In this episode of Closer to Venus, Johnny Burke interviews Jemmita, a modern medicine woman, retreat leader, healer, and ceremonialist. Jemmita shares her journey into Andean shamanism, rooted in the Andean Cosmovision, and her unique methods in energy healing and spiritual guidance. She discusses her acute sensitivity to energy from a young age, the mentorship provided by Andean shamans, and her profound experiences in sacred sites like Lake Titicaca and Machu Picchu. The conversation also delves into ancient civilizations, the significance of stillness in raising vibrations, and how shamanic practices are more about remembering and unlocking divine intelligence within oneself.
