Stress, trauma, and overwhelm leave traces in the body—tight muscles, shallow breath, bracing patterns we carry long after the moment has passed.

Bioenergetics helps the body finish what it’s been holding back. Through breath, intentional movement, sound, and vibration, stored tension and emotion can rise, move, and finally release.

Join us this Sunday to experience the WATER element of the Unmuzzle Your Power Animal™ emotional release events. We will shake, bounce, jump, tap, scream, and allow the body to move in the ways that allow it to release what it’s been holding. 

This is a dymanic practice set to high-energy electronic music.

When stress pulls our attention into the mind, we lose the quiet intelligence that lives in the body.

To access intuition, awareness must soften and return to the lower centers—especially the abdomen, where dense nerve networks attune us to the world within and around us.

This Sunday night, Raquel () and I will guide a breathwork and soundbath journey into the Earth element at . A descent into presence and inner knowing offered as an introduction to the Unmuzzle Your Power Animal™ emotional release events.

11/09/2025

One of the most sacred and protected practices of the Andean paqos (nature mystics), the Four Suns Alignment is an ancient empowerment technique that dissolves the illusion of separation and restores our most essential connection with the living environment.

Through this practice, we align our qosqo—the inner sun within our abdomen—with the Earth’s core, the Solar Sun, and the Dark Sun, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

Using breath, visualization, and deep perception, this meditation attunes us to our true power and place within the cosmos.

Experience the Four Suns Alignment live tonight, guided by Alejandro during a sound bath led by Raquel, weaving electronic music and crystal bowls into one immersive journey.

On the eve of the eclipse, we invite you to gather in sacred ceremony with to***co—a ritual to release what no longer serves and anchor more fully into the timeline you choose.

Alejandro Villegas, Desiree Saltkill, and Raquel Karnavas of FirstMemory will guide participants through a sacred to***co ceremony, rooted in the wisdom of ancient Peruvian shamanic lineages and supported by a traditional mesa (shamanic altar).

The ceremony will include two sacred preparations of Amazonian mapacho to***co: singa, a nasal brew, and hapé, an indigenous s***f. Both are considered powerful sacraments that support the release of old patterns while opening the way to transformative new ways of being.

By connecting with the sacred spirit of this ancient plant and understanding how ni****ne supports brain plasticity, participants can gain tools to reconfigure mental patterns and heal past wounds.

Unlike smoked to***co, singa is prepared as a tea-like infusion and administered nasally through ritual. A few drops are placed in a whelk shell and gently poured into each nostril, similar to a neti pot. The practice is performed twice: first to release stagnant energies and old conditioning, then to call in new intentions and ways of being. The medicine does not burn and has a mildly sweet taste, yet carries a potent effect.

Hapé is delivered with a V-shaped pipe called a tepi. The s***f is blown into the nose, where it permeates the mucous membranes and quickly enters the bloodstream. Its effects are immediate and often profound, producing heightened alertness and a sense of elevation.

The ceremony will be further deepened with the vibrational resonance of crystal bowls, enhancing integration and alignment.

This practice is recommended only for those in good health and sincerely committed to personal transformation. It is not appropriate for individuals struggling with ni****ne addiction, but it may support those seeking to cultivate a healthy and respectful relationship with the spirit of to***co. 21 and over only.

Monica Rainbow FirePhoenix and I, Alejandro, invite you to join us this Saturday at for a sacred to***co ceremony rooted in the ancestral wisdom of Peruvian shamanic traditions. The ceremony will be held in the presence of my Mesa—an altar that holds the medicine and spirit of this work.

We will work with Singa, a ceremonial brew made from Amazonian mapacho to***co. Far from recreational use, this sacred plant ally is offered as a powerful tool to shed outdated patterns and welcome profound personal transformation. As we connect with its spirit and explore the role of ni****ne in supporting brain plasticity, participants can access new possibilities for rewiring the mind and releasing deeply held emotional imprints.

