Perhaps we are longing to free the old gods of soil and grain and leopard skins from the institutions our need for a sanitised and tidy spirituality has trapped them in, or all-together buried them under.

"Gabriela is an incredible teacher. She masterfully creates learning environments in which students learn profound wisdom while also training us in powerful experiential techniques that help in the cultivation of spiritual sovereignty. To top it off, she achieves all of this with a healthy dose of sacred levity, compassion, and feminine fierceness mixed with gentle humility."

"Gabriela is a flowing fountain of poetry, quotes, anecdotes and thought provoking personal philosophies."

Gabriela Gutierrez is a Spanish/Welsh writer, ritualist, natural beekeeper and independent scholar of mythology and the history of religion. Her work is focused on the revival of ancient knowledge, and her research excavates the animistic, once-universal worldview before religion became institutionalised.
Gabriela travels to ancient sites and traditional cultures, sharing her findings on her Substack publication Under a Fig Tree and teaching a unique blend of intellectual and experiential courses based on her research. Her work offers a bridge between academic scholarship and direct experience, weaving a tapestry of myth, history, and embodied wisdom and guiding others into deeper engagement with ancient knowledge systems.
