Meet Your Facilitator
Onyx Knight
Lead Facilitator, Master Shaman, Intuitive Healer & Founder of SoulRide
Hi, I’m Onyx – the founder of SoulRide and a revered Master Shaman with over two decades of experience guiding sacred plant medicine ceremonies. A 7th-generation Heyoka intuitive healer and wisdom keeper, I blends ancestral knowledge, lived experience, and formal training to create powerful, heart-centered spaces for transformation.
Drawing from my Indigenous and Cajun lineage, I offers ceremonies rooted in deep spiritual connection, energy healing, and sacred sound alchemy. My work is supported by master plant allies, which I use in union with sacred prayer, music, and intention to guide you into profound inner journeys.
Trained at the Blue Morpho Academy, I’m a master ceremonialist and Reiki Master who weaves, sacred drumming, and shadow integration into my ceremonial work. Through my guidance, you are invited to release limiting patterns, awaken to your inner wisdom, and elevate into higher frequencies of love, clarity, and spiritual embodiment.
I holds a safe space for deep remembrance—helping individuals reconnect to their essence, activate their journey back to self love and light, and offer their highest vibration to both Mother Earth, Pacha Mama, mama Gaia and the greater Devine Source consciousness we are all part of.
Participation in a traditional Amazonian medicine known to activate chakras, stimulate the pineal gland, support liver function, and enhance mental clarity. This is optional and offered with reverence and respect for its tribal origins.
With each ceremony, I provides a safe sacred container for energetic flow, soul alignment, and collective ascension.
Gratitude for Her Guidance and Soul Work
“Hello friends,
My soul sister, Onyx Knight asked with humility that I share my experiences with you in an effort to foster a new relationship and create opportunities to align her sacred work with yours.
I have sat with her in sacred medicine space 3 times. Each time brought deep healing and realizations. She fostered an environment of safety and professionalism, even when my journey within did not feel so.
Her unwavering peace and strength kept me safe, when I did not have the capacity to do so on my own.
Her protocols are those of someone who would not know them without having deeply healed and helped many many others do the same.
Truly, a battle forged soul rider.
I have trusted her with my beloved soulmate, a street survivor, sexual abuse survivor, domestic violence survivor, addiction survivor, mother of my children, and if creator ever calls my children to medicine when they’re grown. I will send them to Onyx’s sacred space without question.
I would like to offer gratitude for your considerations in allowing this medicine woman, my friend Onyx to continue her sacred practise along side the souls you guide to her space.
A’Ho.”
