Munay Ki Rites - Contemporary Rites of Initiation for Healing, Protection and Empowerment
The Munay-Ki are the nine contemporary energetic rites of initiation (or attunements) based on the ancient ways of the medicine men and women of the Americas, Eastern traditions and cross-cultural healing practices brought through and made available to all originally by the Four Winds Society and have been shared widely across the globe, including by indigenous elders. The word munay means “I love you," love and will combined, or “BE AS THOU ART.”
The Munay-Ki are the new energetic codes for us to evolve into a higher version of ourselves. Who we would be without fear and limitations of the ego, with a much greater connection to our spiritual origins.
The Munay-Ki are the nine rites of initiation to become a person of integrity and responsibility for himself, with a deeper connection to spirit and the natural world.
The nine rites are similar to those found in other shamanic and animistic traditions, though the Munay Ki are more heavily based on the healing traditions of the Andes in South America. These are not traditional Q'ero rites or karpays, though they are based on some of their teachings. and complement their traditional rites and healing methods.
If you choose to receive the Munay-Ki, your energy centers will become more clear and your energy field more balanced, which can allow old beliefs, karmic patterns and trauma to be cleared on an energetic level. Helping to leave you with greater energy, clarity, insight, vitality and freedom to achieve your life’s purpose and to help transition our world into the age of peace. These rites are powerful, and each person responds differently to them. Through these rites you will gain a greater connection to mother earth, to the ancient lineage of healers and Earthkeepers, balance the sacred masculine and feminine within yourself, connect with angels and guardian spirits, and release patterns of limitation that inhibit your growth, purpose and happiness. Eventually, as you experience the 7th, 8th, and 9th initiation, these energy transmissions will then inform your DNA, giving it instructions on how to create a new body that will age, heal, and die differently. For more information, go to www.munay-ki.org.
The Munay Ki rites are open to everyone, no previous experience with energy healing, Reiki or Shamanism necessary. Though they can be very powerful for seasoned healers and experienced shamanic practitioners as well, because of the powerful lineages connected to this wonderful system.
Munay Ki rites are offered in 3 sessions, of 3 rites (for the total of 9). The rites are offered as part of a sacred healing and teaching ceremony, with the opening of sacred space, history and teachings about each of the rites, sharing of the rites, and how to continue to empower them and work with their energies in daily life. You will also receive a pi stone (see image above) as part of the ceremony.
This is an in-person offering at the Angel Cooperative, in Ridgefield, CT
May 22, June 11, July 23, 2025, from 6-9 pm (offered in 3 sessions to complete the 9 rites)
Fee is $255 per person for the full program.

Advanced Level Integrated Energy Therapy® Training class
Prerequisites : Completion of the Integrated Energy Therapy® Intermediate Level class is required for attendance at this class.
Description : This class builds on all of the knowledge and techniques learned in our Basic and Intermediate Level trainings. While our Basic and Intermediate Level classes are focused on clearing cellular memory and the human energy field, our Advanced Level training is focused on helping you live your soul’s mission and bringing your dreams alive. Only IET Master-Instructors are authorized to teach this class.
Advanced Attunement : You will receive a special Advanced Level “energy attunement” that will further open your energy field to the power of Integrated Energy Therapy® Advanced Level ray. Our Advanced Level attunement expands, realigns, and restructures the 4th pair (soul profile) and 5th pair (soul cluster) of your 12 Strand DNA. Once attuned to the Advanced Level IET Ray, you will have the ability to discover your soul’s mission and attract members of your soul’s cluster to help you live your soul’s mission and bring your dreams alive.
Your Soul’s Mission : Every soul incarnates with a special mission that is not only perfect for that soul but is an integral part of the higher divine plan. The Advanced Level energy attunement will open you to a deeper connection with your 8th chakra (called the soul star) where the complete plan for your soul’s mission is stored. You will learn how to tap into the soul star energy and better understand your soul’s mission through the creation of a vision board. You will also learn about the four E’s of living your soul’s mission and how energy blockages can prevent you from living your mission.
Muscle Tension – Relaxation Techniques : The deep energy blockages that can prevent you from living your soul’s mission can easily be released through the special Advanced Level Integrated Energy Therapy® muscle tension – relaxation techniques. These techniques applied to the arms and legs will accelerate you in the living of your soul’s mission.
Soul Star Clearing : This Advanced Level technique lets you work directly with the 8th chakra to activate the energy of the soul’s mission and focus angelic energy to bring your dreams alive.
Heartbeams – Healing the Earth : As an Advanced Level practitioner, you will be able to give back to Mother Earth by establishing columns of Integrated Energy Therapy® energy into the Earth called Heartbeams. Once established, these columns provide a permanent anchor of angelic healing energy into the Earth. These can be used to heal areas of the Earth that have suffered from human or natural devastation. Not only will Heartbeams offer healing to the Earth, but they will also offer healing to anyone who passes through them. As an Advanced Level Integrated Energy Therapy® practitioner, you can place Heartbeams in your home and office. You can also place them at the entrances to schools, hospitals, train stations, airports, and anywhere lots of people will pass through.
Class Length : 1 day (approx. 7.5 hours). This class is designed to be taught in one day, and typically runs from 10AM to 5:00 PM.
Class Materials : you will receive a fully illustrated 34 page Integrated Energy Therapy® Advanced Level Guide and an official Integrated Energy Therapy® Advanced Level Certificate.
Class Fee : $350 for group class; private training fee is $425.
