Women's Talking Stick Circle Ceremony and Brunch
This is a local Austin circle of women who meet monthly to share. We start with sharing informally over a delicious brunch (provided). We then move into a more formal circle. Here we use the tradition of the talking stick, a practice where each person has time to speak without interruption or cross talk while the rest of us practice giving the gift of listening and presence. Following the shares we do led spiritual practices to center, ground, and move through any blocks presented earlier in the circle. We also do collective work, addressing global issues and how to create support energetically for those in need. This is women returning to the inner circle and keeping the flame. In a time of chaos and crazy it is important for women to gather, ground, and support each other!
This circle is by invitation, so please come get to know us! Join our classes, become an established client or a regular mentee... or come meet our ayllu (tribe) through someone who knows you, have them introduce you!
Dates are all on Sundays (mostly the third Sunday):
- January 19, February 16, March 16, April 6, May 18, June 8, July 20, August 17, September 21, October 19, November 2, December 7.
Time: 12:30 pm-3:30 pm CT
Cost: Your first sit with the Circle is free!. After that the price of a single Circle sitting is $55. Alternatively you can purchase a 3 month membership for $150 or a 6 month membership for $300.

Personal Despacho Ceremony
A despacho, or Haywarisqa, ceremony is based on the Q'ero Indian tradition of building of a prayer bundle to give thanks for what has yet to manifest bringing participants into alignment with their personal intent, or if in a group, the group intent. It is filled with flowers and treats, offerings of gratitude to the Earth and the Stars for hearing our prayers so that balance is restored. These ceremonies can be woven into any rite of passage. It opens paths to new beginnings of any sort (such as births, of any type, and weddings), shifts stagnant situations (perhaps a house is not selling or a relationship has stalled) and puts closure to things that have come to an end (breakups and deaths of any sort). Traditionally they are offered for three things: 1. As a request, 2. In payment for something (as a gratitude offering), 3. To make amends. Instead of a healing you can request to do a despacho ceremony, but you must establish this when you sign up so we have the preparations in hand upon your arrival.
Cost: To come in for a personal one: $250.
Prices for your group despacho ceremonies depend on the scope of the ceremony. Done in Austin area only.
Please contact us for details.
Deep Healing Ceremonies and Wellness Sessions: The Path Of Remembering
Sometimes, if we have suffered from trauma that is hard to release, or even remember, we need to go deeper than a 90 minute healing session to get to the bottom of things. This is a very high end offering at ASC available to our established clients only. Spend a day going deep using any number of various shamanic tactics to get in, re-member, and reshape your interior landscape. Connect with your soul essence for a reset. And then integrate. If you are interested in this path you will want to start your journey with at least one, if not several, 90 minute healing sessions (you can sign up on that page by clicking the link). We need to establish rapport and get know each other a bit before we dive in at this level!
"Thank you so much for all of this Christina. It is the greatest gift of my life, and the most compassionate and loving thing I've ever experienced. I am forever grateful. Truly.
Carol Ann Britain, Yoga Teacher, Paq'o, Austin, Tx.
Despacho Ceremony
When we are at a crossroads in our lives sometimes we need to do a small despacho ceremony to make the shift. Our intellect may be there but we still feel bound to where we have been... thoughts alone just isn't going to make it happen... Let's sit together and talk about the shifts you want to make in your life, about the transition you are in, or the forgiveness you need to make, or ask for. Then we can create a prayer bundle, or despacho, together for you to take home and do ceremony with. You can then burn it, bury it, or offer it to the waters. Full instructions included.
A despacho can be done for:
- A request (you are wanting something specific to happen in your life)
- In payment for something (as a gratitude offering or give back)
- To make amends (as a way of "making it right")
This is a 90 min process, done in person only: $250
Personal Healing Sessions
Personal Healing
Energetic and soul-level healing to clear blocks, rewire beliefs, and restore inner coherence
In the modern West, we’re taught to identify as minds and bodies — but in indigenous traditions, it's the soul that shapes our experience. When we carry unresolved trauma or long-buried pain, that energy condenses in the body and psyche. It becomes emotional triggers, unconscious sabotage, relationship dysfunction, even chronic illness.
