Doña Eugenia Pineda Casimiro
Thursday, June 23, 2022
This course is taught in the faculty’s native Spanish with English captions.
You also have the option to watch and listen with dubbed spoken English.
Discover and begin to walk a path of profound emotional healing and the restoration of your heart’s capacity to transmute fear, disconnection, depression, and anxiety into a grounded sense of hope and purpose — helping you express your deepest potential in your life, family, and community.
In these times, where people are feeling lost and disconnected in countless ways, many of us have become passionately committed to reclaiming healthy and thriving lives for ourselves — and we’re eager to embrace unconventional approaches to do so.
You may be drawn to, or might have participated in, what many are calling the Psychedelic Renaissance. Modern psychology is discovering that ancient plant medicine traditions have profound potential for the deepest level of healing emotions, traumas, and memories.
Join us in an alchemical journey through the elements and the emotions, under the ancient wisdom of mushroom medicine as a benevolent guiding hand that will help you to relate to this Indigenous wisdom that merges concepts of emotional intelligence, psychology, choice, and trauma healing.

PLUS: Psychedelic Healing Integration Package
7-Part Video Series From the Psychedelic Healing Summit
In this unique supplemental Psychedelic Healing Integration Package resource, we’re offering a sampling of integration modalities to participants of this course to help launch the process of finding the best practices for you — and discover how to connect the power of Eugenia’s teachings to your life.
Psychedelic healing is often described as consisting of three adjoining and concentric zones of concern: the preparation for the experience, the experience itself, and the consequent and ongoing integration of the experience.
Integration is often viewed as the most significant zone with the idea that you develop practices to actually improve your life. It is ultimately deeply personal and there are many modalities, many of which we already share here at Shift.
These are current voices on this timely topic, sharing their deep brilliance and warm hearts in last month’s Psychedelic Healing Summit...

Explore a cornerstone of mindfulness by learning to immerse yourself and be healed by nature
Many of us find ourselves in a state of internal chaos or disconnection — and therefore those are often the seeds we sow in our lives.
We want to reclaim our connection to family — and healthy family values. We want to reclaim our connection to the natural world. We want to reclaim our very souls from the ravages of superficial materialism.
Emotional stagnation is also at the root of many major physical diseases. When we deny our emotions, we are left disconnected from the most genuine part of our beings.
But, we are not without options, if we truly seek to liberate the wisdom of our hearts for emotional and physical healing.
Exploring emotions through the context of the natural elements and working consciously with natural medicines amplifies your heart’s capacity to know truth and connects you to your vitalizing internal energy — unlocking key parts of your own wellbeing.
One of the most powerful natural medicines for emotional healing is the psilocybin mushroom — counting close to 150 different species — which has been used in a shamanic context for thousands of years in Indigenous cultures throughout the world.
In modern times, the use of these mushrooms surged when Americans Gordon Wasson and Allan Richardson traveled to Mexico in the 1950s. There they met Mazateca curandera María Sabina, who shared the mushroom with them that is known to her people as Los Niños Santos, which means the holy children. This controversial yet ultimately historically profound event helped usher in a deep collective interest among modern seekers.
The Mazatec people live in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico, and they’re well known for their syncretic form of Christianity and Indigenous shamanism. In their most sacred rituals, psilocybin mushrooms and other powerful visionary plants are used to communicate with the spirit world, receive inspired messages of wisdom and hope, heal dis-ease, and experience the Divine.
Doña Eugenia Pineda Casimiro is a Mazateca healer from Huautla de Jiménez, Mexico, the little town in the region of Oaxaca that was brought to fame by María Sabina. Eugenia has taken on the mantle of her family lineage, as the daughter of Julieta Casimiro, one of the original International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers.
I Am Eugenia
We are deeply honored to have Eugenia here to share with you rituals and tools passed down to connect with the spirit of Los Niños Santos — as well as the elements and the emotions — on a pathway of exploration, healing, contemplation, and reflection.
This course is an invitation to practice and explore the bridge that exists between natural elements and our human emotions. These teachings are based on an Indigenous understanding of interrelatedness, where everything that happens in our external world is a reflection of our internal state of heart and mind — and vice versa.
You’ll connect with your emotional guidance system and begin to correlate your emotions with the course of the natural world. You’ll understand and embody the concepts of connection and interdependence. You’ll be able to organize your emotions, giving them a voice and a way to be honored.
When you uncover repressed emotions, you’ll rediscover the voice of your intuition.
The shamanic study of each natural element susses out specific expressions of the energy that animates and builds everything that is created by our Universal Mother. From the insects to the flowers, from the rocks to the trees, to humans and animals — we are all composed in different scales of these sacred elements: Water, Fire, Earth, and Air.
For the Mazatec Indigenous people, the study of these elements has never been a separate relationship or an isolated focus — because the work with these elements is in everyday life.
“Elements are an expression of who we are and how we behave,” says Eugenia. “The power of the elements also expresses the vulnerability of our existence. It is in relating to all the forces that constitute us, that we can find a true and honest relationship with the cosmos.”
Each element has a behavior — or maybe even a personality — the element expresses a condition and a way in which each particular energy moves. For example, water moves and finds a way through every blockage, sometimes can get stagnant, and that stagnation creates heaviness and debris. In that same way we can find that our emotions are energies that are in motion, living, and moving inside of our minds and thoughts.
For the first time, many who may never have otherwise considered it are receiving the invitation to merge with the mycelial network and receive the timeless wisdom carried by these sacred spores.

