Join me on a transformational healing journey to magical Peru in 2025

More information coming soon…

Previous Event info:

Travel with me to immerse yourself in personal transformation with the aid of Master Plant medicines of the Amazon. Alchemical practices of body and mind from ancient mystical traditions. Journey to your deep self, your essential nature of clear awareness. Release and dissolve old patterns and blocks to the mind and body that no longer serve you. Be a part of the evolutionary shift of awakening to your/our true nature.

WHAT THE JOURNEY WITH ME ENTAILS;

We will meet in Pucallpa/Peru

We will begin our 10 day Noyaroa dieta with maestra Juanita this year.

Our home for our dieta is on the Yarinacoche lake, Pucallpa at

Affordable, Authentic Shipibo Ayahuasca Retreats | Peru | Pulcalpa @ (nibero.org)

Ni Bero; meaning Eye of the Jungle.

In Tierra Vida centre Yarinacoche we will will be hosted in an eco lodge on the banks of the lake . This part of our adventure begins on November 1st.. I have brought groups many times to this venue where our needs are catered for by the Shipibo family who own and live there. You will stay in purpose built Tambos (wooden huts), some single, some shared spaces. Each hut is quite a basic build and has its own bed with comfortable mattress and mosquito nets. Toilets are compost toilets in keeping with the preservation of the natural environment surrounding us. Staying in such a place, close to the jungle energies is quite unlike any experience you have had before and adds to your medicine experience. Being immersed in the sounds, smells and energies of the river and the jungle.

Beginning on Nov 1st, we will alternate days with Ayahausca/Noyarao ceremonies, or another master plant of your choosing. Days between ceremonies we will have sharing circles to discuss and assist in integrating our experiences. We will do Tibetan embodiment yogas/meditations/sound healing/dancing, flower baths and more.

I will draw on the many skills that I have gathered over the years of my own personal search that will be useful in helping you with embodying your medicine work. Support is available at all times.

PERU - SKY HEALING JOURNEYS.
Next healing Journey: 2025

Last year I workwed with Maestra Juanita. See her photo below. Over the years I have worked with both Maestras, both equally intriguing and skillful in the work they offer. Both with many, many years of immersion in the offering of Ayahausca. Such skill and wisdom a rare thing to experience these days. Both Maestras are somewhere in their 70’s, though not quite sure!

MAESTRA JUANITA

also known as Isa Yaka- Little Bird

Maestra Juana was born into the Shipibo community of Pahoyan, one of the most powerful Shipibo healing lineages in the Peruvian Amazon. She is around 70 years old, however her exact age is unknown.She has been studying for more than 35 years under Maestra Manuela, Papa Gilberto and Papa Bejamin, who are all members of the highly-respected curandero family, the Mahua family. Juana began her dieta on the mythical Amazonian tree Noya Rao when she was just 20 years old and has dedicated her life to the path of healing ever since. Juana is also very learned in the workings of the human body, possessing an excellent knowledge of the bones and skeletal system. Juana specialises in bone massage and will be available on the Noya Rao retreat to provide our guests with this unique healing experience. We are delighted to have Juana’s expertise, depth of wisdom and fun loving spirit with us on the Noya Rao retreat.

Maestra Manuala.

Jakon Rate / Manuela Mahua Ahuanari

Manuela Mahua comes from a long-standing and well-respected family lineage of Shipibo-Konibo healers from the upper and lower Ucayali regions of the Peruvian Amazon. Born in 1947, she has 60 years of experience working with her ancestral medicine. She began apprenticing with her father at age 13.

Today she heals and teaches, to both Shipibo-Konibo and foreigners alike. She has a vast knowledge and understanding of the natural pharmacy of her land and is very open to sharing it with those who are willing to make the commitment to carry on the tradition.

Manuela is an altruistic, generous, and positive force. She cares deeply for all of her students and provides individual attention and care that only a great grandmother can give. She embodies her given Shipibo-Konibo name Jakon Rate and truly is a Life-Giving Good Surprise for all who meet and learn with her!

Healing with Noyarao and La Madre; Ayahausca 

Noya Rao is an almost mythical tree within Amazonian plant medicine, which within the Shipibo tradition, who are widely considered to have the most powerful approach to plant medicine, is generally seen as the great great grand Mother of all the plants. Little information is to be found about this sacred plant online, so here is what I have learnt from the locals and doing my own research.

Noya Rao is known in the local vocabulary both as the ‘Tree of Light’ and the Camino a la Verdad, which translates into 'The path of Truth'. Its wisdom is considered extremely powerful, it represents pure good, connected to white and blue light and those who had an honour to drink the yellow coloured tea brew from the bark of Noya Rao claimed it changed their life paths. Noya Rao's leaves and bark have fluorescent properties and glow faintly in the dark, which was documented and photographed by few. It looks like a still from Avatar movie, with the exception that it is all real. The tree, however, is so rare, that most shamans who know where Noya Rao grows keep that knowledge unexposed and protect it with uttermost care and love. Maestra Juana, who I work with in the last few years in Peru and her family are Guardians of Noya Rao and usually do not offer opportunity to work with this powerful and beautiful plant to many. There are only very few Noya Rao trees known to them and their locations are kept in secret. According to their tales medicine cooked from its bark is the ultimate key to the world of beings of pure light.

During our time in the jungle area of Pucallpa I will facilitate and teach the Tibetan Bon yoga practices of Tsa Lung and Healing sounds. These are practices to Awaken the Sacred anatomy and work beautifully, hand in hand with the Noyarao medicine. These are practices of embodiment and presence and are very powerful allies in the shedding of the old skins, taking off the old overcoats of our habits and conditioning that no longer serve us..

Your Accommodation

While at our medicine venue you will be enjoying a private or shared jungle bungalow (or Tambo) surrounded by jungle sounds. Your Tambo is fully protected from mosquitos by a special screen surrounding the doors and windows. You will have your own comfortable bed to rest on each night and all privacy you need to recharge and contemplate the day’s events. The Tambo’s are rustic, yet spacious and are guaranteed to offer you an authentic Peruvian forest experience.
