Ohki's Life Walk
Ohki Siminé Forest is a vision-holder and spiritual teacher of Canadian Mohawk descent who has lived in Chiapas, Mexico since 1986 where she works with the impoverished Maya people. Trained and initiated by Maya, Mongolian and Canadian shamans, Ohki has taught a unified practice of ancient Native Medicine Wheel ways for over 25 years. Her transformative seminars include guided meditations, journeys, drumming, breathing and movement practices. She shows how to walk your path as a True Human, teaches how to use the Medicine Wheel as a map of understanding, and provides guidance in the spirit world.
When Ohki was a small baby a fireball fell on her family´s house, a great sign to the medicine people who eventually taught her that she was to be initiated into the ways of shamans. In her adolescence, Ohki pursued her spiritual journey by traveling to Asia where she studied with shamans from different traditions. In 1984, she returned to the Mohawk people in Canada and was admitted for this period of her life into the Wolf Clan at the traditional Long House of Kahnawake, part of the League of Peace of the Iroquois Nations. In 1986, following the signs of her path, she traveled to Chiapas in southern Mexico where she continues to live, and was initiated into the world of Maya shamans. In 1987 she founded a grassroots social justice and spiritual organization in Chiapas to support the indigenous Maya people in their struggle for autonomy, respect for their traditional way of life, and for spiritual training in the ancient Maya Ways. Ohki's vision is the return of the ancient laws of Earth through which all peoples can reclaim and renew the natural dignity, balance and justice that is the true dreaming of our sacred Earth.
Manifesting the Ancient Council Ways
Ohki visits North America regularly to lead retreats, spiritual warriorship trainings, and to speak at conferences. In recent years she has presented at the Bioneers Conferences in San Rafael, California, the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, Denver University, Colorado College, Southwestern College, the first Indigenous Seed Sovereignty Conference at Tesuque Pueblo in New Mexico, the Vedanta Centre in Cohasset, MA, and Beaming Bioneers in Santa Fe where her humility, practical wisdom and deep knowledge of these sacred Earth Ways has brought inspiration to thousands.
