A letter from Ellie

Ellie

Medicine woman · priestess · mother

My name is Ellie — I am a medicine woman, priestess and mother. I live in the mountains of Peru with my partner, Omar, and our three-month-old son, Nilo. They will both be joining us on this upcoming journey in February. Egypt is a place that has gifted me more than I could ever put into words.

A note from Chandra

Chandra

Channeler · bridge · mother

Hi, I'm Chandra. I am a mother to two magical little girls. We live in the beautiful Southern Utah desert.

I'm a channeler and so much more… I like to think of my medicine as a bridge, helping you connect to your higher self and all the magic you hold. I work in deep devotion to the Mother and her plant medicine allies. My medicine lives in my heart and in my songs. My intention on this journey with you is to walk alongside you, to help you activate your gifts and your purpose. To witness you in your fullest expression and in all the magic you are bringing.
