The Way of the Elders

1-Month Intensive Initiation & Training

Amazonian Shamanism

A deep immersion into Amazonian Traditional Medicine and the Asháninka ancestral wisdom.

This intensive one-month program is designed for therapists, spiritual seekers, nature lovers, and anyone who feels called to explore ancestral healing with respect and humility. Participants will learn to work with ayahuasca and other master plants, practice traditional cleansing dietas (plant-based healing retreats) with a particular focus on dieting with natural tobacco and develop the foundational skills needed to facilitate ceremonies and support healing processes.

Participants will be guided by Asháninka women healers in an immersive group training that combines hands-on practice, ceremony, and spiritual reflection. The program is rooted in the Asháninka philosophy of Kametsa Asaiki living well together in harmony with nature and the community.

What You Will Experience

  • Ayahuasca ceremonies, ritual steam sessions (Vaporeo), and initiation rites

  • Learning traditional healing practices, ícaros (healing songs), and essential plant medicine techniques
