Facilitators

MAHALA BERRY
M.S. SLP-CCC, Bilingual Speech-Language Pathologist, Energy Channel & Founder of The Manas Collective

Mahala Berry is a bilingual speech-language pathologist and energy healer whose work bridges science, spirit, and creativity. Her career has taken her across the globe—from U.S. schools and military clinics in Germany to public hospitals in Guatemala—serving individuals with diverse physical and neurological needs.

After a traumatic event led to a personal health crisis, Mahala began a deep healing journey, learning from medicine elders across Nepal, the Philippines, and New Mexico. Along the way, she developed the ability to channel higher frequencies and guide others in reconnecting to their own innate healing through energy work, creativity, and play in nature.

Now based in Xuilub, Yucatán, she is creating a new healing center near her teacher and mentor. The Manas Collective is the culmination of her path—a space where ancestral wisdom, imagination, and community come together to support healing across generations.

DR. CATHY EYGONNET
Holistic Psychotherapist & Energy Healer

Born in Paris, Dr. Cathy Eygonnet is a French holistic psychotherapist with over 35 years of dedication to alternative medicine and healing. Her journey began with sophrology—a practice that opened the door to energy therapies and bodywork—helping her understand the root causes of illness and the pathways to deep, lasting wellness.

Dr. Eygonnet’s search for true healing led her around the world and ultimately to the shamanic traditions of Central America. There, she worked closely with indigenous healers and shamans, expanding her understanding of energetic healing and undergoing profound transformation herself—healing her own heart, mind, and spirit along the way.

BENJI SHURE
Quantum Activator, Source Channeler

A multidimensional galactic channel, healer, teacher and spiritual re-volution guide. An instrument of Light from an ancient collective, he’s currently one of a few individuals incarnate capable of holding and directing such immense light spectrums. With his unique connection and teams on the otherside, Benji is in the process of bringing through an ever expanding number of different languages of light, divine source codes, ‘Unknown’ information and new frequency healing system technologies.

Unknowingly, Benji spent his childhood fully enmeshed in and aware of multidimensional realities. As a result, he was less influenced by the psycho-social constructs around him. This allowed him to heighten his intuitive awareness of energetic frequencies and maintain Source connection. As you can imagine, this hyper-abillity to tune into to around 8800 different frequencies at once, manifested for Benji as a form of neuro-diversity, Autism. This has graced him with a beautiful humility and Ego/deception-less innocence.
