I have known Ahriana for many years. She was my Interfaith Ministry teacher and retreat leader when I went to Mexico with her. She is an inspiration. She is the wisest and most knowledgeable person I know about anything spiritual. She is kind and gently holds space for participants. She is a mentor and role model to me.
I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Ahriana in two different capacities — as a wisdom provider on her Sacred Menopause platform, and as a faculty member at Inn the Ground, where she coordinates the retreat programming. In both, I’ve watched her do what very few people can: hold space that is simultaneously deeply sacred and completely grounded.
Ahriana has a rare gift. She carries decades of ceremony and spiritual leadership — and none of it sits on a shelf. It moves through her, into the room, into the people around her. She makes the mystical feel accessible without ever making it small.
What I trust most about her as a collaborator is her integrity. She leads from genuine reverence — for the traditions she’s been entrusted with, for the people she serves, and for the work itself. That’s not something you can fake, and it’s exactly what retreat participants feel.
If you’re looking for someone to lead, co-create, or hold transformational space — Ahriana is the real thing.
