Our school features medicine workers and elders working across a spectrum of the healing arts. Students have an opportunity to study medicine in the context it is relevant to and classes are often taught in a nonacademic way. Several of the teachers have written books, and may have a masters or PhD but this is not our focus. We value the grandma healers, and the ones who carry the knowledge of many generations of their elders doing the same thing, the people who are actively working with their community and being in touch with their roots.

Malia Roe is a practicing indigenous (Miami Indiana Tribe) and Celtic pagan who walks the crooked path. As a practitioner, she draws deeply from her lifelong relationship with the invisible world (spirits, ancestors, energy) that began in her childhood. That relationship has grown and been nurtured by the teachings she’s been gifted from seers, mediums, wise women, cunning folk, witches, curanderas, herbalists, and medicine people from a wide range of cultural and ancestral traditions. She has been called to share those teachings and experiences with others in ways that support their own journeys of self-awareness and empowerment. Malia’s circles of practice embrace both her indigenous and celtic ancestors. She is a member of the Seven Arches Longhouse, the Black Rose, Black Tree, and Reclaiming magical traditions, the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids (OBOD), the Ancient Order of Druids in America, and the Sisterhood of Avalon. She is a reiki master (Usui tradition), a certified Life & Mindfulness Coach, a certified herbalist but the centre of Excellence, an OBOD-trained Celebrant and a legal ceremonial officiant. She is also involved with the Healing & Reconciliation Institute, and is a trained HRI facilitator.
Malia most often offers teachings on:
· Wildcrafting a responsible, respectful medicine path
· Working from/with the land where you live / land-based spirituality
· Cultural appropriation, accountability, ethics & elders
· Communicating with the ancestors
· Beginning & advance energetic healing (combining ancestral & reiki approaches)
· Celtic spiritualities (druidry & witchcraft, neopaganism & historical practices)
· Living the wheel of the year
· Divination methodology & practice
· Herbal medicine & folk workings
· Guided meditation, journeying, hedge-riding
This class focuses on spiritual and sustainable living practices, taught through the pagan calendar – the eight-fold Wheel of the year – which derives from ancestral Celtic/European harvesting and spiritual living practices. We’ll focus on understanding how our ancestors engaged with these holidays, the distinction between specific Celtic (Welsh, Irish, Scottish) practices, and how different pagan spiritualities (druids, Wiccans, witches, Avalonians, etc.) engage with the Wheel. We’ll look at practical ways to include Wheel observations into your life as well as explore crystals and herbs to enhance those practices.
This course focuses on how to use tools and methods from different cultural traditions in order to connect with our ancestors as a path to self-awareness and wisdom. The course includes basic instruction on grounding and energetic protection as well as spirit journeying to create relationships with ancestors. We’ll explore a variety of tools – scrying, tarot, runes, ogham, etc. – that serve as a conduit for ancestral communication.

She collaborated for 10 years with his Nonprofit Association to support the protection of the fully Mayan run rainforest Reserve Bio Itza and brought groups of students to study with him. Morgaine has recognized the importance of honoring healing modalities of all cultures and especially the ones of our own tradition even if they have been forgotten by a few generations. She grew up immersed in an immigrant community and found herself honoring the elders that still remembered their own language, their own healing modalities and traditions from that community. It was a journey of many years before she started to look deeper into reclaiming the healing practices of the ancestral traditions that she came from and hopes to share with all people of European decent to remember to honor their own ancestors, to connect to the land and the people that are currently practicing and keeping the context of European tribal healing traditions alive today. She hopes to create a safe space to bridge the gap generational knowledge and cultural similarities and healing tools to encourage self healing and community healing.

Later she worked at nonprofit Rocky Mountain Youth Corps with “at risk youth” doing hands on experiential learning in nature focusing on useful life skills and training once a week for teens. Afterwards she ventured to Guatemala to volunteer at an orphanage and was responsible for 30 girls ages 10-17 as their live in caretaker and teacher for 5 months. in 2011 Morgaine found herself homebound and endured hurricane Sandys destruction leaving 13 million people on the East coast without electricity. She coordinated one thousand volunteers a day in Staten Island, New York and spent months doing grass roots disaster recovery with Feeding Family including immediate needs donations and distribution of water, food, respiratory masks, clothing, tho food, medications and animal rehoming, demolition, and later therapeutic urban gardening in elevated community garden beds, fundraising, and more demolition, raw sewage clean up and mold control.
My family ancestry is from Honduras, Central America. I was born and raised in New York City, there I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the City University of New York. As long as I can remember I have had the gift of healing through my hands and an acute sense of intuition. However, as a child and young these gifts were not spoken of or used. In 1984, I received a spiritual calling through a sweat lodge ceremony facilitated by Uncle Charlie Thom of the Karuk tribe in Mt. Shasta. From there my life as I knew it changed. My first visit to New Mexico was in 1987 to participate in ceremony for the Harmonic Convergence. Then in 1989 I visited Taos, New Mexico for the San Geronimo Feast day. On this day God called me to move to Taos. My new life began on August 31, 1991 when I moved to Taos. Here I raised my two younger children. When they went off to college in 2005, I too decided enter the Master’s degree program in Educational Leadership at the University of New Mexico. At that time my mentor asked me to teach the Sacred Ceremony class at UNM-Taos. My Master’s thesis evolved from this class and from my own spiritual developmental path. When I completed the Master’s degree there was an urgency to continue my education which led me to enter the doctoral program at the California Institute of Integral Studies. I opted to receive a second Master’s degree in Transformative Studies due to lack of money to complete the doctoral dissertation. Over the last three decades my spiritual path has led me to become a ceremonialist in facilitating sweat lodges, vision quests, water blessings and healing ceremonies. Through my own spiritual development I have a great interest in how other’s spiritual development leads them to their self- authorship and authenticity through ritual and ceremony. This is my passion.
My commitment to be of service to others by the will of God is how I live my life.
