Receiving the Taytanchis rites, the creator rites from the Quero Shaman at Sacsayhuaman, Peru

About Shamanism

After numerous shamanic initiations, including three near-death experiences and being hit by lightning, Jessica began an intensive eight-year shamanic initiation with the last living descendants of the Inca, the Q’ero shamans of Peru.

During this time, Jessica carefully mapped her emotional landscape. The artist travelled many paths—some challenging, some easy—and discovered places of heartfelt wonder.

Shamanism inspired Jessica’s philosophy, the “Art of Self-Reflection: Peace Medicine”, a creative process that cultivates inner peace and outer beauty.

Today, “Peace Medicine” defines Jessica’s way of life. The artist has learned to appreciate beauty, to follow its lead, and to witness its rhythm in all things. Jessica believes creativity is inherent to being human and is a divine expression of individuality.

Consider one of the offerings below to embark on an intrepid adventure with the artist and shaman.

Shamanic Healing

Shamanic healing is a transformative journey that connects us with the deepest parts of ourselves. Shamanic techniques reveal unseen realms of existence and establish harmony with nature, spirit, and our essence.

In a one-to-one session, Jessica will guide you into past experiences to address present challenges. A shamanic healing session can include illumination, fluid and solid energy extraction, soul retrieval, communicating with those who have passed, transition rites, and energy transmissions gifted by the Q’ero shaman of Peru. This deep healing work can often lead to transformative results, with some clients finding resolution after just one session while others opt for a more in-depth journey. Each client's needs are unique, and Jessica is adept at responding to the individual.

Healing Bio

Jessica is a trauma-informed body and energy worker. She studied Shamanism for eight years with Chris Waters at Spirit of the Inca, where she now teaches and mentors. She is a qualified TRE (trauma release exercise) provider and trained with Steve Haines, where she assisted in the teaching program.

Jessica worked as a nanny for many years, where she learned that a baby’s nervous system can quickly become dysregulated. She noticed how trauma begins in childhood and is often carried into adolescence and adulthood. Untreated, life decisions can be governed by trauma. Jessica has learnt it is never too late to work with children, either at the time of wounding or many years later, with inner child work.

Mini Medicine Wheel

This is my Mesa which holds 13 stones, my medicine stones

The Medicine Wheel is a journey of initiation and transformation, passed down from the Q’ero shaman of Peru. After vigorous training with Spirit of the Inca, Jessica & Wendy Sullivan have created a Mini Medicine Wheel, centred around the creation of a Mesa - a collection of 13 stones held in a sacred cloth.

During the course, each sacred stone transforms our wounds and reveals our true essence, gifts and potential. The Mesa serves as a personal altar, providing a space for peace, beauty and self-mastery.

Jessica’s inaugural Mini Medicine Wheel begins in April 2025 and spans 10 months, with three residential days held four times a year.

The exchange for the Mini Medicine Wheel (including teaching and full board) is £2571.20

Ceremonies

Ceremonies transport us from the everyday into the magical world of the mythic. The communal happenings commemorate times of change, such as starting a new job, moving to a new home or getting married. Ceremonies offer a way to let go of the past, embrace new possibilities, and foster a sense of connection.

Fire Ceremony

A fire ceremony occupies the heart of the Q’ero teachings. In this ritual, we come together to build a fire, sing the fire song, and create a sacred space. The ceremony centres around the release of old stories which are rapidly transformed by the fire. We draw strength from the fire and gain new perspectives in the process.

Despacho

A despacho is traditionally performed as a living prayer of gratitude. The festivity involves creating a bundle of combustible ingredients on the land or paper. This practice is commonly used by shamans in Peru and is a powerful way to restore balance (ayni) and connect with the natural world.

Making a despacho is a spiritual expression of wonder, beauty and innocence.

The exchange for Ceremonies is dependent on the nature of the event.

Space Clearing

Space clearing is shamanic healing for buildings. Like bodies, buildings absorb and hold energy, which is felt when entering a space. If a home is disturbed, we can experience distressing and disconcerting feelings.

A space clearing restores harmony to our homes, workspaces and land. The process can take up to a few days to complete, depending on the size of the building.

The exchange for Space Clearing is tailored to the space.

In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: when did you stop dancing? when did you stop singing? when did you stop being enchanted by stories? when did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence
