CYNTHIA AMBRIZ
Hello, my name is Cynthia. I am a spiritual therapist/coach, energy sacraments healer, new thought minister, and author. For the last 30 years, I have immersed myself in all things spiritual and metaphysical. I studied at Agape Internation Spiritual Center under Michael Beckwith and with Dr. Sue Morter, Author of The Energy Codes.
​
My journey with plant sacrament began with Mother Divine Ceremony in 2016. I have heeded her call each time she beacons me to return over the years. In 2018, Father Divine Ceremony found me and called me to go to the Sonoran Desert, where I worked with it for the first time. The healings I have experienced over the years through these two sacraments have been nothing short of profound. Now I am grateful to be walking this path of initiate as I continue to deepen my relationship with this healing and the sacraments.
This year, I gave myself permission to begin my Shamanic Training, as it had been calling me for some time. I am excited to be able to study and learn from these individuals as I am immersed in the Q’ero lineage and Andean wisdom.

ERIn SORENSON
Greetings! I have loved working with Sacred Pachamama Paths since 2022. My first experience was a retreat to manage severe trauma symptoms. That experience changed my life and called me to continue a path dedicated to exploring the power of energy shifting. Who we are does not end with our skin. Our life energy contributes to the creative dance representing our individuality. In addition to studying and practicing Reiki, through Sacred Pashamama Paths, I have been initiated into Pratismarati Breathwork and Andean Energy work. This work has provided the spiritual discipline that has become the foundation of my waking life.
I’ve also completed our 9-month shamanic introduction course, “Pathways to Runa,” experiencing first-hand the power of Andean Cosmology and rituals. The Andean Cosmovision challenged me to let go of my normal way of thinking about the world and approach it with the possibility of thinking in a new way… accommodating a new world view rather than trying to make new information fit into my past views. This knowledge has allowed me to practice thinking with my heart and feeling with my brain.
My path to volunteering is driven by a desire to add meaning to my life. Through my experience with plant medicine and study, I have found that, hiding behind my trauma, was a person with gifts and unique abilities. As I do the work to find myself in love and light, I’m discovering that I get the most joy when I share my talents, gifts, and abilities with others on their journey to become whole. This year, I began serving the Pachamama community as a retreat volunteer. This work inspired me to think about the beauty of serving. Serving is not saving! For me, it’s an opportunity to tap into my gifts and passions to build my own self-confidence, energy, and strength.
Serving allows me to be part of a community. Communities are like human bodies. Just like our bodies are made of many parts serving specific functions, communities are made up of people with different skills and abilities. Alone these pieces aren’t very useful, but together we create something beautiful. At our retreats, I love making community soup where all participants are invited to ‘taste test’ and add spices and vegetables that reflect their own preferences. When it’s served, it is truly a community soup!
Hold space for others allows me to experience joy and peace…shifting my focus off myself and onto others. Holding space is a form of energetic celebration, a way to express gratitude for what the universe has blessed me with and to share the love and grace I’ve been given.
For those retreats I participate in, for those who are seeking trauma relief, I offer 30-minute pre-retreat Reiki sessions. If you are interested, ask if I’ll be at your retreat and we can make it happen! I hope to see you soon!

MARIUSZ NIEDZWIECKI
Mariusz was born and raised in Central Europe, Poland.
Growing up in a Catholic religion, his first connection to spirituality came through the church.
Firsts contemplations about God, Christ, Spirits, Angels were based on the Catholic teachings.
Always drawn to nature, astrology, mysticisms, ancient mythologies (especially mythology of ancient Egypt, Greece and Slavic Paganism).
Growing up, he discovered passion to scientific subjects; biology, chemistry, physiology, anatomy. He understood his path was to serve and help others heal, and decided to become a western medicine practitioner.
While pursuing his degree in medicine, he continued to feel the deep calling for self discovery, healing and connection to the spirit.
He dove deeper into a spiritual path in his mid 20s by connecting with the sacred plants, which he believes was a missing puzzle that allowed him to see beyond.
He traveled the world to explore different cultures, gained wisdom from spiritual guides, and partook in many sacred ceremonies.
​
He joined Pachamama Sacred Paths in 2023 to evolve his path by learning ancient teachings, traditions and wisdoms of the Q’ero lineage and the Qhapaq Ñan.
He became a volunteer of plants sacrament and Pratismarati Breathwork teacher.
As he continues to grow and learn, he remains open and curious to see where the path will lead him next.
