Wendy Luckey was born in Minot, North Dakota into a family with mixed cultural diversity. From an early age, she had to learn how to navigate in these different worlds during a time when this was not supported in community or culture. Throughout her life, she has experienced intense interactions with spirits and the natural world. From an early age, she felt a calling to the path of healing and a deep connection with nature. While at university studying the biological sciences and mathematics, she became disillusioned with higher Western education and some of the perceptions of modern medicine. She refocused her lifelong quest for truth and healing by pursing experiential studies with wisdom keepers in both indigenous and spiritual traditions. While pursuing a professional career, she studied with wisdom keepers from Native American, African, Celtic, and Peruvian traditions. During this time, she studied the Western Mystery Traditions in a mystical order, culminating in supervising students living in North America, Europe and Australia. In 1992, she refocused on her full attention on her personal work to deepen her knowledge, experiences and ongoing research in healing and spiritual growth. Along the way, through direct experience, she learned many modalities for healing and transformational work in her own journey toward healing. The wisdom she gained along with the tools and practices she learned has allowed her to help many people in their own transformational process to improve their lives. In 1998, synchronicity tossed her into the Peruvian Amazon rainforest to work with a famous shaman, don Augustine Rivas, at his jungle camp near Tamshiyacu, Peru. In her first experiences with plant medicines, she was profoundly changed by direct encounters with spirit doctors and plant spirits, the higher energetic selves of the plants, including the legendary ayahuasqua, vine of the soul. There, she found a deep expression of her lifelong calling. As a result of these life transforming experiences deep in the amazon, she committed to doing whatever it took to completely transform her life to fulfill her life purpose and mission. She returned to Peru as often as possible for more intensive inner healing. Some of those that she has been blessed by studying with in the amazonian traditions, include Maria Christina Mendoza Vidal of Peru, Angel Buenaventura of Columbia, and more recently a banco in the Amazon. In 2002, synchronicity brought her to the mountains of Peru where she began studying the healing and mystical traditions of the Q'uero and Andean culture. Her life has been deeply enriched by experiences studying with maestros don Theo Paredes, Rubin Orelani, Puma Quispe, and others, whose teachings have helped her heal and tranform her life into one of beauty and harmony. On a medicine road, one honors and learns from a variety of elders and guides that one encounters along the path and the learning and service continue life long. Spirit has brought many wisdom keepers into her life, including many considered by many to be masters of their craft by their people as well as others locally and globally. She is eternally grateful for all of these elders and their willingness to share their medicine ways with her and others. In 2004, she began training as a practitioner in The Journey program of soul-based healing. The Journey, founded by Brandon Bays, is a life transforming practice of soul based processes that are based on the latest developments in quantum healing and include NLP, Enyeagram, guided inner journeys, and other techniques for rapid integrative healing. After spending over twenty years working in the corporate world pursuing a professional career that culminated in consulting nationally with a focus on writing and education, she left her home in Texas to move to Peru in 2006 to continue research with sacred plant medicines and the Andean mystical and healing traditions. She divides her time between studying plant medicine and healing in the rainforest and studying the traditions of descendants of the Inka in the mountains. During her travels, she speaks about healing, share the medicine, and assists others on their transformational journey. She also serves on the Advisory Board of c3: Center for Conscious Creativity, founded by Kate McCollum and Philip Horvath in Los Angeles, California.
