I have just returned from my yearly medicine pilgrimage to Peru to work on myself and my path – with a very happy and light heart 🙂 Felt very inspired to share about this center because of all they did, and continue to, do for me!

I spent a several weeks here with this group and the medicine. This healing center is hands down the best I have worked with in my journey. A lot more than price and offerings come into play when making these decisions for me based on my experience (comfort, privacy, group size, organization, shaman/shamana experience & lineage, and MOST importantly intention). This team and center exceeded my expectations in every way!

The Center: It’s a beautiful space with wide open views, cozy private sleeping options, river (and cold plunge) access, fire areas, yoga/dance areas, full kitchen access, library of good books. Spaces to be with others and plenty of private nooks for yourself as well. Easy access to Pisac and Cusco. The ceremony room is beautifully decorated and comfortable – I even slept there instead of my bed a couple of nights.

The Support team: Mike, Dudi, Sam, and many others that support ceremony and my general comfort are all top notch in both experience and care. Not only did they support me in ceremony but were vigilant to check in on me outside of their space and container as well. They truly wanted to be sure I felt cared for every moment and that meant a lot for my trust and surrender. Maestro Roberto, traditional Shipibo shaman, had incredibly powerful Icaros and led ceremony with confidence and love. I felt fully relaxed in his guidance in ceremony and in awe of the clarity and power his songs held. An added plus was seeing him and his wife so often outside of ceremony – ALWAYS laughing and smiling – the sign of a good shaman in my opinion 🙂

**Also super sweet pups around the property who are healers in their own right – shout out to Smurf dog!

The Ceremony: Very well organized experience including time to consider your intentions and 1on1 time with the Maestro before to discuss – then a lovely blend of what to expect, breathwork, and settling in before the medicine. The shaman worked collectively and individually throughout ceremony. Beautiful music was carefully mixed with noble silence (a part I feel a lot of ceremonies miss on). Very intentional and energetically calculated ending of ceremony and always fresh fruit and tea before group share and prayer. Very complete process!

On a Personal Note: As I said before, intention of a place is everything. These people have truly dedicated their lives to the healing of us and the planet. Open hearted and judgement free – really feeling held and loved.
They supported me with EVERYTHING from logistics, to how to continue learning and growing, and they even supported me with networking and helping me build my dreams as I returned home! They are not in this for profit or any other motive than to heal and love. You feel that the second you get there and I’m forever grateful. I consider them brothers and sisters – FAMILY – for life. A home I can always return to.

You can’t always judge these things from a snapshot of a place so my hope is that this review can help you understand the subtle, but most important pieces of a healing experience and make a good decision for yourself. There are many beautiful centers but this is the only one I suggest to my loved ones that are interested in working with medicine. Peace and love on your journeys and healing! I’m proud of you for doing your research 🙂
