Medicina
Ceremonies are healing and sacred spaces that have long been a part of ancestral traditions and help us to remember why we are here and what our life's mission is, they are opportunities for self reflection and give insight and perspective.
The world of ancestral medicines is very much alive in Colombia due to the large variety of medicinal plants that grow naturally here, it is rare for a member of an indigenous community to require a pharmaceutical product because of their close connection to nature and the abundance of medicinal plants here.
Each indigenous community that has a sacred plant has a story of how this plant was given to humans by the divine.
We only work with experts in their field, and work very closely with an experienced female Chamana/Curandera who has been working with ancestral medicines for over 18 years after extensively training and living with the Kofan, one of the indigenous Ayahuasca communities of the Colombian Amazon.
Being raised in indigenous communities as a child and training extensively with indigenous communities as an adult , our curandera has lived and worked with many natural medicines in many indigenous communities in Colombia, Brazil and Peru. She has been given permission by these communities to work with these medicines and sacred plants.
She specializes in working with the following medicines.

Ayahuasca ceremonies
Ayahuasca also known as Yagé in Colombia is an ancestral medicine made from medicinal plants that grow exclusively in the Amazon.
It is fondly known by many indigenous communities as the Mother or the Grandmother and is one of the many sacred ‘planta maestras’ or ´teacher plants’ that grow in the Amazon.
It is internationally respected and recognised both in the scientific and spiritual communities for its ability to physically and spiritually heal the body.
It involves a physical purge or cleanse in which the plant removes toxins and traumas from the body, during this process the participant may vomit or go to the toilet.
Spiritually the plant can invoke Pinta. Pinta are the visions, noises, messages or emotions that the person can experience when working with Ayahuasca or Yagé.
Ayahuasca ceremonies are very calm and tranquil environments guided by our expert Curandera. They provide the opportunity to release emotions , receive answers to questions and work with intentions. In indigenous communities such as the Kofan, Ayahuasca is taken every 8 days and is given to children and pregnant ladies , given correctly with a proper consultation beforehand it is 100% safe.
We organize intimate ceremonies with no more than 10 participants present. It is a very special experience to receive Ayahuasca (a feminine medicine) from a woman.

5 STARS!
Alice and Eliana are amazing.
I attended a yoga retreat in Palomino where Alice facilitated yoga, meditation, music, and ceremonies. She is a patient and empowering facilitator.
Alice also organized an ayahuasca ceremony for a group of interested yogis. Some of us were hesitant so Alice arranged a pre meeting with Eliana.
Eliana’s presence and energy quickly eased nerves.
I felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. The space for my personal experience and choices were respected.
I can’t say enough about the combination of Alice’s patience and love with Eliana’s true magical skills and insights.
I reflect on this experience often and I will come back again.
I was lucky enough to experience the magical Yagé ceremony with the lovelies, Eliana and Alice. Right from the start, I felt so comfortable in their presence. Alice was receptive to all my needs and helped a lot before and after the ceremony. The location could not have been more Divine. Eliana is a source of wisdom, and everything she shared was a true gift. I learned a lot. I also loved how intimate it was – just me and 1 friend. I also appreciated the care they gave me after the ceremony – even now til this day, I can consult with them. I can’t wait to come back! Until then, I bless you both to continue offering your gifts and the healing reaches all the right people and places 🙂
I loved my ayahuasca ceremony with Eliana and Alice.
The ceremony was very individualised to my needs. I feel a lot lighter and have done alot of personal work!
