GROUNDED SPIRITUALITY

Ritual Guide. Sacred Leadership Mentor. Bridge Between Worlds.
I believe in women who lead with love
And I believe that leadership becomes magnetic when it’s rooted in the Earth — in firelight, rhythm, and inner stillness.
And I believe that leadership becomes magnetic when it’s rooted in the Earth — in firelight, rhythm, and inner stillness.My greatest joy is to see women shine — not because they push harder, but because they remember who they are. I support this remembering through connection to the elements, ritual, and deep presence.
My Life's Path
From wall to world, a path of spirit & structure.
I was born behind a wall — literally. Raised in East Germany, I always felt there was more beyond what I could see. At 16, a scholarship brought me to the U.S., just five years after the Berlin Wall had fallen. That experience cracked something open: for the first time, I felt cared for — like I belonged.It awakened a lifelong curiosity for people, culture, and the invisible threads that bind us.
​
My journey led me through many worlds:Corporate boardrooms and sacred fires.High heels and bare feet on the Earth.Targets, KPIs — and the silent pulse of the drum.I spent over 20 years in the corporate world — from executive assistant to headhunter, from key account manager to director of a women’s leadership initiative. I know what pressure feels like. I’ve seen burnout from the inside. I also know the magic that arises when we lead from the heart.Alongside that path, I’ve walked quietly — for over 15 years — the way of ceremony.My feet have touched the red soil of South Africa, the sacred waters of India, and the forests of Costa Rica. I’ve sat with shamans and wisdom keepers across the Americas. I walk the Moondance and the Sun Dance path. My spiritual mother, Grandmother Ana Carmona Itzpapalotl, has been a compass of truth and tradition in my life.
My Work Today
I live and lead between worlds — blending the ancient and the modern, the spiritual and the strategic.
Today, I guide women and teams into deep connection through:
Fire Ceremonies
Motherdrum Journeys & Sound Healing
Sweat Lodges & Women’s Circles
Sacred Leadership Mentoring
Keynote Speaking & Conscious Event Design
Whether we gather under the open sky or in a corporate retreat space — the intention is the same: To return to what matters. To lead from within. To feel human again.
Why I Do This Work
​​
Because I know how powerful it is when we remember.
When we slow down, listen, and lead from our inner fire.
I’m here to hold that space - with integrity, warmth, and a touch of wild.
If you're longing for meaningful connection - with yourself, your team, your purpose - you're in the right place.
Let’s walk this path together.
With care,
Melinda
