About the Teacher

Why study with them?

I want to start our conversation telling you that my life through the ayahuasca medicine path started in 2008, but working with my ancestral lineage started much earlier. Since I was a youth, I was actively participating in the healing ceremonies that my family practices: we are descendants of a Andean tradition. My father is a hampy camayoc, and my great grandmother was the curandera of her little village, Quiquijana. This district is located in Quispicanchis, Cusco. My fathers lineage is traced back almost 600 years. Now my work with energy medicine (such as Andean offerings), Amazonian plant medicine, Huachuma and Ayahuasca is dedicated to these familiar maestros.
In 2017 I started Novalis alongside my wife and dear friend. I am director of our center, and we are dedicated to conservation. We are the stewards of over 2000 hectares of primary rainforest in the south-east Peruvian Amazon. I have been living and working in these jungles since 2006, and I know the people and plants here well.
Thank you for considering to work with us.

Thank you Juan!
Juan is a human with a big heart and a good ear. He will do what he can to make your stay a success. He took the time to listen to eveyone's story, helping with his knowledge and own experience. His presence was always very comforting. He also took us for a walk in the jungle and shared a fair bit of knowledge about medicinal plants. Thank you Juan and Cassandra for making this possible!