At ASC, we use a neuromystical approach to healing — rooted in shamanic traditions, neuroscience, and energetic precision. These sessions help locate and clear to the root of what’s stuck, often a place long before a story or memory can name it.
What Happens in a Session
Every session is a deep, immersive process tailored to what’s alive in you that day. A typical 90-minute session generally includes:
- 40 minutes of dialogue: listening to your story, exploring patterns and blocks
- 40 minutes of healing: energetic tracking, breathwork, emotional processing, soul retrieval, and recalibration
- 10 minutes of reframing: integration guidance and a take-home healing map
Because this work unfolds in layers, most clients begin with a short series of 1–3 sessions. Deeper conditions or life-long patterns may call for extended support. All sessions are conducted with sensitivity to your readiness and pacing.
How It Works
We begin by listening — to your words, your energy, your soul. Then we track where your system is holding onto outdated beliefs, emotional pain, or energetic entanglement. Using a blend of:
- Somatic and breath-based state shifts
- Andean energetic clearing, regressions, and tuning
- Soul retrieval and trauma repatterning
- Inner child integration and relationship healing
We move you out of survival states and into deeper truth and wholeness. The result is not just insight — but transformation that lasts.
“One session cleared what I hadn’t been able to access in 15 years of therapy.”
— Client testimonial, Austin, TX
Is This For You?
This work may help if you’re experiencing:
- Emotional triggers, intrusive thoughts, or negative self-talk
- Patterns of scarcity, sabotage, or “bad luck” that won’t shift
- Trouble healing from illness or injury with no clear cause
- Intimacy, attachment, or relational trauma issues
- Feeling disconnected from your calling or sense of self
- Psychedelic experiences you’ve struggled to integrate
- A sense that “something is missing” but you can’t name what
We meet your system exactly where it is — gently, precisely, and powerfully.
Remote or In-Person Sessions
Sessions are equally effective in person (Southwest Austin TX) or via Zoom or FaceTime, because your soul and energy body are not bound by space or time. What matters is that you're in a quiet, safe space where you can fully show up.
Session Details
Virtual (Zoom/FaceTime): $200
In-Person (Austin): $250
Session Length: ~90 minutes
Scheduling: Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 1:00, 3:00, or 5:00 pm CT
Payment via Credit Card, PayPal, Venmo, or cash. Remote session payments due before session starts. In person paid in person.
The fee reflects the healer’s time and skill. The work of Spirit is always free.
Booking a Session
We want to engage with you personally! Please use the form below to inquire about current openings. Once scheduled, you’ll receive full instructions on how to prepare for your session.
Ready to Go Deeper?
For some, a single session opens the door. For others, true transformation comes through a more sustained, layered process.
If you’re ready to invest more deeply in yourself — emotionally, energetically, and financially — I offer a multi-phase series designed to help you break longstanding patterns, integrate expanded states of consciousness, and repattern your life from the soul up:

Personal Spiritual Mentoring and Integration
Personal Spiritual Mentoring and Integration work is for you to dig in deeper with your Andean teachings and practices one on one and for integrating your spiritual and psychedelic journeys, Many of us struggle with things that surface from the unconscious in plant medicine ceremonies, breath work sessions or just in our meditations and dreams. This is a place to unpack all of that verbally and see where to go with deepening our self understanding. We will chat and consider what is happening in the context of your spiritual growth. What is your soul trying to communicate to you through your visions and through these resources? What came up in your plant medicine ceremony or your psychedelic therapy that you have not been able to fully resolve? Let's jump in and see what is there and how we can move it through! We can do these as 60 min zoom sessions or as 90 min sessions either on zoom or in person.
For healing and energetic interventions please see the Healing section.
Pricing:
- 60 min zoom: $150 for a single session
- 3 month membership (meeting once a month for 60 mins) $400.
- 90 min zoom: $200
- 90 min in person (southwest Austin) $250

Online Introduction to Andean Mysticism
This is an introductory online class for those interested in learning about the path and energy medicine of the Andean Mystical paqo as taught at ASC.
