Hi everyone, I’m Chelsea Rodriguez Ashanga—founder of Waya Soul Weaver and Pantera Wasi, a Medicine Woman and Quantum Facilitator supporting others through preparation, integration, and deep transformation.

My journey began in 2019, when I embarked on a six-week backpacking trip through Peru, unknowingly stepping onto a path that would reshape my entire existence. That journey sparked something deep within me—a longing to reconnect with my soul’s purpose.

As the world slowed down during COVID, I turned inward, diving into self-development and the desire to truly better myself. This led me to Reiki, a practice that became a gateway to understanding myself on a profound spiritual level. Through this work, I eventually became a Reiki Master. But along the way, I uncovered another truth—I was a medium.

Embracing my mediumship abilities, I trained under Audrey Sloan, learning to refine my gifts, understand the messages I was receiving, and interpret the deeper meaning behind my dreams. This connection to the unseen eventually led me to Yagé—where everything shifted.

THE DESTRUCTION & REBIRTH OF SELF

After my first Yagé experience, I had a difficult time navigating life. Everything I once knew had to fall away so that I could be rebuilt into who I was truly meant to be.

It was during these early ceremonies that my light language activated—opening a channel of communication with the divine and the spirit realm. This became a powerful tool for healing and connection, and it continues to be an important part of my work.

But with that opening came deep confusion.

I felt lost. Alone. Like no one around me understood what I was going through. There were moments I felt disconnected from reality, questioning everything.

In that space, I chose to surrender.

I surrendered fully to God, trusting that even in the uncertainty, I was being guided. That surrender led me to soul family—others who had activated their light language, people who could meet me in that space and reflect back what I was experiencing.

During this time, I was also guided into Kundalini Activation Process (KAP), where my understanding of life force energy deepened. It was there I met others who spoke light language, and for the first time, I didn’t feel alone in it.

DEVOTION TO THE PATH

From there, my path became one of discipline.

I began working deeply with the medicine—committing to dietas, daily practices, and energetic clearing. I worked consistently with Hapé and Sananga, and began holding space for myself through microdosing and intentional ceremony.

I made a commitment to sit with Yagé as often as I could, returning to the medicine year after year, allowing it to guide and shape me.

I understand that the way I walk this path may feel intense to some—but this is what I am called to. I am deeply connected to this work, and I also honor when integration is needed.

This devotion eventually led me to the Amazon, where I sat in ceremony with Querubín Queta and his family on their land.

That moment was a homecoming.

I knew I was exactly where I was meant to be—learning, remembering, and walking alongside those who carry this tradition.

SERVICE & COMMITMENT

From that point forward, my path expanded beyond my own healing.

I made a commitment to the medicine and to the Amazon—to support in whatever way I could. This led me to become an ambassador for reforestation and awareness, advocating for the protection of the Amazon and the preservation of Indigenous wisdom and traditions.

This work is not just personal.
It is about honoring and protecting the source.

GUIDED BY THE MEDICINE

Through my continued work with Yagé, I was guided into a new role—supporting others on their path.

I began helping people prepare for ceremony, understanding that preparation is not just physical—it is mental, emotional, and energetic.

And just as importantly, I began guiding integration.

Because the truth is—the ceremony is only the beginning.

Without integration, the depth of what is experienced can be overwhelming or lost. I help people understand what they experienced, and how to bring that wisdom into their everyday lives in a grounded, embodied way.

This includes tools such as journaling, meditation, energy work, and intentional lifestyle shifts—so the transformation becomes something lived, not just experienced.

THE BIRTH OF WAYA

At a certain point, I outgrew my former identity.

“The Starseed Medium” no longer felt aligned with who I had become.

During ceremony, my Cherokee ancestors gifted me the name Waya, meaning wolf—a symbol of intuition, transformation, and the one who walks between worlds.

Waya Soul Weaver was born from that.

A space for weaving fragmented parts of the self back into wholeness.
A space for navigating death and rebirth.
A space for returning to truth.

PANTERA WASI

I am the co-founder of Pantera Wasi, an Indigenous-led Yagé retreat space rooted in traditional Amazonian medicine.

This path is not always easy.
But it is real.

Let’s weave the fragments home together. 🐺🪡
