About this Retreat
Don Gardel is from a family of curanderos: his grandfather was one, and his two brothers are shamans as well.
He learned ayahuasca from a Shipibo woman (la maestra Alicia) deep down on the river Momon. Now it’s 40 years that Don Gardel has been practicing this medicine.
When he was a young man, he had the chance to go to work near Brasil where the Matses people live. There he learned to use kambo. This in combination with his experience and studies as a nurse make of Gardel one of the most famous Kambo healer of Iquitos.
Now in the center he combines all the ancestral medicinese available: mambè, rapè, yopo etc.
Details of this retreat
