Charlotte Duerr James

Charlotte Duerr James is an Educator and initiated Medicine Woman of Afro-Caribbean and Germanic lineage. She works to create a world in which everyone is able to live in fearless pursuit of their radical transformation. She uses her skills as an educator, therapeutic coach, and ceremonial facilitator to build and engage a community focused on pursuing collective liberation. 

Charlotte has been exploring her own mind and spirit with the support of Sacred Earth Medicines for over 15 years. She has completed a traditional apprenticeship with Kambo, is a Mbanji initiate in the Iboga lineage of present day Gabon, and has supported hundreds of community members in ceremony. She graduated summa cum laude from Johns Hopkins University with a BA in Latin American Studies and Anthropology and most recently completed a 3-year training program in Transpersonal Psychology, Psychedelic Medicine, and Indigenous Wisdom with the Awe Foundation where she also serves as a program mentor. Charlotte has lived throughout South America and is a multi-lingual Spanish and Portuguese speaker. She is a lifelong student of the Earth committed to her ongoing unlearning and relearning process and has sat in ceremony with elders and medicine keepers of varying traditions. Charlotte feels that engaging in one’s personal decolonization work is imperative for being an authentic facilitator practicing in integrity, and in service to collective liberation.