Module 1: The 4 Sacred Elements & the History of Mushrooms in the Mazatecan Culture (June 23)
In this opening week, you’ll discover the Mazatecan way in which elements interact in our daily lives as powerful forces of healing and guidance.
We’ll explore the history and the lineage of the mushroom altar, the connection as a holistic system of healing with the four elements, and the four sacred Mazatecan altar medicines. You’ll learn to discern your most dominant element — and what types of work, rituals, and offerings you can do to find balance, harmony, and beauty in the dance of each individual element.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- The reason the 4 sacred medicine elements help you perceive your most dominant emotions
- How the 4 elements are related to each other and the spirit of the mushrooms
- The way to call upon each element and why it’s crucial to ask permission to work with them
- How to create a space – through meditation – to feel and listen to the elements
- The historical Mazatecan relationship with mushrooms, and how to apply the beauty of this magical medicine to your own lineage
Module 2: Sacred Medicine of Earth — How Cacao Can Help Release Worry and Anxiety (June 30)
Earth is our beloved ground. Every rock and every piece of mountain is made of the ancient minerals of life that create fertile grounds for life to flourish.
In this module, we’ll explore how the earth elements hold us together as one, as well as the energy of gravity, which invites us to deepen our relationship to our ancestral roots.
You’ll be introduced to cacao medicine and learn how it relates to the element of earth — through its flavor, shape, and color. We’ll open a space of prayer and devotion for our Mother Earth — and commune with the emotion of agitation that emerges when we forget or disconnect from our own roots of existence.
Together with the cacao and the earth we’ll release some of the worry or anxiety that can build up in our emotional systems — particularly in our digestive systems and in our minds.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- How to work with the element of earth through cacao, and which emotions it represents
- The ways in which the earth element is expressed in your life and in your body
- The teachings of the cacao medicine, and how you can use it to release worry and ground yourself daily
- Why working with cacao through ritualized prayers is so powerful
- How to ask permission of earth’s spiritual people to guide us through our ritual
Module 3: Sacred Medicine of Water — Wash Away Fear & Sadness With the Magic of Flowered Water (July 7)
Water is the most clear and neutral source of life. It is through the waters in the womb of our mothers that we were born. Water is the most precious element for life on planet Earth — and when we internalize the beauty of water, we get in touch with the immense mystery of life itself.
We’ll be introduced to the flow of water and the movements of ease and relaxation. Eugenia will share a prayerful way of charging the water with healing and clearing energy. We’ll learn how water gives us the opportunity to wash away grief and sadness — as we surrender to its natural flow.
We’ll also create a special flower combination of water and flowers to bathe ourselves in a restorative, comforting ritual.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- The blessings of water, and how to create a new relationship with this element
- Why the flow of water is pivotal in opening your own emotional flow, and how it makes you feel secure
- How water listens to our prayers, and how those prayers move throughout your daily life
- Which suppressed emotions are associated with water, and how to create a daily water ritual to release them and renew hope
- How to work with water and flower petals to make an elemental medicine infusion — and use it in a guided meditation for healing yourself and others
Module 4: Sacred Medicine of Air — Cleaning the Mind & Invoking Peace With the Sacred Medicine of Copal (July 14)
The air that we breathe is the carrier of messages and life force for our destinies.
— Doña Eugenia
It is through air that all creatures are linked together in the biosphere of life. By exploring the air element, we’ll embark on a journey of change and possibility. When we enter into communion with this element of life, we’re invited to welcome it with an open heart and expansive lungs that can grasp the blessing of spirit.
We’ll explore how air is a vehicle for transformation, and how it exists in everything that’s animated in our world. We’ll learn how to study and observe the winds of change in our lives, getting a sense of when it’s important to listen to the wind — and also when it’s necesarry to protect ourselves from harmful winds. Through the sacred medicine copal (tree resin) we’ll work on our minds and our thoughts, discovering how the mind affects the way that we feel and relate to internal and external emotions.
Copal can serve as a medium to pray for peace within yourself. You’ll learn about the origins of this medicine, its ceremonial way of being used, how to clean your mind and thoughts, and how to clear and harmonize your physical spaces, such as your office or home.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- Air as the element that belongs to the sky, and how to interact with this element as a healer
- Where copal medicine comes from — and how it relates to air and creates alchemy in the physical space
- How the element of air relates to your mind and interacts with your emotions, and how to connect them through your breath
- How to create a copal ritual, and what it can do for your mental peace and clarity
- The way to ask for spiritual guidance and direction from the great mystery of the sky with a guided prayer
Module 5: Sacred Medicine of Fire — Lighting the Candle of Hope to Let Go of Anger & Resentment (July 21)
Fire represents the eternal flame of transformation and alchemy.
— Doña Eugenia
We’ll unite our hearts and our intentions to create a ritual of light and hope.
Together, through the light of the ceremonial candles, we’ll invoke the light of divine guidance into our lives, transforming old feelings of anger and resentment into a prayer of hope, kindness, and balance. Fire represents hope, giving us light in the dark times and helping guide our intentions and our visions into a more fulfilling realm of existence.
In this prayerful session, you’ll discover how to integrate ceremonial candles into your life — through setting devotional intentions when lighting and invoking the element of fire to illuminate your soul and our collective destiny.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- The energetics of fire — and how to activate this element through light in the ceremonial context
- Which emotions the fire element represents, and how the dynamics of anger and resentment are related to the joy of our hearts
- How to reconcile and renew your alliance with the light of the fire
- A technique for releasing negativity through self-empowerment

