FRIENDS & COLLABORATORS
We believe that meaningful work is never undertaken alone, but flourishes through the cultivation of community, collaboration, and shared purpose.
Over the years, our paths have intertwined with remarkable individuals, practitioners, teachers, and communities across different parts of the world. Through these encounters, inspiring collaborations, enduring friendships, and relationships of mutual learning and support have taken root.
A Healing Bridge is one thread within a much larger tapestry of relationships, lineages, traditions, and shared commitments with fellow practitioners devoted to serving the Mystery and contributing to a more beautiful world. This page is an expression of our gratitude for these meaningful connections, as well as an invitation to discover the people, organizations, and communities whose work we deeply respect, honor, and wish to uplift.
Fellow Practitioners
Throughout our years of study and practice, we have had the privilege of meeting and collaborating with practitioners whose integrity, depth of experience, and devotion we deeply appreciate.
Here, we share a small and carefully chosen collection of colleagues and fellow practitioners whose offerings we wholeheartedly recommend. Each brings their own unique gifts, perspectives, and ways of serving, and we are delighted to connect you to their work.
ECSTATIC MYSTICISM // AWE
GLOBAL OUTREACH
AWE is a not-for-profit organization that, for over twenty years, has been weaving knowledge, heart, and sacred practice through its relationships with mystically oriented communities and their ancestral territories in Mexico, Ecuador, and Gabon. One of its branches is Ecstatic Mysticism, a Mystery School that welcomes new cohorts of students each year into an immersive journey of spiritual exploration, initiatory learning, and embodied practice.
We are deeply honored to carry aspects of this lineage into our own ceremonial work as practitioners and space holders, having graduated from AWE's three-year Psychedelic Therapy Training (PTT) Program in 2024. We hold immense gratitude for the teachings, wisdom, and transmissions we have received through the school, and especially for our spiritual teacher, Lila Vega, who has opened many doors for us along this path.
Our relationship with AWE and Ecstatic Mysticism has also extended beyond our own training and apprenticeship, through years of involvement in the school's programs, community, and organizational life.
Alyona served as the Program Director of Ecstatic Mysticism from 2022 to 2025, contributing as a core team member to the creative development, organization, and stewardship of the school. She also served as a co-facilitator of the school's online Sexuality & Eros pathway, supporting students in their exploration of these intimate and transformative dimensions of human experience.
Alexandre has been involved in AWE's sacred activism initiatives, particularly those dedicated to preserving ancestral knowledge and living mystical traditions within the A’i Cofan indigenous community in Ecuador. He currently serves on the school's admissions team, supporting the assessment and selection of applicants for incoming cohorts and has also co-facilitated the online Death pathway, supporting students in their exploration of their own mortality.
We remain deeply grateful for our connection to this community, the relationships and teachings that have shaped us, and the ways in which this lineage continues to inform and enrich our work in the world.

Chakana wasi
Iris Colantoni
Sacred Valley, Peru
As a humble student of the Andean Wisdom path and in lifelong relationship with the Plant Teacher Huachuma (San Pedro), Iris holds ceremonial spaces that are safe, grounded, and deeply welcoming. Her work with the Medicine is rooted in reverence, integrity, and sacred reciprocity. Each ceremony is a co-creation with the land, the Ancestors, and Spirit — an invitation into stillness, heart-centered presence, and renewed connection with nature.
We are blessed to call Iris a dear friend and local community member, here in the neighboring villages of Arin, Huaran, and Charan — where we all live. Our friendship has been forged over the past few years, which began after our dog companions serendipitously became best friends. We have had the great gift of being in ceremony together with Iris, within different contexts, and we have great admiration for her embodiment of integrity and abiding devotion to walking her path.
