Sacred Journey ~ Peru
Dear Friends,
It is with great joy that we will be offering our Peruvian Medicine Retreat again coming up Feb 2020 with Papa Gilberto Mahua. He is one of Peru's most respected Shipibo Plant Medicine Maestros, with over 60 years of training and experience, he is an expert in the world of Amazonian Plant Medicine. His unique studies started at a very young age under the guidance of his forefathers.
He carries a powerful presence and energy, profound knowledge of the healing properties and potentials for expanded awareness that can unfold through the connection to the Plant Energies through an ancient tradition called Dieta. In the Amazon, these Plant energies are called Medicos -Doctors. Through the transmission of the Meastro and the Dieta, we connect to that realm and can gain deep insight and an incredibly transformational process can unfold.
Khyati -Chonon Hisbe will be assisting in the ceremony, facilitating Dieta, teaching classes in Iccaro and supporting you throughout.
A student and teacher of Shipibo Plant Medicine. Honoured to have been in-depth apprenticing under the guidance of Papa Hiberto & Papa Miky. Guiding, facilitating and hosting retreats internationally. Holding a Masters Degree in Meditation-Vedic Philosophy & Certificates in Ayurvedic Medicine.
Dieta is an offering of yourself for a minimum of 10 days to connect with healing Plant energies and to give time to build a relationship and deeper understanding of that realm for unfolding our own highest potentials and self-healing.
