Two Worlds, One Future

We invite you to the amazon rainforest, into a world so different from home. A place for drastic transformation, inspiration and an answering of a call to a great mission. 

 

The Prophecy

The Eagle and the Condor prophecy of the Amazon speaks of long ago when human societies split into two different paths—that of the Eagle and that of the Condor. The path of the Condor is the path of heart, of intuition, and of the feminine. The path of the Eagle is the path of the mind, of the industrial, and of the masculine.

The prophecy says that during the next 500-year period, beginning in 1990, the potential would arise for the Eagle and the Condor to come together, to fly in the same sky, and to create a new level of consciousness for humanity. The prophecy only speaks of the potential, so it's up to humanity to activate this potential and ensure that a new consciousness is allowed to arise.

The Medicine

Yagé

 

Yagé is a vine that is entangled among the millenary trees of our tropical jungles. Our indigenous ancestors (among which are the Sionas, the Cofán and the Coreguaje) have transmitted the sacred recipe of the brew from generation to generation, and have cultivated the study of the medicine to guide and heal their path through life and their relationship with each other and Nature. The Yagé brew is similar to Ayahuasca but has a different recipe. It purges and cleanses the three bodies of the human being, while harmonizing them bringing visions and awakening the consciousness within.

 

Rebirth

Temazcal

 

Through this traditional purifying steam bath you will have a profound meditative cleanse to liberate all the toxins in your body, mind and soul. It has long been considered to be a re-birth ceremonial cleanse, compared to the moment we leave the heat of the mother´s womb to breathe on our own for the first time.

 

The Healers

Taita Herminsul Lucitante & Taita Fermando Lezama

 

Taita Herminsul 

Son of the past Elder Guillermo Lusitante and the abuela Beatriz Lusitante, Herminsul has inherited the lineage of “people of the tiger” Yagé knowers of the Cofán tribe. His chants are known for their healing and cleansing power. He perpetuates the ancestral wisdom, study and practice of the millenary Yagé tradition among his community in the jungle.

 

Taita Fernando 

Began his studies of shamanism at the age of 5, summoned by the Elder Juvenal Motunbajoy and was ready to conduct ceremonies at the age of 12. Still, he continued with this mentor for many more years serving and deepening in this spiritual science. Throughout his apprenticeship, he has studied the medicine with Siona, Cofan and Coreguaje elders, which brings together three aspects of ancestral wisdom of Yagé. He cooks his own remedy in the jungle, which guarantees that the medicine is pure, without any ingredient foreign to the traditional preparation.

 
 

Preparation

- Important for women to not attend the retreat if these dates are during your menstrual cycle. It is very important to the shamans that when doing energy work we respect and honor the female ceremony of the cycle and not mix it with the frequencies of the healing session. For more information please reach out, we would love to explain more.

 

- Refrain from sexual activity 3 days prior to ceremony. We do this to have the maximum life force energy/strength in our body for ceremony. This includes all forms of sexual energy release.

 

Dieta

The diet also known as the 'dieta' is a preparation designed to keep people safe during the ceremony and can also be used to demonstrate one’s determination.

 

- One week prior or minimum 3 days & 24h after avoid foods such as red meat, pork, dairy, spicy foods, garlic, citrus, onion, dark drinks (coffee, sodas...) ice, ice cream, ice cold drinks, fermented foods/drinks such as kombucha and alcohol 3 days or minimum 24 hours before ceremony. Instead eat plant based foods, as much organic, gluten free & as natural as possible. Fish is ok, eggs are ok, eat veggies, lentils, soups, rice, beans, fruits…

- Avoid synthetic soap, perfume, toiletries, etc.  

-Preparing your mind with a diet from social media, TV and instead meditation, journaling, gratitude practices can be useful.
