This weekend I will be with Maestro Teo and Maestra Marina in their community as we begin the journey of building their own Medicine Center amongst 90 hectares of land that they acquired a few years ago.
Together with their family they have been working hard to cultivate medicinal plants on this land for several years, and we are so excited to bring this project to the next stage together - to build a space for healing retreats and master plant dietas in the maestros' home, where the sacred plants of the Amazon are found.
We are delighted to give back to Teo & Marina and their family, who we love and respect so much, and we can’t wait to partner with them to bring guests of Anam Cara Retreats to the jungle for authentic jungle medicine and master plant dietas in the future.
Spirit plant medicine is a beautiful world that Shipibo healers have refined over generations, and this is why this collaboration is so close to our hearts.
If you feel called to support Teo, Marina, and this project, let us know—it takes a village, as they say!
I’m going to keep you all posted on the journey in the coming weeks.
