9-day Ayahuasca and Kambo Amazon Retreat

I want to start our conversation telling you that my life through the ayahuasca medicine path started in 2008, but working with my ancestral lineage started much earlier. Since I was a youth, I was actively participating in the healing ceremonies that my family practices: we are descendants of a Andean tradition. My father is a hampy camayoc, and my great grandmother was the curandera of her little village, Quiquijana. This district is located in Quispicanchis, Cusco. My fathers lineage is traced back almost 600 years. Now my work with energy medicine (such as Andean offerings), Amazonian plant medicine, Huachuma and Ayahuasca is dedicated to these familiar maestros. In 2017 I started Novalis alongside my wife and dear friend. I am director of our center, and we are dedicated to conservation. We are the stewards of over 2000 hectares of primary rainforest in the south-east Peruvian Amazon. I have been living and working in these jungles since 2006, and I know the people and plants here well. Thank you for considering to work with us.

Loyver is from the Alto Ucayali region, and was born in the community of San Francisco de Yarina Cocha. As a young boy he was first initiated by his mother, a healer who was trained by her grandfather, father and father-in-law, who recounted her many experiences of Medicine and ceremony to her young son. Two important lineages came together in Loyver (or Wesha´kea, his Shipibo name, which signifies 'infinite patterns of possibility'): the lineage of his maternal grandfather, who contacted him in dream from early age and taught him to dream lucidly, and the lineage of his paternal grandfather, a traditional Shipibo ayahuasquero. Loyver learned how to heal with ayahuasca and the pharmacopeia of the rainforest through many years of ceremony and dieta in isolation. Loyver also traveled through the region of Ucayali to study and take medicine with other masters and some relatives during his young adulthood. He also works as an artist, exhibiting his paintings throughout Peru. His paintings tell the most exquisite tales through expressing some of his experiences with the medicine.

Fatua has been walking the medicine path for many years as a stewardess between heaven and earth. After studying art at the University of Colorado, Fatua spent years studying various styles of yoga and began teaching. Yoga was the gateway to her path of expansion, and it led her to move to the island of Kauai to study massage therapy at the Pacific Center for Awareness and Bodywork. Her years living on island brought her to explore Hawaiian lomi lomi massage, reiki, and harvesting plants to make herbal medicines at a local herb farm. Intrigued by the healing power of plants, she followed her heart to Peru to explore the medicinal plants of the Andes and Amazon rainforest. Peru opened the doorway to her current holistic practice, which includes energy medicine from the lineage of the Qero’ people of the high Andes mountains, serving akate’, more commonly known as “kambo” frog medicine, and facilitating cacao ceremonies. She annually makes trips down to Peru to continue studying and working with plant medicine and immersing in the practice of traditional plant dietas, which offer her more insight into the world of plants and energy and assist her in connecting with the songs of nature. ​ Her studies include: The Four Winds Light Body School with Alberto Villoldo, a shamanic energy medicine training intensive involving energetic medicine practices from Peru Sonic Love Alchemy and Sophology with Amma Sophia Rose, learning the art of sacred sound healing and ancient womb mysteries African drumming and ancestral connection with Chris Berry Kambo frog medicine in the states with Boa Cowee, how to treat specific case clients with Caitlin Thompson, immersive study in the Peruvian Amazon with her teacher Johnny Java, who is of the lineages Kichwa and Matses in Peru, and also visiting and partaking in medicine with the Ibama (a new branch of the Matses tribe) in the jungle. ​ Ongoing explorations of shamanic plant ethnobotany in the Amazon rainforest with various medicine men and women Fatua is also the creatrix of Soul Melody Cacao, importing organic cacao grown by a Jane’, an Ashaninka woman she connected with while in the Amazon rainforest. She continues to support her farm and the people of her village of Boca Pariamanu, and now supports a Mayan women's cacao collective in Guatemala as well. She is also a songwriter, musician, and African style drummer. Fatua is grateful to be of service to Pachamama, our beautiful planet earth, and humanity at this time. She believes we are here to cultivate the new earth we dream of, and is dedicated to helping you find your freedom within, to claim your sovereignty, and restore your connection to source and your inner divinity. She looks forward to assisting you on your healing journey. She is currently based in Taos, New Mexico, and available for long distance sessions worldwide over the phone.
