About Your Host: Genesa

The Journey Home

When I first met this master plant teacher, also known as “grandmother medicine,” my life was forever changed.

All of the patterns, habits, and beliefs imprisoning me in a chamber of self-doubt, fear, depression, and unworthiness were brought to the surface to be cleared.

Since that first sit, I have worked with this medicine many times, continuing to go deeper into myself.

What has ultimately emerged is a clearer understanding of my own interconnection with all of life.

The teaching that has weaved it’s way through my experience has been about coming into right relationship with all of life.

For me that has meant coming into right relationship with substances and the addictive patterns that were harming my body, mind and soul.

It has also meant coming into right relationship with my body and it’s eternal wisdom so that I can make choices from a place of clear discernment, knowing my truth.

From there, I have been able to not just understand, but feel my relationship with the medicines of the earth, the people on this planet, and my place in the cosmos so that I can weave my gifts into the world.

My wish is that you get to experience the beauty, the wisdom, and the power of your true nature interconnected to all that is so that you can see your unique piece of the puzzle that is of paramount importance within all of humanity.

Your gifts are sacred. Your magic is powerful. Your beauty is unique and your wisdom is needed.

Genesa is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Hakomi Therapist, and Certified Medicine Leadership Facilitator.

Her journey with the plants has helped her to move through suffering and experience the embodiment and creative aliveness that exists in us all. She is inspired to support people with the preparation and integration of sacred earth medicines so that they can live their fullest creative expression out in the world. She deeply knows that the world needs each person’s unique medicine.

The Support Team

Sarkis Love

Breathwork Facilitator, Group Lead

The basis of all transformational processes is PRESENCE.

My approach to helping people is simple: Guide them back to their own present-moment, felt-sense experience through engaged inquiry (also known as Mindfulness).

I believe in a Holistic, non-violent approach where experience is explored with curiosity and open-ended discovery. When we are allowed to discover the truth of our experience for ourselves, the natural result is empowered agency; we are back in the driver’s seat of our life.

When nothing is forced, and there is nowhere to get to, the discovery of who we are in this moment tends to be experienced as a great Freedom, Joy, and Aliveness. Yes, we may have goals, desires, or plans for ourselves, and those plans are always experienced as unfolding in the Eternal Now (Presence), so that is always the starting point.

Jason Dolly

Lead Chef, Director of Nourishment

From the beginning, I had a vision of bringing more connection to the food I was cooking. Realizing that food is not only an amazing way to nourish and heal the body but increasingly it has become a political statement.

As my awareness has grown around the agricultural industry and the health warnings involved in their farming practices, I’ve been inspired to bring education and awareness through the act of sharing my food.

I now specifically work with locally sourced, nutrient-dense ingredients and get to create delicious meals from scratch as a way of bringing health and healing from the inside out. I know personally, the connection that our eating habits have on our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
