Sanango conducts spiritual diets and other forms of spiritual healing. He works with entheogens, master plants and eastern consciousness techniques aiming to bring the individual to a direct encounter with her inner universe, the love of God and the reconnection with earth.
Mikaela is a Kambo Therapist, Ayahuasca Facilitator and Hridaya Yoga- and Meditation Teacher. For the past eight years she has been living in the Guatemalan and Peruvian Rainforest, where she has been assisting and developing Sinchi Runa together with Maestro Sanango. Her presence is safe, loving and compassionate and she serves Ayahuasca with deep integrity and wisdom. The devotion and love of her work embraces each human being, plant and animal on this Earth. When experiencing the medicine for the first time her thoughts were “If all people would drink Ayahuasca, all the problems of the world would be solved”.
In this spirit, she dedicates herself to creating a space in which Ayahuasca can be safely experienced in its full potential. During the past eight years she has dieted with a variety of shamanic master plants and gone through hundreds of Ayahuasca Ceremonies, Purges and Shamanic Processes. She spent most of the time during the first three years of her learning alone in the jungle without communication with the “outer world”. During this time she went through many shamanic diets, communicating with Ayahuasca, the plant spirits, the natural world and the Cosmos. A process that proved invaluable to her understanding of the medicine and allowing her to serve others in similar processes. Moreover, she is studying academic psychology as well as alternative therapies, seeking to implement a deep therapeutic safety and care, bridging profound shamanic insight and healing with a safe therapeutic framework and yogic practices. She is also a mother and spends most of her time rediscovering the world with her two-year old son Maitreya.
“I have felt the pain and cry of the Earth and I have cried with her. I have seen the deep inherent goodness and greatness of humanity and been filled with hope. I have experienced our eternal nature as pure divine love and our human nature as gardeners and caretakers of the field of our minds, hearts and of this beautiful Earth. I have danced with fairies in moonlit forests and I have ventured into the dark parts of my being, forgiving and accepting myself as I am. I have fallen in love with existence in all its nuances. Ayahuasca opened my eyes, my soul, my being and has given me the honor to hold space for others to journey with her, in their own unique way. I am convinced of the incredible healing power of this medicine and believe there is no greater gift humanity could receive in this time. I cannot express in words how meaningful this is to me, but through facilitating these processes I am filled with gratitude. Through Ayahuasca, I see so many people rediscover their own undoubtable truth and beauty, beyond all words or dogma. I see people communicate with the Universe while their suffering transforms into great wisdom. I am so honored to be here.” Mikaela
Ananda helps to facilitate retreats at Sinchi Runa, and is on a path of learning with Maestro Sanango and the Master Plants. He has spent many months in silence and solitude, dieting a variety of master plants and communing with Ayahuasca and the plant world, before beginning to assist on retreats at Sinchi Runa. With a caring and calm presence, Ananda helps to hold space for the process of all who come for healing, and assists Maestro Sanango in retreats.
Prior to Sinchi Runa, Ananda spent many years practicing meditation, attending and serving on silent retreats, and eventually maturing his practice to begin sharing what he had learned on his journey. He continues to make use of this to help guide participants in their processes and encounters with the Master Plants.
“Ayahuasca continues helping me to discover what I am and let go what I thought I was. She helps me to remember my nature of Love, an eternal existence beyond all ideas or thoughts of my mind. She has shown me the compassion and love that exists in the heart of humanity, and a hope for what humanity could become in remembering and embracing it’s heart. She helps me to see my own suffering, to heal and to let go, and teaches me to recognise that same suffering, and the same heart, in everyone and everything around me. I am so honoured and so very humbled to be able to play my small role in serving this sacred medicine, and to share that which has made such a difference to my own healing and life”
Kameron has been learning from Maestro Sanango and facilitating retreats at Sinchi Runa Ayahuasca Healing Center for the last three years. He has gone through various shamanic diets and spent much time in solitude and communion with Ayahuasca and other master plants in the Peruvian Rainforest. Before this he practiced meditation and self-enquiry for many years, while he explored ways to awaken creativity and live in harmony with the ever-changing nature of life.
With deep understanding, warmth and kindness he serves each one coming his way. He assists Maestro Sanango in Ayahuasca Ceremonies and Purges and facilitates these processes, caring for the physical and psychological safety, wellbeing and unfolding of each one present.
“It is an honor to serve and care for a space where this inward journey takes place. It is immensely deeper than I could have ever imagined and I continue to find myself here, diving deeper into my understanding of life, love and service.” Kameron
Details of this retreat
✨ RECONNECTING WITH YOUR TRUE ESSENCE ✨
At Sinchi Runa, we are dedicated to provide a safe and sacred space in which you can experience genuine healing and spiritual awakening.
Our Ayahuasca and Master Plant retreats are a unique opportunity to reconnect with your true essence and purpose in life, and to heal from emotional wounding, trauma, depression and internal blockages.
Sinchi Runa is founded and directed by Maestro Curandero Sanango, whose work is based on over thirty years of experience and a deep understanding of traditional Amazonian medicine, as well as contributions from eastern yogic disciplines such as meditation and work with mantras (sacred sound vibration).
✨ THE TRADITIONAL AMAZONIAN PROCESS ✨
Silence, solitude, reclusion in nature and the ceremonial intake of Ayahuasca and other Amazonian Master Plants are central aspects of this retreat, together with purification processes and rituals known traditionally as “purgas”.
This provides a sacred shamanic context of silence and self-reflection, in which we are healed through the understanding that arises from our direct experience and inner connection, and the natural wisdom that follows from addressing and releasing the root causes of our suffering, bringing about deep personal transformation and healing.
Through a safely guided process of introspection and awareness, the sacred plants help us flourish in our natural joy of being, to discover what lies beyond our pains and live a life aligned with our heart, personal power, truth and purpose.
✨ SANANGO - PERUVIAN MAESTRO CURANDERO ✨
Our retreats are led by Maestro Sanango, a Peruvian spiritual master and “vegetalista” with over thirty years of experience in the Amazonian shamanic tradition. Through thousands of ceremonies and many years of seclusion in the Amazon jungle, he has formed a deep relationship with the spirit of Mother Ayahuasca and a variety of Plant Teachers or “Plantas Maestras”.
Through his work with the plants, he serves those who come to him to heal from states of depression, addiction, anxiety and pain, to find joy and purpose in an understanding of their true selves and the unconditional love of the divine.
✨ A SAFELY GUIDED PROCESS ✨
Real and lasting healing manifests itself when the heart begins to integrate the lessons learned and settle in the understanding we’ve been given. This is a profound and vulnerable process, of opening to our internal light and shadows, healing our pain, learning to trust and re-define ourselves and who we are in the world, while cleansing the heart of the “hardness” we once built as an attempt to protect ourselves.
Maestro Sanango and our team of experienced facilitators, being deeply acquainted and dedicated themselves to a continous process of healing and awakening, are present to guide you through every step, from preparation to integration, to ensure the lessons from the plants can take real root in your life.
Sharing circles, Q&As, and private consultations with Maestro Sanango are a central part of the retreat to enable and facilitate the healing work. Our facilitators & therapists are always available to assist in the unfolding of this delicate process with sensitivity, warmth, understanding, knowledge and care.
This retreat is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the stillness of nature, the ancient wisdom of Amazonian Shamanism and the loving guidance of the plant world; a place to rediscover your true self and inner strength, and be reborn aligned in love and purpose.
We will be honoured to share this magical process of healing and remembering with you and hope to serve you on your journey.
