About this Retreat
Erik Hendrick and Nilda Quispe, driven by their personal healing journeys, encountered the wisdom of Shipibo curanderos. This transformative encounter led them to embark on a rigorous initiation process, becoming authorized guides for Ayahuasca ceremonies. Over many years, they dedicated themselves to mastering the use of medicinal plants and delving into Amazonian and Andean traditional medicine, particularly entheogenic plants. Trained directly by Shipibo maestros curanderos, they now share their knowledge and experience with others.
Erik Hendrick holds a Master’s degree in Transpersonal Psychology and is currently pursuing a PhD in Human Development at the Anthropological University of Guadalajara. Along with Nilda Quispe, Erik is deeply committed to exploring and understanding the complexities of human nature. His ongoing education encompasses the study of mythology from various cultures, comparative religions, mysticism, wisdom traditions, depth psychology, transpersonal psychology, and psychedelic science. Both Erik and Nilda are engaged in continuous psycho-spiritual development.
Details of this retreat
Our 5-day retreat is designed for those seeking a deeper and more sustained healing experience in a safe, responsible, and professional environment. This retreat includes participation in three Ayahuasca ceremonies.
In our ceremonies, we honor the traditional use of Ayahuasca medicine. We guide you in your process of cleansing, healing, and transformation through shamanic, energetic, and spiritual support. We deeply respect your internal process, which involves avoiding direct physical contact and unnecessary conversations during the experience to foster your introspection. We will support you using prayers, ícaros (sacred chants of Ayahuasca medicine), sopladas (with jungle perfumes and tobacco), and the use of instruments like drums and maracas.
