About this Retreat
Jhon comes from a lineage of Andean heritage, the community of San Pedro de Kacha. The mountainous regions around Cusco and the Sacred Valley are his homeland and his connection to its geography and community is strong within his heart. This interwoven community raised the ancestral traditions that have resonated with Jhon since his childhood, and became more profound when he identified parallels within the Taoist traditions which evolved his understanding of the natural systems that connect us above, below and throughout the universe. With these principles, Jhon experienced a rebirth of interconnected realisation and continues to encourage the roots of ancestral wisdom to ground him in the beautiful web of life.
A calling to Ayahuasca and the first connection into process confirmed his inner narrative. And through deep conversation with Mother Ayahuasca he has outwardly portrayed the need to share his confirmed wisdoms, and help others to share the beautiful connections that bind us to spirit. Jhon began learning about ceremony preparation and integration during service at an Integrative Medical Healing Clinic and he fostered the intention to support others through these profound experiences. Combining the traditional values of his childhood, respect of the Andean and Amazon traditions and his continued commitment to learn and evolve, Jhon receives and guides his guests into their transformative process with the master plants and is honored to support his brothers and sisters into the beautiful realms that await those who receive the calling.
Jhon is together with Janneke the founder of Willkamayuspirit.
Maestro Juan Carlos Quispe Flores, whose spiritual name is INONBARI (Solar Jaguar), was born in 1984 in the
Shipibo nation of Peru. Maestro Juan Carlos was just 8 years old when he first drank Ayahuasca. From that day, he started to walk the spiritual path, guided by his grandfather, Rankon Metsa, who inherited sacred knowledge of medicinal plants and was a great elder and maestro for the Shipibo nation. At the tender age of 15, he had already been recognised as a maestro to guide Ayahuasca ceremonies. Now with a profound love and humbleness, he shares the knowledge about the ancestral medicine Ayahuasca.
Maestro Kamaski, a Pachamama Servant, is an ICHHURI (Andean therapist) who comes from a traditional family of healers in Huasao, Cusco. Kamaski means a being created to serve. Learning to heal himself, Maestro Kamaski learned to heal others, thanks to plant medicine.
The town of Huasao is a place of qheswas healers. He is a yachaq (sage) of the Inkan culture and he heals and cures within the Inkan healing tradition, where he works with the following three levels of being: ukhupacha, kaypacha and hanaqpacha. Ukhupacha works on our internal state: emotions and sentiments of the subconscious. Kaypacha works with our bodies: foods and the four elements (earth, air, fire and water). Hanaqpacha works with our spiritual self: the connection with the Apus (sacred mountains), Pachamama (Mother Earth), the connection with the Cosmic Mother and with the ancestral spirits (Illa teqse wiraqocha).
In the heart of the Peruvian Andes, Wayra Eloy Quispe Ccorahua stands as a beacon, illuminating ancient tales, paths and teachings. An Andean Inca master, he is a keeper of old wisdom, passed down from Inca healers. He is supported by Earth’s love, Pachamama and the spirit of the mountains, the Apus, as well as of the sacred medicines. Maestro Wayra speaks English, with a humble heart he shares ceremonies with Ayahuasca and Wachuma.
He also talks English so during your retreat you can go into deep conversations with him, he loves to share about the Andean Cosmo vision.

A Journey of Preparation, Ceremony, and Integration
Preparation and integration are essential parts of the healing journey. To ensure you feel safe and supported, we offer an online intake call before your arrival. This allows us to connect, answer any questions you may have, and help you prepare emotionally, mentally, and spiritually for your retreat.
Upon arrival, you will have a private preparation conversation with our Maestro and spiritual guide. This is a moment to set your intentions, feel into the energy of the space, and prepare yourself for the ceremony in the evening.
The Ayahuasca ceremony begins around 7 PM, unfolding in the sacred embrace of the night. The ceremony is humbly and capably assisted by the calming presence of a Maestro and a spiritual guide. They are here to support your internal experience, encouraging you inward, helping you to release and cleanse if you need to, and to make you feel as comfortable as possible throughout the experience.
The ceremony may continue into the early hours, and Ayahuasca will continue working in your dreams.
You will have a comfortable private or shared room to have time and space for yourself, to integrate and relax during your 2 day retreat.
Time for Reflection and Gratitude
The following morning, we share a nourishing breakfast and gather for an integration circle with the Maestro, allowing space for reflection and guidance. To honor the medicine and your journey, we conclude the retreat with a gratitude action to Ayahuasca, the Mountain spirits, and Pachamama.
During your time with us, we invite you to embrace noble silence, allowing for deep inner reflection. There will be plenty of time for rest, personal contemplation, and nature walks in the beautiful surroundings of the retreat house.
You will be held in a loving and nurturing environment, with space for one-on-one conversations and guidance. Whether this is your first experience with Ayahuasca or a step along your path, we are here to support you the best we can every step of the way.
