About this Retreat
Maestro Amer is 27 years old. He comes from a family of healers. Amer drunk Ayahuasca for the first time with 7 years. Also at that age he started to learn from his grandfathers.
Amer not only learned from his family. He also went to other different teachers. For example he stayed 4 years to learn with the tribe of the Ashaninca.
(There are 48 tribes in Peru. 12 of them work with Ayahuasca.)
Maestro Amer participated in over a 2000 ceremonies over the years. First as apprentice and assistant of his grandfathers. Then he participated as equally capable healer. All in the time, when his grandfathers gave ceremoies in their places.
Since 13 years Amer gives ceremonies independently for other people at his home. His grandfather is still around and he participates in most ceremonies. The grandfather is also available for advice and consultation.
Also the cousin of Amer works for him. The cousin, Maestro Henarte, is 48 years old. He has dieted over 10 years and is an experienced Maestro from the same lineage.
Maestro Henarte is 48 years old and the Cousin of Masestro Amer. He has dieted over 10 years. He works for Maestro Amer, taking care of things like cooking medicine.
Hello,
my name is André. Im 43 (2024) and I´m for the second time in Peru to work and learn with the plants.
With the healing, lessons and experiences I recieved in my first journey of 10 months I decided to come back for longer.
I met Maestro Amer in the last month of my first trip. Considering the passion regarding working with the plants and the friendliness and respect he and his family treated us clients with, I decided to come back to get more healing and to learn with him.
Some tips if you want to go to Peru for Ayahuasca for the first time:
For your own savety:
Be in the hotel, hostel at nightfall. Be like that until you know that the area is save at night.
Avoid to be on trainstations or busstations at night.
Always watch your luggage. Even more so on bussations. etc.
Have a neck pouch. For credit cards, passport cash money.
Dont pay with big bills. Your change might be gone. Some people try to scam you for the change.
The three most important things in town:
Smartphone, credit card, comfortable shoes (most towns in Peru have ALOT of concrete.)
The three most important things in the jungle:
A flashlight( on a lanyard around the neck), slippers or flipflops, long sleeves + long legged pants and reppellent for Moskito protection.
Some people travel with one 50L backpack. I have an 80L backpack.
A suitcase can be used. But it puts you at a disadvantage i.E. on a dirtroad after the rain.
If you are not taller then 1,85m - 1,90m (6' 2") and shoesize 45 (US 12.5) or smaller fits you, you can buy clothes and shoes cheaply in Pucallpa.
Things I bring for longer stays:
Clothes:
-3 long sleeved pair of pants, one functional, one pair of jeans, the 3rd whatever you like (long sleeves are the best protection against Moskitos. Jeans don´t rip apart so easily on a jungle tour.)
-3-4 long sleeved shirts (Moskito and sun protection),
-2+ T-Shirts and 2+shorts,
-swimming shorts,
-5 sets of underwear (shorts, T-Shirts, socks),
-one hat for sunprotection
-Sweater with Zipper and Hoodie,
-One fleece jacket (it can get cold in the jungle at night! Especially in dry season, when cold winds come from the Andes),
-one tissue, thin scarf or equally functional,
-Rainjacket or Rainponcho (optional: little Umbrella),
-2-5 hankerchiefs,
Technical items and gear:
-one good stainless steel bottle, single walled with 1L volume or more),
-minimum one flashlight!!! with a lanyard for your neck. We have enough solar power to recharge flashlights and AAA or AA batteries. Also good to have: lantern and headlight)
-Moskito Repellent,
-Powerbank for the phone or for charging flashlight batteries.,
-Notebook as diary and for your notes, coloured pencils if you want to draw your visions,
-a little brush for cleaning purposes,
-a tropical sleeping bag with square shape. It can be turned into a blanket and is a fantastic comfort item!,
-a Leatherman or other Multitool (I use it ALOT!),
-Pocket knife,
-a fanny pack and a little backpack (cheap in Pucallpa and both are very useful to carry
-toilet paper,
-soap,
-water or
-daytrip supplies.
---
I heard the call of Ayahuasca to come into the jungle. I had alot of troubles in my life and I came to Peru for healing. In my first ceremonies Ayahuasca invited me to work with her.
alot of healing and transformation from the Maestra Ayahuasca, will get more and Im in training with Maestro Jorge.
Considering the help I got from Maestro Jorge, I´m convincted that other people in the world could need his help. Therefore I´m supporting him with presenting his services on the internet.
-Connecting good people with good people!
Also beneath my training I´m the facilitator working for him, helping with translation into spanish and taking care of clients.
Details of this retreat
We speak English, german and spanish.
This offer is adressed at you, if you want to take a little time upfront first to find out if our place and our Maestros are what you have in mind. I.E. this retreat gives you the opportunity to talk about what kind of thematic you want to get healing for. You can learn about and discuss about the opportunities and services we can offer regarding healing and working with Master plants. Also you can find out about the comforts of our place and how living is with us.
As a reminder:
You have to understand that dieting plants and to get healing with Ayahuasca is not a vacation. It can be tough to face the darkness that prevents us from having the happy life of our dreams. To face this darkness can be real adults work that takes courage! One has to be willing to leave the own comfort zone.
This can especially be tough, while adjusting to the conditions of the jungle (heat, Moskitos, simple infrastructure).
IN THE END IT IS ALL WORTH IT!
We do our best to help you with your adjustment to the jungle. We know from experience how to help you.
To mention a few things regarding that:
-Every meal gets cooked freshly,
-Filtered drinking water bought from professional places,
-Providing a Moskitonet for you bed,
-We help you to be save in the Pucallpa area, until you know your ways around.
Do you understand that other countries have other manners? Are you able to do what it takes to step out of your own comfortzone?
I.E. you will wash yourself with the water you have pulled by yourself out of the well. Also there is very little electricity.
Can you handle that?
If yes, there will be the nessecary attention so that you can get your healing and a freshly made bed waiting for you in Centro Yacuruna plantas medicinales.
About the center:
The center Yacuruna plantas medicinales was founded by Amer on the family property. Only for the past 3-4 years the center recieved the first foreigners. I.E. Americans, Germans, Austrians.
Before that for many years the place was frequently visited by Peruvians, Brasilians and people from villages in the area.
The term "traditonal Shipibo retreat experience" is a well used term in the industry. In the past, like 50 years ago, this meant the Maestro, his apprentice and the client had the ceremony in the same room, where the wife and the five children of the Maestro where sleeping in. This can still be common in the villages on the Ucayali river.
In Maestro Amers case the place has grown from that to what it is today with several private casas, a dedicated ceremonial room and a kitchen house.
In the center the family members have their own private accommodation. But the place is as traditional as it can be. Several generations are around. And the family members will help you in a very friendly way with your needs. You will life in a family environment while staying at the center.
