About this Retreat
Sitting with Taita Benjamin Chasoy offers a rare opportunity to engage with authentic, living ancestral wisdom. As a member of the Inga Indigenous community, Taita Benjamin has been rooted in the sacred Yagé tradition since birth. His spiritual path is shaped by his paternal Inga lineage and enriched by his maternal Tayrona heritage, granting him a unique and expansive cosmovision.
His deep connection with the Arhuaco and Kogi peoples of northern Colombia further broadens his perspective, offering students a rare synthesis of Indigenous traditions from both the North and South of the country. This integrative approach provides a holistic understanding of sacred medicine, ceremonial practice, and nature-based spirituality.
Together with his brother, Taita Richard Chasoy—a respected elder and medicine carrier—they prepare the sacred Yagé in the jungles of Puerto Asís. Their work is guided by reverence, integrity, and a commitment to preserving the ancient ways of their lineage.
Taita Benjamin Chasoy is a guardian of nature and tradition, offering his teachings in an environment rooted in authenticity, humility, and profound spiritual insight. To learn from him is to receive teachings that go beyond the intellect—an embodied, heart-centred transmission of Indigenous knowledge meant to guide transformation, healing, and a respectful connection with the natural world. Through this sacred exchange, the wisdom of his people not only continues to thrive but is also passed on to future generations with care and purpose.
With a lifetime devoted to the sacred traditions of his ancestors, Taita Richard Chasoy embodies the living memory of the Inga people. Born in Colombia and recognised as a respected elder within his community, he carries the ancestral responsibility of preparing the sacred Yagé medicine—a role entrusted only to those with deep lineage, discipline, and spiritual maturity.
Rooted in his paternal Inga lineage and enriched by the legacy of his maternal Tayrona ancestry, Taita Richard offers a perspective that bridges the ancient wisdom of both the Andean-Amazonian and northern coastal traditions. This unique convergence shapes a cosmovision that is both grounded and expansive.
From his home deep in the jungle of Puerto Asís, he lives in direct relationship with the plant spirits, the rhythms of the forest, and the guidance of his elders. His medicine work is not only ceremonial but also deeply ecological—honouring the land, the elements, and the cycles of nature that sustain all life.
Over the years, Taita Richard has brought this sacred work to communities across Latin America—from Argentina to Mexico, and throughout El Salvador, Panama, and the Dominican Republic—carrying his tradition with humility, strength, and unwavering commitment.
To learn from Taita Richard is to enter into a space of quiet depth, where teachings are shared not through theory, but through presence, lived experience, and the medicine itself. He is a guardian of nature and tradition, offering a transmission that speaks to the soul—an invitation into ancestral knowledge that transforms, heals, and reconnects us to what is essential. In walking this path with him, we help ensure that this sacred wisdom continues to thrive and be passed on to future generations.

Welcome to Co-Inspired by Plant Medicine—a space where it is understood that every spark of inspiration, every transformative moment, and every step in our personal evolution is inherently collective—co-created and co-inspired by the presence of others and the energy we share together.
Our retreats are born from our personal journeys with ancestral medicines, and our commitment to this path is both personal and deeply heartfelt. Guided by the Earth, held by the wisdom of elders who so generously share their teachings, and moved by a profound connection with the Sacred plants, our team comes together to hold you in compassion, safety, and presence—inviting the emergence of your most authentic self.
It is a true honor to walk this path—not only in service of individual healing, but in devotion to collective transformation. Through this work, we hope to inspire meaningful connection and contribute, in our own way, to a more conscious and compassionate world.

Our retreats are guided by Indigenous elders with deep-rooted expertise in the ceremonial use of Sacred Medicines—primarily from the Inga and Kametsa traditions of Colombia. Each retreat is anchored in the highest respect for the ancestral lineages and traditional protocols that make these ceremonies sacred and potent.
We are committed to honouring the Earth and the guardians of these medicines. A portion of each retreat's proceeds directly supports land protection, reforestation efforts, and community-led projects that sustain the ecosystems and traditions from which these medicines emerge.
Our guides are not selected lightly. We work only with those we know personally—elders who embody humility, integrity, and a deep relationship with the medicine, their community, and the natural world.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗔𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗗 𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦
Sacred Medicines carry the profound power to guide us back to the parts of ourselves we've forgotten, silenced, or hidden away. Within a safe and nurturing space, you're gently invited to journey inward—to explore your innermost depths, release what no longer serves, unravel unconscious patterns, and nurture self-love, acceptance, and deep inner reconciliation.
Whether you're hearing the call for the first time or returning to deepen your path, you’ll be held in a warm, loving container—supported by a compassionate community who walk this path alongside you.
At the heart of our offering is the sacred remedy of Yagé, prepared and served in the traditional way by our Indigenous guides, honouring the wisdom and lineage from which it comes. In addition to Yagé, we offer a loving and respectful integration of other Sacred Plant Medicines—such as Ayahuasca, Kambo, Bufo Alvarius, and Xanga—held within a container of deep care, integrity, and respect for your individual process.
Our Bufo Alvarius ceremonies follow the customs of the Seri tribe of the Sonoran Desert, bringing ancestral wisdom into the space. Each modality is thoughtfully woven into the retreat experience with sensitivity and love, supporting you in releasing blockages, reconnecting to your essence, and cultivating clarity, inner peace, and transformation.
Wherever you are on your journey, this is a space to be held, to heal, and to remember who you truly are. Here, you'll have the opportunity to look within with honesty, shift old perspectives, release what no longer aligns, and move closer to your true essence.
𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡
Before your retreat, you'll receive guidance to help you prepare both physically and energetically for the journey ahead. Once your reservation is confirmed, you’ll be invited to an individual call followed by a group session with your retreat group. These sessions lay the foundation for our shared experience—offering practical insights, answering questions, sharing practices, and beginning to build the energetic field we’ll hold together.
Throughout this process, we are here for you. Personal conversations are always available before and after the retreat—you are never alone on this path.
To support your continued integration, we also offer ongoing care, including a three-month post-retreat integrative call designed to help you ground, process, and embody the insights you’ve received.
