About this Retreat
Juan Carlos is a dedicated individual who walks the path of medicine. His harmonious energy, a fusion of the masculine and feminine, creates a balanced and secure environment for profound inner work and astral exploration.
Descending from the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, Juan Carlos was raised in a culture deeply rooted in the use of plant medicine facilitated by curanderos (shamans). He is also a gifted painter of visionary art, which became the gateway to his journey with healing plants.
From the young age of 16, Juan Carlos has been a student of and communicator with these wise plant teachers, who continue to illuminate his path today. He traverses the realms of existence and consciousness, guiding souls through these ethereal dimensions. Through sacred songs known as icaros, he channels the presence of the medicine, offering precise and compassionate guidance to participants.
With great reverence, Juan Carlos answers the call of the Great Spirit, journeying to distant lands while always returning to the jungle to purify himself and delve deeper into the boundless wisdom this path reveals. His commitment lies in upholding these ancient rituals as they have been practiced for millennia, preserving the legacy of these traditions for the betterment of all those he encounters.
Dedicated to the stewardship of sacred plants, Juan Carlos safeguards their natural habitats and participates in reforestation efforts, ensuring that they may continue to heal and inspire countless generations in the times to come.
