MESSAGE FROM OUR SPIRITUAL LEADER
“Awakening isn’t what we think and can’t be accomplished through more doing”
Awakening isn't a destination reached through effort or will. It's a profound letting go, a dissolution of the illusory "me." As this false self fades, one realizes their true nature: boundless and interconnected with all that is. In this moment of liberation, free from the chains of desire and need, the magical unfolding of existence reveals itself. This is the real you and has always been you. This is true freedom.

Kala’s journey of awakening began in early 2020 with the realization that there is limitless depth beyond our conditioning… a pulse, a feeling, a deep sense of aliveness that’s accessible through the body.
She encountered the spaciousness of pure awareness, where thoughts dissolve, and sensations come alive—a place of raw embodiment where true liberation begins.
With over three years of experience facilitating, Kala specializes in working with women ready to peel back the layers and awaken their true self. Her approach is rooted in deep presence, embodied awareness, and an unwavering commitment to helping others embody their full aliveness.

Eric’s journey is a testament to resilience, transformation, and the courage to face the darkest parts of oneself. A former USAF Pararescueman and Purple Heart recipient, he lived through the Khobar Towers bombing in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, an event that left scars both seen and unseen. For over two decades, he carried the silent weight of PTSD and survivor’s guilt, navigating life with an ache that words rarely touched. His path took a turn when a close friend and fellow pararescueman, who had overcome addiction through ayahuasca, extended an invitation to try the sacrament himself.
In July 2020, Eric sat with ayahuasca, entering a space he had never dared venture before. Until that night, he had been searching for something he couldn’t name, a connection to a higher power, a source of meaning beyond his earthly wounds. Through the sacred journey, he found himself immersed in a profound realization: we are all divine beings, connected by a source that transcends individual suffering. This experience awakened in him a spiritual clarity he had longed for but never truly believed possible.
His healing came in waves, each journey shedding a layer of the pain and guilt he had carried. Slowly, he found forgiveness for himself and even compassion for those who had once been enemies. Eric’s inner landscape transformed as he shifted from surviving to truly living, with a newfound sense of gratitude for every experience that shaped him.
Now, Eric pours his heart into helping others, especially veterans, find peace and purpose within themselves. His journey embodies the spirit of Inekawa: a commitment to transformation, connection, and the pursuit of healing in its deepest form. Eric’s presence is a light for those seeking their own path to wholeness, guiding them toward inner peace, resilience, and spiritual liberation.

Stacie has always had an awareness and understanding of something more. With the desire to discover her divinity and deepen her connection with GOD, she found good intentions within churches and would become baptized several times but could not deny she longed to have a deeper more personal connection that left her searching on.
In 2020, Stacie sat with Ayahuasca for the first time and her path had opened before her. She discovered that to be fulfilled she would need to dive below the surface to free herself from past traumas and preprogrammed belief systems. With perseverance, Stacie has found true love and gratitude for her sacred journey.
Since then, Stacie has healed her heart and is ready to hand it back to GOD, training and assisting in facilitation of the sacred sacrament of ayahuasca.

Christina’s philosophy centers on the belief that true healing involves embarking on a journey back to the true and higher self we innately know ourselves to be.
With a deep commitment to presence and radical acceptance, she encourages clients to trust the now, fully releasing what "should be," "might be," or "was," to find peace in what is. For Christina, this ongoing practice of acceptance is the essence of healing. She sees her role not as a fixer, but as a mirror, reflecting the extraordinary light and resilience already within each of her clients. Her approach ignites memories of inherent strength and gifts often forgotten, guiding each individual to remember their innate potential.
