About the Teacher
Why study with them?
A lifelong truth seeker, Taylor found a deep internal understanding of the spiritual realm when experimenting with psychedelics at an early age. From there, she was on a quest to explore religions and spiritual teachings that felt resonate with what she already knew through experience. Taylor first discovered the Andean shamanic traditions and stepped intentionally on the medicine path when she was living and volunteering in Cusco, Peru in 2015. It was there that Mother Ayahuasca first found her, and she received guidance from Pachamama to serve as guardian of the earth by working for the environmental organization Greenpeace. The medicines have been guiding her way ever since.
Within one very challenging year and a half, Taylor experienced a devastating breakup, lost her home, her dream job, her stepmom and her mother. The grief of so much loss pulled her into a deep depression and manifested as physical illness in the form of chronic kidney stones. From the darkness, Taylor was called back to medicines and once again started receiving guidance from the spirit realms. Through yoga, meditation, nutrition, micro-dosing psilocybin and applying her spiritual principles, Taylor found her way back to the light. She began working with a light-worker, understanding her spiritual gifts and healed herself of her kidney stones through a self-guided intentional mushroom ceremony. It was then that she heard the call to serve these medicines and help more people find this same level of healing and empowerment through Pachamama’s sacred gifts.
Having sat in ceremony with a wide variety of plant teachers from various shamanic traditions in Peru, Costa Rica and Mexico, Taylor has learned the traditional ways of preparing and serving these medicines with great reverence, respect and sacred reciprocity. She has training and experience serving Kambo, Ayahuasca, Niños Santos, Huachuma, and Bufo both individually and in group ceremonies. She’s a certified yoga teacher and reiki practitioner, with extensive studies of metaphysics, social psychology, and a wide variety of spiritual traditions and mystery teachings.
After years of study and apprenticeship, Taylor is now initiated as a Pampamesayoq, also known as an "Earth Healer" in the Q'ero lineage of Peru. The Q'ero people are regarded as the guardians of the wisdom of the Andes and served as the high priests and spiritual advisors of the great Incan empire. They used their spiritual gifts to evade Spanish conquest and lived in isolation in the Andes mountains until their "discovery" in 1949. Therefore, they have been able continue practicing and preserving their sacred wisdom traditions without interruption. In 1996, the spirits of their ancestors informed the Q'ero that it was time to share their wisdom with the western cultures of North America in order to fulfill the prophecy of The Eagle and The Condor. This prophecy is believed by many indigenous cultures and states that together, the spiritual wisdom of South America with the knowledge of North America will awaken a consciousness that is balanced in both mind and heart and will restore peace, balance, and unity to the earth.
For over a decade, Taylor was organizing grassroots activism efforts for environmental, social justice and human rights campaigns around the US. Now, in order to fulfill this prophecy, she feels passionately that the path to healing the earth and restoring harmony, begins with humanity healing themselves and restoring our personal connection with nature. She currently serves on the steering committee for Decriminalize Nature, the grassroots movement working to decriminalize sacred plants and fungi for personal use in cities around the world.
