Karen
About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Equal parts soul-filled scientist, inspired educator, nature therapist and entheogen guide, Karen has been restoring landscapes and facilitating transformative experiences in nature for humans for 30 years. Her work as a restoration ecologist has flowed from the fjords of the North Atlantic and across the reefs of the Caribbean sea, through the Peruvian Amazon and up to Costa Rica's cloud forested mountaintops.
Founder of the Center for Sacred Ecology and steward of the 40-acre Samanea Nature Sanctuary in Monteverde, Karen creates spaces where spirit and nature infuse and inform the awakening human heart. Prayer and ceremony sit at the center of her life.
Karen has been working and studying within the Peruvian mestizo vegetalista tradition for 8 years. In addition to regularly serving alongside a highly respected traditional curandero in international circles, she holds space for intimate, intentional and heart-filled circles here at home in Costa Rica.
Karen also coordinates traditional 10-day master plant diet immersions in the Peruvian Amazon and guides wilderness rites of passage and nature therapy experiences in the mountains of Costa Rica.
She has lived in Monteverde for 20 years and is joyfully raising a teenage son.
