Our Vision

Ray & Nina Crist
The visionary founders of the Jaguar Path

The Jaguar Path is devoted to personal awakening and the art of conscious living. Rooted in the ancient Greek philosophy of Ef Zin—optimal living—our work draws from shamanic teachings and integrates timeless wisdom traditions with modern understanding.

Our trainings weave together practices from Ayurveda, Taoism, and Shamanism, alongside insights from science, to support deep healing, personal evolution, and a more refined way of engaging with life. Through this path, individuals are guided to awaken their inner potential, restore balance, and live with greater clarity, vitality, and purpose.

Our Mission

The Jaguar Path is a transformational journey dedicated to awakening the full potential within each individual. Rooted in ancient wisdom and brought into a modern, embodied practice, it offers a direct path to healing, clarity, and authentic living. At its core, the Jaguar Path teaches that every person carries an innate intelligence—a spark of awareness and power—that, when activated, allows us to move beyond limitation and into a life of purpose and vitality.

Through practices drawn from shamanism, energy work, and conscious movement, participants learn to release old patterns, restore balance to the body and mind, and reconnect with deeper guidance. The work is experiential, not theoretical—inviting each person to feel, sense, and remember their true nature.

The mission of the Jaguar Path is to guide individuals into a state of alignment where they can navigate life with presence, resilience, and trust. It is about stepping out of survival and into a way of being that is grounded, awake, and fully engaged.

Ultimately, the Jaguar Path is an initiation into living differently—where clarity replaces confusion, energy replaces fatigue, and each step forward is guided by a deeper connection to self, nature, and the unseen forces that support our evolution.

Who We Are

Established in 2007, the Jaguar Path School of Modern Shamanism & the Science of Healing offers a refined and immersive journey into the art of transformation. Bridging ancient shamanic traditions with modern integrative practices, the school provides a sophisticated path for those seeking depth, clarity, and authentic alignment.

Under the guidance of internationally respected teachers Ray and Nina Crist, each experience—whether retreat, training, or certification—is designed to cultivate mastery of the self. In collaboration with Q’ero elder shamans from Peru, participants are initiated into a living tradition of healing, awakening, and embodied wisdom.

The flagship nine-month practitioner training weaves together shamanism, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Yoga, and Tai Chi, offering a comprehensive and elegant approach to whole-being development—supporting individuals to lead, heal, and live with presence and purpose.
