One of the many wonderful surprises when arriving to our new home has been the abundance of butterflies present here ✨🦋

Something magical is in the air when walking through the jungle, or sitting by the river, while witnessing their graceful flight around you, observing their grace, their colours and patterns.

The butterfly’s journey of metaphorphosis, from caterpillar going into the dark constricted chrysalis, to finally being reborn in the splendour and flight of the butterfly, is one of nature’s most inspiring, and much parallel to our own journey as human souls; often going through the darkness and pressure of our own cocoons in order to re-awaken, break free from our old limitations, and finally spread our wings and be free - our own personal story of transformation and transcendence, emerging from our chrysalis into a rebirth of our own beauty and uninhibited flight. 

Their fragile nature and wonderful display remind us of the transience and preciousness of this life. The butterfly breaks free of the cocoon and spreads her delicate wings, not knowing if she can fly… perhaps not even knowing her own beauty… and yet she soars into flight in complete trust and confidence.

Her display, her delicacy, her beauty, remind us of the transient, fleeting nature of this existence, and that despite it (or perhaps because of it), we must jump into our own flight in trust and love. It is not uncommon for participants to have visions with butterflies in ceremonies and dieta, a symbol of beauty, hope and transformation. Their presence here feels like a blessing in the home of the plants💜

With joy, gratitude, and a deep sense of purpose, we share that Sinchi Runa has finally returned to the Peruvian jungle ✨🌿

It has long been our intention to establish a permanent sanctuary where our roots can grow deep, continuing our work for humanity and the protection of our Mother Earth. After many years of dedicated work in Europe, this marks a big step on our path. 

Since arriving, we have already been out viewing large pieces of untouched, virgin rainforest, untainted by human interference, brimming with nature’s intelligence and wisdom, where the spirits of the forest are alive and speaking in full force. We seek to find a place to establish our center, a place for nature to remain free and unharmed for generations, where her healing is received and her wisdom protected. Where master plants can grow sustainably in abundance. 

Deep in the jungle, surrounded by the full force of nature’s embrace, is the ideal place to receive the healing and teachings of the Master Plants. In stillness and the thunderous noise of the jungle, this sanctuary is to be a symbiosis of conservation, healing, and awakening. A place to coexist sustainably with the earth, a place to reconnect with the human heart - a place where all can come in search of healing and understanding. This land is dedicated to remembering our true nature, our Dharma, and our role as custodians of this dear planet.

This dream is our living prayer of hope, love, and service. It is our consecration to the earth, to Dharma, and to the home we all come from and return to. The Amazon, the lungs of the earth, is being destroyed at an alarming pace. This sanctuary is our vote to conserve and protect her, before it is too late.

Our hearts swell with gratitude that this vision is now becoming a reality, and we are humbled by the generosity and support we’ve received that makes this possible. The trust and opportunity fills us with fervor and urgency to work and create this sanctuary for the benefit of all. 

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you ❤️ We look forward to receiving all of you here to continue this sacred work of healing and remembering. 

In love and service, 
The Sinchi Runa Family

“Each plant, gemstone, perfume or essence that I use has come by speaking to me; as every mantra or icaro and each teacher with their own truth and darkness. I cannot define who I am with words, but I am inviting master plants, healing with my hands, giving perfumes and scents, love, comfort, trust and information from the universe through the wisdom that I can channel.

I can speak with some worlds and some other worldly beings. I can see the “disease” and remove it. I can see the chaos of suffering and fear expressed as the illusion we call hell and parasites or creatures that infest us. I feel the universe as light, vibration, and as an expression of the will of God; which is love, compassion and truth.”

An excerpt from Maestro Sanango’s bio - a glimpse into the calling and path that led him to Mother Ayahuasca and the sacred work of plant medicine and shamanism.

If you haven’t read his story, we warmly invite you to.
Here, he shares with depth and beauty, not only of his personal journey, but of the universal path we are all called to walk: the path of remembering what is real.

Rites of passage have existed to guide human beings through the sacred transitions of life in all ancient primordial cultures - from youth to adulthood, from one season of being to another.

They were real, spiritual necessities.
And they still are.

They teach us how to face uncertainty, how to grieve and heal, how to let go of what no longer serves, how to die to an old self, and reinvent ourselves into what is aligned with our heart’s strength and purpose.

With these sacred rites forgotten, we’ve grown a civilization rich in external “progress,” but poor in meaning and real connection to life and ourselves. 
Our culture teaches us a false sense of safety in achievement, image, status and control; illusions that will eventually and inevitably crumble under the weight of reality.

True safety lies in remember Who You Are - a quiet inner strength rooted in trust and humility before the great mystery of existence.

Initiation call us back into truth.

To feel what is real and allow ourselves to be reshaped into alignment with life and the call of the heart. To walk through the fire, burning away what is false, so what is true may arise. 

