Our Teachers
Esther Miriam Jenkins- Founder & Director
Our Visionary Founder and principal teacher Esther Miriam Jenkins started teaching the Metaphysical and Occult Arts in 1965. During the 1990’s, she traveled to Peru where she met and studied with indigenous spiritual leaders, the “ Pacos" who are the carriers of the ancient Andean wisdom. She discovered that the Andean tradition of shamanism was a healing path that was practical, inclusive, and powerfully transformative. Most importantly Peruvian shamanism contained universal mystical teachings found all over the world, that provide a solid foundation for a healing or teaching practice. Esther was so powerfully impacted by these experiences, that she turned her full attention to teaching Peruvian Shamanism so that others could experience the deep healing and sense of purpose it provides.
After 10 years of successfully teaching Shamanic Workshops to hundreds of people, The School for the Shamanic Arts was founded in the year 2000.
Esther Miriam is currently facilitating the Pompamesayoq and Altomesayoq Ayllu's at the school.
