At Ewassa our mission is to help facilitate deep soul healing so that you can thrive in today’s world. Our work is grounded in the elemental cycles and practical wisdom of nature, and guided by a South American medicine wheel framework.
We believe that the physical world is just one aspect of reality, and deeper healing requires us to engage with the unseen realms of energy. The energetic domains encompass everything from our intentions, motivations, memories, emotions, beliefs and desires– to imprints from trauma, unhealthy relationship bonds, rejected parts of self, intrusive energies, and positive or negative ancestral influences. The unseen realms also host allies and guides who are more than happy to support us, including angels, spirit guides, ancestors, and powerful elemental forces of nature.
To help faciltiate your healing and re-connection, we offer online courses, live ceremonies, events and classes, shamanic journeys, individual one-on-one energy healing, and more.
Our Forest Sanctuary
Ewassa is located in Evergreen, Colorado in the forested mountain foothills just west of Denver. The 15-acre property is just a 20-min drive from the junction of highways 470 and 285, and adjoins a little-known Denver Mountain Park to offer miles of uninterrupted nature trails perfect for vision quests.
We have a ceremonial tipi and outdoor spaces for gathering scattered throughout the property, where we conduct workshops, shamanic journeys and ceremonies related to the healing aspects of Fire, Earth, Water and Air. Most events are held during the summer months from June through September.
Liz Beachy Gómez
Elizabeth (Liz) Beachy Gómez founded Ewassa in 2017, as a space to reconnect deeply with nature on a spiritual level. She is the author of the book From the Depths of Creation: A Nature-Based Path to Healing, and a certified Energy Medicine Practitioner trained in Andean (Q’ero) shamanic healing practices.
In her earlier adulthood Liz spent 10+ years overseas working in the field of public health (West Africa, Haiti, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Central America). In each of the places she lived, she also sought out opportunities to work with or observe traditional medicine men and women in their healing practices. Her observations through the lens of multiple cultures as well as her own personal healing journey have helped inform her practice today.
In 1998, Liz began practicing a Brazilian spiritual tradition rooted in the natural world and the four elements. She was initiated as a daughter of Iemanjá (the ocean) in Brazil in 2003 and has since conducted a wide variety of nature-based healing ceremonies both in the US and overseas.
We invite you to read about Liz in the magazine Yoga + LIFE or check out a recent in-depth interview with her in Mystic Mag.
Liz has an undergraduate degree in psychology and anthropology, and a Master of Health Sciences (MHS) degree in public health from the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health. She is deeply committed to honoring and living in balance with the earth.
Fluent in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, she offers interviews, healing sessions, workshops or group ceremonies in any of these four languages.
Origins of “Ewassa”
The name Ewassa comes from a nature-based Brazilian spiritual tradition that Liz has practiced for many years, where it is spoken to recognize and honor the Orixá or energy of healing, Ossãe. After speaking the salutation for Ossãe, the response is “ewassa“. The name Ewassa was chosen to honor the powerful healing energy that resides in nature and within ourselves.
