MEET OUR HEALERS

César A. Lara, M.D.

Shamanic Healing

Dr. Lara is a Shaman and a Medical Doctor. His Journey as a healer began with a distinct recollection as a child “to be of Service”. Over the past 30 years, he has responded to this call through dedication to his medical practices as a Family Doctor and Medical Bariatrician focused on preventive medicine. Wanting to work towards curing the root of diseases rather than disease management, he furthered his exploration of the ancient wisdom healing traditions—Energy Medicine—the way of the Shamans.

Dr. Lara received his Energy Medicine and Shamanic Healing training from Dr. Alberto Villoldo at The Four Winds Society Light Body School in Chile. He received his “Rights” as a Shaman from the Q’ero Incan Shamans, the guardians of the wisdom of the Andes.

Kali (Jennifer)

Yoga, Ayurveda, Cha-do, Sacred Geometry, Peruvian Shamanism, Retreat Host

Since childhood, Jenn has been highly attuned to the subtle realms and deeply connected to nature. Experiencing intuitive visions, receiving messages through dreams and communicating with nature has created trust in the greater intelligence that guides life.
With the super, natural ability to perceive unseen currents and the deeper patterns shaping humanity, she has cultivated a gift for seeing beyond the surface. This intuitive wisdom became one of her greatest strengths, guiding and inspiring students, athletes, and families throughout more than two decades as a public school teacher, administrator, and basketball coach.
Life’s initiations through loss, trauma, shadow work, and working with plant medicines became gateways to deeper wisdom. Through decades of study, the guidance of her teachers, world travels, practice, and inner inquiry, she’s cultivated the ability to alchemize lived experience into embodied knowing, offering guidance and spiritual insight to others.
Utilizing the wisdom traditions of Yoga, Ayurveda, Cha-do, Peruvian Shamanism, Sacred Geometry, and the study of esoteric and spiritual sciences, Jenn creates spaces where presence becomes medicine, and contemplation awakens transformation of the mind.
At the heart of her work is the Sacred Tea Ceremony, where ceremonial-grade, old-growth, living tea is honored as a wise teacher and sacred ally. Each ceremony offers an opportunity to slow down, awaken the senses, and enter into a more intimate relationship with themselves, nature, and the wisdom carried within the tea. As a sacred plant medicine, tea becomes a bridge between the seen and unseen, cultivating stillness, clarity, and profound inner connection.
Jenn holds grounded, sacred space for self-reflection and personal growth. Her work is subtle yet profound, inviting others to remember who they have always been and to walk with integrity.
She loves sports and athletics, helping animals, spending time in nature, traveling, and studying ancient spiritual teachings. She is currently studying The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Hanuman Chalisa and BioGeometry®
