When our consciousness changes, our health and life change naturally.
The call to this medicine can stem from an actual physical dis-ease that you want to heal, or to get your divine directions in life, or to heal something in the emotional or mental bodies.
Tobacco (Nicotina Rustica) is the classic plant that works on the gut & brain connection; when our abdomen is congested, so are our minds and heart.
Tobacco, and its true healing power is greatly misunderstood and abused in the modern world, having been turned into a casual day to day stimulant with chemicals added resulting in much disease and death.
Mapacho is a powerful and medicinal plant to be used with great care, caution & permission, as many medicinal plants used improperly turn into poison.
Mapacho is a master plant of the tobacco family native to the Amazonian jungle.
He teaches about divine connection, purification, peace, and embodying the truths in our heart..
In truth we find divine protection and a most powerful ally in our earthwalk..
This is medicine for deep cleaning of dark energies, lack of faith, lack of boundaries, lack of grounding, empowerment issues & addictions, (especially for those with a conflicted relationship with tobacco).
Mapacho can also resolve issues with the Spirit and the masculine.
It is the most potent of all tobacco species on the planet, and is the primary plant of traditional shamanism in South America.
Mapacho is an exceptional cleanser & purgatory, reaching deeply inside of our being to excavate what needs to be cleared, for our health, equilibrium and to stand in the light and power of our own spirit.
Traditionally it is known that in order to receive the full healing and connection with this plant, it needs to be drunk.
The leaves are prepared into a tea with strong & specific prayers for the persons healing.
Mapacho is grandfatherly and an uncompromising peace-maker spirit, he assists us to purge what is dense and non-truthful in our field.
This masculine spirit assists in healing father archetype issues, authority issues, relationship issues, and clarity about our divine task.
Mapacho-Tobacco is one of the rare plants that grounds to the Earth & connects to our higher self simultaneously, bringing clarity between our hearts, words and actions. He is the grand guardian of the forest.
If you feel that a dark cloud is over you or there is an energy or influence that you want to release from your life, Mapacho maybe calling you to purge and rebirth. It is suitable for beginners and advanced with plant and animal medicine.

I have worked with Adya and Peram for some time . I find them to be highly professional , kind , knowledgeable and gifted . I highly recommend them as teachers and healers . I look forward to the next time we meet again .
Shim'on:
The care, generosity, containment, love, acceptance, wisdom and attention I received by Param and Adya were by far the greatest and most powerful I have ever been given in my life. In a matter of 3 days Param and Adya gave the best of themselves (which seems never-ending) to me in dedication to my healing process. I have had multiple experiences with retreats and plant medicines and none of them compare. It was like I was the most important being in the universe for them and they were completely present in every moment that they guided me deeper into my process and myself. Their total love and acceptance of me coupled with an uncompromising (yet gentle!) will to get to the deepest and most true intentions and layers of myself provided me with a valuable window into myself, my struggles, and discovering my inner power to continue walking on my journey.
I cannot recommend their services enough. They are more than friends or family. They are two of the most exceptional souls I have ever met and it is an honor and pleasure to be in their presence and receive their gifts and deep wisdom.
So much thanks.
Ingo:
It seems almost impossible to express in words what is happening beyond what can be said. The encounter with Adya and Param came about by coincidence. Or something we call coincidence on an external level. In fact, already the first encounter felt like a reunion. Familiarity from the very first second. At no time in our conversations that followed did I feel persuaded or coerced into anything, but I always felt invited, accepted and noticed.
The ceremonies I have witnessed so far have been performed with great devotion. I felt safe and comfortable at all times. I was particularly impressed by the precious conversations that followed.
With absolute attention, as I have never experienced in this intensity with anyone else, they dedicate themselves to their interlocutor, listen, ask questions that encourage you to explore within yourself, give answers that lead further and never seem instructive or dogmatizing and at the same time are clear as a mirror.
My experience with Adya and Param is one of the best I've had in my entire life. It is good to know that there are people who serve humanity with such dedication and help seekers find answers and healing.
Finding your shaman is like finding a very, very good friend
Johannes:
I participated on two healing retreats with Adya and Param.
The Space they are offering felt all the time very safe and supportive for my healing journey,
Especially the personal Talks with Adya and Param before and after the Ceremony helped me with my intentions and integrations. But also during the Ceremonies I enjoyed the Songs very much!
Thank you for everything!
Kalixandra:
Three weeks ago, I returned from my first retreat with Param and Adya, and I can happily say that I feel much better than before the trip. I have been in therapeutic treatment for over a year due to anxiety disorder. Working as a self-employed artist is challenging, and I had a traumatizing childhood because my parents couldn't show me love, and I was subjected to stress and violence from birth. This led to a feeling of being at the mercy of life, causing my nervous system to be in survival mode from birth, which haunted me throughout my life until the retreat.
Today, I sleep much more peacefully and have more trust in myself and the world, and I feel deep gratitude for life. It is much easier for me to be present and actively participate in life.
Living with this family for a week was a very healing experience. For the first time, I slept in a tipi in nature, and it was an absolute safe space and a grounding experience. The connection with nature and the distance from the hectic everyday life and social media were already very soothing on their own. I participated in four ceremonies and, to be honest, was scared beforehand because it is hard for me to relinquish control. Param and Adya were always there for me with all their love, calm, patience, and understanding, allowing me to relax and surrender to the process. In the ceremonies, I encountered life itself and myself on such a deep level that I realized I was killing myself day by day with certain dysfunctional, driven thoughts and behaviors, and internally, I was closer to death than to life. At 28, I experienced for the first time what life feels like, and the stress that had accompanied me for so long fell away from me in an instant.
During the Bufo ceremony, I connected with my body and breath on such a deep level that I now strengthen this feeling of aliveness day by day and remember that moment with a smile and a sense of trust and hope.
I am already planning further ceremonies with Param and Adya and can joyfully say that I have found companions, love, trust, connection, and deep healing in you, which I wish for every person in this world. The encounter with the plant medicine was one of the most important and healing experiences of my life, and no words are enough to describe this feeling of relief and gratitude. Even weeks later, both continue to help with integration, and we are in regular contact.
This is just the beginning.
