Ryan Ballard, also known as the Dreaming Jaguar, is an experienced teacher, professional artist, well-seasoned world traveler and adventure guide in both the terrestrial and spiritual realms. In 2018, he experienced a spiritual awakening after many lifetimes of preparatory development. This awakening was triggered by an intense series of transformative changes, which led to a profound initiation into the mysteries of Kali and deep devotion to the Sacred Medicine Path. Ryan engages in ongoing training with Master Shamans in the jungles of South America and remains endlessly curious and eternally humble. He carries and shares a unique synthesis of traditional Shamanism and Shaktism, with a focus on self-inquiry, direct mystical experience and radical liberation. His ceremonial work is intuitive, creative and heart-centered.
