About this Retreat
Your Guides
Heir of the Payaguaje and Quenamá linage, from Siona and Cofán tradition.
He is a shaman, a protector of the community and a wisdom keeper, trained since he was 8 years old to become a master of the science of Yagé (Ayahauasca) and the spirit world. He has learned from 11 different shamans, and was isolated from the western world for him to receive the purest ancestral knowledge.
He started to travel out from the jungle in 1996, to share the medicine in different places with the permission and the blessing of his masters. Since then, he’s been dedicating his life to share and to help humanity, teaching about medicine on a national and international level.
During the retreat he will be guiding part of the ayahuasca ceremonies and the individual tabacco cleanses. His medicine is pure power and love, you can really feel his energy and the guidance in the experience as well as the sweetness of an elder while going to the purest and most profound journey.
Our lovely Maima Elvia Descanse, she comes from a very ancient linage of shamans from a nomad community that used to inhabit the rivers, she grew with the knowledge of the water until she settle into a Cofán community in Santa Rosa de Sucumbíos. She became wife of the son of the grandfather Taita Guillermo Lucitante Yaiguaje, so she started drinking ayahuasca and learning from one of the most imoprtant authorities in Colombia, apart from grandfather Taita Querubín Queta.
She will be leading and guiding 2 of the ayahuasca ceremonies.
She is daughter of the jungle and has the nature as her ally. She is a mother of 6 children and holds the ceremonies and accompanies people the same way she does with her children. With the purest love and tenderness, she brings a very powerful medicine full of light.
Our brother, friend and Taita Samith Osorio. Originally from Medellín-Antioquia in Colombia. He spent much of his youth in the Cofán territory of Santa Rosa de Sucumbío, where for 8 years he was an apprentice to Grandfather Guillermo Lucitante Yaiguaje.
There he learned the science of Yagé and the jungle, living and growing alongside a true lineage of Taitas.
Samith has been and is a light on our path that always guides us and enlightens us with his knowledge, with his example as a human being and as Taita, both in daily life and in the mastery that he demonstrates in ceremonies as well as when cooking Yagé.
His word is wisdom and his way of acting is an example to follow.
A great medicine musician, he walks this path with a lot of love, respect, humility and commitment with his family, his wife and his children.
He will be the one guiding us during the medicine brewing workshop and will guide and lead 2 ayahuasca ceremonies and the 'vomitivo' purgative ceremony.
