About the medicines:
Ayahuasca Ceremonies:
Ayahuasca is a most powerful medicine, originating from the Amazonian jungle. She has many names; Queen of the forest, Abuelita, Grandmother, La Purga and more.
To those who respect & surrender, she is able to perform swift and drastic changes in one's consciousness, mind, body and more.
Surrendering to her power & grace, we are taken beyond our limited human perspective, revealing the divine nature of ourselves and all that is, showing the oneness within and without, in a way that we deeply & instinctively understand, bypassing the linear mind, awakening us to what we have forgotten.
She is a miracle worker, and when approached with intention and sacredness, she is loving and an all powerful feminine spirit, nourishing, cleaning our consciousness, guiding and protecting us in her sacred ceremonies. In day to day life our work is to apply what we learn from these sacred spaces of transformation and visionary seeing.
Huachuma (San Pedro) Journeys:
Huachuma is the native name of the San-Pedro cactus. This master plant has been consumed more than 5,000 years ago as a central part of the religious worship in the Chavin culture of the Andes. Huachuma is heart oriented medicine, as he takes us directly into our heart's truth, while awakening our consciousness to a clean and unified perspective.
The first Europeans that met this medicine gave the christian name 'San Pedro' – meaning the one that holds the keys to heaven.
By helping us to discover our deepest truths, Huachuma helps us to transcend the obstacles of the ego-mind, realizing the keys to our divine human vehicle, bringing us step by step to mastery. Huachuma is a master plant teacher, the grandfather energy of the divine masculine.
To those who consent to his medicine, he brings blessings of self-knowing, connection & wholeness, leading us all the way to the realization of our hearts truth.
Golden Teachers (Magic Mushrooms):
This sacred medicine has been used for thousands of years in many cultures around the world.
The medicine is consumed directly or prepared as tea. There are many species of mushrooms and for the purposes of this work only Psilocybin are utilized.
Mushrooms are extremely potent medicine. They take us to the depths of the emotional world, swimming in the inner ocean of feeling and expression while experiencing a childlike wonder. They offer a perspective that allows us to laugh at ourselves and our pain and to see things in a larger context. This enables bridging places of duality so that we can find unity within, between the different parts of us and can make sense of our life's journey.
Also known as “Los Ninos” (the children), because they can rebirth the divine child. The rebirth of this joyous space within contributes to the release of the traumatic and painful child that we were. (even if our deepest traumas were experienced in adulthood) Mushrooms have the ability to radically spark our creativity, expression and communication patterns, realizing a kind of quickening effect on the entire system, physical, emotional & mental.
Kambo Detox Ceremony:
Kambo is cleansing and purifying frog medicine from the Amazon jungle.
It is known to help and heal many disorders and imbalances in the system, whether they manifest physically, emotionally, or mentally.
Kambo cleans negative, stagnant & and heavy energies, from our physical & non physical bodies, synchronizing us back into our hearts, nature and the flow of life.
Kambo is a strong & deep purgatory, detoxifying organs, tissues and healing the DNA structure.
The treatment lasts 1-2 hours and the effect is a deep reset to the entire system and a return to the heart-space.
All medicine offered is respectfully & sustainably sourced directly from Amazonian communities.
What can kambo help with?
Depression, auto-immune diseases, cancer, skin diseases, stress relief, stagnation, addictions, arthritis, weakness, lack of clarity, sexual dysfunction, insomnia, infertility, chronic pain (physical/mental) and more.
We look forward to supporting you in your healing & expansion.

Carol:
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.
