It is one of our core philosophies that as facilitators we never take you to places that we have never been ourselves and that we never step out of our own depth. With over 50 years of combined experience with Yagé, our facilitators are prepared to assist you in your pathway of reconciliation and to healing. It is important to us that we honor and respect the teachings that the medicine provides which is why we have dedicated our entire lives in service to mankind and to the world over for the learning and remembering of these ancient ways and practices of connecting with the self in an authentic and sacred way.
One of the most important aspects of attending any ayahuasca retreat is ensuring that the group of facilitators and family lineage is experienced and grounded in reality and sacred tradition to a point of balance. We understand that western allopathy has a place in this world, which is why we have established practices and protocols that are grounded in harmony with relationship to the medicine and the practices of modern healthcare.
We recognize that at any given time it may be necessary to integrate these modern ways of healing into our protocols, which is why our staff is trained in basic EMS (emergency medical service) and healthcare practices such as CPR and Basic Life Support, should the need ever arise. Although nobody ever plans on having an allergic reaction, or falling ill due for any reason, we are eager and pleased to let you know that our staff is prepared to assist you, should the need arise.
“I am blessed by the Creator and it is easier for me to acquire spiritual knowledge because of my close relationship to my ancestors and to the Earth, and because of the spirits that guide the great Taitas in our family and assist them to acquire healing knowledge and power and to comprehend the infinity of knowledge that manifests itself over time. We are a unique lineage on the planet.”
