Visionary Artist + Teacher
Cady Jeanelle Salvo
Born in Austin, Texas, under a Taurus Sun, Jeanelle considers herself raised in great part by the land - the sacred springs, ash juniper, sage, oak, deer, hawk, coyote, snake, puma and songbirds of all kinds.
This land of Texas hill country is a magical region just on the cusp of the North Mexican desert and the Ancestral lands of the Coahuiltecan, Comanche, Apache, Karankawa and Tonkawa Peoples.
Jeanelle is a full-time Visionary Craftswoman, Tattoo Artist, Graphic Artist, Ritual Artist, Devotional Musician and a Practitioner of Internal Martial Arts.
Through Dreams, past life memory, and a deep sensitivity,
her path into the Mystic was obvious from very young.
Quiet and introverted, communication with the plants and the unseen was inherent and a source of great comfort through traumatic early childhood years in a culture without ecology to recognize or support a young initiate. Today, Jeanelle considers the challenges of childhood and adolescence simply prepared her with the exact experiences and willpower for a life of traversing altered states of consciousness on the path of realizing Supreme Love.
At 18 Jeanelle began an immersive meditation practice in the sanctuary of the Rhada Madhav Dham Ashram outside of Austin. Discovering for the first time, ancient lineage and the Yogic philosophy of Consciousness,
she fell madly in love with the Beloved.
Seeing, remembering, the only path she would allow for her incarnation is that of
Unification with the Divine and Service to All Life.
The seed of Spiritual Warriorship had cracked open again within her heart.
Here she was able to heal from years of abuse, depression and self medication, and studied yoga, meditation and the beginnings of vibrational science. So devoted was she to this practice that she prepared to take vows as a renunciate.
Shortly before this, she was invited to a traditional Sweat Lodge ceremony where for the second time in her life, everything changed. This lodge awakened an instant somatic memory, and pierced the next veil of consciousness to reveal the path ahead.
From here life took flight with tremendous speed.
Within months, Jeanelle was invited to travel with her now ceremonial Elders and was fully adopted into the Red Road Way of Life through Lakota Sundance Ceremony, the Peyote ways of Native American Church and other Lineages of Plant Medicine Work. These Lineages, Communities and Teachers are the foundation for her training and service for the next 10 years to today.
During this time she was also diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, an autoimmune disease, and healed it directly through diet, prayer and meditation.
This gave a powerful and essential initiation into DNA and nervous system healing.
To heal oneself is the first step.
Today her work as a Visionary Artist and a Steward of Spirit is rooted within the traditional Sundance and Vision Quest path, studentship with the Master Plant Teachers, as well as the Internal Martial Arts of Qi Gong, Meditation, Yoga, Astrology and Sacred Union.
Her Artwork is a celebration and exploration of the limitless intelligence of Nature, an offering of vision into ancestral memory, vibrational play of color, and prayers for a beautiful, communal, future.
Often her work honors animals, guides, myths and dreams.
To Jeanelle, simply life is art.
To make beauty is to make healing.
Jeanelle carries the gifts of Vision and internal Alchemy of Consciousness,
teaching how to access our innate creativity in collaboration with the transcendent architecture of Nature. To transform and elevate our reality through aligning to true Wisdom, and personal empowerment to heal ourselves and the Sacred Hoop of our Relations through practice, devotion, and play.
Jeanelle travels across the US to teach and share in ceremony with friends and community, her favorite pastimes include swimming in the river, reading, camping and generally living that slow life close to the earth.
Jeanelle currently lives in Austin Texas with her husband Zach, two kitty cats, and one very cute tortoise.
