About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Amanda Ma is an artist, ceremonialist, and retreat organizer whose vision for the Sonoran Soulfire Retreat has been many years in the making. Through deep shadow work and personal healing, she has cultivated the courage to bring this dream forward and to call in powerful sisters to co-create and share their gifts. With five planets in Capricorn and the creative fire of a Manifesting Generator, she was born to be a power organizer—bringing vision into form and guiding women to discover the wisdom already alive within them.
Her mission with The Creative Medicine Path is to help women awaken their own medicine, walk their path with courage, and remember their belonging. Amanda knows firsthand what it feels like to be excluded or to self-isolate, which is why she is devoted to building containers where everyone feels seen, included, and empowered.
For over a decade, Amanda has apprenticed under elders in South American ceremonies, learning healing songs, ritual, and shadow navigation as pathways to wholeness. Amanda continues to deepen her studies in the United States with Madi Sato of Praising Earth, a lineage of song and ceremony that honors the earth and the ancestral voice. She also weaves beauty, story, and impermanence into her altar-making practice as a devoted student of Day Schildkret of Morning Altars, bringing this art of ephemeral creation into her offerings as a way to honor the cycles of life, death, and renewal.
