About this Retreat
Maestra Lucila
After rigorous training from Leonardo, strict dietas, and many years in isolation, Lucila has followed in her father’s footsteps to become a Maestra.
Under the guidance of her father Leonardo, Lucila spent three years in isolation dieting with many master plants including chiric sanango, ayahuma, marusa, shihuahuaco, toé and piñon blanco before becoming a curandera.
Lucila is driven by a strong desire to help others and since she first began her training with the plants, it has been her desire to heal not only the locals in the community, but people from all parts of the world. Today Lucila is known in her community, and among all those who have visited Mai Niti, to be a highly powerful and deeply compassionate healer.
Legendary Ayahuasca Master with 70+ Years Experience at Peru Retreat Ayahuasca
Leonardo, our senior ayahuasca master at the Peru retreat ayahuasca center, began working with sacred plants at the remarkable age of 12. Now 85 years old, he brings over seven decades of profound plant medicine knowledge to our ceremonies. This exceptional ayahuasca master has guided countless healing journeys throughout his lifetime in the Peruvian Amazon.
At our Peru retreat ayahuasca, tradition flows through generations. Leonardo initiated the training of his daughter Lucila as an ayahuasca master more than 20 years ago. Today, father and daughter unite their healing energies to guide transformative ceremonies together, combining ancient wisdom with contemporary understanding.
Traditional Training of a True Ayahuasca Master; Leonardo's journey as an ayahuasca master began under his own father's guidance, following ancestral Shipibo traditions at our Peru retreat ayahuasca location. His initial plant dietas included the powerful teacher plants tobacco, pinon colorado, and chiric sanango—foundational elements in traditional Amazonian plant medicine that continue to inform his masterful ceremony work today.
