Our Mission
Shakti Collective exists to co-create spaces of embodied spirituality, ritual arts, creative healing, and soulful transformation.
Rooted in the feminine principle of Shakti — the universal life force present in all beings — we bring together artists, guides, and healers from around the world to offer experiences that awaken inner truth, emotional depth, and embodied remembrance.
Our mission is to cultivate journeys that nourish the nervous system, honor cultural wisdom, and support personal transformation across borders.
We accompany individuals as they explore their inner landscapes, holding collaborative spaces that value presence, creativity, and the intelligence of the feminine — regardless of gender.
Shakti Collective is not a hierarchical organization, but a living network — a constellation of gifted individuals contributing their unique medicine to a shared field of healing, creativity, and embodied truth.
Our Vision
Our vision is to build an international ecosystem of facilitators — artists, healers, teachers, ceremonialists, and creative visionaries — who embody and honor the feminine principle of Shakti while offering transformative experiences across cultures and landscapes.
We envision Shakti Collective as:
• a global network of collaborators devoted to embodied spirituality, ritual arts, and creative expression
• a bridge between ancient wisdom traditions and modern healing arts
• a sanctuary for conscious travel, soulful retreats, and ceremonial journeys
• a meeting place where facilitators of all genders work in reverence to Shakti energy — intuition, creativity, embodiment, and sacred presence
• a community that leads through collaboration rather than hierarchy
• a constellation of offerings that inspire healing, remembrance, and inner truth
Ultimately, our vision is to help shape the future of embodied spirituality — one that elevates creative expression, honors diversity, and reawakens the sacred feminine as a guiding force for global healing.
Our Pilgrimages and Retreats
We believe in conscious travel as a force for spiritual growth and healing and as a means of positive social change.
We carefully design and lead spiritual journeys and pilgrimages to ancient and sacred locations across the planet, such as Egypt, focusing on offering the possibility to explore these fascinating sites and learn about the esoteric history and symbolism behind them.
The right travel experience can bring us incredible inspiration, awakening, and transformation.
We also believe that part of being a purposeful and awakened company is supporting the communities we interact with. Therefore, we aim to encourage global cultural exchange while contributing to sustainable development.
A functioning travel industry relies on the well-being of the community, businesses, and people.
THE FOUNDER
Hi, I’m Felicidad.
Founder of Shakti Collective and a guide in the evolving landscape of embodied spirituality.
I’m trained and certified in Therapeutic sound (The Center of Light Institute of Sound Healing and Shamanic Studies), a certified traditional Tantra Yoga Teacher (200 hours —Satya Loka Centre of traditional Yoga and Tantra), a certified Tantra embodiment facilitator (500 hours), a Reiki Practitioner, and I am presently in training with Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum, completing a certification as a Nurture Neuroscience Practitioner.
I am also a creative director with 12+ years of professional experience traveling the world as a photographer (felicidaddelucas.com), and I’m a lifelong dancer and songwriter.
But the truth is: these are only roles — ways I express my essence, not the essence itself. Who are we really, without our roles and identities?
Who I am beneath the roles
I was born to a Cuban–Spanish mother and a Ukrainian father. I spent the first years of my life between La Habana and Madrid, eventually settling in Madrid until I moved to California in 2009. After 16 years in Southern California, I now call Costa Rica home — a land that continues to root, soften, and expand my work.
Since I was a child, I’ve lived between worlds — between cultures, continents, and the realms of the seen and unseen. My family taught me that intuition is intelligence, that art is medicine, and that the soul remembers more than the mind ever will.
I grew up surrounded by creators, mystics, travelers, and healers.
My mother is a psychic and a fierce intuitive. My aunt — who would never call herself a shaman but undeniably is — first introduced me to the healing arts.
Their teachings shaped me long before I ever stepped into a training room.
I’ve always been drawn to ancient worlds, especially Kemet (Egypt). As a girl I hung papyrus on my bedroom walls; as a woman, I returned to the temples that felt like home and experienced profound activations that changed the trajectory of my life.

