What if the real world isn’t what we’ve been told it is?
What if the true magic of life is not found in escaping the world, but in seeing it as it truly is—alive, holy, and overflowing with mystery?
In her book, The Magic of the Real World, Kristina Wood invites you into a luminous remembrance of your sacred belonging to the Earth and to all of Creation. With unflinching clarity and lyrical reverence, she guides us to awaken our senses, restore our relationship with the Divine Mother, and reclaim our indigenous knowing—that we are not separate from the Earth, but of Her.
Drawing from decades of ceremonial experience with Indigenous peoples, Kristina shares soul-stirring stories, potent spiritual practices, and poetic reflections that open the door to an enchanted, interconnected cosmos. Here, even the trees and stones speak. The Morning Star becomes an altar. Every living being, a messenger of love.
Kristina’s book is both a radical prayer and a rallying cry—to step out of numbness and into intimacy with the world. It calls us to remember the ecstatic truth: we are beloved, we are powerful, and we are needed. Now more than ever.
If you've ever longed for a deeper connection with the Earth, the Divine, and your own radiant spirit—this course is for you.
Step into the stories that changed a life
and might just change yours.
What if the real magic of this world isn't lost—but simply waiting to be remembered?
Join author and spiritual guide Kristina Wood for a 7-week immersive journey through the wild, living wisdom of The Magic of the Real World—a book born of true mystical encounters with dolphins, angels, fairies, desert temples, mountains, the cosmos and Earth herself.
Each week, we’ll explore a different chapter from the book, guided by Kristina and a featured guest teacher. Together, we’ll read the poem, listen to the story in Kristina’s voice, reflect with our esteemed guest on its deeper meaning, and receive a guided meditation for integrating the transmission into our own lives. Then we can answer questions.
Through vivid stories and grounded practice, this course invites you into a deeper intimacy with the unseen rhythms shaping your life and the Earth around you.

John's vision quest and shamanic work began in the mid-1940's, after experiencing his first vision quest at the age of seven. Since the 1950's, John has guided thousands of people into the wilderness, sharing with them experiences and practices that cultivate a profound connection with Nature and, ultimately, Source Awareness. Over the years, many have sought his profound transmissions and powerful yet gentle Qigong teachings, T'ai Chi training, meditation practices, internal alchemy training, shamanic processes and Sacred Passage programs. John continues to live, explore and lead wilderness trainings in many of the Earth's wild and sacred places. Through Way of Nature, he offers Nature Quests, Sacred Passages, Advanced Awareness Trainings, as well as custom programs and retreats, for both individuals and groups.
John has pioneered for western civilization a unique, vital way of spiritual cultivation in Nature that ripens in a deep ecological experience of Communion with all species, and with Mother Earth herself. His training is deeply informed by direct teachings from many of the world's outstanding spiritual teachers and lineages. From this comprehensive background, John has created and essentialized a path of key principles and disciplines that flow from Universal Source. He calls this path the Way of Nature. From this path, John has developed the Twelve Guiding Principles of Natural Liberation, which naturally unfold as one experiences Way of Nature's foundational quest, Sacred Passage.
For John, and those who resonate with his teachings and principles, one can find the true Church, the Temple, and the Altar not in human constructs, but rather in pristine, unspoiled Nature that is found in bountiful ways in wilderness settings everywhere.

He studied with Maya Elder Vicente Martín for 17 years and continues to work with the Elders and Priests who are keeping the Maya Sacred Wisdom very much alive today.
He teaches us how to connect with the Maya Masters of Light who are still at the sacred sites ready to guide us today as in ancient times. Going to the source of the Maya knowledge: to the ceremonies, rituals, mantras, sacred books, pyramids, temples, stele, pottery, paintings, sculptures, and oral traditions that are available today, he finds the essence of their knowledge and then teaches it in a heart centered style that connects rapidly and profoundly with his students.
He is currently in contact with the Olmec-Maya Elders preparing for the Chickaban, a 52-year cycle of peace, 2027 - 2079.

I was led, step by step, over a number of years to leave Canada and move to Mexico. It was magical. Everything just fell into place. In 2001 I found myself in Merida, Yucatan, started a small tour company, met Miguel Angel Vergara and found my life’s purpose.
I have been channeling messages from Lady Zac Kuuk, a High Priestess from Palenque, for many years. I did not ask for this. She just showed up a little before 2012 and started talking to me. I was honored that she chose me. I came to realize with the honor came the responsibility to step into the Light and share her messages. It was, and still is, a humbling experience. She has guided me through some challenging times, always lighting my path, allowing me to expand my consciousness and find ways to share her teachings with others.
I created the Maya Wisdom Circle where members meet online weekly to receive messages or teachings from Lady Zac Kuuk. It has attracted a beautiful group of amazing people. I share the message, Miguel Angel comments on it, then we open it up for the group to share their thoughts or ask questions. I learn something new every week. Everyone is welcomed to join. Check the website for details. It has become an important part of my life.
I have been living in Merida for almost 25 years and still love it. And I am still working with Miguel Angel, creating sacred journeys, online teachings and nurturing the Maya Wisdom Circle. My life feels complete. I know there will be challenges ahead but also know I will have the guidance to move through them.
