My Book – Marcela Lobos

I share a compass to live a remarkable life, not because of material or outer success, but to cultivate presence and courage in the face of personal challenges and societal unrest.

My story, from growing up in a war-torn country to being initiated by the shamans of the Andes and becoming a teacher and a medicine woman, offers you a flesh-and-bones context for each step of the archetypal journey to Self.

Also, by giving you examples about other people crossing the veils from ordinary to extraordinary, I invite you to a new level of openness to perceive the world mystical beyond appearances.
