Emily K. Grieves de Reyes Contla

Emily K. Grieves (de Reyes Contla) is an artist, healer and certified Intentional Creativity® Teacher. She received a BFA degree in art from the University of Montana in 1993, and studied art history in Berlin, Germany, as a Fulbright scholar. She explores symbolism, dreaming and devotion in her artwork and teaches others how to incorporate healing intention into their visionary and creative practices. As of 2004, Emily makes her home in Teotihuacán, México, where her paintings are influenced by the cosmological imagery of the ancient pyramids and her relationship with the Divine Mother. She is dedicated to honoring the culture and ancestral wisdom of Mexico and to a lifelong exploration of “Ometeotl,” a pre-Hispanic concept of the Divine energy of Duality merging into Oneness. Together with her husband Victor and son Marco, she owns the hotel and retreat center Villa Las Campanas in the village of San Sebastián Xolalpa in Teotihuacán.
