From an early age, Liv Wheeler felt a deep sense of connection to the unseen world. Her journey into spiritual awakening began around the age of 20 when she started receiving intuitive messages from her ancestor—her grandmother. These whispers from beyond were not mere coincidences but rather guiding forces that led her on a profound quest to discover her soul’s purpose.

Determined to understand these messages, Liv relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area, where she immersed herself in various healing practices. She began studying reiki, huna energy healing, acupressure, and other healing arts. With a relentless curiosity about the body’s ability to heal, she explored multiple modalities, expanding her understanding of both the physical and spiritual dimensions of wellness.

Her path was not always easy. The process of awakening often requires confronting deep truths, shedding layers of self-doubt, and embracing vulnerability. Through yoga—an integral part of her practice since her early twenties—Liv found a sense of grounding. Completing a yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India, she further deepened her connection to movement, breathwork, and spiritual discipline. Her practices provided her with the clarity and strength she needed to step fully into her role as a healer and spiritual leader.

Walking the Path of Initiation: Lessons from Africa and the Spirit World

Liv Wheeler’s spiritual journey took her beyond the Western world into the heart of Africa, where she studied under Malidoma Patrice Somé, an elder of the Dagara Tribe of Burkina Faso. For eight years, she apprenticed under his mentorship, learning the sacred ways of the Dagara people.

Malidoma recognized something in Liv that even she had not yet fully embraced—her role as a ritual facilitator and leader. Through various kontomblè initiations, Liv connected with the wee folk—beings of the earth realm known in different traditions as elves, gnomes, and fairies. These beings are considered spiritual guides, aiding humans in their understanding of the natural world and their own divine path.

Liv’s journeys to Burkina Faso were life-changing. Encouraged by Malidoma to deepen her initiations, she traveled there five times, undergoing spiritual transformations that would shape her role in the world. Through these experiences, she learned that healing is not only about the individual—it is about the community. She realized the importance of ritual in bringing people together, healing ancestral wounds, and fostering a collective sense of belonging.

Quote from Liv:
My work with the ancestors and the kontomblè transforms the way I guide others in their healing journey from moment to moment because when I’m with a person I’m hearing guidance from the otherworld. The ancestors speak to me about the specific needs of the soul at that point in time. Souls are so unique and when we can honor them in their unique complexity great healing potential activates. It inspires me daily!
