The Concept of the Work

Has the Intent to connect our very essence (the Nature within) and work with a pragmatic spirituality, we put together the two heads of the same serpent with two of the most important tradition of Latin America: from the Amazon and the Andes.

This journey is a deep inner dive inside the safe context of the ancient shamanic traditions from Peru.

The Journey

In the first part we will be entering through the doorway of the diet tradition with master plants of vegetalists from upper Peruvian Amazon. Each participant will enter a retreat in the context of isolation in a individual tambo (hut) with a specific master plant supervised by the master Don Juan Flores. The plants will be cooked at the centre with the local medicinal water (from the Mayantuyaku’s river which is constantly boiling. It’s temperature varies from 80 to 100 degrees Celsius). In the diet we cut out most of external stimuli for the sake of maximum benefit of healing and learning with the plants. In other words, we quit sugar, salt, spicy foods, meats, fat and the use of shampoo, soap and toothpaste as well. The diet is the core work of this tradition were we grow in quality in the realms of Inner Work through the intimate relationship with the Rain Forest and all the guardian spirits of the master plants. We will have 3 sessions with ayahuasca in a period of 5 days at the sacred land of the Centre of Healing and School of Traditional Medicine, Mayantuyacu. (www.mayantuyacu.com)

In the second part we will be moving to the heart of the Peruvian Andes in the city of Carhuaz where the Centre of masters Don Tito and Doña Elbi La Rosa is located. After the intensive work in the jungle we will be entering a process of restoring the body in the light of Andes spirituality facilitated by the masters La Rosa. The work will be infused by Don Tito’s music with his pre-Hispanic sacred instruments and the teachings of Andes Cosmology by Doña Elba. We are going to visit 2 of the most important sacred sites of the Andes: the archaeological site of Chavín de Huantar and the sacred lake at the base of the highest mountain of the Peruvian Andes. As part of the work, we are going to make offerings to the local spirits following the Andes’ tradition in order to invite the local spirits to guard the individual Work.

The Intent for closing the work in the Andes is to gradually readapt the body and mind to return to the turmoil of daily life.
