MINISTER

Kellee Morris is a yoga instructor, therapeutic body worker, Reiki Master, Anum Kara practitioner, and health coach with over 25 years of experience.

She grew up in the English countryside where she communed with nature daily and learned to forage. Her passion began with her study of the flora and fauna around her childhood home. This began her search for answers to questions about the nature of life, death and a higher power.

Her spiritual calling was formalized with an 8 year formal apprenticeship in the Amazon under the lineage of Maestro Julio Llerena Pinedo and the Universal Teachings of Maestro Hamilton Souther of Blue Morpho. She completed her formal apprenticeship in 2013. Her course of study was deeply immersed in the tradition of the paleros, those who diet the medicinal trees of the jungle in order to learn from the wisdom of the ancient ways for healing. Her work with the lineage of Solon Tello began in 2008 and has, through her ever-deepening commitment to our collective work, lead to her ordination as a minister of Church of the Infinite in 2022.

🌸 Originally from the Pacific Northwest, after high school, together with her partner of 30 years, Agustin,  they traveled into Central America and landed in the incredible,  lush, majestic mountains of Costa Rica. For over 25 years, they have been cultivating an intimate relationship with the waters, trees, plants and animals on their land. They hike a trail into their off-grid, hand built home and have created a permaculture model for sustainability and harmonious stewardship.  Today their land and home have evolved into a large conservation project, where hundreds of acres of cloud forest are protected and regenerating, where nutritious food is grown in abundance and where they are able to host people in a nourishing and transformational environment~ in pure connection with the elements. Over 15 years ago, Megan began a deep, healing and life changing relationship with Sacred Plant Medicine and her teacher María Cristina.  Megan has been taught graciously by her dear friend and teacher, who has been a plant medicine woman for over two decades and carries the wisdom of the Sacred Plants, Icaros and her Peruvian lineage. Megan became a minister with the COI and now offers her services in different locations and communities. Megan works in service for the betterment of humanity. She warmly invites each of us to love and laugh more! Megan and Agustin bring together their many years of plant medicine  experience and study, musical practice and love for humanity into a holistic and safe space where healing and transformation are called into being.
