2 Day Ayahuasca Retreat with the NOKE KOÎ tribe people, Lisbon - Portugal

Junia: Support and Presence on the Journey of Self-Discovery The work of Junia as a facilitator and psycho-spiritual therapist is grounded in a deep respect for the sovereignty of every being. She does not position herself as the agent of transformation, but rather as a guide and guardian who offers the necessary support for each person to walk their own path toward their essence. The Role of Sacred Medicines in Self-Discovery In Junia’s approach, forest medicines are understood as tools for the expansion of consciousness. They act as mirrors that reveal what is hidden, allowing the seeker to view their life through a new lens. The function of these medicines within the therapeutic support framework is: Expanding the Gaze: Facilitating access to perceptions that the logical mind often restricts, allowing for a broader understanding of one’s own history. Dissolving Barriers: Helping to soften ego defenses, creating a space of safe vulnerability where self-knowledge can flourish. Reconnection with Nature: Reminding the individual of their belonging to the whole, strengthening trust in the flow of life. Facilitation as a Path to Autonomy The hallmark of Junia’s work lies in preparation and integration. She understands that while medicines assist in self-discovery, it is the individual's conscious walking that generates true maturation. Preparation of Intention: Junia assists in organizing the inner world before the experience, helping the participant formulate the right questions and open themselves to what the journey may reveal. Guidance through the Crossing: During the experience, her presence offers the emotional security needed for the individual to feel encouraged to explore their own internal deserts and gardens. Integration of the Being: Following the experience, Junia’s role is to support anchoring. She helps translate spiritual insights into practical and conscious steps, ensuring that the journey of self-discovery is reflected in a more upright and authentic life. An Invitation to Presence To work with Junia is to have a point of support for diving into oneself. She acts as a facilitator of self-listening, providing the tools and protection so that each person can take the lead in their own existence, integrating mind and spirit in a continuous process of evolution.
