Painting by Pablo AmaringoWendy Luckey was born in Minot, North Dakota into a family with mixed cultural diversity. From an early age, she had to learn how to navigate in these different worlds during a time when this was not supported in community or culture. Throughout her life, she has
experienced intense interactions with spirits and the natural world.
Her training as an indigenous healer and visionary began at the age of
eleven, when she survived being hit by lightning, considered by elders in
the Americas as a traditional calling by Spirit to train and practice
the medicine path.
While at university, she became disillusioned with higher Western education and some of the perceptions of modern medicine. She then refocused her lifelong quest for truth and healing by pursing experiential studies with wisdom keepers in both indigenous and spiritual traditions. Her background combines wisdom gained over many years of study, with elders in different traditions, including Native American, African, Celtic, and Dreamtime.
In 1998, she first met the spirit of Ayahuasqua when synchronicity brought her to the Amazon to work with don Augustine Rivas Vasquez at his jungle camp near Tamshiyacu, Peru. In those first experiences, she was profoundly changed by direct encounters with this plant spirit. During the next four years, she returned to Peru as often as possible for more intensive healing with Ayahuasqua. In 2002, synchronicity brought her to the mountains of Peru where she met the spirit of Achuma (San Pedro), which opens the heart and heals emotions.
Spirit has brought many wisdom keepers into her life, including ayahuasquera Maria Cristina Mendoza Vidal, and curandero don Theo Paredes, considered a master of plant medicines. In 2006, Wendy moved to Peru to continue studies with sacred plant medicines and the Andean mystical and healing traditions. Most recently, she has been on dieta learning from the plants and trees in the rain forest near Iquitos.
Her practice of the art of healing combines work with medicine plants, along with energetic healing practices, to assist others in their transformational process to assist them in fulfilling their life purpose. The higher intent of her work is to forward human evolution during these times of great planetary change. Her dedication to learning and passion for medicine work has enabled her and others to deepen their awareness, integrate, and develop their natural gifts.
Her interest is in global healing, personal transformation, and cross cultural communication to facilitate increasing harmony and growth for all beings on the planet.
