About The Butterfly Hippie

Transformation Artist | Mystic in Motion | Portal to the Unseen

✨Spirit in motion. Born in Queens. Crowned on the Moon. Reborn in the jungle.

My name is Rikki Van Brackle:

I walked the concrete wilds of New York as a protector.
17 years, 2 months, and 25 days with NYPD
serving as an intimate partner violence officer,
until Spirit called me home through fire and fracture.

Now I breathe in sync with the earth.
Now I guide souls through the sacred storm of becoming.

I'm a Transformation Artist,
Divine Channel,
Ancestral Messenger
— living lush + liberated in the Costa Rican jungle.

At Casa Mariposa, my Transformation Portal + Sanctuary,
we remember who we are.
We reclaim what was taken.
We rewrite what’s next.

I’m the founder of The Butterfly Hippie,
where wellness meets wildness,
and healing is a homecoming.

I created Escape The Matrix,
a sacred rebellion for Black and BIPOC women
to unplug, unravel and rise.

My medicine blends:
✨ Breathwork
✨ Intuitive movement
✨ Ritual
✨ Ancestral communication

I speak with spirits.
I move with animals.
I decode divine messages
from the whispers of wind,
the rhythm of rain,
the hush between heartbeats.

I’m the author of Ancestor Angel Numbers: A Guide to Divine Alignment and Ancestral Wisdom —
a love note for the remembering ones.
A lighthouse for those walking back to their light.

Alongside me walk my fur guardians:
Carmelo, my wise-eyed oracle.
Jett Ski, my fearless protector.
They remind me: intuition is gospel,
shadow holds gold,
and play is holy.

I also lead The Free Woman Project —
a nonprofit offering healing, empowerment + sanctuary
for Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color
survivors of violence, grief, and generational pain.

I hold space for first responders too —
especially the BIPOC women who spent their lives saving others.
Now it’s their time to rest, to rise, to be seen.

Catch me in ceremony,
on the road,
or in your feed —
hosting The Margarita Room Podcast on YouTube,
pouring truth with a twist of joy.
