About this Retreat
Your Guides
Originally coming from Italy, I now live in the luscious sacred valley of Peru.
Before moving to Pisac, I lived and worked in various other locations in the world, including Colombia, Tanzania, Kenya and Nepal. I was involved in a number of humanitarian projects, specializing in child protection and emergency recovery.
My travels took me to India in 2015 to study Eastern philosophy and practice meditation. After my time in India, I travelled to Nepal to work on relief efforts after the earthquake. During this time in Nepal, I also continued to study to deepen my spiritual practice and understanding.
One thing became increasingly apparent to me during my travels: it was no longer an option to separate humanitarian work and spirituality. It was imperative for these two paths to converge at some point so that I could completely embody all that I had learned on my journey.
The search for more compassionate work in my life journey began the next chapter in my life.
I first embarked on the Camino De Santiago, I then travelled to South America, finally landing in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Here, I came into contact with the Master Plants of Ayahuasca and San Pedro for the first time and with the Andean cosmovision and the way of living of the indigenous people of Peru, specifically with the Q'eros.
This experience changed my life so deeply, I chose to abandon my previous path and continued my journey in the Peruvian Andes, where I feel the way of life is simple, yet complete. I since have been deepening my relationship with the Sacred Plants, also by working for several month in a retreat centre in the peruvian jungle, and I studied the principle of the Andean Cosmovision and worked with indigenous communities since.
I am eternally grateful to the sacred Master plants, to our amazing indigenous groups and the Maestros we work with,that teach us everyday a more real and meaningful connection among us and the universe.
I wish only to share with others this gift, the search for knowledge, truth and love.
Details of this retreat
Welcome to this spiritual retreat in the magnificent Sacred Valley of Peru, an extraordinary experience designed to help you reconnect deeply with yourself, Pachamama (Mother Earth), and ancient Andean traditions. This transformative journey combines ceremonies with Sacred Plants such as Ayahuasca and San Pedro, the wisdom of the Andean Cosmovision and native peoples, and the natural beauty of the region, along with the mysteries of the ruins of the ancient Inca civilizations.
Participating in this journey means embarking on a return journey to the self. Seeing, feeling, and experiencing a different reality that guides you through your personal truth and transformation.
For this reason, this retreat is for those seeking deep inner transformation, a connection with Andean traditions, healing, and reconnection with themselves through Sacred Plants, and the exploration of the mystical places of the Sacred Valley.
It is open to participants of all ages and levels of experience, but the main requirement, as we will also work with sacred plants, is to respect a specific diet before participating in the retreat.
We will discuss it extensively during our introductory call.