The Full training, Andean Mysticism: Awakening The Seed of Self Training (ATS) starts shortly after this introductory course, within a week or two. This Introductory class is not a prerequisite for the full training, but you may want to clear your calendar for the full training, in advance, if you are considering taking it.
The Intro class:
The traditional Andean paq’os, or “shamans” live high in the mountains of Peru.They have a set of teachings, practices, and initiations unique to their environment, and an exemplary level of love and respect for one another that has served as a means of survival in these harsh conditions. Their whole world view or "Cosmovision" is based upon them. Often described as mystical in nature because they interact with the energetics of Creation directly, they focus on honing our everyday consciousness and refining our personal power to interact with these energies with the highest level of efficacy. They are truly Masters of the energetic realm.
The path of the Andean paq’o is a distinct form of “shamanism” that asks us to stay grounded and embrace our humanity, to see it as an instrument, not something to escape from or endure. Our job is to refine and hone these gifts, and to work with the personal limitations we put on ourselves, keeping us from that. We come equipped with everything we need to engage with the creative force effectively. The more aware we are of how we limit this and give out power away, the more effortless and more dynamic our exchanges become. Again, this class is an introductory exploration of these traditional teachings. It stands on its own as a sampler, or you can use it as a leaping point into the deeper teachings of the full Andean Mysticism Training, and all subsequent classes based on it, at ASC.
Content includes:
- Learn the basic energy medicine principles of the Andean paq'o (the Quechua word for shaman or priest).
- Learn about your energetic anatomy, as taught in this tradition.
- Learn how to engage the energetic world around you.
- Learn about how to refine your 3 human powers and your paq'o capacities
- Learn about the misha (or mesa)
- Step onto the path of honing your personal integrity, a profound journey to self mastery.
This sampler class is a basic introduction into the complex world and teachings of the Andean Cosmovision, as they have been passed down through oral tradition since before the Inka Empire.
- You can use these tools and this perspective to enhance your every day life.
- It is a good basic introduction to the basics of the energetic Mystical Shamanism as taught at ASC. Get to know us!
- This is also a good primer for the more advanced Andean Mystical Paqo Path training series, if you have no experience with the tradition.
Spend a day dipping your feet in the water and familiarizing yourself with the basics. See if this is a path for you!
This is a single day, three and a half hour zoom class with a small break in the middle. Please clear your schedule so you can be completely present the entire time. These are sacred teachings. Please sign up when you can devote your entire time and attention to being in the class.

Online Andean Mysticism: Awakening the Seed of Self
Online Andean Mysticism: Awakening the Seed of Self
The Transformational Path of Andean Energy Practice and Self Mastery
Formerly offered as the Andean Foundation Training (AFT)
A Mystical Medicine Path from the High Andes of Peru
This is a two-month online intensive course of sacred teachings and transformational energy practices from the Andean paqos of Peru. These are not the plant-based traditions of the jungle, but a refined lineage of energy mastery rooted in direct communion with the mountains, the sky, and the earth.
Passed down through two ancient Inka lineages — and lovingly translated through decades of study, practice, and healing — this path introduces you to the Andean cosmovision and invites you into a living, breathing relationship with the world around you. Through energetic initiations, self-development practices, energetic exercises, and a powerful framework for perceiving energy, you’ll step onto a path of deep inner transformation and core self remembrance.
These teachings are sacred and time-honored — refined over centuries by master paqos of the Andes. But they were never meant to sit on a shelf like an esoteric textbook. They were meant to be lived.
In this course, you’ll receive the wisdom in its full integrity in a form you can hold, taste, and use. Think of it as the difference between reading a classic French cookbook in gilt hardback… and diving into the dog-eared, handwritten one with sauce stains on the pages. The recipes are the same but we want to experience them, not just read about them. This training is not about memorizing or even performance — it’s about diving in, it's about transformation.
And unlike many popular programs that weave diverse global traditions together into a generalized or commercialized “shamanic” package, this course stays true to the source. What you’ll receive here is undiluted and rooted in two Andean lineages — taught in a way that honors its full depth while translating it for your modern life. It’s practical, profound, and not a pastiche.
