meet evie
Hi, I'm Evie. I am a ceremonialist, intuitive, yoga, meditation and breathwork teacher. In all of my offerings, I orient to love as the true alchemist and ultimate refuge.
I received my masters in clinical mental health from Naropa University in Contemplative Psychotherapy + Buddhist Psychology, and subsequently taught in the program.
For more than a decade I have devoted my life to supporting others to the sacred terrains of: addiction, embodiment, spiritual emergence, expanded states of consciousness, developmental and generational trauma and the general inter-dimensionality of being human
I am honored to continue to serve at the altar of love, to walk alongside people through the portals of their pain to the space and grace that exists on the other side.
I am equally devoted to offering my own work as I am to stewarding others on the path of service so that the medicine we carried into this lifetime can be shared in an integrated, ethical and effective way. The landscape of modern healing is fraught with confusion and immaturity. One does not need to look far to see the harm being caused by this.
Training, mentorship and rites of passage are essential developmental processes into mature, integrated space holding. The path of service is a humbling one and if a practitioner is not willing to take radical responsibility for their inner and outer landscapes, then they are not ready to be a practitioner.

Hi. It is so good to meet you here. I am so honored to walk the path of ancient service in protection of the sacred within and throughout.
I walk within both worlds, in service to the sovereignty of the human spirit and the remembering of our eternal heart.
With bone deep reverence for my ancestors, I am honored to serve on many levels within my ancestral, ceremonial medicine. To arrive here, however, has been a very winding road of death and rebirth, forgetting and remembering, standing tall and falling to my knees, again and again.
Many are called into service on Earth at this time. Many who are called to service have tended this ancient path in many lives.
There is a deep need to support the restoration of sovereignty, trust and reverence to all people, all land, all spirits and all hearts. At the core of service, is the commitment to returning power back to the other and facilitating a spirit-level remembrance.
It is my prayer with this training, that we restore the integrity, ethics and ancient heart to this well walked path of service. May we walk in true beauty and medicine, in all that we do, within our practice and far beyond.
May we remember that life itself is ceremony, and how we walk is our prayer.
