5-day Ayahuasca and San Pedro Retreat in Antigua Guatemala

Shipibo Maestros Curanderos Drawing from the rich tapestry of Amazonian healing traditions, Maestro Carlos and Maestra Camila arrive as living embodiments of ancestral wisdom. With a combined legacy of 70 years of ceremonial practice, this remarkable husband-and-wife team from their beloved village have not only served as healers but have become revered teachers who have trained other maestros. Their profound connection is evident in the harmony of their icaros, which weave together spiritual healing and ancestral songs. Beyond their mastery of Ayahuasca, they are deeply versed in the sacred dieta practices of master plants, continually expanding their spiritual knowledge and guiding their students through transformative plant medicine journeys that cleanse, empower, and align body, mind, and spirit.

My journey with Ayahuasca began as a deeply personal path of healing. I never imagined I would work so closely with this sacred medicine. I didn’t plan to follow traditional dietas for spiritual growth, or open a healing center. But once my heart was restored and my soul began to reflect the universal light, Mother Ayahuasca asked me: “Would you like to share My wisdom with others?” And I said yes. We opened this healing space in the heart of Guatemala—for those who may not be able to journey all the way to Peru, but still feel the deep calling of Ayahuasca. This center was created as a sanctuary for healing, transformation, and soul remembrance. I am deeply passionate about helping others become free—free from pain, from fear, or simply from the layers that keep them from knowing who they truly are. We each carry a story we’re here to understand, to heal, or even to rewrite. Before this path, I was an artist. I spoke through colors, symbols, and textures. Art was my language. Now, healing has become another form of communication—one that flows through presence, through ceremony, through silence and spirit. Over time, I discovered that my hands carried a healing power. That gift, guided by Spirit, became one of my greatest tools. And in creating this center, life brought me into connection with some of the most fascinating and gifted healers from around the world—each one offering a sacred piece of wisdom, a doorway into deeper truth. I will be right there with you—present, grounded, full of love. You will walk your own path, as we all must. But I will make sure you are safe. Even in your most vulnerable moments, even through the purging and shedding—you will be held. You are not alone.

I have dedicated over five years to practicing and exploring meditation, especially Mindfulness. My spiritual journey was shaped by a rigorous two-and-a-half-year mentorship. During this, I was guided through diverse meditative practices from various traditions, such as Christian prayer, earth-rooted rituals, mystic Kabbalah, focused meditation, and Buddhist forms like Vipassana and Dzogchen. ​I enjoy teaching and guiding the exploration of meditation, aiming for the core objective: breaking through the layers of ego to attain an experiential understanding of our True Nature. At the same time, I've realized that true human connection can be as powerful for healing and serve as a spiritual catalyst as plant medicine.
