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.
Janneke grew up within the humanistic values of the Netherlands. At a young age her emotional world was already rich and intense. Because of this, she started her own healing journey and became interested in spirituality at the age of 21 and she later pursued a vocation in supporting others through social work. This work brought her into contact with social challenges and she became a support for the homeless, addicts and sex workers; a privilege which she used to connect with and understand the deeper facets of human nature and the challenges that can be experienced. Being highly sensitive and intuitive, with emotionally demanding work, Janneke was directed deeper into her own healing journey again when she was 28 years old.
Through introspective processes Janneke found herself more the a decade ago in Peru, embraced in the loving arms of Mother Ayahuasca and was directed deeper into her process of healing and growing, the potential of master plants and the importance of connecting to nature, its spirits and traditional wisdoms.
It was this intuitive connection and the calling of Mother Ayahuasca that guided Janneke back to Peru and a closer encounter with the healing of Ayahuasca in an established retreat centre where she learnt again to manage human vulnerability and how to maintain stability alongside the sensitivity required for intuitive growth. Healing and spiritual strength became the cornerstones for her commitment in helping others and Willkamayu Spirit owes its core values to the courage and determination that continues to evolve daily in the project space that Janneke brings intuitively into existence.
Now that she is a mother, Janneke is with the project in a therapeutic sense, sharing Inner Child work, intuitive coaching, Reiki, preparation and integration. Janneke is forever grateful to the people and spirits who have supported and guided her along this beautiful path.
As a Chakaruna she is bridging the seen und unseen world together, she bridges the Eagle and Condor through her experience of growing up in the West and living for more than a decade in Peru.

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.
