Jaya Loba
I am honored to offer my services as a guide for those called to explore consciousness. Decades of study and training in ceremony, psychology and mystical traditions have led me to a holistic approach rooted in the guidance of nature and wisdom of the body. Bridging ancient and emergent shamanic technologies with somatic, ecotherapeutic and transpersonal modalities in a crystalline container, we open a space for transformation.
I am committed to ongoing training and education that supports me to deepen my offering, within a network of accountability to elders in earth-based traditions and mentors in integral therapies. I have been a practitioner in the Santo Daime—a syncretic Amazonian lineage—for decades, and a lead musician in thousands of ceremonies. My devotion to somatic practices has convinced me of the centrality of the body in healing and spiritual work.
Integrating initiatory work with contemplative, creative and embodiment practices helps us nurture a felt connection with the sacred that expands our possibilities for healing and awakening. When we do this work of reconnection—with ourselves, with nature, and with community—we invoke our innate capacity for authentic belonging, conscious relationship, and a life that is vibrant with meaning.