This Autumn, we embark on a 23-day Vision Quest to remember our Truth, Purpose and Self.
Join us from September 3 - 25, 2025 on this journey to return to what is most essential, and be spiritually reborn in your heart’s purpose.

🔥 Sacred Shamanic Rites of Initiation & Rebirth
👁 10-day Vision Quest in Shamanic Dieta Ajo Sacha
🌿9 Plant Medicine Ceremonies, 5 of which will be Ayahuasca Ceremonies
🌸 Fire & Earth Gratitude ceremonies

In Quechua, Yachay Ñawi means “the eye of true knowledge” - the awakening of inner sight.
To walk your true path, you must first see yourself… and then live the undoubtable truth of your own heart.

This is a rite of passage.
An initiation.
A sacred fire of death and rebirth.
A journey of purification, remembrance, and return to your dharma - your unique reason for being.

Over 23 days, we’ll journey together through a deep process of transformation:

This is a journey to burn away the masks, fears, and attachments that keep us from our true selves.

To remember what lives beneath it all - your dharma, your truth, your inner power.
🌀 Shed what no longer aligns
🌀 Remember what you are
🌀 Be reborn in your truth
🌀 This is the way of the spiritual warrior - a path walked in humility, clarity, and purpose.

The master plants have the potential to shift life and existence completely, but it comes with a price: our willingness to leap into the unknown, to let go of all the ideas and beliefs we have about ourselves, so that we can discover what we truly are beyond them.

We have to be willing to release the old, in order to be born into the new. 

The plants have the potential to open the understanding of our true being, of our suffering, and what it means to be truly human… 

but this cannot happen if we insist on clinging to our old ways, forever licking our wounds and replaying ‘what was done to me’, sustaining the habits, beliefs and ideas that tell ‘our’ story and ‘why we suffer’;
never letting go of the limitations of all the things we ‘can and cannot do’. 

The plants show, not in words or in the mind, but through a direct lived experience of the heart that opens in understanding and connection to divinity.

For this to happen, we have to be willing to sacrifice that which makes us embody our disconnection, and let go of all our ideas and beliefs of the way things ‘are’. To open in trust of the unknown, and permit to elevate ourselves to these higher frequencies.

To be willing purge and vomit what leads us to separativity - our prides, resentments, victimhood and judgments - and seek, in a continuous practice of awareness, to tend our inner garden, to remove the weeds and stop sowing bitter seeds, and instead to sow flowers of love and goodwill and nurture them until they bloom. 

The price of healing is that we must shed our olds ways, and embrace a new way of being - a constant practice and commitment to open ourselves and seek to live compassionately, with gratitude, understanding and humility.

Pictured is the beautiful flower of San Pedro 🌸🌵🤍 a sacred teacher often connected to symbolic and spiritual deaths and rebirths, the shedding of the old to become the new.

It can take cactus at least 6 years, but sometimes more than a decade, before it reaches the maturity to flower ✨

What happens in an ayahuasca ceremony is almost impossible to describe in words. Sometimes, surrendering the need for mental understanding and trusting the deeper knowing of the heart is the wisest thing we can do. Then, embodying and carrying this wisdom into how we move through the world, how we act, and how we treat ourselves and others.

As an invitation into this deeper integration, we ask participants to paint their experience after ceremony, without pressure, simply allowing the ineffable to take form - reliving the impressions and sensations without the interference of the mind, experiencing them in a way that allows them to settle and take root within us.

Art can be a portal, a conversation with the unseen. A bridge between the tangible and the subtle. Perhaps one of the most real things in this physical plane, because it stirs something beyond it, pointing the heart toward truth, toward Spirit, toward what cannot be contained by the rational mind.

To realize who we are isn’t an intellectual exercise; it’s about noticing, in real-time, the patterns of our being: our desires, our defenses, our motivations, and our aversions. It’s about observing without judgment, as we navigate through life. Every thought, every action (or non-action), becomes an opportunity to make decisions from a place of conscious awareness - rather than being driven by unconscious impulses.

A process with Ayahuasca & Master Plants serves as a powerful magnifying glass, offering us a way to look deeper into the makeup of our internal landscape and the real causes of our pains. They amplify our perception, and act as teachers and guides to help us understand our inner world. When we direct our attention inward, they illuminate the parts of us we often overlook and hide from, revealing the truth beneath the surface. The real question is: are we willing to truly see?

The plants may show us the way, but they do not walk the path for us. The transformation and healing we seek requires our participation, and our willingness to take responsibility for the world within us that we are sustaining and co-creating. To heal is not just an intellectual recognition of our patterns, but a decision to not be blindly governed by these same patterns and embody the change in our actions and decision.

To realize who we are is to choose this way of being. This journey is not so much about finding a “final answer,” but about learning how to move with clarity, compassion, and awareness, moment by moment.
