Gretchen Andersen & Ana Gonzalez
 

Gretchen Andersen and Ana Gonzalez have been teaching in Mexico and other parts of the world for nearly 30 years. During this time they have researched, studied and practiced multi-disciplinary paths of healing and spiritual development for growth in consciousness and energy management.

They are both passionate about the discovery and exploration of the many Sacred Sites around the world. In most recent years they have traveled extensively to Israel, France, Ireland and Scotland with Dr. Carlos de Leon. These profound magical experiences have brought them both to a deeper understanding of the powerful work to be done in these places of sacred connection, to assist the healing of ourselves and our planet.

In the field of Shamanism, they have studied with prominent teachers such as Carlos Castenada and Carlos de Leon, and trained in meditation techniques from the Tibetan schools of Dzoggchen, Mahamudra, Tantric Shaivism, Kabbalah and High Magic. They have also studied with Chinese Masters in Martial Arts and Chi Kung, and they both practice and teach a sequential plan of Chi Kung, the 7 Lotus Form.

Gretchen and Ana are Psychotherapeutic Body Workers trained in Psycho-Energetics Therapies, Postural Integrations, and Hypnosis, and are members of the Ontogonic School of Psychotherapy.
