ABOUT ME
It has been a long road to get to this moment where I can recognize without any guilt that I have lived many lives; for many years I was in conflict with all my knowledge and experiences, I was even criticized for dedicating myself to many things at the same time. It took me several years to recognize all the women I have been and to integrate them; in fact this website is a tribute in honor of all the women who have inhabited me to honor them and embrace them with all the love, because thanks to them I have lived and live every day in a frequency of total manifestation that has shown me the face of conscious happiness, that is why I always say that when death comes to me it will find me with a project on my work table in full gestation. I confess that it has not been rosy at all, rather in many stages it has been very dark, so much so that today as I cross the curve of my fifty-something years I wonder how I was able to achieve it and maintain joy, hope and faith. I married very young and became a mother of four children; A confusing stage with many ups and downs that made me mature suddenly and forced me to look for a direction to give my children what they needed for life. I came to the United States fleeing from my lack of experience and my need to find myself; during that time I lived through everything, abuse, illness, economic scarcity and above all a lot of desolation; however, each experience made me stronger and more resilient. It was then that, due to one of those strange things that life has, I found the Sacred Feminine and with it a powerful tool that made me wake up and go after my life purpose and the blessing that was assigned to me. I have accompanied hundreds of women over twenty-one years to live their evolutionary processes. I am a Mother, Grandmother, Shaman, Chef, Medicine Woman, Herbalist, Facilitator of women's circles, Holistic Therapist, Ritualist, Family Constellator, Writer and more... Now I am in full menopause and this new stage is the mastery of all the others, because it has given me the strength to set limits, leave the past behind and live the present with grace and even with a little humor. With the inspiration and experience of the golden woman that I have become, I have created the Magical Woman Spiritual School to continue accompanying, through teaching, women who are interested in training as magicians of the sacred feminine and the awakening of the magic that inhabits them. Thank you to all who have accompanied me on this journey and have trusted me to support them until they reach the sacred temple of their lives. You have been my great inspiration, Indhira Gratereaux Ciprián
The mother
Since I was very young, I wanted to be a mother, I think because of the need for affection and belonging that I had at that time, and although it happened by chance, to this day I have not experienced anything that fills my heart more than being the mother of my four children. They were very difficult times because I had neither the support, nor the awareness, nor the resources; however, I remember how I managed to create a strong bond of love with them that has lasted throughout the years and despite all the strong waves that have hit us during this time. Today, when I see them as adults and with their own children, I can realize that I left a mark on their hearts that surely contributes to their lives. I have to admit that I would have liked to do some different things, but at the same time I understand that the most important thing I gave them was the great love I feel for them. When it is my turn to leave this world, I want them to always have the assurance that their mother would be their mother again in all the lives they have to live.
The therapist
I discovered women's circles through illness and pain, and although my spiritual calling and my practice of it had already been on a journey, I can say that the circles marked a great initiation in my journey that revealed my purpose in life; being the companion of processes of hundreds of women during the last fifteen years of my life has shaped and formed me in many aspects, many of them think they have learned and received a lot from me; however, I have been the one who has learned the most from the processes of each one of those who have crossed the threshold of my existence. I have learned about listening, resilience, patience, love, faith, trust and many other things that have made me a woman rich in experiences; also accompanying others has healed me and every day gives me a motivation to continue on this path. Being a companion of life processes will always be a place where I can be present with love. I thank each and every one of the women who have trusted me and have allowed me to be part of their life processes.
The writer
I learned to write when I was very young, but my fascination with writing began when I started reading books, around the age of six, but it was not until my beloved Uncle-Dad gave me a book for my eighth birthday that my imagination took flight and I began to write my first notebook. I had an imagination rich in ideas and endless pranks that needed to be busy in order to calm down and writing little by little became that balm that to this day has that healing and calming effect on me that makes me fly to places like those I would like the reality of the world to be. In 2014, thanks to the motivation of a woman friend, I captured some of those notes in my first book “Gotitas de Rocío” with which I began my journey as a writer in a formal way; to this day I have written five books: Two motivational books, two lunar calendars and a novel-story; but in addition to that, writing has given me the good fortune to be a columnist in the digital magazines www.infomistico.com; www.quisqueyausa.com and contributing writer to the book agenda, “Mujer es Luna”; which has given me the opportunity to grow, learn, share with wonderful people and get to know another perspective of writing. I can say without fear of being wrong that writing is my balm of love.
The Pastry Chef
Inspired by my grandmother's love of cooking, I discovered a new passion in the culinary arts when I immigrated from my home country, the Dominican Republic, to the United States. For twenty years, it has been my sacred place where I lose myself and find myself at the same time, and the only place where I can be one hundred percent present. Now, I am excited to bring my love of desserts to the community of Huntsville, Alabama, and enrich the lives of residents with delicious flavors.
The woman of today
When I turned fifty, I began a new stage of transformation in which I discovered beautiful treasures that made me rethink all my convictions and delve into a new perspective of my life that made me make some important decisions to continue the journey. It was exactly like the process of gold through melting, surrender, and being subjected to excessive fire until reaching the refinement that has turned me into the golden woman that I am at this moment; fulfilled, happy, and ready to live the next stages of life with joy and grace.
