Praise
“I met Denai, owner of Moonflower Medicine many years ago, in her home country of Belize. I felt an
instant connection and she has remained in my life as a spiritual guide and teacher ever since. When
she announced she would be offering a retreat to Belize, centered around the Mayan teachings and
the Sacred Ceiba I didn’t hesitate to join her.
Though my spiritual path tends toward other traditions, Denai’s passion and wisdom for the
Indigenous, and specifically Meso America teachings have always spoken deeply to me. Steeped in
story, ceremony and tangible experiences/adventures, the Belize Retreat was more than I could have
expected. Denai’s gifts in healing and bringing spiritual practice to life
was evident every step of the way.
I have felt lighter and re-energized since returning home, people have commented on something
shining differently around me. I would highly recommend this Retreat, or any of Denai’s offerings to
anyone curious, adventourous, or in need of healing energy. She is a true healer, teacher and guide
who is strongly rooted in the teachings she studies.”
“I feel so honored to have shared in the medicine and healing energy of Denai and Moonflower Medicine. I attended the Ceiba Tree Retreat 2024 and it was profound and impactful to my healing journey. Denai offered a cultural and spiritual experience that supported local indigenous people and honored the land all while meeting us where we were at on our own spiritual paths.”
“Denai is so deeply attuned to the subtle energies of the plants. She is able to listen to what they are saying and teaching and understands how we humans can work with these energies in our own lives. Moonflower Medicine is a portal to magic.”
