A Conversation about Healing, Tradition, and the Path of a Mara'akame
Is Healing Intensive right for you?
WHEN:
April 23, 2026, 7 pm eastern time
WHERE:
Live on Zoom
TUITION:
no charge, registration required
At the heart of this work is Don David Wiley’s path as a Mara’akame—a spiritual guide and healer within the Wixárika (Huichol) tradition.
Don David was initiated into this path over 25 years ago and has dedicated his life to this work—serving the community, learning from guiding elders, and deepening his relationship with the spiritual forces that shape this tradition.
This path is not something that is casually chosen. It is one of deep commitment, developed over many years through apprenticeship, discipline, and service.
The work of a Mara’akame is rooted in restoring balance—within the individual, and in relationship to the natural and spiritual world. It is a way of working that invites clarity, responsibility, and a deeper understanding of one’s place within life.
We invite you to join a conversation about healing with Don David Wiley.
This will be an opportunity to hear directly from Don David about:
his path as a Mara’akame
the foundations of this healing work
how this tradition informs the Healing Intensive
how the Healing Intensive may serve you personally
