We believe in the importance of fostering and supporting loving, open-hearted community. Joining together with people who are on similar paths not only supports us on our paths, but it is a rich and important component of integrating the transformational work we are doing together. Community also helps us in our everyday lives to create meaning and purpose for our selves and for all those whose lives we touch.
We are dedicated to offering events and opportunities not only for personal transformation and spiritual growth, but for bringing people together, from sacred ceremonies to social gatherings.
Those of us on the Hummingbird Circle team have spent many years dedicated to the work that we are now offering to others. This work has transformed us individually and has infinitely changed our lives for the better, and so our offer of service in this arena is an opportunity for us to give back and to share the benefits that we have received from this truly sacred, beautiful work.
It our deepest intention to hold and offer our work with the utmost integrity, humility, respect, honor, safety, sacredness, gratitude, grace, and love, not only for the work itself and for its presence, but for all those who choose to join us on this path.
As life on planet Earth forges ahead into a period of escalating global challenges, humanity is truly at a crossroads. It has become glaringly apparent that the only real solution is awakening and transformation on a global scale. The afflictions of our world are a reflection of the afflictions many of us carry inside. The only way global transformation can take place at a sustainable level is when realization and transformation happen at a deep, personal level for each of us, allowing us to remember who and what we truly are. This is the work in which we are focused: creating opportunities for individual healing, personal transformation, awakening, and spiritual growth.

Anu first experienced sacred ceremonies in 2007 in the Peruvian Amazon jungle and thereafter continued his regular, personal ceremonial work for many years. The unparalleled transformational nature of sacred ceremonial work led him on a clear path to begin training in 2017 to become a sacred ceremony minister/facilitator. He apprenticed in sacred ceremonies for three years and then began serving as an ordained sacred ceremony minister/facilitator in 2020. In 2021, he studied curanderismo and vegetalista practices with the indigenous Shipibo-Konibo people in the Peruvian Amazon jungle. That same year, he also trained in somatic integration and subsequently became a certified somatic integration guide for Peru's AYA Healing Retreats.
Anu's background includes a wide range of experiences, study, and training in the realms of wellness, spirituality, and personal transformation. He has studied at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) and The Foundation for Shamanic Studies. As a breathwork practitioner, he completed the full, comprehensive, five-week training in Clarity Breathwork in early 2020 and has been offering breathwork in-person and online to individuals and groups since then. As an energy healer, he became an Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Master and Teacher in 2017 and has also trained in InterGalactics Healing and Vortex Divine Energy Healing. Anu has also studied and trained in Ancestral Lineage Healing (with Daniel Foor), sound healing (at The Globe Institute), dream work (at CIIS), Somatic Experiencing (with Peter Levine), out-of-body experiences (at the Monroe Institute and the International Academy of Consciousness), Yoga of the Voice (with Silvia Nakkach), mediumship, and channeling. In the realm of realized intuitive gifts, Anu is claircognizant, clairaudient, clairsentient, and clairvoyant (note: everyone has access to these "gifts" within themselves!).
In the realms of human potential and spiritual awakening, Anu has studied with Christopher Bache, Neale Donald Walsch, Jean Houston, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Christian de la Huerta, Hunter Flournoy, Adyashanti, Spirit Rock Meditation Center, Landmark Education, Self Realization Fellowship, the Mankind Project, Authentic Relating, and Radical Aliveness. Luminaries whose work has been prominent on Anu's path include Paramahansa Yogananda, Ramana Maharshi, Eckhart Tolle, Pema Chödrön, Ram Dass, Gangaji, Byron Katie, Michael Newton, Seth, and Abraham-Hicks.

After decades of ritual training, inner work, meditation, and therapy, Amrita attended her first sacred ceremony in 2012. That ceremony was life changing and led Amrita to live on Kauai for the next 5 years where she dove deeply into the path of sacred ceremonial work. On Kauai, she apprenticed with a shamanic ceremony leader for 5 years. In 2017 she began to lead her own circles with a focus on women’s circles on Kauai and in California. She has been working with Anu since 2024 and greatly enjoys crafting a rich tapestry of healing and awakening in sacred space with him.
While on Kauai, Amrita also joined the Santo Daime Church where she participated in many church works for about 10 years on Kauai, on the Big Island of Hawaii and in California and Oregon. While she is not currently actively involved in the Santo Daime Church, she carries the healing and lessons learned there in her heart and soul.
During her time and work on Kauai, Amrita received extensive guardianship training alongside deep personal healing. In fact, it was after the first ceremony she attended in 2012 that her intensive journey into personal healing began. Amrita’s healing process involved unravelling lifetimes of stuck and unexpressed energies that were, in this current life, ready for liberation. The process of awakening is never ending and she is actively involved in her own spiritual unfolding through her participation in sacred ceremonies along with her other spiritual practices of silent meditation and Bhakti Yoga (the yoga of devotion). Amrita loves nothing more than to be of service to others in sacred ceremony as she has received so much from it herself.
Amrita brings decades of spiritual practice and ritual training to sacred ceremony. Some of her spiritual guides include Gangaji, Sri Mātā Amritānandamayī Devi, and Adyashanti. Her ritual training over the years includes a year long immersion in Dagara Cosmology in Malidoma and Sobonfu Some’s Ritual Healing Village, and a year long deep dive into Earth based spirituality with Cerridwen Fallingstar.
In addition, Amrita is a Certified Mandala Healing Facilitator as taught by Judith Cornell, PhD aka Ragita Sivananda. She also completed a year long study in the Yoga of Sound with Russill Paul, and completed a year long study in the Medicine of Your Voice with Bettina Maureenji. She is currently studying raga singing and Vedic chanting with Russill Paul and continues her work with Bettina Maureenji. She experiences singing as a prayer and loves to share her voice in sacred space. So that she may better serve the community, Amrita is also currently immersed in a Trauma Informed Ceremony Facilitation course taught by Atira Tan.
As a visual artist, Amrita has experienced first hand the value of the art process in integrating powerfully expansive states of consciousness. She currently offers a collage art process for those interested in exploring and unpacking such experiences.
