Living Wisdom Community - Calistoga, California

I highly recommend Amanda and the Living Wisdom community. Amanda is an incredibly loving and grounded guide and space holder. In addition to her impeccable spiritual intuition and powerful leadership, she offers the most beautiful potently healing sound healings with her angelic voice and magical crystal singing bowls. The space at the Blue Rose Temple is serene and magical.

Transformative! If you are ready for life change through shadow work, Amanda is beyond skillful and caring in supporting you. I have been working with Amanda the past 6 months, and everyone who knows me sees the change in me. I am so much more of who I wanted to be and who I authentically am. I walk with an inner peace that I have never known which allows for more and more shadows to bubble up, and Amanda has been able to help me with each of those bubbles. After each session I feel so grateful for her wisdom and concrete strategies that I can use. Her basket is full of strategies as this has truly been her life's work. Even though I have chosen to work with her for this long, I had immediate change working with her.

If you have shadows you want to work through, spend the time meeting with Amanda (through zoom or in person). She can tailor a plan that will work for you. Just reach out to her. She is so kind and welcoming.

The Living Wisdom Sacred Huachuma ceremony on the Autumn Equinox was potent medicine for my spirit and soul. Our guides were beyond gracious and generous with their sacred space, energy, wisdom and time. A beautiful, intimate container to connect with the spirit and healing energy of Huachuma and each other was created ~ I felt safe and free to allow the journey to unfold as it needed to ~ movement, joy, tears, psychic connection, illumination. Deep gratitude to Amanda and her team for skillful guidance and supportive presence.

I don’t even have words for how grateful I am to have found Living Wisdom Community. My intention was to feel and heal, to open my heart, and to connect deeply with Self, Source, and soul tribe— and that’s exactly the gift I received thanks to the loving, accepting and safe container Living Wisdom provides. Thank you with all my heart for this invaluable experience; my prayer is that everyone who desires deep healing finds it, too.

Amanda and Matthew are the real deal. I attended a Wachuma ceremony in September 2024 at their beautiful place in Calistoga, and there are no words to express the depth of healing I experienced. Amanda is a true healer who absolutely knows what she is doing. She approaches the medicine and this type of work with the utmost respect and seriousness, so you’ll be in safe hands here.

They are dedicated to making this powerful medicine accessible to all, and their extensive knowledge of mental health and trauma healing creates a truly transformative space. Their live music during the ceremony was absolutely breathtaking and added an incredible layer to the entire experience. Their guidance, both during the ceremony and afterward, for integrating the experience into daily life was invaluable.

Their home is not just a venue—it’s a safe and sacred space where you feel completely held and supported. The environment they’ve created is warm, welcoming, and filled with the love and care they put into their work. The natural surroundings and the ambiance of the place made me feel deeply connected to nature and to myself.

Amanda and Matthew foster a strong sense of community among participants, making everyone feel like they belong. They honor the traditional use of Wachuma and bring their deep understanding of its history and healing potential to the ceremony. I attended the ceremony alone as a woman and felt completely comfortable and welcomed. This experience has contributed profoundly to my personal growth, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of it.

Living Wisdom is literally the answer to a prayer. Having been through some scattered Entheogenic ceremonies in the past, it is time for me to heal - Having some mental/emotional damage, My healing is reliable, Loving and close.
Beyond that - the ceremonies Amanda and Matthew offer are absolutely exquisite. It is obvious that Amanda is karmically attuned for perfectly guiding and holding ceremony.
If you have been curious, if you have inner work to do, do not hesitate in reaching out to Living Wisdom.
There is so much more to say, but words do not adequately describe the experience.
