Ayni, the Living Energy of Balanced Relationship : June News from Eva Tree & Tree Star Health


Anyi : June 2026 Newsletter

Dear Reader,

How are you giving and receiving in your life today?

Cosmic law shows us that nothing goes only one way. Sacred reciprocity is the practice of bringing consciousness to how we give and receive, and how we bring that energetic relationship into balance and right action.

This month, we are exploring Ayni: the living energy of balanced relationship.

Ayni is a profound, nuanced, and powerful concept from Andean wisdom traditions. It can be understood as sacred reciprocity: the living exchange of energy with all of life.

If this inquiry speaks to you, I warmly invite you to join our upcoming monthly gathering, read on for new ways to engage with Voice Alchemy and retreat work, and help celebrate Shamans Directory’s five-year birthday.


Monthly Gathering: Ayni, the Living Energy of Balanced Relationship

Monthly Theme: Ayni, the Living Energy of Balanced Relationship
Date: Wednesday, June 17, 2026, 5:00 PM PDT
Inquiry: How can we restore balance and abundance in our lives?

If you want support in navigating the fiery energies of these times, bringing focused rest to your intentions, and allowing your manifestation cycle to be amplified by the Solstice, please join our upcoming Allyu gathering.

Ayni is often translated as sacred reciprocity, but it is much more than a concept. It is a way of living in conscious relationship with the seen and unseen world.

In its simplest form, Ayni can be understood through the gift of receiving our first breath of life, and giving that breath back when our cycle on Earth is complete. In between, every breath gives us an opportunity to be in right relationship with the miracle of life.

As Andean priests practice it in Peru, Ayni is not transactional. It is an energetic exchange between all of the human family, the animals, the plant kingdom, Pachamama Mother Earth, her elementals, the great holy mountain spirits, and the living waters of the oceans, lakes, and rivers that sustain life on this planet.

Ayni is what keeps life alive.

Breath exchanges oxygen.
The heart exchanges blood.
Relationships exchange presence.
Money exchanges value.

When giving and receiving are blocked, hucha — stagnation or heavy energy — can appear. When exchange flows, vitality returns.

This is why, when you are generous, you give what you have with presence. And when it is time to receive, you can take what arrives with openness.

Energy in motion is life expressing itself.


Voice Alchemy

Voice Alchemy continues to evolve, and it has become a deep passion of mine.

This work brings together over two decades of experience as a professional singer, two recorded albums, and my path as a Misa carrier. It is also a deep exploration of the power of Ayni as it moves through us as the living energy of expression.

Voice Alchemy welcomes the voice as a beloved guest: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Through song, prayer, frequency, tone, and the elixir essence of sound, we explore the voice as a pathway for healing, embodiment, and sacred relationship.

If you are interested in exploring Voice Alchemy, please reach out.

Shamans Directory Turns Five

It has been a profound honor to be part of Shamans Directory over the past several years. Through this community, I have met remarkable teachers, wisdom keepers, shamanic practitioners, Indigenous elders, and beautiful soul family from around the globe.

Shamans Directory was created as a gathering place to make shamanic and earth-based wisdom traditions, healings, and teachings more available and accessible during this time of profound transformation.

This month, Shamans Directory is launching its first fundraising campaign to support the next phase of growth, including a new online platform and expanded programs for the years ahead.

If Shamans Directory has touched your life, inspired your path, or supported your healing journey, please consider contributing at whatever level feels comfortable. If a financial contribution is not possible, simply sharing the campaign is deeply appreciated.

One Fire. Many Traditions.
Together, we are powerful medicine.

Summer Hours and Offerings

I will be taking July and August off so that I may cherish this last summer with my kids before they head to university.

During this sabbatical, I will also be reconfiguring my offerings. Beginning in September, I will be offering one-on-one work from my home studio instead of the downtown sanctuary space.

Mesa Munay mentorship, Voice Alchemy, and Shamanic Mentorship will continue throughout the summer, both in person at my home studio and online.

Thank you for your understanding, your support, and your continued presence in this living web of sacred relationship.

May this Solstice season bring balance to your giving and receiving, nourishment to your body and spirit, and renewed trust in the abundance that flows when we are in right relationship with life.

With Love and Gratitude,
