SHAMAN

Maestro Hernan from the Shipibo tradition guides the retreat (in the photo: the beginning of the Ayahuasca ceremony, August 2023, Spain).

Why him?

• We have collaborated with Maestro Hernan both as organizers of retreats and as participants in his ceremonies. We realized that there is much to learn from him.  For your information, we have been working in Peru since 2014 and have extensive experience with various shamans.
• Maestro Hernan works powerfully and earnestly.
• His ceremonies are deep and meaningful.
• Hernan can cleanse the "Augean stables" with his powerful icaros (chants).
• He works super reliably, regardless of external (and internal) circumstances.

Hernan hails from the Masisea area, Pucallpa, Peru. He began learning shamanism at the age of 9. His mentors were his grandfather and his father's brother (the renowned Maestro Don Antonio Vazquez Galarreta). His grandfather gave him three diets: Toé, Tamamuri, and Sapote Renako. Then, he underwent diets with Pinon Blanco, Chiric Sanango, and Shiwawaku (12 months of diet).

ACCOMMODATION CONDITIONS

We provide a house outside the city where both participants and organizers of the retreat stay. It's a quiet place surrounded by nature.

FOOD

Two meals a day on the ceremony days. 

Three meals a day on days WITHOUT a ceremony.

We follow the Ayahuasca diet but do not deprive ourselves: an acceptable amount of protein is included in our meals.
