Embracing the Equinox
A Shamanic Reflection and Opportunities for Deeper Connection
Have me read this to you:
Hello dear soul,
As I sit by the sea in Lima, listening to the rhythmic waves of the ocean, I find myself deeply reflecting on the journey this year has taken me on. The battles fought, the lessons learned, and the profound shifts that have created space for the wonderful souls and opportunities that now grace my path. It has been a time of transformation, of letting go and inviting in, and I feel called to share this moment of reflection with you.
The Equinox is a sacred moment of balance, a pause between the light and the dark, the old and the new. It invites us to stand in the stillness and take stock of how far we have come over these past nine months. This is not just a time for reflection, but also for gratitude. Gratitude for the challenges that have shaped us, for the people who have supported us, and for the opportunities that have come our way to expand our gifts on this Earth.
As I reflect on my own journey, I’m also thinking of you—of how we can come together, share our wisdom and raise the joy in our collective experience. We each hold unique gifts, and when we use them in harmony, we create ripples of love, peace and expansion that echo out into the world.
A Ritual for Gratitude and Growth
To honour this Equinox, I invite you to take some time to reflect and give thanks for all that has passed. Here’s a simple ritual to ground yourself in gratitude and to set powerful intentions for the months ahead:
1. Find a Quiet Space – Light a candle or incense, and create a space where you feel calm and centred.
2. Reflect on the Past Nine Months – Take a few deep breaths, and as you exhale, release any lingering tension. Think about the battles you've overcome, the lessons you've learned and the joy you've experienced.
3. Journaling Reflection – Grab a journal and write down three things you are grateful for that have unfolded in the last nine months. Acknowledge the growth, the connections, and the opportunities that have come into your life.
4. Set Intentions for the Next Three Months – As we move toward the Solstice, ask yourself: What do I wish to invite into my life? Write down three intentions for what you want to create, experience or manifest before the end of the year.
5. Gratitude Offering – As a final act of gratitude, offer something small to the Earth—a flower, a stone, or even a simple thank you spoken to the wind. This will seal your intentions with the energy of the natural world.
A Time for Community and Connection
This Equinox reminds us that we are all connected, and there is great power in coming together with like-minded souls. I want to extend an invitation for you to join me in deepening this connection through my podcast and my private community. By becoming part of this sacred space, you'll receive regular lunar updates, participate in realignment ceremonies, and have the chance to work directly with me on your spiritual journey.

Join Us in the Jungle: A Sacred Retreat for Healing and Awakening
There comes a time in each of our lives when we feel the call to step away from the noise of the everyday world and immerse ourselves in something deeper—something transformative. This is why I invite you to join me on a sacred retreat into the heart of the Amazon jungle, where you will experience powerful healing with the sacred plants, guided by traditions that have been passed down for generations.
For 25 years, I have worked with the sacred medicine of Ayahuasca, and these retreats are the culmination of a lifetime’s dedication to healing and spiritual awakening. Alongside my trusted partner and skilled curandero (shaman) Arnaldo, we will take you on a journey into the sacred ways of the Mestizo traditions. We honour the wisdom of the plants and create a safe and nurturing space for your profound inner insights and transformation. See testimonials on my Instagram or new YouTube.
Why Come to the Jungle?
The jungle is not just a place—it is a living, breathing spirit. It holds the power of nature in its purest form, and the plants here are wise, ancient teachers. When you step into this space, you are stepping into a world where you can deeply reconnect with yourself, heal old wounds, and gain clarity on your life’s path. There are many reasons to come to the jungle and work with the sacred plants:
- Deep Healing – The plants we work with, especially Ayahuasca, have the power to heal on physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Whether you are seeking to release trauma, reconnect with your purpose, or simply clear away the heaviness of modern life, these plants will guide you toward the healing you need.
- Spiritual Awakening – The jungle is a place of profound spiritual insight. Here, you will have the opportunity to connect with the divine, receive messages from the spirit world and gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your place in the universe.
- Safe and Sacred Space – With over two and a half decades of experience, Arnaldo and I uphold the sacred Mestizo traditions, ensuring that each ceremony is conducted with the utmost care, respect and safety. You will be held in a loving, supportive environment throughout your journey.
- Connect with Nature – The jungle offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from the pressures of the outside world and reconnect with the natural rhythms of life. As you breathe in the pure air and listen to the sounds of the forest, you will feel the deep sense of peace and connection that only nature can provide.
Your Wellbeing is Our Priority
We understand that embarking on a healing journey with Ayahuasca is a big step. That’s why we are here to support you in every moment. You will be surrounded by a team that is dedicated to your wellbeing, ensuring that you feel safe, cared for and nurtured throughout your stay. Every retreat is designed with love and intention, and we provide guidance before, during and after your time in the jungle to support you integrating the healing in a meaningful way.
We hold the sacredness of this work with the highest respect, and it is our honour to offer this space for your healing and awakening. Our sacred prayer is that you will leave with a renewed sense of self, a deeper connection to the Earth and all life, with clarity about your path forward.
If you are ready to take this journey, to sit with the sacred plants and to discover the healing and awakening that awaits you, we would be honoured to welcome you to the jungle.
Simply book a call with me to discover more.
