Peru Adventures
We are excited to announce two life changing retreats to the Amazon jungle and mountains of Peru, where we will be working with indigenous shamans learning from the master teacher and healing plants. These trips are perfect for anyone looking for healing on a physical, emotional or spiritual level; those needing direction on their path as well as those spiritual wisdom seekers wanting to experience the deep learning and magic that the plants and shamans have to offer.
Peru holds a rich tapestry of shamanic traditions and through our exciting adventures we get to experience some truly amazing teachings from some of the world’s wisest and open hearted Shamans and healers.
We will be working with many plants including Ayahuasca and San Pedro and experiencing indigenous shamanism in the forms of healing and ceremonies with both Andy and Donna facilitating workshops that will help in clarity and understanding such profound experiences.
Flight of the Dragonfly
21st August - 2nd September 2012
The jungles of the Amazon holds some of the most magical and mystical plant species. Alongside this runs the knowledge and experience of master healers who have an intimate working knowledge and understanding of the very essence of the plant world and world of spirit. Spirit is not a concept to these healers but part of their everyday fabric of life.
Ayahuasca is thought of by many of these indigenous shamans as the master plant that unlocks worlds of mystery and an innate understanding of the plant spirit world. Through working sacredly with Ayahuasca in traditional ceremonies, our groups can experience life changing visions and deep healings on a body and soul level.
We are working with a respected Shaman at a centre with the right ethos to bring together a truly powerful yet safe and nurturing course. The Shaman and his unique use not only of the Icaros (sacred healing songs of the plants) but also sound healing through instruments and light creates a sensory experience that works on a cellular level on our participants. This gifted healer is more than an Ayahuasquero he is also a fully trained herbalist working on each individual through diet, plants and ceremonies. He prescribes personal plant diets to correspond with what spirit tells him you need not necessarily what you want - he works on a healing level not to the whims of the westerners wants. This makes him authentic and more interested in healing than in egos.

Keys to your Soul
5th - 11th September 2012
This adventure takes place in the Andean mountains of Cusco where we are privileged to work with the native Q’ero Curanderos in a variety of ceremonies cleansing and honouring ourselves and giving thanks to pachamama, the mother earth itself. We are continuing the sacred plant theme with San Pedro ceremonies, the keeper of the keys to Paradise. This loving and nurturing experience brings us to a place of peace and humanity with our paths in life as well as with each other. San Pedro opens up your soul and sets you free to experience life as a spiritual being in a human form; it is the keys to your soul.
The Q’ero Curanderos are beings of light who have only been travelling down from their high altitude mountains to work with us for little over a decade. This is to fulfil their own messages from spirit to share their unique gifts at this great time of change and healing. The beauty of their ceremonies and humbleness touches all those privileged to work with them.
The San Pedro ceremonies will be held by La Gringa whose life was transformed after a visit to Peru where she was led to this work to help those in need of healing and direction. She is a warm loving female shaman whose work with San Pedro comes from a place of love, compassion and nurturing. Her sacred contract with San Pedro provides the framework for the most emotional, loving, forgiving, magical and transformational experiences to happen.
