Ray & Nina Crist

Ray and Nina Crist bring together decades of experience in healing, movement, meditation, shamanic traditions, and personal transformation. At the heart of the Jaguar Path is a truly holistic approach -
one that respects Western medicine as an essential foundation for diagnosis and treatment while embracing complementary practices that have supported human well-being for thousands of years. Their intention is simple: to support the whole person- body, mind, heart, energy, and spirit on the path toward optimal living.

How the Jaguar Path Can Support You

The Jaguar Path empowers individuals, practitioners, healers, and wellness professionals with a broad and deeply integrated set of tools to support healing, personal growth, resilience, and a more balanced approach to human well-being.

The Jaguar Path grew directly from Ray Crist’s own healing journey with cancer—a journey that took him from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Johns Hopkins and the world of Western medicine to years of exploration through Mexico and Peru, where he traveled, studied, and worked alongside Indigenous healers and communities, learning traditions that have supported human healing and transformation for millennia.

The Jaguar Path embraces a truly holistic approach, giving important weight to Western medicine as a primary avenue for the diagnosis and treatment of illness, while also recognizing the value of ancient practices that have helped people cultivate emotional, energetic, spiritual, and physical well-being across cultures and throughout human history.

"This training has changed my life and opened me up to
ideas and options that I never even knew existed."

Jaguar Path Graduates Share Their Experience 

Ubiquity

Get Your MA or PhD in Shamanic Studies and the Art of Healing

Through our partnership with Ubiquiti University, Jaguar Path students have the opportunity to apply their studies toward a master’s degree and, for those who wish to go further, a PhD.

This pathway is designed for students who feel called to bring their Jaguar Path studies into a deeper academic context—exploring areas such as anthropology, psychology, psychotherapy, consciousness, integrative healing, and transformational studies.

It creates a bridge between the experiential wisdom and healing practices of the Jaguar Path and rigorous academic inquiry, offering graduates an opportunity to research, articulate, and further develop this work within their chosen professional or scholarly path.
