Men's anti-crisis Ayahuasca Retreat (no hidden fees)

We are honored to introduce Ñawi (Jaime Tisoy Tandioy) as the shaman guiding our upcoming retreat. Ñawi is the Governor of the Inga people and comes from the respected Tisoy Tandioy family in Santiago de Putumayo, Colombia. He is widely recognized among Taitas (shamans) for his deep knowledge and for leading Yagé (Ayahuasca) healing ceremonies. Beyond his ceremonial work, Ñawi is also a voice for the Inga Indigenous Community in political affairs, and a musician, part of the Runa Kam Inga band. It is a true honor to work alongside Ñawi and to share his wisdom, music, and the living traditions of the Inga people with our participants. The Inga are an Indigenous people of southern Colombia, historically known since the 15th century, when descendants of the Inca brought their language and traditions into the valleys of Putumayo. Today their population is estimated at around 20,000, with most communities living in the Sibundoy Valley and surrounding jungle. They speak Inga Kichwa, a branch of the Quechua language, and preserve a rich heritage of plant medicine. From childhood, future healers apprentice under elder taitas, sometimes starting as early as seven or eight years old. Learning to diet with plants, observe rituals, and carry icaros, their training can last decades before they are recognized as true shamans. For the Inga, aya_huasca (yagé) is not a drug but a sacred teacher — used to cleanse body, mind, and spirit, to heal grief and illness, and to receive guidance. Ceremonies are held in the maloka, with songs and ritual creating the setting for transformation. Even today, the Inga are regarded as guardians of ancestral medicine, carrying forward one of the Amazon’s most respected healing traditions.

My name is Kate, and my path has been shaped by deep personal experience with plant medicine and spiritual practice. I have joined multiple retreats, lived for a month in the Colombian jungle as a volunteer, and supported Shaman during Ayahuasca ceremonies. I am a certified facilitator of the Leela Game, a tool for self-discovery and spiritual growth. I also work with the Bio-Well energy scanner, offering before-and-after scans so participants can see their energetic shifts. As a sound therapist, I create healing spaces with bowls, gongs, and other instruments. My mission is to bring these practices together to support people on their transformational journey — not only spiritually, but also in facing real-life challenges with clarity and strength. My Approach A retreat is more than ceremonies — true change comes through intention and integration. I help participants set clear intentions before each ceremony and guide them in integrating insights during and after the retreat, so the experience leads to lasting transformation. What makes my approach unique is the balance of practical tools and genuine care. I aim to create the safest and most effective space where men feel supported, understood, and empowered. I also hold two views that define my work: Mixed-gender retreats are less effective, which is why I currently focus on men’s retreats (and may offer women’s in the future). “Bad trips” do exist. I know the reasons they happen, and I do everything possible to minimize this risk with preparation, clear guidance, and consistent support.
