About this Retreat
Your Guides
Santiago is a highly respected Shaman and a gifted healer. He has learned sacred teachings from many ancestral traditions. Santiago carries the blessings of his tribal chiefs, family, many indigenous Elders and the Spirit of the South. He is a Sun dancer, carrier of the sacred Chanupa (sacred pipe), and holds space for Vision Quests. Santiago has received many intitations from the Inca Elders, including the holy bundle of the South, the Misha Cuyas, and is a Pampamisayoc, an Andean Priest.
Santiago devoted his life to the shamanic path at age 26 after overcoming a serious illness. He is the guardian of one of the last San Pedro and Willka trees forests in southern Ecuador, preparing it in the traditional way to be used for healing purposes. His medicine songs, prayers and blessings carry a powerful intention to heal the heart with the sacred spirit of San Pedro.
