Adela is a ceremonialist, animist, sahumadora, medicine woman, and guardian of ancient technologies passed down from her elders in the high Andes of Ecuador and in the Chumash territory of the Central coast of California where she’s completed her initiation into the Red Path of the Lakota tradition with her teacher Hua Anwa of Cherokee/Mexica/Mayan blood.

Adela was born and raised in Quito, Ecuador.

At 15 years old her first introduction into the world of holistic and spiritual healing came through the teachings of the master plants Ayahuasca and San Pedro of the Ecuadorian Amazon and the Andes respectively. From then on she nourished and cultivated a relationship with these plant allies.

Adela is a mestizo woman with mixed race heritage. She honors her ancestors of indigenous Ecuadorian blood mixed with Spanish, Portuguese and Basque lineages; this combined ethnicity of polarizing forces (Indigenous pre and post Incaic blood with European colonizers’) gives her an ability to weave and bridge into her offerings different practices: Eastern knowledge with traditional medicine of her own South American lineage.

Adela is the daughter of the Apus -the Sacred Andes mountains- she is a daughter of colonization and resistance and she centers her values by living the two most important principles 0f the Andean cosmovision:

The SUMAQ KAWSAY - El Buen Vivir or The Art of Good Living which promotes the idea that the collective wellbeing of the community is achieved through harmony within nature and with one another, human and more than human.

and

The AYNI - The Art of Sacred Reciprocity

From the five principles that define the Andean way of life: munay (love, benevolence, loving-kindness), yachay (to know and to remember, abiding wisdom found in ancient memories), llankay (honest labor, to be of service, personal power through self dicipline), kawsay (the life force, everything which is connected through a web of energy), and ayni (reciprocity). Among them, ayni is regarded as the most important principle, as it provides the backbone of life. It is the exchange of energy between humans, nature, and the universe; by reciprocating all the good that comes to you from from others, from nature, the ancestors, and all the elemental forces, then the cycle gets completed. Ayni guides the four principles.

Eighteen years ago Adela arrived to the Tongva territory, stolen lans we know today as Los Angeles, California to work in the entertainment business. With a degree in Film Studies and her great affinity and love for the visual arts, she thrived for many years producing photo shoots for motion pictures and for several musicians and artists.

After the birth of her daughters, Mia and Lily, she recognized the call of her land and welcomed the responsibility to deepen her relationship with the Earth Medicines pivoting towards the world of holistic healing and slowly designing what the next chapter of her life would look like.

Adela’s path and dharma is rooted in her lineage, she is deeply grateful for India and the teachings of Ayurveda and its sisters sciences of Yoga and Vedic Astrology, which became bridges to celebrate her indigenous roots and return to the Cosmovision of her original land.

She feels immense gratitude and deep humility to serve as protector and guardian of the sacred technologies of the abuelos and abuelas of the Andes and the Amazon. Her reciprocity and life’s duty is to create ceremony and ritual, based on animistic practices, mentoring one on one, and holding spaces for deep transformation and remembrance.
