EXPLORE THE HEALING POWER OF AYAHUASCA
Nihue Rao Centro Espiritual - Iquitos, Peru
Every experience, particularly in childhood, leaves an imprint beyond memory—settling into the body, shaping perception, influencing emotion. Unprocessed pain, inherited patterns, and habitual coping mechanisms can quietly accumulate, showing up as physical tension, emotional fog, or a sense of being stuck far from the life you feel called toward.
Within certain ancestral traditions, plant medicines have long been approached as mirrors and teachers—ways of meeting these inner imprints with clarity and reverence. Ayahuasca and master plant practices are understood not as quick fixes, but as catalysts that can illuminate what has been carried for too long, offering the possibility of release, insight, and reorientation.
The intention behind this work is simple: to support moments of profound remembering—where burdens soften, perspective widens, and life can be met anew, with greater lightness and presence.
PALENQUE, MEXICO
Near a small village just outside the historic city of Palenque, our ceremonies will take place in the foothills of the surrounding mountains, overlooking the jungle that holds ancient Mayan ruins. This setting supports a distinctive approach to healing—one rooted in an authentic relationship with the local village, a tranquil connection to water and land, and a felt sense of Source. Time together will also include community excursions to nearby waterfalls and natural pools. This retreat coincides with the March equinox and local festivities, further deepening the ceremonial container.

Testimonial:
“I’ve just returned from a retreat with Mark and Tara, and it’s difficult to put into words how profound the experience was. From the very first ceremony, it was clear that their work is guided by deep integrity, humility, and a genuine devotion to the medicine. The space they hold is unmistakably heart-opening—safe, grounded, and infused with care.
The ceremonies themselves were extraordinary. The Shipibo icaros and medicine songs were unlike anything I’ve encountered before—precise, powerful (to say the least). Each song felt purposeful, as though it was meeting something specific within me, opening pathways inward that I hadn’t been able to access before. Through their guidance, I was able to go deeply into myself and touch a level of healing that felt real, embodied, and lasting.
What stood out most was the authenticity of the work. This did not feel commercial or diluted—it felt rooted, traditional, and true. I left with a sense of clarity, renewal, and trust in the path I’m walking. I know I’ll be returning to continue the journey.” - June
