Shimshai & Susana have been facilitating countless healing ceremonies from the altars of Peru, Colombia, Mexico, Australia & Europe, to the sacred traditional grounds of California and the USA, including more than 48 years of combined work with Mestizo traditions of Peru and Colombia, the Mexica traditions of Indigenous Mexico, and the Kogi and Arhuaco nations of Indigenous Colombia with direct guidance and support from teachers and spiritual leaders in each tradition.
They are the owners of La Ventana Herbals and create conscious ceremonial herbal medicines. They are custodians of the Vision quest and the Moondance ceremony in California from the Ollintlahuimetztli lineage.
Shimshai and Susana teach in their own retreat center, ‘La Ventana’ and other retreat centers around the world. Their gentle guidance is a prayer inspired by their deep connection to the spiritual world, Mother Earth, and their heart. They are married and reside with their children between Southern Oregon and Mt Shasta, CA where they hold their retreat programs throughout the year.
