About this Retreat
Born and raised in Mexico, Rodrigo has devoted his life to the path of healing, ceremony & self-realisation.
With over 16 years of experience in transpersonal psychotherapy, including work within psychiatric and mental health institutions in Mexico City, he bridges modern western psychology with ancestral wisdom.
Introduced to ceremonial life at the age of 11, he was guided by elders who recognised his path.
Since then, he has walked deeply with indigenous traditions including Toltec, Mayan, Aztec, Shipibo, Lakota & more…
Training for years in the Amazon in Ayahuasca traditions, mastering Temazcal (sweat lodge), and working with sacred medicines including Ayahuasca, Bufo, Kambo & Cacao.
Rodrigo works through:
Transpersonal psychotherapy & psychoanalysis
Shadow work, inner child & ancestral healing
Mindfulness, breathwork & somatic awareness
Sacred ceremony & integration
A master ceremonialist, holding deep integrity, respect & devotion to the medicines & traditions he carries.
His mission is to serve the highest good, supporting the expansion of consciousness, and guiding others into alignment with their soul’s purpose, truth & freedom.
My journey into yoga and healing service was one gifted to me, long before i was aware of it I was born in Angola mixed with a Portuguese background. I grew up with a natural sensitivity to the unseen, able to perceive people’s auras, spirits, and energetic fields from an early age. In 2020, during a time when resurfaced trauma memories left me feeling lost and suicidal, I found Yoga. Through its practice, I experienced a profound transformation that helped me reconnect to life. My love for Yoga’s profound healing power inspired me to become a Yoga teacher so I could keep sharing its light with others. In 2022, I travelled to Rishikesh, India, where I completed a 200-hour Yoga teacher training in Hatha, Yin & Ashtanga, along with breathwork & meditation practices.
In this path, I have discovered and activated a deep remembrance of who I am beyond the trauma & ‘what happened to me’. As I released the energetic weight held in my body and subconscious, I reconnected with the sensitivity, awareness, and intuition that had always been there beneath the fog. That’s when my mediumship reawakened, allowing me to reconnect with seeing auras, feeling deeper energetic frequencies, and communicating with my guides and ancestors.
In 2021, I felt called to complete a Level 1 & 2 Reiki Healing Certificate, which naturally evolved into Quantum Healing Energy Work guided by Ancestral Toltec & African Indigenous practices, supported by self-development practices as well as Plant Medicine healing.
My approach is rooted in trauma-informed and nervous system-regulating care, shaped by my training in Trauma-Informed Care for Coaches Certification. Weaving together science and spirit, the somatic and the mystical, creating a grounded yet expansive space for healing and remembrance.
Details of this retreat
Enter the Amazon. Return to Yourself.
Are you ready to step away from the familiar, change your perspective, and create space for a profound inner transformation?
For seven days, you are invited into the Peruvian Amazon, to Sanin Mai Healing Center in Contamana, a remote and immersive sanctuary surrounded by rainforest, medicinal plants, waterways, and the sounds of the jungle.
This is more than a retreat. It is an opportunity to slow down, disconnect from everyday life, reconnect with nature, and explore the depths of your own inner world through ancestral plant traditions, ceremony, therapeutic practices, and conscious integration.
The journey is held by experienced Shipibo-Conibo maestros and maestras, alongside therapists, yoga and breathwork practitioners, and other members of the support team. The maestros who guide the plant work have devoted many years of their lives to learning and serving these traditions, bringing deep knowledge of their lineage, ceremonial protocols, and relationship with the plants.
A Complete Journey of Preparation, Ceremony & Integration
You will have time to prepare your body and mind, enter into ceremony, rest and integrate, learn from the plants and the land, and reflect on how the experience can translate into your everyday life.
The program includes:
3 Master Plant ceremonies
1 Sapo ceremony
1 Tobacco ceremony
Master plant treatment
Traditional plant cleansing practices
3 medicinal plant saunas
4 plant baths, including cleansing and aromatic “blooming” baths
Herbal waters and traditional plant infusions
Daily yoga, breathwork and meditation
Self-development and integration workshops
Family constellations work
Dialogue and integration with the maestros
Medicinal plant teachings and recognition
Jungle exploration and connection with the land
Visit to Chia Tipishca Lake
Traditional diet-cutting ceremony
A special Amazonian farewell meal
The Wisdom of the Plants
Plant work is woven throughout the retreat, not limited to the ceremony space.
Depending on the day's practice, traditional plants are prepared as herbal waters, teas, baths, saunas, and cleansing preparations. Plants such as hierbaluisa, Piñón Colorado, Marusa, Amasisa, lemon, and varieties of Tanti Rao are incorporated into different practices, while other Amazonian plants and barks are used traditionally in sauna and cleansing preparations.
