Let's T'ikay! Let's bloom!

A virtual home for healing, art, sisterhood and spiritual connection

My hair is getting gray and my life's purpose is showing its colors. I have lived in 2 countries, 5 cities and around 17 different homes in my whole life. Through the years, I was always inclined to the spiritual world and explored different paths of learning and unlearning. I have a deep respect for the growing community of people who are looking beyond what society shows as 'the best life'; those who want to improve themselves, not just spiritually but also as human beings pursuing a more fair and loving society. I admire those who in their search for purpose or connection with the divinity, understand that there are many paths and visions to find it, and that is wonderful. I recognize all the 'Maestras' and 'Maestros' whose wisdom and kindness help us reflect in our own lives and wisdom and challenges.

I grew up in a poor area of a big city in South America. My parents worked hard to give me and my sister a better life than they could ever have. I am forever grateful. I have lived and worked with and for people from many different backgrounds who have taught me so much, from the parents and children in the Peruvian Andes' schools, to a big US university, from students in a permaculture workshop in the Amazon to a wonderful circle of Reiki and other energy healing practitioners in the Midwest. I always felt like a bridge-person, a connector of two worlds, and this is part of my Tikay's dream, to connect these paths with peace seekers, magic believers, artists, social justice or environmental activists, moms!, Earth children, and soul sisters. In this way, I fulfill my purpose. I keep learning. I belong to this possible society without borders or superficiality.

T'ikay means "Blooming" in Quechua. When you bloom, I bloom. I believe in working together to achieve a goal, instead of competing. So, when I offer a Reiki Session, or facilitate a women's circle or ceremony, we both (all) are benefiting, we both are touched by the healing energy of connection.

And when I design a logo or make a translation for you, I put all my intention to create what you were dreaming of. I am not perfect but I do my best.

I have done many different things in my life that are interconnected: film, radio, graphic art, Reiki, Circles, environmental work, dance, singing, teaching, volunteering, writing, fundraising, etc. All of them have in common a desire to improve this society, inspire to do good, help someone in need, and acknowledging the wisdom and value of wise human beings, cultures or Mother Earth.

New beginning

As I write this first post, I realize that I have not written on a blog in many years. This marks the beginning of something new and I hope that sharing it with you can perhaps help us be a little more us than others want us to be.

Thank you

It is my wish to be able to write once a week here. As many of you know, English is my second language, so words don't come out as easy as in Spanish. Don't pay attention to the errors. They are part of who I am and I am ok with that. I am just happy to communicate from my heart. Thank you for reading.
