Join us on this mystical journey into the heart of the Amazon jungle to experience her power and mystery. She will challenge us to shed old patterns as we open to levels of ourselves long forgotten. 

Some of our experiences include:

  • Intimate time with the Grefa family in Rio Blanco, a lush primal area of the jungle, filled with wildlife and spirits of the jungle
  • Hikes deep in the Amazon jungle to sacred water falls
  • Exploration of ancient Petroglyphs dated from 3000BC where Don Augustin shares his rich knowledge of the stories of these carvings
  • Teachings of the powerful healing medicines of the jungle
  • Sacred healing ceremonies
  • Culture Share including a market of hand crafts and an evening of music and stories
  • Time to replenish in the natural volcanic fed hot springs of Papallacta Thermas

Our journey begins with elder shaman; Don Augustin Grefa and his community of Naporunas as they lead us on a steep and challenging hike into the jungle opening us slowly to receive the magic of the forest and experience our elemental connection to nature and her cycles.

The Lowland Quichua place great importance on the dream world and find the forest a mystical place with gateways into other worlds abounding we will learn some of their skills for working with dreamtime to learn the messages of our visions.

Don Augustin Grefa is also renowned for his knowledge of all the healing medicines of the jungle.  His first teacher was his grandmother whom had become his primary guardian up until he was forced into slavery within Peru. His escape found him as a young boy traveling the many tributaries of the Amazon to return to his homeland. The spirits of the forest taught him directly how to utilize her riches for his survival. He shares this powerful experience of his own in his work as a shaman and with outside communities to help us to bring about social and environmental balance, and to live in a more earth honoring way.
