Healing Village is a curation of healers offering a range of modalities to help you restore, ground, focus, stretch & grow. During our collective time together on the land, many feel called to turn inward to a more private, quiet space. In this space, womxn can integrate & reflect upon their personal experience in a safe environment while receiving healing support.
We look forward to welcoming you to the healing village as a space for refuge, regeneration, and empowerment at the gathering. We are deeply honored to be of service with utmost integrity, compassion, and respect for the caliber of womxn and work present year to year at the gathering. It is beautiful to witness and facilitate this growth together hand in hand with gratitude, passion, and wild open hearts.
Safiya Randera is an initiated healer and stick diviner in the Dagara tradition, a lineage originally rooted in Burkina Faso, West Africa, and brought to the West by her teacher Elder Malidoma Somé.
Her practice of stick divination is an indigenous, earth-based practice that facilitates powerful healing and alignment through channelled messages and elemental ritual work. Divination in this tradition is considered a method to ‘open the way’ in one’s life. It is a 50,000+-year-old lineage that connects one to the many immediate forms and doorways of the divine.
She is deeply humbled to be carrying Dagara medicine and sharing it with the Spirit Weavers Community through individual and community divinations.
With over two decades of experience, Safiya has studied traditional healing with Elders, wisdom keepers, and guardians of the traditions in North and South America and Africa.
Safiya’s teachings come from the Wedeme (elemental beings of the land), the Kontomblé (beings of the water) and are rooted in ancestral knowledge as well as the teachings of spiritual healers from Rootwork (Mary Shultan), Svikiro (Mandaza Augustine Kandemwa), and Dagara (Malidoma Patrice Somé, Mark Bockely, and his teacher Martine Somé) traditions.
Safiya holds sacred circles, facilitated women’s retreats, and supports others in connecting to the elementals and grounding their ancestral medicine.
Safiya is honoured to be holding space and supporting the Spirit Weavers community in the Healing Village.
Andrea Penagos, L.Ac. is Licensed Acupuncturist, Clinical Herbalist, and Energy Worker with nearly a decade of experience in traditional medicine and integrative healthcare. Andrea is honored to assist Safiya Randera in coordinating this year’s Healing Village at Spirit Weavers, while also offering Energy Healing throughout both Sun and Moon sessions. She steps into this support role with gratitude and a deep sense of respect for the Land and the Takelma People.
Andrea’s energy healing work is informed by her training as a Reiki Master (Maa Gyaan Suveera, Syd Yang) and her studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine and InfiniQi Energy Healing (Ed Sullivan), along with her clinical experience as an acupuncturist and herbalist. Andrea approaches energy healing as a collaborative process between herself, the client, Spirit, and the Land, intuitively guiding the work while becoming a channel for healing to emerge in unexpected ways. She believes health and imbalance both begin in the subtle body, making energy work a gentle yet powerful healing modality, which she combines with guided meditation, acupressure, essential oils, and flower essences.
Andrea was born on Tongva Land (Los Angeles) and is a first-generation Guatemalan-American woman of Mayan and Iberian ancestry. She currently lives on Coast Salish Territory (Victoria, BC, Canada) where she offers online herbal consults and distance energy work sessions, explores the art of botanical dyes, and continuously marvels at the alchemy that occurs between people, plants, and Spirit.
Initiated into the Vedika Parampara (a living Vedic lineage), Zoë has spent many years studying at the feet of her beloved teacher, Acharya Shunyaji of Ayodhya, India. She has been immersed in the Vedic path, studying the interwoven sciences of Ayurveda, Yoga and Advaita Vedanta (non-dual Philosophy) in a living form for the past 15 years. She humbly brings what she has learned and integrated to spirit weavers as an offering for both Sun & Moon sessions.
Zoë lives on the unceded territory of Huchiun, Lisjan (Ohlone) tribal land (Oakland, CA) where she offers in person Ayurvedic Consultations and bodywork at her studio sanctuary MOONGARDEN. She also offers online Ayurvedic Consultation and counseling to clients worldwide.
Kate is a grief worker in the lineage of their keening ancestors, bringing their western education in social systems, therapeutic bodywork, and poetry, together with the ancient healing technologies of Thai massage, ritual theatre, and the ocean. Kate works to offer more safety, center, and pleasure in the body. To tend the thresholds of gender confirmation, pregnancy, postpartum, and death. They move slowly, inviting you to make altars and gardens for that which was lost, taken, violated. Finding and tending the child within. Calling on the memory of the body to lead. Witnessing as healing travels in all directions.
As partners in healing practice, love, and parenting, Kaelirose and Kate delight in the tender, radical process of being human. They offer trauma repair as a prayer toward the safe, equitable, wild, and joyous world that all beings deserve.

Ritmos Sagrados/Sacred Rhythms came through at her altar, gifted to her by the Great Mystery. She asked what name could hold the vibration and intention of her offerings. Throughout our path, from seed, to keiki, to wild woman, to the wise elder ~ we move through many cycles and rhythms. Some of these rhythms may hold trauma, unhealed wounds, unspoken truths, and stagnant energy. When left in the shadows, they deplete our vitality, creativity, and heart’s truest expression, clouding our emotional waters ~ leaving us unable to recognize the abundant blessings of our life upon the earth. We become unable to see or feel our divine essence, our sacred rhythm and our innate magic. Therefore, we are unable to be our purest most divine embodiment of our true selves.
Somatic bodywork is done fully clothed on a massage table. In this modality, we work through the tissues to the Self. Somatic bodywork includes breath patterns, physical touch to support habitual holding patterns in the body, sounds, gestures, and verbal dialogue to support emotional processing. Through somatic bodywork I can support you to awaken more aliveness in your body, heal historical safety contractions, and come into deeper alignment with yourself and what you care about.
My training/background includes: Certified Somatic Coach & Bodyworker (Strozzi Institute), ICF Certified Coach, Strozzi Institute Teacher Training Team, MA in Gender Studies,BS in Communication, Ethnic Studies, and Psychology, 300-hr RYT in vinyasa, restorative yoga, yin yoga, and yoga nidra traditions, Reiki Level 2 practitioner.
