About this trip


The teacher plants are here to help us. To help us remember our connection to the web of life, to ALL of life.  They are here to remind us of our unique, sacred mission to help support life on our planet. 


Our wish for you is to experience a life-changing week of healing in this enchanted portal. The week will consist of collaborating with the Spirits of the Apus (Andean Mountains), the elements of Earth, Wind, Water and Fire, Grandmother Ayahusaca, Grandfather Tabacco, Mama Coca and other elementals.

Who We Are:

Denise and Cesar bring a combined 20 years experience. This husband & wife team have been leading international retreats and ceremonies since 2013. Prior to that they were students for many years, cultivating a deep relationship with the sacred, master plant, Ayahuasca. Traveling from the Andes to the Amazon, learning from teachers and masters from all walks of life and lineage. 


They humbly channel the healing energy of Madre Ayahuasca through sacred song, silence and a keen intuition. They help midwife participants through each ceremony by supporting them to find their inner guru and release blocks and dense traumas/energy that prevent them from living life fully.


This is a rare opportunity to be personally guided by these gifted healers. To be held in an energetic container of love and to do deep healing work in a safe and supportive way.

Health History

Sitting with Ayahuasca is not to be taken lightly. Preparation is needed. These are healing circles for people who are humble, respectful and honoring of the sacredness of this gathering and the plant medicines. It is for people who can understand and appreciate the transformational spirit of the work involved.

 

Participation in ceremony can involve dramatic experiences accompanied by strong emotional and physical release. This ceremony is not appropriate for people with certain medical conditions or for people using certain medications.


Each participants will need to answer a few health history questions to make sure it is a good fit. 


This diet below will need to be followed 7 days prior, during the retreat and a minimum of 3 days after:


1. No alcohol or drugs (includes marijuana) 
2. Eat vegetarian (No pork or red meat. Fish and eggs are OK to eat)
3. Minimize salt, sugar, dairy and oil
4. No spicy foods
5. No fermented food or drink such as kombucha or kimchi
6. No sex
7. No coffee or caffeine 
8. No fried foods
9. Highly processed foods and foods with chemical additives

The reason for eliminating processed foods, and most importantly fermented foods (This means no soy, or soy milk, no miso, cheese, tempeh, tamari, beer, wine etc.) is because of the high Tyramine content in these foods. This accompanied with the medicine can raise blood pressure and create a hypertensive state.

The cleaner your system is the easier it is for the medicine to work on you which means it will be easier on your physical body.
