Serene Ross Castellanos' path began in the hills of Pennsylvania, where her early life was defined by athletic excellence and an unshakable drive. In 1997, she entered Purdue University, becoming the American record holder in the javelin throw and earning a degree in Sociology and Organizational Leadership. But behind the achievements, her body bore the cost of relentless competition. A series of injuries became the first invitation from Spirit—ushering her toward the path of alternative healing, soul remembrance, and sacred transformation.
In 2007, Serene began formal studies in massage therapy and later pursued acupuncture at a graduate level in Albuquerque, New Mexico. After graduating in 2011, she opened her own clinic—Bluegrass Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture—where she began helping others heal physical pain. Yet, as her hands worked on bodies, her spirit listened deeper. She realized her calling extended beyond the physical—into the emotional, energetic, and spiritual realms of human experience.
Serene’s awakening began in 2002 when she met shamanic elder Phyllis Lane, who ceremonially named her Flying Hawk—a sacred transmission that reawakened ancient memory and reverence for earth medicine, especially the sentient wisdom of horses. Her connection to horses deepened over the years, as they became profound teachers and mirrors for emotional intelligence, presence, and energetic healing. In the round pen, Serene discovered how energy flows between human and animal, and how the magnetic field of the horse could harmonize trauma and transmute deep grief.
In 2020, the passing of her father shattered the constructs of her former life and became the turning point of her soul journey. Though she'd long studied spiritual wisdom, his death dropped her into the embodiment of it. Serene stepped away from societal structures and into solitude—journeying inward multiple times a day, unraveling ancestral pain, and rewiring the vibrational patterns that had shaped her identity. Her horse, once again, became her sacred mirror—guiding her to release, remember, and reawaken her true self.
This deep soul work led her to the difficult realization that she needed to leave her marriage. Honoring that truth became the next act of self-love and liberation. In the sacred space that followed, Serene emerged with a recalibrated resonance—aligned with her heart, her children, and her divine essence. In divine timing, she met her beloved husband Daniel. Their union is one of soul recognition and mutual healing, a return to each other across lifetimes. Together, they transmute ancestral pain through heart-centered vulnerability, truth, and sacred partnership.
Alongside her spiritual evolution, Serene has studied with renowned teachers like Sandra Ingerman, exploring the power of shamanic journeying and soul retrieval to alchemize trauma. She is also a devoted practitioner and teacher of Kundalini Yoga—using breath, movement, and meditation to bridge heaven and earth within the human form.
Today, Serene lives in Bagdad, Kentucky, where she raises her children and tends to the land with her husband. Her life is her practice. Her offerings are her medicine. Through deep presence and ancient remembrance, she holds space for others to heal, awaken, and remember the wholeness they’ve never lost.

Daniel Iván Castellanos was born and raised in the sacred mountains of Honduras, where his early life was deeply rooted in the rhythms of the land and the love of family. The son of a strong Spanish father and a wise Mayan mother, Daniel’s lineage is rich with cultural legacy, connection to nature, and ancestral wisdom. His childhood was spent tending the earth alongside his father, who was known for his deep and sacred bond with the natural world—speaking to plants and trees as if they were kin.
From the moment Daniel came into the world, his family sensed there was something different about him. He spoke in a language they didn’t recognize, as if he had come from another realm. His parents nurtured his innate gifts with love and devotion, but when Daniel was just seven years old, both passed away—an event that marked the beginning of his spiritual journey. His older sister Antonia stepped into the role of caregiver, guiding the family through grief with strength and grace. Her eventual passing, too, left a lasting impact on Daniel’s heart.
As the fifth of six siblings in a Catholic Christian family, Daniel developed a unique view of family and love that transcends cultural borders. The unity and resilience of his siblings shaped his understanding of connection and responsibility. At 13, he moved from the mountains to the city, separated from the land that had once been his sanctuary. In this new chapter of survival, Daniel began to seek deeper meaning. He turned inward, finding solace in the writings of Indian philosophers such as Krishnamurti and Alan Watts, and it was through this sacred seeking that he began to hear the voice of God in the silence of his own heart.
Over time, Daniel reconnected with the spiritual gifts that had lived quietly within him—his ability to listen deeply, feel the emotions of others, and hold space with profound compassion and presence. His first teachers were the village elders, and his greatest teachers were life, grief, and grace. With humility, he embraced the truth that all of life’s experiences—no matter how painful—carry purpose and the potential for transformation.
Today, Daniel teaches the path of the open heart. His presence is warm, grounded, and safe—inviting others to return to themselves, to spirit, and to the sacred intelligence of nature. He is passionate about healing, justice, and guiding others in aligning their heart and mind so they can live with authenticity, connection, and peace.
Daniel’s OfferingsThrough his work, Daniel invites others to awaken to their own inner wisdom and soul truth. His teachings include:
Daniel’s life is a living testament to resilience, transformation, and the power of love. His message is simple yet profound: align your heart with your mind, trust the universe, and let your life become a prayer of service, unity, and divine connection.
