The Noya Rao
Collective
The Noya Rao Collective is a nonprofit religious and educational organization devoted to spiritual awakening, education, and developing a connection to the tree of light
Connecting with the Tree of Light
Noya Rao is a rare bioluminescent tree that grows in the Amazon who holds the position of our revered Master Plant. We have gravitated towards working with her specifically because of the purity of her nature and her unique ability to reflect back your true essence. Through her unconditional love, Noya Rao helps us to uncover our gifts and identify what blocks us from reaching our highest potential.

Meet Krista Rhinehart
Dr. Krista Rhinehart is the founder of the Noya Rao Collective—a channel, therapist, and guide devoted to sharing the healing of Noya Rao. Her work is rooted in visions she received from the tree, calling her to support spiritual awakenning.
Krista holds a Master’s in Counseling Psychology and a Doctorate in East-West Psychology. Over the past 14 years, she has studied plant medicine, Eastern meditation, and apprenticed in the Shipibo tradition, where she first learned to connect with Noya Rao and the world of master plants.

Meet the Noya Rao Collective
The Noya Rao Collective is a team of guides that support individuals through the healing process that Noya Rao provides. Each of us are deeply committed to working with Noya Rao and have done traditional Noya Rao diets to strengthen our connection and our capacity to provide transmissions. We incorporate wisdom and practices that come from a combination of Western Psychology, Eastern wisdom and practices, and Shamanic wisdom to support individuals along the spiritual path.