Module 6: Introduction to the Spirit of Los Niños Santos (The Holy Children) — Connecting Emotions to the Entire Cosmos (July 28)
We’ll explore how mushroom medicine opens the heart and unifies all the elements as one entity. We’ll work on the depths of our feeling by asking the spirit of Los Niños Santos for the miracle of healing and openness to the source of joy and contentment. We’ll connect to the energetics of nature and make our sacred offerings to all the elements as one holistic system of magic and alchemy.

- How to create a ceremonial space for the use of mushrooms
Module 7: Integration Ritual — Prayer to Our Universal Mother Tonantzintla (August 4)
After the ceremonial ritual of the four sacred elements, medicines, and mushrooms in our life’s altar, it’s time to integrate the power of the medicines through prayer and affirmation.
We’ll close our work and exploration by bringing tribute to our divine Mother Earth, Mother Tonanzintla, with a ritual known as the Mazatecan Rosary.
We’ll offer our work back to the womb of our Mother Earth, asking for her compassion and guidance with this new alliance created with the four elements. Finally, we’ll ask for the blessing of the four sacred elements so we can receive the guidance of this ancient wisdom for the rest of our lives.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- How to develop a prayer that calls for the spirit of our Divine Mother Earth
- When to close your work and ask for protection so that you can keep working with the 4 elements
- The specific techniques needed to solidify your mission together with your emotional wellbeing in relation to the harmonious dance of the elements

“I’ve never seen a course so well put together ever...”
I had never participated before in an online course. The packaging, presentation, inclusion, and Facebook postings created a wonderful, safe cocoon within which to participate.

The wealth of organization and ease of learning materials and support made this fun as well.