Why Online? Why This Way?
We get it — the idea of spending your weekend on Zoom may not sound appealing at first. But this isn’t a lecture series or a webinar you tune into passively. This is a highly experiential, embodied training where you’ll be actively engaged, practicing energy work in real time with partners and the group.
You’ll receive live energetic transmissions — and yes, they absolutely work at a distance. Energy is non-local, and intention is the conduit. Just as a phone call can carry a loved one’s voice across the globe, these teachings come through with just as much presence and potency online.
In fact, students consistently report that the energy is tangible, the connections are real, and the shifts they experience are profound — often more powerful than what they’ve felt in person elsewhere.
And there are real advantages to this format:
- You can join from anywhere — no travel, no lodging, no stress
- The course is more affordable and accessible
- You get to integrate the work in your actual life, right where you are
- You’re instantly part of an international community of committed, like-hearted people
All you need is a private space, a stable connection, and a willingness to show up fully.
What You’ll Gain
- A deep understanding of the Andean cosmovision — how they see the world, and how that worldview offers healing and reconnection
- Over 30 powerful energy practices, each one building upon the last, creating a deep internal shift
- Practices for self healing and clearing relationship discordance
- Initiations into two authentic Inka lineages and into the Fourth Level of paqo consciousness
- Profound energetic tools for personal resilience, clarity, and power
- A grounded understanding of how to perceive, track, and shift energy within yourself and others
- Connection to a global community of fellow practitioners and misha (medicine bundle) carriers
- Access to a tradition that supports healing, inner alignment, personal power and integrity, and true self-remembering
Course Structure: The Threefold Path
Weekend 1 & 2 – Paña: The Mystical Path
Teachings of Don Benito Qoriwaman of the Huascar Lineage
The path of wisdom and perception. You’ll receive foundational teachings on the Andean cosmovision, explore the external energetic world, develop energetic awareness, receive powerful initiations, align with nature beings, and begin building your personal misha (medicine bundle).
Weekend 3 – Chaupi: The Integrative Path
Teachings of Don Andreas Espinoza of the inkari Lineage
The path of Munay, or unconditional love. Agape. You’ll deepen into the energetics of relationship and self-worth. Learn to work with the main energy centers or ñawis to tune energy frequency, receive the Bands of Power (as a rewiring of your ñawis into a cohesive energetic system for perception), and gain tools for increasing the clarity in your exchanges with others.
Weekend 4 – Lloq’e: The Magical Path
Teachings of Don Melchor Desa of the Huascar Lineage
The path of action, embodiment, and refined personal power. Learn advanced energetic practices for transforming yourself from the inside out. This is the path of llank’ay — extending the reach of your personal power, and stepping into your gifts to become someone of true energetic effect.
Why Take This Path?
Everyone carries an Inka Seed beneath their heart — the seed of Self. This training is an invitation to awaken that seed, cultivate it, and learn to express it fully in the world.
You do not need to be a healer or want to become a paqo to benefit from this work. This course is for anyone seeking deeper personal development, stronger boundaries, core energy practices, energetic clarity, and tools to navigate a changing world with grace. Whether you are a parent, therapist, leader, artist, lawyer, executive or simply on a path of self-mastery — this training will meet you where you are.

Student Praise
“"Who would have thought internet conference technologies developed for traditional corporate business would become the backbone for new innovative platforms for delivering high quality non-traditional education. Christina's Andean Mysticism Program is a good case in point. Classes are easy to access regardless of where you are in the world ... Hong Kong, LA, London or Maui or a small ranch in the backwaters of NE Texas. What you give up in the in-person educational experiences you more than make up in convenience, cost, and quality of instruction. Christina's Andean Mysticism Foundation Program gets a Five Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating. Extraordinary program with lots of energy work woven into the instruction. For me, the best program I have ever participated in within the field commonly referred to as 'shamanic teachings'. This is a truer teaching comparatively, the Lamborghini of Andean indigenous teachings.”
