Aria Tau

Aria Tau is the Founder of Sacred Waters and a Reverend Co-leading ceremonial retreats. She is a song weaver with an angelic voice that transports you into the angelic realms during ceremony. Aria serves as a clear channel of divine light, walking the healer path in humility and integrity and holding you in reverence as you awaken and realize the bright, undying light that shines within.

She embodies divine femininity, with her open heart and approach that is rooted in radical acceptance and compassion – two core values of the Sacred Waters Sanctuary community. This has created a culture that feels like a family for new and old members of the community. You are accepted as you are – imperfectly perfect – and held in compassion and respect as you shed the layers of self-judgement, embracing self-forgiveness and self-compassion. 

Aria has been working with sacred plant medicines for over a decade and has completed dietas (spiritual plant initiations) and apprenticeships to enable her to serve ayahuasca and other sacred plants in ceremonial settings. She is also a highly skilled facilitator with a background in executive leadership coaching, women’s spiritual empowerment, and designing and leading transformational and healing programs. She has led over 50 retreats and transformational healing experiences and has worked with thousands to Awaken their Highest Selves through plant medicine, spirituality and neuroscience.

Aria transitioned out of a successful career in technology when she was called to the spiritual path. This led her to take the medicine back to he family in South Africa, and serve her mother, who had suffered with severe trauma and a bipolar disorder for decades. In 2023, with other heart-centered leaders, founded Sacred Waters Sanctuary – a non-profit visionary church – to help those who are seeking a safe and sacred way to heal and thrive.