You will also have the opportunity to learn about medicinal plants directly within their Amazonian environment, exploring their traditional functions and relationship to Shipibo knowledge.
The experience invites you to encounter the plants not simply as substances, but within a broader relationship of tradition, intention, ceremony, nature, and respect.
The Ceremony Journey
The retreat includes three Master Plant ceremonies, each approached within a broader process of preparation and integration.
Ceremonies are held with the guidance of the Shipibo-Conibo maestros, incorporating traditional practices such as icarado tobacco, sacred songs, cleansing, and other ceremonial protocols.
Between ceremonies, there is dedicated time for rest, reflection, dialogue, plant work, and integration. You will have opportunities to ask questions, share your experience, and explore what arises during the journey.
The retreat also includes a Sapo ceremony and Tobacco ceremony as part of the wider program.
Beyond the Ceremony
Transformation does not happen only during ceremony.
Throughout the week, the retreat creates space to explore the experiences that emerge and consider how they relate to your life outside the jungle.
Through self-development workshops, family constellations, breathwork, yoga, meditation, guided reflection, and conversations with the support team, you are supported every step of the way & invited to look at patterns, relationships, beliefs, and choices with greater awareness.
The intention is not simply to have a powerful experience, but to give you tools to understand, integrate, and meaningfully apply what you discover.
Life in the Jungle
Your accommodation is intentionally simple and connected to the environment: rustic jungle shacks with comfortable beds and mosquito nets, we get to sleep surrounded by the natural sounds of the Amazon!
Meals and the plant dieta are also part of the experience. Food is kept simple and supportive of the retreat program, with periods of fasting, herbal waters, teas, and nourishing meals throughout the week.
A visit to Chia Tipishca Lake and other special locations dives us into the opportunity to experience the Amazon and deepen your connection with the land.
The Community
Your full self is welcomed!
One of the most beautiful aspects of this experience is the sense of connection that develops between participants.
You arrive as individuals and, throughout the week, have the opportunity to become part of a close community.
United by everything we experienced together in this unique Amazonian portal.
A Journey of Remembrance
Perhaps you are looking for a new direction.
Perhaps you feel disconnected from yourself, caught in old patterns, or simply know that something in your life is ready to change.
Perhaps there is no single thing you are looking to “fix” — you simply feel called to go deeper.
Whatever brings you here, you are invited to arrive exactly as you are.
This retreat is an invitation to explore:
Who am I beneath the stories I have carried?
What am I ready to release?
What wants to be expressed through me?
What does living from my authentic self actually look like?
How can I bring more love, presence, creativity, and truth into my life?
The metaphor we carry throughout the retreat is the transformation of the caterpillar into the butterfly.
Not becoming someone else.
Not forcing transformation.
But creating the conditions for something already within you to emerge.
The journey does not end when you leave the Amazon.
Integration is an important part of the retreat, helping you reflect on your experiences and consider the practical changes you want to carry forward.
Ultimately, this retreat is an invitation to come back to your center.
To reconnect with Self.
To listen more deeply.
To remember your own inner wisdom.
To meet yourself with greater compassion.
And to return home carrying not only memories of the Amazon, but a deeper awareness of how you want to live.
Come As You Are
The Amazon offers no promise of becoming a different person.
Instead, it offers something perhaps more valuable:
space to remember the person you already are.
Come with an open heart, curiosity, respect for the traditions, and a willingness to look within.
For seven days, let the jungle become your classroom, the plants your teachers, the community your support, and the journey a mirror for your own transformation.

Sanin Mai Healing Center
### A Sanctuary of Ancestral Plant Medicine in the Peruvian Amazon
Deep in the Amazonian jungle of Contamana, Loreto, Peru, lies Sanin Mai, a secluded center dedicated to ancestral plant medicine, traditional healing practices, and connection with the living wisdom of the Amazon.
This is a place to step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse yourself in nature, simplicity, and the traditions of the Shipibo-Conibo lineage. Surrounded by the rainforest and the powerful presence of the Amazon, Sanin Mai offers a space for deep introspection, purification, ceremony, and reconnection.
The center works with master plant dietas, traditional plant preparations, medicinal plant saunas, herbal baths, cleansing practices, and ceremonial work, guided by experienced Shipibo maestros and maestras. Sanin Mai Healing Center brings together ancestral knowledge with a supportive team focused on preparation, self-development, and integration.

Immersive Amazonian environment to explore the traditions, plants, practices, and teachings that have been carried through generations.
Sanin Mai is not simply where the retreat takes place — the land itself is an essential part of the journey.
