Connect to the Source - Ecuador Immersion

Mama Rosa is a Medicine woman, midwife, and wisdom keeper of indigenous roots in the Cayambi culture of Ecuador. She is a well known and respected elder across Ecuador and shares her wisdom with local and international patients and students, in person and now across zoom. She and her son Johny maintain and share the ancient traditions of the Cayambi people and are very excited to share these traditions with our group during the retreat.

Wisdom keepers, like Mama Rosa is now, learned and passed the knowledge of such wisdom as cleansing with guinea pigs, removal of bad energies, attraction of good energies and the use of medicinal plants to prevent and cure various diseases and ailments. Today she has 35 years of experience exercising all these activities of healing and midwifery, and she has passed this knowledge down to Jhony who helps expertly share this wisdom in ways accessible to younger generations!

Marni is an international spiritual and personal development guide, motivational speaker, energy worker, and mystical teacher who has dedicated her life to traveling the world and igniting consciousness through self realization and cultural immersion and exchange. While traveling through Ecuador, she was found by Mama Rosa and invited to live with, be initiated by, and learn from Mama Rosa and her lineage. Marni is thrilled to help get Mama Rosa’s teachings out to a larger audience, so that people can experience the magic she was able to experience from her time in Ecuador. 

Previously a management consultant at the largest global consulting firm, Marni switched gears to fully devote herself to a more "esoteric path” after experiencing burn out. She traveled the world studying mysticism and wisdom teachings with leaders across their practices and has been privileged to teach what she’s learned to thousands of students across the world. 

Marni is passionate about supporting people in the spiritual and corporate worlds to find peace, balance, and purpose. Marni helps keep the energy fields of high impact conscious leaders clean and clear so they can continue shifting the paradigm. And she teaches others to do the same.
