AYAHUASCA
A Shamanic Journey Into Your Own Consciousness
July 26 to 30, 2025
Pre Journey - 3 Online Group Session - Shadow Work (Vera Lopez)
and 2 online "Spiritual Release Sessions" (Jim Hostler)
Based on more than 47 years of spiritual work, self healing and thousands of hours dedicated in assisting others, Vera Lopez, the founder of Spirits of the Earth, and shadow work coach, considered very important to take this journey in 3 stages: the prior Peru;
the Plant Medicine 5 nights, 3 days retreat in Peru; and the after journey optional, still in Peru.
For that reason Vera will be leading 3 online shadow work group sessions
to support the work done on the prior stage.
And Jim Hostler, our Ayahusca retreat host will be offering 2 individual Spiritual Release Sessions 'SRS'.
These are sessions where the work is done in a higher consciousness with ancient tools, a pendulum and a magnet*, these personal sessions will focus on clear, transform, and transcend limiting issues in your life.
For the SRS all issues are welcome, and we know that the issues coming up for healing and releasing are the perfect ones to prepare you for your Journey with Mother Ayahusca .
5 nights, 3 days
Ayahausca Retreat in the Sacred Valley of Peru lead by
Shipibo Healer and Q'ero Pampamisayoq
Whether you have experienced an Ayahuasca journey before, or not, each journey you take with the sacred plant medicine is unique, powerful, and insightful. It is also to be done with the utmost respect to the Mother Ayahuasca. During this retreat held in the Sacred Valley of Peru you will experience two ayahuasca ceremonies lead by a Shipibo Healer and a Q’ero Pampamisayoq. The retreat is hosted in the traditional manner, according to the Inca principle of Munay: Love. Munay principle applies to the way in which the plant medicine is prepared and how the iqaros - or shamanic chants - are sung.
After Ayahuasca Journey - Optional time in Peru
Then the after, integration... for that reason the retreat is being offer before a deep journey in the Heart of the Andean tradition and sacred time to allow the medicine continue the shift our consciousness and realigned inner dimensions before you return to your everyday living.
KARPAY INITIATIONS, INKA TRAIL, AND LION'S GATE
A Journey of Heart led by Misti, Vera and Jim.
July 31 to August 9 or 11, 2025
For over 2000 years, the Shipibo indigenous tribes in the Ucayali region of the Amazon River basin have been considered the caretakers of the jungle. Previously two distinct tribes, the Shipibo and Conibo, they became a single tribe due to intermarriage and cultural similarities.To this day, they maintain many of the traditions of their ancestors, including the ritual use of Ayahuasca and other plant medicines of the Amazon. With one foot in the past while living in the 21st century, they strive to uphold the wisdom gathered from millenia of living in the richest and most biodiverse region in the world. Perhaps the most important aspect of Shipibo culture is their deeply-rooted spirituality, with an emphasis placed on plant spirit shamanism. For them, much of their knowledge comes from the plants themselves, particularly when it comes to healthcare and their worldview. This is evidenced in their pottery, textiles, baskets, art, and beadwork, which display patterns representative of the harmonious energy field that pervades all things.
The Q’ero people have lived for centuries in villages at 18,000 feet of elevation, and were thought to have disappeared until they descended from the mountains in the 1950s to share their wisdom and their prophecies with all people. They are known as weavers of the Light, they weave 5th dimensional symbols into their manta cloths, which emanate light and living energy. Their cloths have the same symbols woven into them as those of the ancient Inca. Their language is considered to be over 20,000 years old, and is believed to have seeded ancient Hebrew and Sanskrit, which are the languages of many of our holy texts. They are one of the few civilizations on Earth that still hold their ancient teachings and ancient codes intact, as they have not been influenced or invaded by other cultures. Their history, which has been handed down from generation to generation perhaps for thousands of years, states that they are of the same lineage as the ancient Mayans, Hopi, Navajo, and Tibetans, and their language and rituals share many similarities.
Home - Lima, PERU
If all possible, I invite you to consider to arrive in Peru few days prior of our official journey starts, this will allow you the opportunity to rest and explore Lima, the Capital of Peru.
Lima lies on the country's arid Pacific coast. Though its colonial center is preserved, it's a bustling metropolis and one of South America’s largest cities. It's home to the Museo Larco collection of pre-Columbian art and the Museo de la Nación, tracing the history of Peru’s ancient civilizations. The Plaza de Armas and the 16th-century cathedral are the heart of old Lima Centro.
If you decided to arrive in Lima prior to our official journey, be ready to join the group in the morning of July 26, and travel together to Cusco. Also you might wish to arrive in Cusco prior to July 26 for early exploration, that is possible too, just keep in mind, whatever you choose before July 26 is optional and can be flexible. We will do our best to assist you with all arrangements.
