Jennifer Taylor is the founder of Amnivara, as well as a full-time energy practitioner, sound channel, and instructor whose work explores the interweaving of spirit and matter, energy and embodiment. She helps others deepen their relationship with themselves, the natural world, and the guides, forces, and intelligences that exist beyond the material plane. Her work is devoted to transforming spiritual concepts into living relationships, helping others awaken their innate spiritual awareness and develop the confidence to perceive, trust, and engage with the unseen for themselves.

A natural traveler between worlds, Jennifer has a gift for navigating pathways between realms and making them accessible to others. Archangel Michael serves as the primary guide within her work with Amnivara, offering wisdom, energetic support, and attunements that help open deeper channels of connection. Her explorations also encompass a diverse array of guides, deities, ancestors, spirits of place, and living intelligences from many traditions—from Sekhmet to Elen of the Ways, from Mary Magdalene to Mountain. She approaches spirituality as relationship rather than philosophy: something to be experienced, cultivated, and woven into daily life.

As co-host of the Mystical Musings podcast and co-creator of The Power of Story Project, Jennifer is known for creating accessible pathways into profound spiritual experiences. Through sound, movement, energy work, and guided exploration, she helps others strengthen their own connections with guides, expanded states of awareness and the unseen world around them. Her work is rooted in the belief that meaningful relationships with spirit are not reserved for a gifted few, but are a natural human capacity waiting to be remembered.

Keith Taylor is a veterinarian, Karuna Reiki Master, sound healer, and lifelong student of the natural world. Through decades of caring for animals and exploring the connections between body, spirit, and consciousness, he has cultivated a deep respect for the intelligence that flows through all living things.

Equally at home in the company of angelic guides, ancestral wisdom, and the wild voices of nature, Keith has a gift for bridging seemingly different worlds. Much of his spiritual practice unfolds through direct experience—in the rhythm of a drum, the movement of a long trail run, the call of a raven, or the quiet guidance that emerges from the natural world. He approaches spirituality as a living relationship, rooted in observation, experience, and trust.

As a sound healer and musician, rhythm remains one of Keith's primary languages. His work creates a steady and grounded container through which profound spiritual experiences can unfold safely and naturally. Whether working with sound, energy, animals, or spirit, he brings a stabilizing presence that helps others connect more deeply with themselves, the Earth, and the unseen forces that accompany them along the path.
