An honour to welcome Mauricio & Julia Diniz to the Solstice Temple Gathering on the 19th-22nd June .wild.retreat
Mauricio Arciniega was born in the Valley of the Yuma river, in Gigante Huila, Colombia, where he grew up on a cacao farm surrounded by the natural rhythms of the land. From an early age he was drawn to the sacred, visiting ancestral sites and immersing himself in the wisdom of indigenous tribes across Colombia — including the Ingas, Kamentsa, Witoto, Koguis and Wayuu — as well as communities in Ecuador, Peru and Brazil. Each encounter deepened his connection to plant medicine, ancestral practices and the sacred elements of Earth and Fire.
Since 2012 he has brought these teachings to the United Kingdom, founding The Green Path as a space to share transformative wisdom in a safe, respectful and authentic way. Through ceremony, healing sessions and workshops, Mauricio supports people on their journey toward wholeness, connection and spiritual awakening
The Hapé ceremony is a sacred invitation to connect with Mother Earth and channel the healing spirit of the jungle. Through the ancient wisdom of plant medicine, we open a space of deep listening
