Founding Members — The Offering Ground

Kiera McGuire

Kiera’s path has been shaped by more than three decades of study, practice, and service within healing, spiritual, and wisdom traditions from around the world. Over the years, she has studied, practiced, and worked with others through Chinese Medicine, psychotherapy, yoga and meditation, somatic trauma healing, and nature-based practices, while continuing to learn from teachers, healers, wisdom keepers, and communities across cultures.

Through these many years of practice and relationship, she has come to understand that healing does not happen in isolation. Our well-being is deeply connected to our relationship with ourselves, one another, the living Earth, and the greater web of life. This understanding has become central to the way she approaches healing, service, and community.

Today, Kiera continues her healing practice while also serving as a steward of The Land Known as Buckhorn Springs in Southern Oregon. Her work is devoted to supporting healing and deeper connection, bringing people together to learn and share wisdom, and cultivating a more conscious relationship with the Earth and with one another.

Founder

Magaly Quispe Singona

Magaly is part of the ancient Qanchis Illa, Intiq Churinkuna lineage, deeply connected with Pachamama, all of her children, and our cosmic family. From an early age, she experienced life as ceremony, continually deepening her relationship with Pachamama, her allies, and guardians.

Following a life-changing experience that deepened her connection to the medicine path, Magaly chose to walk this path more fully, learning from the mystery of the dream world, the power of medicine plants, the gifts of walking in the company of the goddesses, and the uniqueness of our individual essence. At the heart of her path is the importance of living in deep relationship and alliance with Pachamama, the ancestors, and spirit allies.

It is Magaly’s passion and service to share these traditions, wisdom, and teachings with our global family. She believes that together with Pachamama, we can co-create magic.

Founding Board Member

Juan Carlos Gonzalez

For more than 15 years, Juan Carlos has worked across fields connected to nature, tourism, property development, sustainable landscaping, and regenerative practices. He owns a property development and sustainable landscaping company and is the founder of an ecological retreat center in Costa Rica. He has also contributed to the development and establishment of several eco-friendly hotels and projects throughout the country.

His background includes studies in management, tourism, regenerative land management, permaculture, and organic agriculture, alongside years of hands-on experience working closely with the land.

He is deeply passionate about conservation, and even more so about regeneration. His work is grounded in the belief that humans are not separate from nature, but part of the same living system, and that people, communities, development, and the natural environment can grow and thrive together.

This perspective has shaped both his work and the projects he chooses to support, and informs the experience he brings to The Offering Ground as a founding board member.
