About this Retreat
Jesus Dagua - Medicine Man (Yachak), Tribal President
Meet Jesus Dagua, a Yachak or medicine man, and Tribal President who has devoted his life to learning about the healing power of master plants. From a young age, Jesus had a calling to work with medicinal plants and dreamed of his ancestors sharing their knowledge with him. Today, he continues to work with plant medicine and has helped countless people with the spiritual knowledge of his ancestors.
As a medicine man, Jesus is connected with the plant spirits and continues to receive powerful dreams of ancestral knowledge of these plants. He asks his guides to leave him the knowledge to help facilitate healing for people. Jesus spends his spare time alone, indulging in his ancestral knowledge, cleansing himself of energy by bathing in waterfalls or rivers and growing plants for the future.
If you are thinking of visiting Jesus and his community to participate in an Ayahuasca ceremony, he encourages you to be confident in yourself and to fast on the day of the ceremony. Jesus advises us to be comfortable with ourselves, forget the bad experiences that have happened in life, and focus on the good things that await in the future. He encourages asking the ancestral medicine from the heart to help heal, and bring peace, love, happiness, and wisdom in one's life.
Jesus and his community can't wait to meet you and welcome you to their ancestral healing traditions.
Ashka Pagrachu! (Thank you)"
Warmi Yachak (Medicine Woman), Tribal Eder
Mama Marlene Guatatuca is a Warmi Yachak (Medicine Woman) and Tribal Elder who has spent over 45 years studying and practicing native medicinal plant healing to support her community and those who seek healing at Sacha Wasi. Her extensive knowledge of traditional plant medicine is a testament to her dedication and respect for her ancestors and their teachings. Mama Marlene is also a skilled community midwife and has a deep understanding of women's health, making her a valuable resource for her community.
As an elder of the indigenous Kichwa people, Mama Marlene strongly believes in the ancient wisdom and healing that comes from the use of ayahuasca in traditional ceremonies. She sees it as a powerful tool to connect with the spirit world and receive guidance, healing, and insights. Mama Marlene believes that the indigenous knowledge of plant medicine is a precious inheritance from their ancestors and should be respected and preserved. At Sacha Wasi, she is dedicated to sharing this knowledge with her community and helping others benefit from the healing powers of traditional plant medicine.
As a Warmi Yachak, Mama Marlene has a special connection to the feminine spirit and energy, which she believes is essential for healing and balance. She often incorporates this energy into her healing practices and ceremonies to help her guests connect with their own feminine energy and intuition. Her deep connection to the earth and her ancestors is evident in everything she does, and she believes that the plants and the earth are our greatest teachers and healers. Mama Marlene's work is a beautiful example of the power of traditional medicine and the importance of preserving indigenous knowledge and wisdom for future generations.
Mario is a seeker of consciousness with ten years of experience deepening his practice and teaching styles derived from Hatha Yoga. His approach focuses on rescuing the ancestral knowledge of yoga, understanding that its wisdom was also present in ancient cultures such as the Egyptian and Toltec civilizations in Central America. For him, in ancient times there existed a single interconnected humanity, and this vision inspires him to connect deeply with his inner memory.
He currently lives in the jungle, seeking a more intimate relationship with the whole. His mission within the Sacha Wasi community is to train new teachers, create volunteer programs that support the community, and teach English to the children, as he considers this an essential step toward the evolution and preservation of these lands.
Mario is a natural seeker who gains knowledge through direct experience and through the guidance he feels comes from the stars. Throughout his spiritual path, and after working with master plants alongside various yachaks and healers, he developed a profound connection with the medicine of changa (organic DMT). He now offers therapies aimed at dissolving traumas and facilitating connection with what he calls “the holographic universe.”
Among his other skills are sound healing through his voice and ancestral instruments, energy work through Reiki and pranic healing, and the cultivation of masculine sexual energy.
The Dagua family is a living lineage of jungle guardians, where spiritual and medicinal knowledge is passed down from generation to generation. Each member has grown up learning the rituals, chants, sacred plants, and forms of connection that sustain the energetic and emotional well-being of their people.
This preparation is not a course or a workshop—it's a way of life, cultivated from childhood through observation, practice, and deep respect for the rainforest.
As a collective, Sacha Wasi is fully prepared to guide ceremonies and hold the energetic field for the groups that arrive in their territory. Its members work in harmony to create safe, grounded, and spiritually aligned spaces where each participant can enter profound processes of healing and expansion.
The strength of Sacha Wasi lies in their unity: in how the entire community supports the ceremonial space, balances energies, cares for the environment, and accompanies the journey of those seeking an authentic connection with the Amazon and with their own essence.
Marisela “Doctora Sananda” is a guide who integrates the clarity of modern medicine with the depth of ancestral traditions. A Medical Doctor specializing in Chinese Medicine, with further training in Crystal Therapy and Taoist Alchemy, she has dedicated her life to exploring how primordial energy can become a pathway to healing, expanded consciousness, and personal transformation.
Her path has intertwined with music, dance, and breathwork as tools to open expanded states of presence. In collective spaces, her energy holds and supports profound processes, helping seekers release stored memories, reconnect with their bodies, and awaken their inner strength.
Through her Ascension Dance, Sananda guides a journey of bodily awareness and energetic refinement: elevating instinctive energy toward higher centers, harmonizing organs and emotions, and opening clarity to manifest heart-centered projects.
In her Therapeutic Massage and Energy Medicine sessions, she identifies physical and subtle blockages with precise touch. She stimulates key points, mobilizes tissues, and restores original energy while using quartz crystals as allies for deep harmonization.
Her mission is to help you remember something essential: your power to heal already lives within you.
Her presence is an invitation to open that portal with honesty, beauty, and awareness.
She is a soulful singer who channels her voice to evoke a conecction to the divine trought ancient mantras. her singing blends ancestral indian sounds and rhythms, creating a therapeutic experience that fosters both individual and collective well-being.
During live performances, She guide audiences on a sonic journey that moves from meditative to exhilarating , lifting the spirit and making every Kirtan a unique experience.

Body, mind, and emotions are addressed together in each therapy session. Treating human beings with humanity reminds us that we came here to experience life, not to become slaves to it.
His social projects, such as Yoga420 and the magazine Experiencia420, aim to create spaces for art, medicine, culture, and community. These platforms not only give people a place to express themselves and raise their voices, but also serve as a source of information to share and learn about medicinal plants and plants of power.
Harold Christopher, muralist and cultural manager from Guayaquil, known in the urban art scene as Cris Harold, has more than ten years of professional experience. His work is characterized by the use of a palette based on contrasts and complementary tones, seeking to create visual impact and communicate his ideas with precision.
His main influences are ancestry, identity, and environmental conservation—concepts he consistently incorporates into his visual language and personal style. A recurring element in his murals is the presence of a bee, a symbolic figure representing his commitment to the protection of the natural world.
He has participated in various national muralism festivals, as well as in community mural projects, contributing to the cultural activation of diverse territories. In addition, he works as a painting and muralism instructor, sharing his knowledge and experience with new generations of artists.
