Afterward I purchased 19 hectares on Yarina cocha lake and began our retreat center. Adam also traveled and trained at other centers such as Takiwasi, and Kapitari. We built our first small maloka at Tierravida before my daughter was born in 2007. She was born with a midwife on the land at Tierravida, her mother Shipiba from Paoyong. We built our larger Maloka in 2007. I have trained with Shipibo Onaya Shamans. My first Elder teacher was Antonio from alto Rio Pisque, a remote shipibo village. I also apprenticed with Benjamin Mahua an elder respected for his contributions to Ayahuasca shamanism, who is now over 100 years old. I have worked with many well respected Shipibo Shaman Onaya. I have worked with the medicine for over 20 years. Training with Elder meastros.

I have been given permission by my elders to practice on my own, but i choose to work with Shipibo Onaya elders in all my retreats. As a guide I find the best Onaya for the clients or groups needs.
