Tatchi

I am a ceremonialist, psychedelic educator, writer, yoga practitioner, and singer of medicine songs. My holistic approach to healing and transformation is rooted in the guidance of nature and wisdom of the body.

I’m midway through a PhD in Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies, advancing studies in Eastern, Western and indigenous therapeutic and mystical traditions. I have been a practitioner in the Santo Daime—a syncretic lineage from the Brazilian Amazon—since 1999, and a lead musician in thousands of ceremonies.

My work is guided by nonhierarchical, inclusive, and trauma-informed perspectives. I welcome individuals who seek a deeper connection with their soul and a more authentic expression of their innermost truth, who do not feel at home in the dominant paradigm, and who are called to a spiritual path outside conventional religious structures.
