The Collaborative
Rooted in Service. United in Love.
At Ahavah Gardens Spiritual Sanctuary, we believe healing is nurtured through authentic relationships and compassionate community. Our collaborative is made up of dedicated practitioners, peer recovery coaches, holistic wellness professionals, ceremonial facilitators, educators, and community stewards who each bring their unique gifts in service to others.
Inspired by the spirit of Seva (selfless service), Kōkua (compassionate support), and the wisdom of traditional healing lineages, we work together with a shared commitment to creating spaces where every individual feels welcomed, respected, and supported on their journey.
While our backgrounds, trainings, and lived experiences are diverse, we are united by one common purpose:
To cultivate safe, heart-centered spaces where Love is the greatest medicine.
Sacred Ceremonial Guides
Honoring the traditions of curanderismo and indigenous ceremonial practices, these facilitators serve with reverence, humility, and a commitment to preparation, safety, and integration.
Andria Lynn
My greatest calling is creating spaces where people can remember who they truly are.
As the founder of Ahavah Gardens Spiritual Sanctuary and EDENOLOGY Holistic Wellness, I have devoted my life to exploring the interconnectedness of recovery, nutrition, holistic wellness, spirituality, and community. I believe healing is not about becoming someone new, it is about remembering the wisdom that has always lived within us.
My work is rooted in the philosophy of Earth, Seed, & Soul Medicine, honoring the many pathways that support whole-person healing. Through nutrition, energy work, mindfulness, ceremonial practices, and holistic education, I help individuals explore the deeper roots of emotional, physical, and spiritual imbalance while cultivating sustainable practices that support lifelong well-being.
One concept that has deeply influenced my journey is panema—an indigenous understanding of trapped emotional and spiritual heaviness that can disconnect us from our natural vitality. Whether through recovery support, holistic wellness, or sacred ceremony, my intention is to help people release what no longer serves them and reconnect with their innate capacity for healing, purpose, and love.
I believe some of life's greatest medicine is found in simple acts of nourishment, sharing a meal, cultivating community, walking with nature, sitting in stillness, or being truly witnessed by another human being. It is my privilege to walk alongside others as they discover their own unique path toward wholeness.
One Source. One Love. Many Paths Home.
Keauna
From an early age, I felt most at home with my feet on the Earth and my heart immersed in nature. Growing up in Colorado nurtured a deep reverence for the natural world, inspiring a lifelong journey of exploring the wisdom of plants, energy, and traditional healing practices.
As Co-Founder of Ahavah Gardens Spiritual Sanctuary and EDENOLOGY Holistic Wellness, I am passionate about helping cultivate spaces where people feel safe to reconnect with themselves, the Earth, and their own innate capacity to heal. I believe some of our greatest teachers are found in nature, in community, and in the quiet moments when we choose to listen.
My work weaves together herbalism, Reiki, Kambo, and holistic wellness education with a deep respect for indigenous traditions and lifelong learning. In addition to facilitating sacred ceremonies, I have had the privilege of developing practitioner training materials, including our Kambo Practitioner Training and Reiki Level II curriculum, supporting the growth of future practitioners who share a commitment to integrity, compassion, and service.
My vision is to help cultivate communities where sustainability, wellness, and meaningful human connection are part of everyday life—where people care for one another, honor the Earth, and remember that healing is not something we achieve alone, but something we nurture together.
It is an honor to walk alongside others with humility, curiosity, and an open heart, trusting that every step toward healing brings us closer to who we have always been.
Benny
My journey with psychedelics began when I was a young man with LSD, which opened my eyes to a world of magic and deeper understanding. Over the years, I explored various psychedelics and studied the works of pioneers like Terrence McKenna and Tim Leary as well as the teachings of Ram Das and Alan Watts. I have also faced personal challenges with substance dependencies. After a period of sobriety and self-improvement through yoga and mindfulness, I reintroduced psychedelics with intention, starting with psilocybin to address deeper traumas. The legalization of these substances in Colorado further empowered my exploration, including my safe extraction of DMT after extensive research. Now, I am dedicated to helping others navigate and integrate their psychedelic experiences, ensuring they do so safely and meaningfully.
“Where Love is the greatest sacrament, and every act of service becomes a prayer.”