Rather than being smoked, the to***co is prepared as a liquid infusion. A small amount is gently poured into each nostril from a whelk shell—similar in process to a neti pot. The ritual is done twice: the first round clears old energy and limiting patterns; the second anchors new intentions and aligned ways of being. Singa carries a mildly sweet essence and does not burn, but it is potent and intended for those in good physical health and sincerely committed to inner work.

Please note: This ceremony is not appropriate for individuals struggling with ni****ne dependency. However, for those seeking to develop a respectful and conscious relationship with to***co as a sacred plant teacher, it can be deeply healing.

The experience will be supported by immersive sound—crystal bowls and other healing instruments will guide you through a resonant, vibrational journey to anchor the work.

Please join us for an intimate and sacred gathering this Saturday, June 21, in honor of the Summer Solstice of 2025.

I am joining forces with Diana Dos Santos of Goddess Heart Community to co-create a powerful evening of ceremony and transformation. Together, we will offer a Sacred Cacao and To***co Ceremony to mark this potent seasonal turning point. Diana will guide us in a heart-opening journey with the revered medicine of cacao, known as the “Food of the Gods.” We will share in a warm ceremonial elixir prepared with deep intention, rooted in its ancestral Guatemalan lineage. This sacred cacao helps awaken the heart, inviting us into deeper connection with ourselves, with community, and with the earth.

Following this, I, Alejandro Villegas, will lead a sacred to***co ceremony held in the lineage of my Peruvian shamanic teachers, supported by the presence of a mesa (sacred altar). You will be invited to receive Singa—a ceremonial brew made from Amazonian mapacho to***co—administered nasally using a whelk shell, much like a neti pot. This ritual will be offered twice: once to release old energies and patterns, and again to call in new intentions and ways of being.

While both cacao and to***co are familiar in our modern world, working with ceremonial-grade plant medicines in this sacred context is an entirely different experience—one of profound healing and transformation.

Sananga, a powerful Amazonian visionary medicine delivered as eye drops, will also be offered.

We ask that you arrive with a clear intention: something you are ready to let go of, and something you wish to welcome into your life. You will be safely held in a container of deep care and integrity, allowing you to release what no longer serves and step into a new version of yourself.

Alejandro Villegas is a ceremonialist and lineage holder in ancient South American shamanic traditions. He is the founder of FirstMemory—a multidisciplinary healing collaborative—and the visionary behind Unmuzzle Your Power Animal™, a somatic liberation program offered both online and through transformative in-person events.

Alejandro’s path is one forged through fire. After surviving a life-threatening chronic illness that left him incapacitated for over four years, he devoted himself to the deep healing practices of Unmuzzle Your Power Animal™, which would eventually restore his body, mind, and spirit. Through the integration of shamanic wisdom, somatic technologies, and trauma-informed coaching, he has guided hundreds of people through profound journeys of release, reclamation, and reawakening.

At Unmuzzle Your Power Animal™, Alejandro will lead the arc of the evening ceremony—guiding the group into a state of collective presence and activating the night’s journey. His bioenergetics practice will open the gateway to the deeper layers of the nervous system, inviting stored emotional energy to move, be witnessed, and be transformed.

Diego Chavez is a digital media artist and creative technologist working at the intersection of code, sound, and spirit. Through real-time generative visuals and live-coded projections, he transforms light into a language of emotion—awakening the senses, guiding perception, and altering the atmosphere of the room.

Inspired by the emergent intelligence of nature, Diego crafts ambient visual worlds that unfold organically—never repeating, always evolving. His work is an invitation to experience technology not as a tool of disconnection, but as a mirror for inner stillness, awe, and the subtle rhythms of being.

At Unmuzzle Your Power Animal™, Diego will be weaving generative projection art into the entire event container, creating a dynamic field of visual storytelling that responds to the mood, music, and movement of the space in real time. This is code as ceremony—light as intelligence—art as atmosphere.
