Shamanic Ceremonial Leadership & Plant spirit medicine apprenticeship
The Path of
Soul Power Medicine
Visionaries, Healers, and Devoted Practitioners
Ready to Walk in Service to the Sacred
First in-person retreat September 2026 at Star River Sanctuary
Commitment to your apprenticeship journey is made 1 year at a time.
Ancestral Roots, Future Vision
Rooted in Lineage. Rising with Love.
The Path of Soul Power Medicine
is a lineage-sanctioned apprenticeship
to learn the sacred shamanic arts of ceremonial healing.
This living path is deeply anchored in the ancient ceremonial wisdom of
The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition™: Cross-Cultural Shamanic Arts for Personal and Planetary Renewal,
and offered in devotion to our elders,
our beloved lineage elders don Oscar & Cindy Miro-Quesada,
and all the mesa carriers who have walked before us.
Together, we carry the torch forward – into the hearts of the next generation of medicine stewards –
with reverence, responsibility, and radiant joy.
The Path of Soul Power Medicine – Shamanic Ceremonial Leadership Training is crafted as a soul initiation, not a certification. However through the completion of the three year apprenticeship you have the opportunity to become a sanctioned Plant Spirit Medicine Ceremonialist through The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition Lineage and The Heart of the Healer Shamanic Mystery School.
This Is More Than a Program. This Is a Living Path.
The Path of Soul Power Medicine is an immersive, lineage-honoring ceremonial apprenticeship that spans three sacred years of transformation.
It is equal parts mystery school, mentorship journey, deep personal healing, shamanic initiation, and sacred leadership training—designed for those not just curious, but called.
Whether you walk this path to hold ceremony for others—or to walk more fully in your own embodied sovereignty—this is where you come to remember what you are, why you came, and how to serve the sacred with precision, humility, and love.
What Makes This Different—And Needed Now
This is not about adding another modality to your toolkit.
This is about becoming a connected and trustworthy shamanic leader.
This is more than an educational program.
It is a ceremonial light house.
A revolution of the soul.
A living prayer for the birth of a new kind of medicine carrier — one who is aligned, sovereign, and resourced to serve the healing of our world.
A Truly Global and Revolutionary Soul Family
In our current Plant Spirit Medicine apprenticeship circles, we are blessed to walk heart-centered guides, leaders, and practitioners from all walks of life and from every corner of the Earth — from Norway, Spain, and Korea, to sacred lands across the Americas. This is a truly global soul family, a gathering of luminous beings answering an ancient call.
Three Years. One Path. Infinite Evolution.
The Journey
This ceremonial apprenticeship unfolds over three potent years, each building upon the last—yet commitment is made one year at a time. Each stage is a complete transmission unto itself, honoring your sovereignty, timing, and readiness to continue deeper.

Why Train with
Robin & Darcy
Robin Flynn and Darcy Kopas are ceremonialists, mentors, and protectors of the sacred, carrying over 2,200 ceremonies and decades of cross-cultural apprenticeship.
What makes them different?
Co-FOUNDER & CEREMONIAL Practitioner
Robin Flynn
As a ceremonial practitioner, Robin is bridging ancient cross-cultural shamanic wisdom, transformational art and creativity, quantum healing modalities, and Kamaska curanderismo within the dynamic evolutionary waves of the emergent global psychedelic renaissance. Her syncretic and integral approach empowers each individual to become the shaman of their own healing and awakening journey.
Co-FOUNDER & CEREMONIAL PRACTITIONER
Darcy Kopas
Darcy is an advanced shamanic practitioner who specializes in clearing dense energy, complex shamanic shadow dynamics, distance energy healing, and redefining the role of the healthy integrated masculine.
We have seen and experienced first-hand the incredible light and staggering shadow of the psychedelic and ceremonial realm. From this experience, we have co-created
the “Resource and Empowerment Therapeutic Model of healing”
Which bridges Earth-honoring shamanic wisdom and leading-edge new science. We are also the co-founders of Visionary Hearts and Star River Sanctuary healing center and offers international transformational healing retreats.
With the blessings and sanction of our elders, we are bridging the vast ancient (yet very much alive) wisdom of Andean Paqokuna and Kamaska curanderismo within the dynamic evolutionary waves of the emergent global entheogenic renaissance. This bridge building is a syncretic and integral path which empowers each individual to become the “Shaman” of their own healing journey, through guided, sincere, and authentic practice.
We work in sacred partnership to bring forth these teachings and ceremonies for personal and planetary healing.
