Mina is an animist herbalist, somatic guide, ritualist, birthkeeper and E-RYT 500 yoga teacher devoted to the reclamation of feminine vitality and embodied sovereignty. She walks a devotional path in service to the living Earth and the Great Cosmic Mother, guiding women back into relationship with their bodies, intuition, ancestry and the living world.

Of primarily Iranian and Irish descent, Mina’s path has been one of remembering—returning to right relationship with body, lineage and land after early experiences of cultural and ecological disconnection. As a homesteading mother of two, her life continually deepens her reverence for cyclical wisdom, embodied leadership and the quiet power of tending what is sacred.

She currently lives in the mountains of Western North Carolina on traditional Cherokee land, where she and her partner steward a regenerative homestead alongside their children and animals. Living in rhythm with soil, seasons and sky informs her grounded yet devotional approach to healing work and community weaving.

Mina’s offerings weave plant medicine, somatic practice, classical Tantra, rewilding and nature-based ritual into intimate spaces of transformation. Through sacred circle and embodied work, she creates gentle yet powerful containers where women soften, unravel inherited conditioning, and remember the radiance that lives within.

Her work supports the release of the inherited story of separation and the return to embodied wholeness and interconnection—rising rooted and radiant, supported by ancestral wisdom and empowered to become the ancestor that future generations will thank.

Havalyn is an initiated folk healer, animist, breathwork facilitator, somatic practitioner, womb keeper, ritualist, artist and cacao ceremonialist devoted to the restoration of right relationship between humans, Earth and the living web of life. Her work is guided by a deep listening to the wisdom of the body, the land, and the ancient rhythms that shape all living systems.

Of Swedish, German, Polish and Northwestern European ancestry, Havalyn walks a path of remembering—reweaving the threads of earth-based wisdom, embodied healing and forgotten ancestral ways of knowing. For more than twenty-five years she has immersed herself in the study of nature-based and indigenous wisdom traditions, alongside graduate-level studies in psychotherapy and somatic healing.

A lifelong dancer and artist with over thirty-five years of training devoted to movement and creative expression, her work bridges somatic awareness, ritual, the creative process, breath, voice and embodied presence. She weaves songs, dances and ceremonial spaces that invite people into deeper intimacy with themselves, each other and the living world.

Havalyn lives with her partner on a regenerative organic homestead in the mountains of Western North Carolina on traditional Cherokee lands. Living with, tending to, and listening to the rhythms of nature deeply informs her practice and devotion to cyclical wisdom, earth stewardship and the restoration of healthy/right relationship.

Her work—rooted in what she calls The Spiral Path—supports the Great Healing and Great Re-membering of humanity: the return to embodied wholeness, ancestral remembrance and the awakening of our innate capacity to live in beauty, reciprocity and reverence with all our relations.

Allison has lived in the mountains of southern Appalachia for most of her life, shaped by the region’s extraordinary biodiversity and deep-rooted cultural heritage. She and her partner are raising their three children on a multi-generational homestead in a remote valley of Madison County, North Carolina, where daily life unfolds alongside animals, gardens, honeybees, and the steady rhythms of the land. Homesteading and homeschooling continually inform her grounded, embodied approach to practice.

For more than 15 years, Allison has taught yoga and serves as primary steward of Magictown Movement Studio. Her teaching is shaped by study with Anusara instructors, immersion in biomechanics and myofascial release, and work with Tom Myers of Anatomy Trains. Through motherhood, the pandemic, and a devastating flood in her mountain community, yoga has remained a steady companion—an embodied practice that lives both on and off the mat.

Her path deepened through Andean Nature Mysticism after journeying to Peru’s Sacred Valley to study with the paqos while pregnant with her second child. Through sacred offerings and prayer, she experienced a profound heart-opening connection with the spirit of the land and continues to walk a path of reciprocity with the living world.

Allison weaves together yoga, heart coherence practices, fascia-informed movement, Nature mysticism, and stone medicine. Studying stone medicine with Sarah Thomas of Upper Clarity, she works especially with the element of Gold—a symbol of refinement, resilience and inner radiance.

At Into the Light, she invites women into embodied practices that gently polish the heart and illuminate the steady light within.
