Adam Laufer

Adam is an artist, a maker and a healer. His past experience includes teaching Iyengar yoga full-time and being a certified Polarity Therapist. Mysterious forces led him to be initiated with his wife, Erin, into an ancient Central Mexico lineage in 2003. His life is devoted to joyful (and only occasionally grumpy) service.

Adam's divine calling to heal has been recognized by multiple tradition-holders. He opens his doors to provide healing sessions in the Asheville, NC area at his healing retreat north of Asheville. And, together with his wife and colleagues, he offers ceremonies to help our community realign ourselves with the living world around us.

He helps us both to give thanks for the gifts of balanced rains, winds and temperatures and to align with the human cycles and the cycles of these times.

Adam is a quiapaquiz (which means weather worker), also known as granicero or tiempero in Spanish. He is responsible for being a liaison between the Weather Beings - rain, clouds, wind, lightning and sun - and the people in his community. As a healer in this lineage, he is known as tepahtiani.

Erin Everett

Erin has been trained in life coaching by Newfield Network and has apprenticed with multiple alternative medicine healers. She supports the international spiritual-social movement nonprofit called Sacred Fire and has spent decades learning from the trainings, teachers and elders available there and within her spiritual lineage.

Erin Everett is a weather worker, ceremonial leader and initiated healer in her spiritual lineage. In 2003, along with Adam, she was initiated in the ancient and unbroken tradition of weather workers in Central Mexico by master weather worker don Lucio Campos de Elizalde. She was struck by lightning in her youth, which is a known calling to the tradition of working with weather. In Spanish, weather workers like her and her compadres are known as graniceros (workers with hail) and tiemperos (workers with time). In Nahuatl, they are known as quiapaquiz (kee-yah-PAH-kees), as well as other traditional names.

She is also an ordained tepahtiani healer in her tradition and offers personal and group healing retreats with Adam at their small forested mountainside healing center in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina.

Guest Reviews

“Erin and Adam have created a place for silence and stillness. Sitting by the wood stove in the living room when it was raining or on the deck in the sunshine, I always felt bathed in the green filtered forest light. An opportunity for reading, writing, prayer, or creating and sharing a meal with a friend.” —Gary Weidner

“This cabin is so charming up on the mountain top! You walk in and feel right at home and immediately start to relax. It easily accommodated us and we stayed there all weekend to visit with family. The cabin is well equipped with everything you may need! I highly recommend staying here when you need to get away from all the hustle and bustle of your life!” —Amy Truitt
