Hello and Welcome
Dena Deglau, Ph.D.
Welcome to Munay Spiritual Arts. I consider it a great privilege to work with individuals and groups to help balance and restore harmony between the mind, body and spirit. I am a fully initiated Shaman trained in the Shamanic and ceremonial traditions of the Quechuan Inka (Inca) Medicine Lineage. During an initiation pilgrimage in Peru, I was bestowed my Paq'o Shaman name, Illaris Ch'aska (Morning Star).
I am also a Reiki Master Practitioner having received sacred attunements in the Usui Lineage.
My Story
Although I've had mystical experiences since I was a young child, my 3D life sent me on an incredible journey of discovery, walking very different paths throughout my life. I spent decades as a university professor, teacher and educational consultant.
During my mystical, experiential and formal training in the healing arts working with my mentors on the earth plan and spirit guides on the etheric plane, I began to understand my gifts and capacities to open and hold sacred space for people in an entirely different way. My spiritual calling as a shaman became too loud to ignore as opportunities to explore and train continued to arise. On a trip to Peru, I was bestowed my Quechuan Shaman name (Illaris Ch'aska). I was advised by one of my Pa'qo mentors, (Juan Nunez del Prado) that I was ready to the teach the sacred pathways to initiates in the US. During additional training, I was also gifted sacred Inka energy healing medicine to use in my personal healing practice.
Since sacred energy medicine can be used in a number of different ways, I have also been called to learn and be attuned to Reiki Master energy medicine and infuse this into my practice.
