Dolores Mannix,
Founder & Director, Earth Summit, LLC

Hello, and a warm welcome to Earth Summit, LLC! My personal journey and the creation of Earth Summit has many facets…as does the personal journey of each and every human being.

I have been interpreting, counseling and facilitating groups for 20 years, and have had the great honor to work with many people who have entrusted me with their communication, and blessed me with their love and friendship. I have sat with them, been a conduit for both their pain and ecstasy, and in return they have taught me about trust and how to listen with my heart. I am eternally grateful for each of them.

I have been privileged to study various cultural forms of shamanism over the years with many gifted teachers through my extensive travels to Ecuador and Peru, my participation in ongoing apprenticeship programs and workshops, and my role in organizing The Gathering of Wisdom Keepers at Omega Institute.

I have trained extensively with Quechua Andean indigenous healers, don Esteban Tamayo and Jorge Tamayo, and have been initiated into the Birdpeople Yachak circle in Ecuador. In addition, I have studied with Peruvian master don Theo Paredes, Author and founder of Dream Change Inc., John Perkins, and world renowned herbalist, Rosemary Gladstar.

My formal studies and work, as well as my life experiences, play an integral part in the expeditions, workshops, ceremonies and private sessions that I offer.

In reflecting upon the gifts and lessons of my personal journey, I am reminded of a childhood movie, "The Wizard of Oz." My life experiences, like those of Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow and the Lion, were at times joyous and wonderful, at times frightening and difficult. As we follow our path, we learn that, together, we can face our fears, share our joys and reclaim who we truly are – brilliant, courageous, compassionate beings with an innate ability to return "home."

I believe that true power, wisdom and Divine Love reside within each of us, that we are all brothers and sisters, interconnected with all living beings, including the rocks, plants and animals of Mother Earth. Earth Summit, LLC was established as a vehicle to bring forth teachings that foster spiritual development, and bring people together in community on our journey home to ourselves.

From my heart to yours,
Dolores
