Ancestral Medicine ceremonie with Lucas & Jannika | Encuentros Qhapaq

WHAT IS AYAHUASCA?

Ayahuasca is not a substance that "creates" something inside you.
Rather, it acts as a key, opening access to parts of yourself that are often hidden beneath years of conditioning, emotional protection, and unconscious patterns.

The experience is not about escaping reality or chasing extraordinary visions.
It is about entering a state where the body, emotions, and consciousness can reveal what has been waiting to be seen.
Many people describe the experience as meeting themselves with a level of honesty, compassion, and clarity they had never experienced before.

As the ordinary thinking mind softens, deeper layers of the subconscious become more accessible. Memories, emotions, beliefs, and patterns may naturally emerge—not to overwhelm you, but to be observed from a new perspective.

For many participants, this process brings a gradual release of emotional tension, accumulated stress, and long-held fears, allowing the nervous system to settle into greater regulation, openness, and inner balance.

Ayahuasca does not change who you are.
It simply helps remove what has been covering your natural clarity.

''We don't interpret your experience for you. We support you in discovering your own truth.''

THIS RETREAT MAY BE FOR YOU IF...
• You feel that living through the same patterns, emotions or thoughts is no longer enough.
• You are seeking greater clarity, self-understanding and a more authentic relationship with yourself.
• You are ready to explore your inner world with curiosity, honesty and responsibility.
• You wish to release emotional burdens from the past and cultivate a deeper sense of peace and presence.
• You understand that true transformation is not about finding quick answers, but about changing the way you relate to yourself and to life.

OUR INTENTION
Our intention is not to provide extraordinary experiences.
It is to create the right conditions for meaningful inner work.
Every element of the retreat—from preparation, group size, facilitation, music, integration, food, and post-retreat support—has been carefully designed to help you feel safe, supported, and able to fully surrender to your own process.

We do not believe you are broken.
We believe that beneath years of conditioning, protection, fear and emotional survival, your authentic self has never disappeared.
Our work is simply to help create the conditions where that truth can naturally emerge.

YOUR FACILITATOR
My name is Lucas.
For more than ten years I have been dedicated to the study and practice of human development, nervous system regulation, contemplative traditions, embodied awareness, and ancestral medicines.
My approach combines ancient wisdom with modern understanding of psychology, the nervous system, and conscious integration.
I don't see myself as someone who heals others.
My role is to hold a safe, honest, grounded space where people can reconnect with their own inner intelligence and discover the answers that already exist within them.
Every retreat is facilitated with deep respect for the medicine, for each participant, and for the responsibility that this work carries.

## Safety, Containment & Responsibility

Your safety—both physical and emotional—is our highest priority.

Working with ancestral medicines requires more than simply facilitating a ceremony. It requires preparation, discernment, experience, and a space where every participant feels genuinely supported throughout the entire process.

For this reason, every aspect of the retreat has been intentionally designed to create a safe, respectful, and well-contained environment.

IMPORTAN HIGHLIGHTS
• Small groups (maximum of 8 participants) to ensure personal attention and proper support.
• A mandatory video call before booking so we can get to know each other, answer your questions, and ensure the retreat is the right fit for you.
• A confidential health questionnaire to assess physical and psychological suitability.
• A detailed preparation guide to help you arrive mentally, emotionally, and physically ready.
• Clear integration support after the ceremony, because the experience continues long after the medicine wears off.

Participation requires honesty, openness, and personal responsibility.
To preserve the integrity of the group and the safety of every participant, we reserve the right to decline participation at any stage of the process.
Our intention is simple: to create an environment where you can fully surrender to your own experience, knowing you are held with care, respect, and presence.

## What Makes This Retreat Different?

Many retreats focus almost exclusively on the ceremony itself.

At Encuentros Qhapaq, we see the ceremony as only one part of a much deeper process.

Real transformation happens through preparation, conscious experience, and meaningful integration.

This is why our approach combines ancestral medicine with practical tools that help you embody what you discover and bring it into everyday life.

Our approach includes:
• Small groups to ensure genuine personal support.
• Careful screening before participation.
• Comprehensive preparation before the retreat.
• Post-retreat integration guidance.
• Breathwork and embodied awareness practices.
• Therapeutic and reflective integration tools.
• A holistic approach that considers the mental, emotional, physical, energetic, and spiritual dimensions of the human experience.

For us, the medicine opens the door.
Your awareness, your choices, and your daily life are where lasting transformation takes place.

BOOKING AND FOLLOWING STEPS
If you feel called to join us, the first step is simply to reach out.
Before confirming your participation, we'll schedule a personal video call to get to know each other, answer any questions you may have, and make sure this retreat is truly the right space for you.

Once accepted, you will receive:
• A confidential health questionnaire.
• A complete preparation guide.
• Practical recommendations to help you arrive fully prepared.

Our intention is that you feel informed, supported, and comfortable from the very beginning—not only during the retreat itself.

If you have any questions, no matter how small, I am always happy to help.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing this journey together.

"Step into the version of yourself you truly are."
With love and commitment, Lucas Guerrero Aguila
