Taita Samith Osorio

Taita Samith was born in Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia,
but his true roots were planted in the sacred territory of Santa Rosa de Sucumbíos,
among the Cofán people.

There, under the guidance of Grandfather Guillermo Lucitante Yaiguaje,
he spent eight years as an apprentice —
learning the science of Yagé and the ways of the jungle,
living side by side with a true lineage of elders.

Taita Samith is not only a bearer of knowledge,
he is a light on the path:
a living example of humility, commitment, respect, and love.

His mastery shines in the ceremonies he holds,
in the medicine he cooks,
and in the simple way he walks through life —
honoring his family, his wife, his children, and the sacred commitment he carries.

His word is clear.
His music —medicine songs born from the spirit— carries healing where words cannot reach.

During the retreat, Taita Samith will guide the sacred Yagé brewing workshop,
lead two Yagé ceremonies,
and hold the traditional purgative ritual known as 'El Vomitivo' —
an ancient cleanse of body and spirit.

With his presence, he reminds us that true mastery is not in titles,
but in the way a heart walks the world.