Jen
Jen’s path into holistic wellness was shaped by one of the most profound chapters of her life. For eight years, she walked beside her husband through his journey with cancer, learning the quiet strength of presence, compassion, and deep listening. His passing six years ago opened a deeper understanding of how the body, heart, and spirit move through change, and it became the foundation of her work today. At Edenology, Jen brings a grounded, intuitive approach to healing through modalities such as Reiki, singing bowl sound work, and the ceremonial serving of Rapeh and Sananga. She creates a steady, welcoming space where clients feel safe to reconnect with their own resilience and inner wisdom. People often find themselves trusting her quickly, drawn to her warm, approachable energy and the light, loving way she holds space. Jen carries a quiet joyfulness that softens even the heaviest moments, along with a subtle, soulful spark that gently reminds others of the light that still lives inside them. Beyond her healing work, she feels most at home in nature—wandering the red rock paths of Garden of the Gods, riding her e‑bike along the trails that weave through Old Colorado City and downtown Colorado Springs. She cherishes slow, quiet mornings with coffee and meditation, moments that reconnect her to the stillness and joy that guide her practice.
Bianca
Growing up in Arizona, Bianca developed a deep appreciation for the healing power of nature and the wisdom found in the natural world.
As a Kambo Peptide Therapy Practitioner, Bianca believes healing is not about becoming someone else, it’s about coming home to yourself. She supports people in releasing what no longer belongs to them, whether that’s physical toxins, emotional burdens, limiting beliefs, or energetic weight they’ve been carrying for years.
Our bodies hold incredible wisdom, and when we create space by letting go of what no longer serves us, we reconnect with our natural vitality, intuition, and inner peace. Her intention is to hold a safe, compassionate space where you can peel back the layers and remember who you truly are.
Nicole
Nicole serves the Las Vegas, Nevada community with a heart devoted to healing, recovery, and compassionate service. As the founder of multiple sober and transitional living organizations, she has spent years creating supportive spaces where individuals can rebuild their lives, find connection, and rediscover hope.
After first sitting with Bufo in 2024, Nicole immediately recognized it as the medicine she was called to steward. She knew from that very first experience that one day she would serve this sacred path and felt a deep inner knowing that her training would unfold through Ahavah Gardens. With over two years of deep study and practice with the medicine, in May 2026, she completed her Bufo Practitioner Training and now holds space with humility, presence, and profound respect for the medicine and those who choose to sit with it.
Nicole believes healing is not about becoming someone new, it is about remembering who we have always been beneath the pain, and that every person deserves to be seen, supported, and loved as they find their way home to themselves.
Lightworker
Known affectionately as “Lightworker,” Will is a gentle soul with a deep passion for helping others navigate healing, growth, and personal transformation. With a background in social work and a profound love for nature, he brings a grounded, compassionate presence to every person he serves.
After his first Bufo experience, Will immediately knew he was being called to steward the medicine. In January 2026, he completed the Essence of Remembrance Bufo Practitioner Training with Ahavah Gardens and has since dedicated himself to holding space with humility, authenticity, and reverence.
Lightworker believes healing is a journey of remembering. Beneath every layer of trauma, fear, and conditioning lies the light of our true nature, and he considers it a sacred honor to walk alongside others as they reconnect with the wisdom, wholeness, and love that has always existed within them.
Seva
Selfless Service & Compassionate Care
Inspired by the Sanskrit tradition of Seva, this role embodies the practice of serving others with humility, compassion, and an open heart. Our Sevas help care for our community, support the flow of our gatherings, and create a welcoming environment where every person feels seen, supported, and valued. They serve as a bridge between our guests, Kōkua, and Sacred Ceremonial Guides, helping ensure each experience unfolds with presence, kindness, and care.

In her youth her survival skills & imagination ran wild as she was constantly immersed in the unforgiving yet playful setting of nature. Equipped with the skills of rafting, hunting, camping, and sustainable living, Emily’s deeply engrained appreciation of the Earth has led her down the path of holistic healing.

Leena
Ceremonial Chef & Kitchen Alchemist
With the grace of a woodland fae and the wisdom of a medicine woman in bloom, Leena nourishes from the inside out. The younger sister of Curandera Keauna, Leena has been a lifelong advocate for wholesome, earth grown foods, packing her own vibrant snacks as a child and gently schooling her friends on the magic of eating clean, even at sleepovers.
Now, she brings that same devotion and sparkle into our ceremonial spaces, weaving love, light, and intention into every dish she creates. Deeply educated in the nuances of the Ayahuasca Dieta, Leena curates meals that honor the body, respect the medicine, and elevate the soul.
Her presence in the kitchen is nothing short of enchanting. Food becomes prayer, and nourishment becomes ceremony. We are endlessly grateful for her radiant spirit, intuitive creativity, and the medicine she delivers with every sacred spoonful.
