MELINDA NINA GARCIA
RITUAL GUIDE & WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP MENTOR
Ceremonies, Team Buildings & Events
I believe that remembering ourselves as part of nature is the only path to peace - within us and on Earth. My work bridges the worlds of business and spirit, structure and intuition, ritual and real life.
Let's walk this path together.
REFERENCES & BACKGROUND
From wall to world, a path of spirit & structure.
It is my deepest wish to support every being to live in joy, gratitude and peace with themselves - so that together, we may attune to the vibration of the Earth and co-create a conscious, healthy, and connected future for our children.
I was born behind a wall - literally.
Raised in East Germany, I always sensed there was more beyond what I could see. At 16, a scholarship took me to the U.S., just five years after the Berlin Wall fell.
With over two decades of experience bridging the corporate and spiritual worlds, I bring a rare combination of structure, intuition and embodied wisdom.
Before dedicating my life fully to ritual and ceremony, I thrived in international business and leadership - from six years as Executive Assistant to IBM’s Vice Presidents, to building Europe’s largest just-in-time working platform with Coople and co-directing Women on Board GmbH, an initiative empowering female leaders in collaboration with the University of St. Gallen.
I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology, Sports Science, and American/British Studies, grounding my work in both scientific understanding and cultural depth.
For nearly a decade, I’ve co-directed the Pachamama Festival in Switzerland - weaving conscious culture, music and ceremony into one of the country’s most beloved transformational nature gatherings. I am also the founder and guardian of Moondance Switzerland, a sacred 1-week ceremony rooted in the lineage of the Puerto Rican Grandmother Ana Carmona Itzpapalotl.
Since 2011, I have been deeply connected to the eco-village Pachamama in Costa Rica, where I have worked, studied and immersed myself in transformative learning.
My current studies in Somatic Experiencing in Zurich and over 15 years of plant medicine practice further deepen my understanding of human transformation. I grew up as a competitive speed skater, which taught me discipline, focus and endurance - qualities I now bring into every ritual and leadership process I hold.
I am a student of life. Since a young age, I have felt a deep connection to the spirit world - guides who have accompanied me through profound discoveries, including the truth of my own roots.

Melinda guides with love and speaks with her heart always. I feel safe in her presence. I like how she stands with us and not above us. She is extremely humble and a ball of joy. Bringing a childlike essence but also holding a deep level of reverence and respect for the all. She is a weaver of beauty, peace and love. An incredible example of what it means to be human.
