Ubuntu Ayni
The approach to our work is supported by the two concepts, Ubuntu and Ayn. For us, it is crucial that there be no hierarchy in our relationships with our guests, as we believe we are all on a path of growth and spiritual evolution, together navigating our own unique challenges. Each encounter is an opportunity to learn together from one another. Our work is based on being heart centered and available, in the present moment. In our opinion, most, if not all issues and challenges that we find ourselves experiencing day to day in our lives originate in the illusory concept of separation.We have collectively bought into an idea of separation, from one another, from our own being, our human nature and from Mother Nature, and this causes us much suffering on a global scale. There is a constant invitation from spirit to remember who we really are and stop identifying with the structures our minds have created for us. We all experience ups and downs in life – and we can cultivate deeper awareness of how we react to life and the variety of experiences it brings us. Often, an experience of seeing deeply held beliefs and choices from a different perspective really enables us to realise that we have a choice, and no longer need to react in unconscious ways to life. This is one of the gifts that the San Pedro medicine holds for us.We have the utmost respect for people from all walks of life and all belief systems. All healing work is an expression of Divine Grace, and we are constantly humbled to see people coming, open and willing to heal, with the understanding that this healing does not originate with us. The Concept of Ubuntu ”I am what I am because of who we all are.” ~ Leymah Gbowee Ubuntu is an African concept that refers to our humanness. Simply put, Ubuntu is a state of being which refers to our essence, to who we really are. It is about expressing and manifesting Divine Love within ourselves, among us as human beings and also as a collective. It is about community and the understanding that everyone and everything is equal and that no-one is more or less than anyone else. It is about co-existing with our brothers and sisters as humanity, nature and Spirit.Ubuntu teaches us that we are not separate – we all learn and grow together, regardless of our gender, race and religion. It teaches us about wholeness, our interconnectedness and it shows us to love ourselves and others. By doing so, it teaches us to return to our hearts.We believe that to live your Ubuntu, is to live from the heart and to express your being. It is through Ubuntu and connecting with our hearts, that we learn who we truly are. The concept of Ayni Ayni is a Quechua, or specifically, Q’ero word that refers to the concept of reciprocity. For us, the concept of Ayni encompasses both material reciprocity as well as a deeper, energetic reciprocity. This may be seen as an earnest willingness, trust and openness of heart in approaching any personal or healing work, as well as a giving of ourselves to the present moment, as we believe that the giving of our own energy and trust to the process of life will enable us to receive greater healing and understanding in our path.Coupled with Ubuntu, we have a concept of energetic and material reciprocity between people connected with their very essence which makes us human. This, for us, is a concept of incredible beauty, which is healing in itself.Mozelle Spencer November 03, 2018

Bernhard Karshagen
Born and raised in South Africa, Bernhard has a background in corporate consulting until 2007, whereafter he changed direction and embarked on a spiritual path of healing for himsellf. He has trained in different modalities, including various energy healing techniques, family constellations and coaching methodology. Plant spirit shamanism using San Pedro has been his focus full time since 2010.Bernhard currently provides San Pedro retreats and ceremonies, melding the use of the medicine with elements of African shamanism. He is intuitive and has the ability to help people to look at situations from a different perspective, helping them to see through the layers of their thought patterns and guiding them to connect with their own truth. Bernhard engages with people in a direct, yet gentle manner, guiding them to identify and let go of limiting beliefs, to step into their own being and empower them to return to their hearts. Bernhard has a good understanding of depression, having suffered from this illness for over 10 years. He shares the wisdom and teachings that he has learned from his own healing experiences and uses this as the foundation for his work.Alex Jay May 30, 2015

Eva Bruchhaus
Soul-based Coach, Cacao Alchemist, Intuitive, World´s traveller_______________________________________________________________________________________„Who am I?“ That´s a good Question! In fact, this question is the fuel on my inner Motor and is driving my inner Search for Truth.But of course, I wanna take the Chance to introduce myself to you:My Name is Eva, and I am in my beginning Fourties.The Love for People made me study Socialwork (and later on Soul-based Coaching), and the Passion for foreign Countries and Cultures lead me to study and work in Tourism.A radical shift in Awareness a few years ago made me „walk out of my life“, and so I left Munich in 2014.What started as a Sabbatical turned out to be a 4 Years-Journey, which I spent mostly in India, Southamerica and Portugal.A deep Process of Letting Go of Conditioning and nonfunctional Beliefs gradually expanded my Life and filled it with Joy, Freedom and Happiness.My time in India gifted me with Insights into Yoga, Meditation and Mindfulnesstechniques, whereas Southamerica taught me about Shamanism and Plantmedicine.Also I spent a fair amount of time with spiritual (Advaita) Teachers in Satsang.At my temporary Home Base Munich I am holding Cacao Ceremonies and Coaching Sessions.
