Clarice Winicki, the founder of Rama Crystals, is native Brazilian and grew up in a small town near Rio de Janeiro in the middle of the Atlantic rain Forest. Throughout her childhood, Clarice spent her summers in Bahia with her family on a farm surrounded by Cacao trees and from an early age this medicinal plant was already part of her journey. Clarice has studied spirituality since she was a child. Always curious about the subject, she investigated and integrated various practices and religions into her life in Brazil until she decided to chart her own path. Currently she lives in California and combines energetic and spiritualistic practices through Kundalini Yoga, breathwork, Cacao ceremonies, crystal therapy and brazilian shamanism uniting physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. She is a Kundalini yoga and meditation teacher certified level 1 & 2 by KRI and Yoga Alliance in New Mexico, a crystal mentor therapist and a Cacao ceremony facilitator. Among her missions is to facilitate experiences for the expansion of consciousness, connection with the elements of Nature and unblocking of the chakras to facilitate the connection with our essence. Her journey as a holistic teacher and Cacao facilitator has gone through places like Conscious Medicine in Rio de Janeiro, Woman’s Camp in New Mexico, Piracanga Holistic Center in Bahia Brasil, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, DiniviTree and 1440 multiversity in California. Today Clarice customizes individual or corporate sessions, integrating all these medicines and all her experience over the years. “I am very happy to bring Transform & Transcend to my land Brazil and embark with you on this journey of expansion within this transformation portal that changed my life, Piracanga. I want to share with you the same experience I had through all these tools and this beautiful encounter with nature and its spirits.”
