Marilu Shinn and Naomi Amaya Love bring together over 50 years of combined wisdom and experience as Medicine Women, dedicated to guiding individuals through transformative journeys that honor the sacredness of life.

Their practices are deeply rooted in earth-centered shamanic traditions, providing tools to alchemize personal blocks and limitations across all aspects of life. They span the realms of mind, body, and spirit, offering holistic healing through a rich tapestry of knowledge and practices.

Through their work, they facilitate deep healing and transformation, helping individuals navigate all stages of life with grace and empowerment.

We are honored to re-weave the wisdom of the Crone into the tapestry of consensual reality because we both, Naomi and Marilu, feel that there are not enough spaces honoring this life stage and the accumulated life experiences that inform the archetype of the Crone.

In this container, we are exploring the taboos, the misconceptions, the forgotten and often exiled wisdom of the Crone, as there is work that can be done in the shadows that can’t be done in the light.

This ceremonial container is an invitation for you to walk in with dignity, to embody your mastery and to welcome Her into your life.

We will explore and unravel the many ways in which we are subliminally conditioned to resist, push back and to cling to the looks of the maiden for fear of becoming invisible. But invisibility can be a powerful tool in an often tumultuous world if we know how to use invisibility wisely.

In Bringing the Crone from Exile, we will infuse each session and week with the ways of the embodied Crone through ritual and ceremony by anointing ourselves and initiating the necessary Rites of Passage because by tending to yourself first, you dissolve the martyr and step into the initiation of the Crone, acknowledging our losses, symbolic deaths and the life transitions which have not been marked.

This container is a deep dive into the currents of aging and the nature of our changing bodies. We will walk with you exploring peri-menopause and menopause, moving from resistance and fear into the embodiment of our worth and mastery.

We will discover how she, the Crone, actually becomes the teacher to the maiden and the mother archetypes. In gracefully welcoming the Crone, we will create the ritualistic opportunity to offer liberation and healing to seven generations within our maternal lines through the veils. To our grandmothers and departed ones.

In Bringing the Crone from Exile we will weave stories, myth, and lore of the wise Crone, thereby awakening her within you.

There is invaluable potency in this 8-week container, including how you as Crone are setting and creating a new blueprint for your descendants to live more authentic lives.

“It is my deep honor to share the impact Marilu has had on my life. Her potent healings helped me recover parts of my soul and embrace my destiny as a medicine woman in the Q’ero Inca lineage.

She taught me to see beyond earthly reality, trust my visions, and honor my unique blueprint. Marilu’s wisdom and medicine strengthened my confidence in my divine feminine, helping me expand my gifts and embrace my intuitive, non-linear ways.

For those called to work with Marilu, I encourage you to do so if you are ready to do your own work and embody the process. Her presence alone brings activation. Marilu’s teachings have profoundly surpassed my previous roles as a psychologist and professor.

Marilu, thank you for your authentic sisterhood, devotion to the medicine path, and courage to embody the divine feminine. My deepest gratitude to our guides for bringing us together again in this lifetime.” - Dra. Rocio Rosales Meza

“Naomi’s classes, teachings, and mentorship have transformed my life, including my relationship with myself and the world.

I truly do not know where I would be with out her consistent and loving but firm guidance in my life.

In her classes, Naomi has an undeniably magnetic presence that commands embodied attention. Naomi relays complex and in depth-teachings with ease and relatable transmission. She has a somewhat mysterious and magical way of meeting students entirely where they are at, allowing us each to arrive fully as ourselves. She draws authenticity, curiosity, and a willingness to ‘dive deep,’ in both her teachings and guided movements that allow for interactive learning.” - Anna Barrett
