“The man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without” – Ernest Hemingway
07H00 AM The experiential adventure of spiritual healing will begin, starting from the beautiful city of El Coca, where we will travel for 2 hours by road, then we will sail by canoe for 1 hour through the majestic Shiripuno river until we reach our retreat site in the middle of the jungle of the Shuar community.
What you are about to experience is something totally unique beyond imagination. Surrounding yourself with nature makes it easier for us to balance your spiritual energy for the night ceremony. When you arrive, you will be received by a wise man in an unprecedented traditional way with the ritual of the spear and “Tsaant-tobacco”. This welcome is a fundamental part of the spirituality of the Shuar people. After arriving you will have the opportunity to participate in the preparation of ayahuasca with the Uwishin “Wise” and learn from his ancestral wisdom until the moment of your personal encounter with the spirit of the plant arrives.
Your spiritual ceremony continues at 5 am on the Shiripuno river. At the end of the activity, you will have a moment of purification – meditation as a farewell.
09:00 AM We will return to the beautiful city of El Coca where we will finish our activities.
