Welcome beautiful,

My name is Jasmine Alicia Carter.

And Sacred Woman™ is the culmination of over 8 years of exploration and healing in the spiritual, wellness, and holistic fields.

My brand is my sacred hearth and a jewel in my heart that shines brightly for all who seek to connect with their true, deepest and rawest feminine selves.

I am a woman of Italian, North-European, Latin-American, and Nigerian descent, currently residing in the vibrant city of Barcelona with my loving husband, Hri Surya Cillo, a gifted meditation guide, and our two beautiful young sons Ravi and Mani.

From the moment of my conception...

I was enveloped in a container of spiritual lessons.

Conceived during the Gulf War in Saudi Arabia in 1991, and born in the Airforce Base of Virginia, my early life was marked by the complexities of rigid military family dynamics.

My parents’ divorce when I was just seven years old thrust me into a new harsh reality.

Growing up in Italy, and without my father, I felt the weight of a strict and emotionally unavailable mother, and I quickly learned to navigate the world alone, grappling with a profound sense of emptiness and disconnection. The taboo surrounding womanhood and pleasure loomed large in my lineage, creating an internal battleground within me.

Conversations about periods were hushed, and when they arrived, they were seen as a curse. Sexuality was shrouded in shame, viewed as a path to unintended motherhood, a punishment rather than a celebration of life. My body felt like a battleground—imperfect and constantly scrutinized, adhering to impossible societal standards.

The messages I absorbed about pleasure suggested that it must always come after hard work, and men were often portrayed as having mischievous intentions.

These deep-seated beliefs, coupled with an intense sexual drive from a young age, led me to manifest patterns of self-hatred and disassociation from my own body.

I made choices in intimate relationships that were misaligned with my true self, engaging in self-harm and grappling with emotional, psychological, and physical illness.

My teenage years, which should have been filled with carefree joy, were instead clouded by hopelessness.

I had never experienced an orgasm until the age of 21, using a synthetic rabbit vibrator that felt more like a desperate attempt than an act of pleasure. I battled recurrent yeast infections, PCOS, Endometriosis, HPV, and debilitating period pains that left me doubled over in agony.

My past is filled with countless stories of struggle and survival, each one shaping the woman I am today.

Spiritual Journey

My healing journey has been long, winding, and remarkable—filled with profound lessons that ultimately led me to the sacred path I walk today.

Over the past decade, I have delved into the depths of inner healing through powerful and authentic spiritual lineages.

From the ancient teachings of Vajrayana Buddhism and Dzogchen to the Shipibo wisdom of the Amazon, I explored Kashmiri Shaivism, Nei Qi Gong, Chinese medicine, Taoism, and Ayurveda.

Under the Dzogchen and Vajrayana tradition, I trained with Rishi Choni Dorje, a disciple of Adzom Rinpoche—one of Tibet’s last living masters, renowned for embodying teachings so profoundly that he could place his limbs in rock, produce Amrita from the depths of his realization, and awaken your true nature simply by gazing into your eyes.

Rishi was my primary teacher until his passing, and his son, now my husband, continues to guide me in this lineage.

I also trained with Lama Tsultrim Allione, receiving the Chöd initiation and undertaking solitary practices in caves and cemeteries.

These experiences immersed me in the raw and unfiltered depths of fear and darkness, ultimately leading me to anchor in my true self—what can never be lost.

These teachings, with death and liberation as central themes, have since infused everything I create, including much of my menstrual art.

Alongside these traditional practices, I embraced modern spirituality and holistic methods, including Neo Tantra and contemporary approaches like Somatic Therapy and Art Therapy.

I eventually turned to the realms of Epigenetics, Holistic Nutrition, and Neuroscience, which illuminated the fog of confusion that once clouded my mind during my darkest days.

As I peeled back the layers of suffering, I began to see the truth of who I truly was. I started to understand the roots of my pain and transformed those insights into wisdom.

These diverse yet interconnected traditions and disciplines have shaped my journey and my ability to hold space for others, merging the timeless wisdom of ancient teachings with the evolving needs of the modern world.

Menstrual Art Movement

In 2016, during an Ayahuasca ceremony, I channeled the practice of Menstrual Art—a pivotal moment that launched my path to womb healing and sacred feminine work. This ritual unlocked long-buried doors within me, leading to profound healing and a deeper embrace of my femininity.

Since then, my work has resonated worldwide, going viral on social media with over 20 million views, and appearing in global media, television, and international radio.

I've collaborated with impactful brands like Its August and Girl Boss, helping shift the narrative on periods and feminine wellness.

My work has been used as the foundation for university theses and inspires a diverse community of doulas, birth workers, and doctors, sparking both support and controversy.

To further this mission, I founded the non-profit Menstrual Art Movement, now with thousands of women creating period art together, uniting creativity, healing, empowerment and activism in a powerful celebration of feminine health and sacredness.

The Mother.

