Amy Mermaid Isakov
Amy Mermaid Isakov is an eternal student of Life and an innovative dreamer, passionate about connection, spirituality, music, ritual arts, and healing. Having left the traditional education path, she has studied in-depth with shamans, bodyworkers, evolutionary thought leaders, and green builders since 2001. While working at The Shift Network, she hosted and managed all of don Oscar’s courses, while having the privilege to host and learn from many of the world’s leading mystics, dreamers, and visionaries. She also had the joy of recording the audiobook format of don Oscar’s Shamanism: Personal Quests of Communion with Nature and Creation, as well as another book published by Sacred Stories, Ancestors: Divine Remembrances of Lineage Relations and Sacred Sites by Mindahi Bastida. She is a Pachakuti Mesa Sanctioned Teacher, a certified teacher of Active Dreaming, a writer, singer, and mother — among other things — and looks forward to helping as many people as possible return to the truth of interconnection in these times of dire beauty. She regularly leads gatherings in her region and beyond, subscribing to the truth she recognizes in Thich Nhat Hanh’s teaching “The next buddha will be a sangha.” Amy is available for local or distance healing work and resides near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
