Father | Author | Spiritual Guide | Sacred Medicine
Originally from northern Maine, Ryan Graves is a father, teacher, author, and sacred medicine guide currently residing with his family in the western mountains of North Carolina.

Ryan’s wisdom is born from lived experience and deep communion with Spirit. His approach to coaching and ceremony is heart-centered, intuitive, and rooted in the belief that true healing is possible for anyone willing to walk the path.
He is the author of Miraculous, a memoir about his healing journey through addiction and grief, and is currently preparing to release his first children’s book, Sentimental Shorts—a collection of feel-good stories that uplift the heart and nourish the soul. Whether he’s guiding a sacred ceremony, supporting a client through transformation, or sharing his personal experiences, Ryan shows up with humility, authenticity, and a deep dedication to helping others remember what’s possible.

The Conscious Crew began as a dream to inspire families to live freely and intentionally. Our early family travel blog reflected this vision, but it was through personal challenges—infertility, addiction, loss, and a pivotal move from Maine to North Carolina—that we truly embraced a path of healing and transformation.
Discovering that conventional methods weren’t meeting our needs, we turned to sacred plant medicine. These experiences not only healed us, but also deepened our family bonds. Our children actively participate in ceremonies, help prepare sacred spaces, and engage in daily rituals like morning gratitude circles and evening reflections. Nature remains our constant teacher, guiding us to live with reverence and connection.
Our mission is to help families reconnect with their authentic selves, discover supportive communities, and explore holistic paths to healing. Looking ahead, we envision creating retreat centers—sanctuaries where future generations can access diverse healing modalities and continue this legacy of love and transformation.
