Alchemitrix Cristina Trujillo

Alchemitrix Cristina Trujillo

Susun interviews Cristina Trujillo.
Cristina is an Alchemitrix, which signifies the ways she distills various lineages into her own platform (Phoenix House). These especially include the solar priestess lineage, sacred medicine work, and healing work with herbs and food. Responding to the needs of current times, she emphasizes the importance of integration, embodiment, and impeccability.
She is an adopted member of the Native American Church and is legally approved and protected by this ministry as a medicine woman and Sacrament carrier.
Cristina offers an impeccable container for ceremonial gatherings that honors authentic relationship, cultivates sacredness, and supports the restructuring of the cellular and light body matrix. Here, soul-family connection reignites. She also demystifies traditional practices that hold overlays unnecessary to our current times, bringing essential skills and inner navigation tools to help us all reconnect to our planet and embody our capacities as conscious co-creative beings.
In her individual session work with people, Cristina serves as an oracle, open and receptive to higher aspects of consciousness delivering what is transmitted. The specifics of this intimate and intuitive work is unknown until the precise moment arrives when questions, curiosities, and/or concerns lead us forward. Through this process, what no longer serves can be released and restored to greater Divine alignment.

Ageless Aging
with Mary Elizabeth Wakefield & Susun Weed

Learn how to treat your face using acupressure and acu-sound treatment points, using tuning forks, for beauty, health and longevity. Mary Elizabeth Wakefield, L. Ac., M. S., M. M., a licensed acupuncturist, and a professional classical musician, an expert in the field of facial acupuncture and Chinese medicine, will teach you useful exercises and self-treatments for toning sagging, droopy muscles, and for lessening lines and wrinkles.
Since the face is the most emotive part of the body, it acts as a mirror of its condition, reflecting its overall health and well-being. Any lines, wrinkles, and repetitive facial expressions reveal imbalances in the emotions, organs, and the meridians.
Ms. Wakefield will discuss the important principle of Chinese medicine which states that "The Shen (emotions/spirit) leads the Qi (the energy and movement of the facial muscles)".

Mary Elizabeth Wakefield has 30-plus years of clinical experience as a healing practitioner, and has personally trained close to 5,000 healthcare practitioners from 5 continents. She has contributed a column on facial acupuncture for 9 years to Acupuncture Today magazine, and her treatment protocols have been featured or highlighted in many prominent publications. She is the author of Constitutional Facial Acupuncture (Elsevier UK, 2014) and the co-author, with her partner, MichelAngelo, of the forthcoming book from Singing Dragon UK (Hachette), Vibrational Acupuncture: Integrating Tuning Forks with Needles (2019). Ms. Wakefield maintains a private practice on the Upper East side of Manhattan in New York City.
