Meet The Team
Stormie
Ceremony Leader
Stormy's spiritual journey began in childhood, sparked by a book on earth magic that opened her eyes to the mysteries of nature and the unseen world. From that point on, she pursued a deep exploration of esoteric philosophies, that connected her to the rhythms of the earth and the cosmos. In 2018, she first sat with ayahuasca, a transformative experience that shaped her path. In 2021, after around 40 ceremonies, she became the assistant to our previous Ayahuasquero, supporting participants while leading workshops designed to help others align with nature’s cycles. in 2024, after helping in over 100 ceremonies, she traveled to Peru where she began her training to serve the medicine, something she will continue to do for the rest of her life, where she was Donned by Don Enrique of the shipibo tribe. We are excited to now have her has our ceremony leader

Integration Specialist
We half jokingly refer to Kate as “The angel who hovers above us all.” This title originated as comment from one of our guests. It’s pretty accurate so we’ve been saying it ever since. Kate has a sweet, soothing demeanor which comforts everyone around her. Kate runs zoom calls every week for anyone who has ever sat with us to work through and process whatever is coming up for them. Her angelic nature is also evident when she sings in ceremony, often with her husband, Dale, creating heavenly music at our retreats.

Chef/Musician
Dale is the man who brings us sustenance! Seen here with his wife, Kate, he is the kitchen wiz who makes magical Dieta friendly food at all of our retreats. He is also a guitar teacher who brings his musical mastery to ceremony. He often plays guitar instrumentals, or along with someone singing during ceremony. Dale speaks in poetic lyricism in all of our groups and is deeply loved in the community.

Assistant Event Coordinator
Teddy can be found at all of our retreats overseeing every detail to ensure guests have a good experience outside of ceremony. If you ask one of our staff members where something is, or when something is, they will probably ask Teddy. Additionally, he provides a strong, stable, grounding presence in ceremony, and is regularly thanked by guests for the feeling of comfort he brings.
Volunteers
While Teddy, Kate and Dale are the core of the team, we have other volunteers who rotate and help out as their schedule allows. Each of them bring their own unique magic to retreats, and each is loved by our community.
