Workshops

Our workshops are designed to start you off on your healing journey. Experience the transformative powers of the teacher plant in the midst of vibrant jungle surroundings. To pave a suitable path for your journey, the six ceremonies are accompanied by a proper diet and physical activity intended to help you keep your inner medicine flowing, internalize what you have learned, and be in harmony with nature and yourself. Consultation with the shamans and other participants is essential for the application and effectiveness of the teacher plant medication.
