Donja Anhela - our majestic Mayestra
We had the great honour of working with Mayestra which couldn’t be more perfect for our group. She carried us through the tough parts and loved all the way till the end. She was a stable North Star to follow - thank you

Great Shipibo Healer
Don Ronor loves what he does and is truly looking out for your best interest. When I arrived to the center, I was a bit uneasy and uncertain in what to expect. Yet after sitting down with Don Ronor, I knew I was in good hands.

Thank you for everything maestro! I hope that this review allows more people to see how great your ceremonies truly are.

A gentle spirit
Don Ronor is a humble, down-to-earth, gentle spirit that has devoted his life to helping other people. After the first ceremony, he had a personal consultation with each of the participants to learn about their ailments so he could come up with a specific herbal treatment plan we each needed to follow throughout the 10-day retreat. My physical symptoms seem to go away after drinking the herbal remedies after the third day, and never came back. During the ceremonies, he would sing his indigenous icaros, which were spiritual songs to help open us up to the ayahuasca spirit but also to ground us through the psychedelic experience. Many times it felt as though he was singing directly into me, even though I did know what he was singing. A beautiful voice that sounded authentic and connected. Between ceremonies, he was always available if you wanted to talk to him about your process, physically or spiritually.

Absolutely Incredible Maestro
Maestro Rono was awesome. He took time to work with each of us individually to address various physical and mental needs, and was truly a phenomenal healer during the ceremonies.
