Robin is one of the only a few fully trained western Kamasqueras and one of the only women in this field of practice. She was called to the ceremonial work after a decade long struggle with an undiagnosable and untreatable "mystery illness". She has lived and walked the path of the wounded healer. With over 22 years of ceremonial immersion she kindly, compassionately, and expertly guides each client into their own unique power, medicine, and direct connection to the inner healer. Robin has worked with and supported incredible elders from South and North America to learn the medicine ways through direct guidance, observation, and energetic transmission. Robin vast experience in the realms of ceremony, including immersion within the ceremonial ways of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition, Huachuma Curanderismo, Ayahuasca Vegetalismo, the Sacred Mushrooms, North American Medicine Wheel and sweat lodge teachings, Theta Healing, new science and wisdom teachings from Earth Honouring European and Egyptian mystery schools. Robin has radically unique training, medicine, and a vast reservoirs of experience, shamanic power, and teachings she generously shares with all who come.
Robin has facilitated well over a thousand ceremonies (and worked with far more clients) from her cross-cultural shamanic practice and in this time she has learned what truly serves and prospers her clients to heal from their own direct connection, resource, and personal empowerment. She reverently weaves the ancient plant spirit medicine ceremonial arts, the beauty of visionary arts, the depth of the mystery school teachings, and the power of personal sovereignty to create a potent healing container.
Robin holds a B.A. in Environmental Studies and Eco-psychology from Naropa University and a Master of Arts in Good and Sustainable Communities from Northern Arizona University. She completed the fieldwork for her master’s thesis “Entheogenic Soul Evolutions” on her first trip to Peru in 2006.
Robin is a sanctioned teacher and mentor in the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition of cross cultural shamanism and offers the 5 Part Apprenticeship series with her soulmate and husband, Darcy. This stellar and radically transformative lineage has woven together all of Robin's previous fields of study into a comprehensive whole, rooted within an ancient yet evolutionary lineage of wisdom keepers. It is her great joy and honour to share this with the growing body of mesa carriers and Earth stewards.
Robin and Darcy offer workshops, retreats, and pilgrimages through out the Americas.

He felt very called to begin apprenticeship in this wisdom system, as well as journeying within the Pachakuti teacher’s path.

Details of this retreat
Emissaries of the Deep
A Life Transforming Ceremonial Pilgrimage to
Commune with the Star Infused Medicine Powers of
Dolphin, Whale and the great Apus of Hawai'i.
March 22-30, 2026 | Kealakekua Bay | Big Island
Remembering Your Ancient Future Self with the Medicine Power of Dolphin & Whale
In many ancient cultures and star lineages, whales and dolphins are seen as carriers of codes, keepers of galactic memory, and guardians of Earth's oceanic meridian system.
Dolphins, with their spiraling sonar and ecstatic joy, awaken play, presence, and trust in the moment.
Whales, with their massive bodies and deep songs, stir the ancestral waters of wisdom, remembrance, and soul vision.
To commune with them in the wild—in ceremony, with reverence—is to activate dormant frequencies within the Self and return to the oceanic truth that you are part of something vast, intelligent, and benevolent.
As a soul you chose to be here with radical purpose and ancient wisdom. Now is the time to fully embrace your origin of soul and your destiny as an embodiment of planetary healing medicine for Mother Earth and the great web of life.
It is through common-unity, interconnection, and kinship with all of life that we experience True Healing. We were never meant to heal alone. This retreat is a safe, sacred space where we can journey together, awakening to the full power of Love within and around us.
Join us for this deep visioning retreat within the embrace of the Pacific Ocean and Great Mountain Mauna Kea to:
Profoundly connect to the medicine spirits and powers of Dolphin, Whale, and Mamacocha Pacifica (the living spirit of Mother Ocean)
Restore deep trust in Life, Self, and Spirit with Dolphin and Whale
Awaken the cellular memory of your Ancient Future Self and Starseed Mission to support your path of service in this life.
Reconnect to a living web of elemental and star-nation allies
Receive direct guidance from plant spirits, ocean beings, and whale songlines
Reclaim your sovereign creative power and soul-aligned purpose
The Call
There is a place where the great song line and memory keepers of the Earth gather to remember the future and heal the past.
Where wild dolphins dance in crystalline bays, and great blue whales carry the memory of worlds before time.There is a song—older than human language, deeper than the mind—echoing across the ocean floor. It is a golden song line of our origins and our destinies. A place for true remembrance when accessed with a humble willing heart in alignment to the living Spirits of Hawaii.
It is calling you.
Above these sacred waters rises Mauna Kea, the tallest mountain on Earth when measured from base to peak, and long revered as a bridge between worlds. To the Hawaiian people, Mauna Kea is Wākea’s sacred altar—an origin point where sky and Earth united to birth the islands. Her snowcapped peak is a realm of deep silence and divine communion.
Nearby, Mauna Loa, the massive Earth Mother volcano and home of the fire goddess Pele, breathes with lava and the pulse of transformation. Together, these mountains cradle the Big Island, forming the spine of a living temple where ocean, fire, and stardust converge.
The Big Island of Hawai‘i is held in many sacred cosmologies as part of ancient Lemuria, or Mu—a time when humans and elemental beings lived in harmony, and the wisdom of the stars was rooted in the Earth. The whales and dolphins are said to be record-keepers of this golden age, their songs encoding the crystalline memory of a time when our species walked in reverence with Spirit, Earth, and each other.
The Pachakuti Mesa tradition, too, carries threads of this remembrance—connecting us to Lemurian and pre-Inkan roots, where mesa carriers, sea priests, and plant spirit allies co-created with the cosmos. In this retreat, we reawaken these ancient soul codes and bridge the worlds through ceremony, communion, and sea.
In many sacred cosmologies, Hawai‘i is seen as part of the ancient lost continent of Lemuria, or Mu—a civilization of star-touched humans, elemental guides, and crystalline cultures that lived in harmony with Earth. While this doesn’t appear explicitly in traditional Hawaiian oral histories, there are prophetic songs and chants—such as ‘This land is the sea’s’—that suggest an ancient knowing of arrival, loss, and renewal. In this guided retreat, we honor the resonance of Mū culture as part of a broader Lemurian-rooted remembrance.
Kealakekua Bay, the “Pathway of the Gods,” is a sacred vortex where the sea meets the sky, where Earth remembers her original song lines. Every year, pods of Hawaiian spinner dolphins (Stenella longirostris) return to these turquoise waters, and in the early spring, North Pacific humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) arrive with their calves, transmitting the frequencies of lineage, love, and light.
This March we invite you to join us in communion with these Wisdom Keepers of the Deep—to listen, to remember, and to reclaim the sovereign, star-seeded Self that came here with a purpose. This is your sacred opportunity to shed the false stories of self-doubt, unworthiness, and lack—the inherited illusions that whisper you're not enough, your life is not enough, or you must earn your freedom.
Here, we remember -
You are already whole.
You are already worthy.
And your medicine is needed now.
This is an 8-night ceremonial immersion rooted in sacred ecology, soul awakening, and the living cosmovision of the Pachakuti Mesa tradition. Through prayer, practice, and presence, we will call forth the creative power, deep listening, and joyful embodiment that is your divine birthright.
