About the facilitator

Lourdez Olanda is a nationally recognized workshop and retreat leader specializing in ceremonies and sacred rituals. She possesses deep knowledge of sacred plants as well as shamanic traditions from around the world. Lourdez has been offering healing retreats in the mainland USA, Hawaii, Europe, and Mexico for over a decade.

A deep understanding of the sacred flows through Lourdez’s ancestral lineage. Her most recent predecessor was her grandmother, a healer in the village where Lourdez grew up. From her grandmother, Lourdez learned reverence and respect for traditional plant-based remedies. She has studied several healing modalities, including Energy Healing (Reiki), Psychology, Hypnotherapy, Ayurveda, and therapeutic bodywork across North America, South America, and Asia. Additionally, she has traveled to the Amazon to study directly under elders and shamans in the Peruvian and Bolivian rainforests and sacred mountains, and she has observed and studied the shamans in Mongolia for their rituals and shamanic practices.

Lourdez’s intuition has been refined through many years of spiritual practice aimed at cultivating and strengthening her connection to the sacred. As a retreat leader, she weaves together all the threads of her training, intuition, and experiences, guiding others through healing, spiritual quests, and sacred rituals.

Lourdez creates a welcoming and safe space where participants feel uplifted and deeply supported on their own individual quests for healing and direct spiritual perception.
