Krista is the visionary founder and minister of the Noya Rao Collective. A channel, ceremonialist, and spiritual guide, she carries the teachings of Noya Rao with clarity, reverence, and devotion.

During a sacred dieta in the Amazon, Krista received direct guidance from Noya Rao that inspired the creation of the Deep Immersion program. This vision—of making the tree’s wisdom accessible to a wider community—continues to shape her ministry and the foundation of the Collective.

With a doctorate in East-West and a Masters in Transpersonal Psychology, Krista brings a unique synthesis of academic study and embodied spiritual practice. Over the last 14 years, she has apprenticed deeply in the Shipibo tradition and walked closely with Noya Rao as her primary teacher and guide.

Krista’s ministry integrates ancient wisdom with Western understanding to support spiritual awakening and alignment with the Divine.

Her offerings include:

• Spiritual counseling and pastoral care

• Spiritual guidance and accompaniment on the path of Noya Rao

• Sacred transmissions, blessings, and clearings

• Mentorship and ministerial formation for those called to serve

Brett Jackson is a ceremonial facilitator, apprentice, and devoted guardian within the Noya Rao Collective, walking the sacred path with reverence, precision, and heart. In apprenticeship within the Shipibo lineage under the mentorship of Alex and Krista, Brett has committed years to dieta with Noya Rao, the Tree of Light—entering silence, receiving teachings, and learning to carry and protect the frequency of this rare and luminous tradition.

In ceremony, Brett serves as a grounded presence and intuitive guide—supporting participants in their spiritual journeys through steadiness, deep listening, and devotion. As a seer and channel, he helps illuminate what longs to be acknowledged in prayer. As a protector and bridge, he holds strong boundaries, working in communion with higher realms and the Earth to create a safe and sacred container for worship and transformation.

His ceremonial role is rooted in respect for the traditions that have shaped him and the lineage that continues to guide him. His strength lies in his ability to merge disciplined structure with intuitive flow, offering guidance that is both anchored and attuned.

Before this path, Brett lived another form of initiation—playing Major League Baseball, pursuing excellence and recognition on the world stage. That life taught him presence, endurance, and discipline—and ultimately led him to seek a deeper, inner victory rooted in Spirit.

A Kriyaban of the Self-Realization Fellowship, a chajin of the Global Tea Hut lineage, and a channel of Elohim and archangelic intelligence, Brett weaves together ancient practices and divine transmissions while remaining rooted in the simplicity of Earth-based devotion.

He lives in Laguna Beach, California, with his wife and son, where he stewards The Lighthouse, a home temple devoted to prayer, ceremony, and spiritual remembrance. As a father and householder, Brett integrates this path in the heart of everyday life—walking with integrity, humility, and a prayer to be of service to the proliferation of light.
