrounds and are grounded in decades of accumulated experience holding space for others. Celina, Kathe and Jess are mothers to eight children respectively and Kathe is a grandmother of four kids. They bring both a deep sense of collective care and professional expertise in working with the unique needs of women.

Celina is the founder and director of Circle of Sacred Nature Church. She has guided thousands of people from all over the world through ceremonial experiences since 2010. Her training as a facilitator draws upon over 20 years of experience with Amazonian plant medicine and a foundation in yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda. As an apprentice of Taita Juan Agreda Chindoy, leader of the Kamentsa indigenous people of Colombia, her ceremonial practice is grounded in a traditional lineage. She is also a Stanford grad, a Fulbright scholar, has a Masters in Divinity from the Graduate Theological Union, and has received professional training in spiritual care through the art of chaplaincy.

Jess draws on more than 15 years of experience in yoga, insight meditation, sustainable living and farming, nutrition, herbalism, birth work, functional medicine, and counseling psychology. Her inspiration and joy come from gardening, homesteading, cooking, weaving, healing with song, and Mothering in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