Motherhood has been—and continues to be—the most spiritual and transformative initiation of my life. It is a journey of absolute duality: a paradox of heart-opening, breathtaking moments of connection, love, and sweetness alongside messy, dark, and exhausting challenges.

Both my children, Mani and Ravi were birthed at home, surrounded by love, family, sacred sounds, and the wisdom of the lineage. Through them, my heartbeat became the rhythm of my work and my purpose.

The love we share is the legacy I strive to leave. I am deeply grateful for my family, who loves and supports me unconditionally. Their presence gives me the courage and space to unfold into my highest self and embody all that I am becoming.

Today

My journey into womb work intensified as I pursued specialized training in Womb Continuum Care, allowing me to serve the full spectrum of womanhood with both hands-on and hands-in support, attuned to every stage of life.

With a background in holistic ketogenic nutrition and sex education, I bring a holistic approach to nurturing women’s health, emphasizing the interplay of body, nourishment, lifestyle and sexuality.

Today, as I walk this healing path, I remain deeply committed to my own growth while holding space for others.

I continue to gather wisdom along the way to evolve both personally and in service to my community. I am immensely grateful to all my teachers, my life experiences, past and present, who have helped shape my work, ethos, and sacred expression in this world.

Bridging the Ancient and Modern: A Revolutionary Approach to Spiritual Traditions

I have always believed that the true essence of ancient spiritual teachings transcends time, form, and space. My path has been deeply shaped by this belief, particularly through the Dzogchen teachings, which emphasize that what matters most is not the rigid adherence to form, but the essence—the living, breathing wisdom that adapts and evolves to meet the needs of the time.

I had the rare privilege of studying with Rishi Choni Dorje, my teacher, who was recognized by his own Rinpoche as an emanation of the Buddha, tasked with spreading the teachings of Dzogchen and Vajrayana Buddhism to the West. Rishi was not only a transmitter of ancient wisdom but also a pioneer, transitioning these profound teachings into forms more digestible and relatable for the modern world. As his student and daughter of this tradition, once called Primordial Freedom, I carry forward this lineage with my own unique voice, blending tradition with innovation to make it accessible for today’s seekers.

When I met Rishi, he was still firmly rooted in Vajrayana Buddhism but had begun his transition into something that bridged the ancient and modern—a dynamic, evolving form of spirituality that honored tradition while addressing the challenges of the Western mind. Through him, I was formally initiated into the paths of Dzogchen, Chöd, and Vajrayana Buddhism, along with guidance from revered teachers like Namkhai Norbu and Lama Tsultrim Allione. These teachings are a solid foundation of my being, and their essence permeates everything I do—whether it’s in my art, my offerings, or the tools I share online.

A Living Tradition

As I work to bring these teachings into the modern world, I’ve faced questions and challenges, particularly around cultural appropriation. To me, this journey has never been about borrowing or extracting. These teachings are not a passing interest or aesthetic—they are a cornerstone of my growth and becoming, deeply integrated into my life and practice. My use of traditional items, symbols, and rituals in my art and offerings is not a detached appropriation but a heartfelt homage. It is my way of preserving the traditions that shaped me, honoring them by making them visible to a broader audience that might otherwise never encounter them.

The truth is, I could never turn my back on these teachings—they are woven into the fabric of who I am. By sharing them in ways that resonate with a modern audience, I strive to ensure that their essence remains alive, rather than allowing them to become sterile or frozen in time. My commitment to this path is not only spiritual but also tangible. We actively send contributions to Tibetan monasteries in Tibet, supporting the traditions and communities from which these teachings originated.

Revolutionizing the Sacred

My approach to spirituality is, by nature, revolutionary. I believe that the modern world requires a modern approach—one that is bold, innovative, and unafraid to challenge rigidity, but always rooted in deep respect for the wisdom of the past. This is not about diluting or discarding tradition; it’s about breathing life into it, allowing it to evolve and remain relevant in a rapidly changing world.

I carry this revolutionary spirit into every aspect of my work. The items I use in my practice and art—ritual daggers, drums, human femurs—are not just tools but symbols of the profound inner work I’ve done, of the lineage I am part of, and of the sacredness of transformation itself. They are reminders of the essence of Dzogchen: the recognition of primordial freedom, the unshakable truth that remains even amidst chaos and change.

Honoring the Lineage

Through my work, I aim to balance the tension between tradition and modernity, holding the lineage with reverence while meeting the needs of the world we live in now. I do not claim to teach Dharma teachings in a formal sense, but the depth of my realizations informs everything I share. Whether it’s through my art, my courses, or my presence online, I aim to convey the timeless truths that these teachings have revealed to me.

In a world hungry for meaning, my role is to serve as a bridge—a humble carrier of wisdom who integrates the old and the new. My path is not just about preserving traditions but about allowing them to thrive, evolve, and touch the hearts of those who are ready to receive them.