The Path That Shaped My Work
To widen my perspective on matters of the soul, I’ve spent many years traveling and studying the healing arts, ancient cultures, Eastern philosophies, astrology, past-life remembrance, and esoteric and shamanic practices. I learned early that the deeper you want to go, the more you must risk, surrender, and trust.
Over the past 13 years, life has expanded me in ways I could never have anticipated.
I moved alone to a new country and learned to speak a new language.
I traveled through more than 30 countries, learning from diverse cultures, philosophies, and traditions.
I overcame a severe illness that lasted for years.
I lived through loss, heartbreak, and several “dark nights of the soul.”
And I also found great love and became a mother.
Every one of these initiations — the beautiful ones and the difficult ones — has deepened my path into self-knowledge, energy medicine, and embodied spirituality. They taught me that transformation is not something we understand with the mind — it is something we live through the body.
“The wound is the place where the light gets in.” — Rumi
And as I continue to explore this world, I remain humbled by the endless ways that inspiration, wisdom, and growth arrive with every journey.
What inspired SHAKTI COLLECTIVE?
2019 and 2020 were pivotal years for me — years of profound unraveling and profound awakening. Everything familiar dissolved: identity, stability, roles, beliefs. In that collapse, something ancient inside me stirred awake.
I felt a strong call to pilgrimage to Kemet (Egypt), a place that had lived in my imagination since childhood. Returning to that sacred land was not simply travel — it was remembrance. Inside the Great Pyramid, I experienced a spontaneous activation that felt less like learning and more like re-encountering a truth I had once carried.
Kemet showed me that certain lands hold frequencies that reawaken the soul’s memory.
That healing can happen through resonance, not effort.
That initiation is often quiet, but unmistakable.
That remembering is a form of homecoming.
This journey ignited a vision I had carried quietly for years:
to create a global space where embodied spirituality, cultural wisdom, creativity, and healing arts come together.
This became Shakti Collective —
a meeting place for artists, guides, healers, and seekers shaping the future of embodied spirituality.
A sanctuary for sound, ritual, movement, remembrance, and the study of the sacred feminine and masculine.
A living temple for modern mystics — grounded, relational, and brave enough to welcome the full human experience.

My work today
My offerings weave together:
• Embodied tantric wisdom
• Somatic movement + intuitive dance
• Sacred sound + vocal awakening
• Energy work and ritual arts
• Nervous system repair + attunement
• Creative expression and storytelling
• Ancestral remembrance + cross-cultural mysticism
Why I do this work
Because remembering is liberation.
Because the body holds the map home.
Because every soul carries a lineage of wisdom waiting to be reclaimed.
Because healing is not becoming someone new — it is unfolding back into who we were before the forgetting.
My deepest wish is that we all find our way back to that remembering.
To the truth our soul keeps whispering.
To the path that was always ours.
May we always evolve through remembering.

THE FAMILY
Meet Rabie Khaled
Hi, my name is Rabie. I was born in Cairo, Egypt.
My father was born and raised in Luxor (Upper Egypt). Still, Cairo is known as the land of opportunity for people born with limited sources in Upper Egypt, so he decided to move. He met my mother in Cairo.
My family has worked in Tourism and Egyptology for generations. Both my father and grandfather worked in this field in Upper Egypt. My father also worked for Egypt Air during this time in Cairo.
Both my uncle and my brother are Egyptologists. When I was a child, I loved watching my brother talk to the travelers about our history. He was a significant influence on me.
My interest in the unique history of Egypt kept growing; I was utterly mesmerized by it.
I still remember my first visit to the pyramids as a child. During the whole experience, I had only one question in my mind; how did they build it? And at this time, little did I know that this question would follow me my entire life.
Eventually, I decided to study to become a professional Egyptologist. I studied ancient Egyptian history, ancient Egyptian beliefs, art, language, architecture, and Greek, Roman, Christian, and Muslim history.
Ultimately, I became a professional Egyptologist and tour guide.
All through my career, I have guided tours in German. And finally, in 2019, I decided to add the English language to my license to have the ability to guide English-speaking travelers.
I have been an Egyptologist for the past 15 years. And I genuinely believe that becoming one is a huge part of my mission in this lifetime.
I don't believe in coincidence. I believe that all of us have an important mission. I believe that many of us have known each other in other lifetimes. And to tell you who I really am, I need to ask "WHO ARE WE" instead of "who am I"? Because I believe that we are one, not the human being but the entire universe. You are me, and I am you. There is no separation.
I also believe that we get so much wisdom from our mother, whoever we are. My mother is now in a "better place," and she will forever be the center of my entire life.
One day, after many years working as an Egyptologist, I met someone who made me question everything I thought I knew.
Suddenly I started to understand life and even Egyptology differently. So I began to ask new questions, and the more I asked, the less I knew.
Egyptology is extraordinary, but there is so much that Egyptology misses. The crucial answers are found by diving deep into the spiritual and esoteric teachings and adding everything we know together. "What is essential is invisible to the eye."
I knew that to find (and remember) the truth, even if that's a matter of perspective, I needed to study the mystery knowledge of the ancient Egyptians. So I continued to ask questions, read the books, and look at everything I've seen a million times before with brand new eyes.
I immersed myself in the study of Kemetology. Kemetology studies the first Egyptian civilization that inhabited the earth and its descendants on a much deeper level than Egyptology does.
I studied the ancient Egyptian records all over again. I learned about quantum physics, Sufism, Cosmology, demonology, and anything that helped answer my questions. We need to see the big picture to understand the small piece of the picture.
Now I can tell you that I'm not only Egyptologist; I am a Kemetologist. I'm an empty vessel and a researcher of the truth. I'm doing my best to remember my truth and help others remember theirs too.
I'm still trying to answer some of the questions I had as a child. But every day, I am a little closer to the answers.
Helping others find answers and helping them to have a journey back to themselves is what makes me happy. Because I believe we cannot understand anything if we don't understand ourselves.
Be blessed and never give up looking for the truth about yourself first.
— Rabie Khaled (Uknown Egypt)
