A maloca, a traditional communal house or structure, serves as a central meeting place for indigenous peoples in the Amazon rainforest, particularly in Colombia, Brazil, and Peru. These round or rectangular structures, with their thatched roofs made of palm leaves, provide shelter and ventilation while harmoniously blending with the surrounding environment.

Beyond serving as a venue for ceremonies, rituals, social gatherings, and educational exchanges, malocas hold immense cultural significance in many indigenous communities. They serve as spiritual centers, strengthening the community’s connection with the natural world through shared experiences and ancestral wisdom.

Sharing circles are an important component of the process, providing numerous benefits:

* Emotional Processing: Sharing experiences helps process and integrate profound emotions.
* Trust and Connection: Vulnerability builds trust and deepens connections among participants.
* Expanded Perspectives: Listening to others’ stories offers inspiration and guidance.
* Safe Environment: A non-judgmental space allows openness and self-exploration.

Our shamans are present for guidance, to ensure a supportive and transformative healing journey for all participants.

We carefully craft our Ayahuasca brew using locally sourced ingredients and ensure the freshness of both the Ayahuasca vines and Chacruna leaves. The main compounds present in Ayahuasca are harmine, tetrahydroharmine, and harmaline. In contrast, the primary component of Chacruna leaves is DMT (dimethyltryptamine). It’s interesting to note that DMT is actually endogenous, meaning that it is naturally produced within the human body. This remarkable fact adds another layer of significance to the healing properties of Ayahuasca.

Ayahuasca has been described as a catalyst for positive change, inspiring individuals to break free from self-destructive patterns and limiting beliefs. By illuminating the underlying causes of these behaviors and beliefs, ayahuasca enables people to reframe their perspective and make necessary changes in their lives. This can lead to profound shifts in relationships, career choices, and overall life satisfaction.

Yes, it is possible for individuals to have what can be described as a “religious experience” during an ayahuasca ceremony. The effects of ayahuasca can lead to profound spiritual insights, a sense of connection to a higher power, or even a mystical experience.
In traditional indigenous cultures, ayahuasca has long been used for spiritual purposes, often as a means of connecting with the natural world, ancestral spirits, or the divine. During ayahuasca ceremonies, participants may encounter visions or receive guidance that they perceive as deeply meaningful and transformative, akin to a religious experience.
However, it’s essential to note that experiences with ayahuasca can vary widely from person to person. Some individuals may not have a spiritual or religious experience at all, while others may find their beliefs and worldviews profoundly altered. The nature of the experience is highly personal and subjective, influenced by many factors.

Don Benigno, affectionately known as the "Maestro de los Maestros" (Master of Masters), is one of the oldest and most respected shamans still practicing the ancient art of white magic in Iquitos, Peru.

Despite his advanced age of 80+, Don Benigno continues to drink the sacred ayahuasca medicine, a testament to his lifelong dedication to his craft.

Coming from the old school of vegetalistas, Don Benigno was born and raised on the border between Peru and Ecuador. His first encounter with Mother Ayahuasca occurred when he was just six years old, and his powerful icaros—the sacred chants used during ayahuasca ceremonies—are a blend of native Quechua and Spanish.

Don Benigno has been an integral part of La Luna del Amazonas since its inception, sharing his vast knowledge and wisdom with students, patients, and guests from around the world. As a renowned master, he has numerous disciples and has treated countless individuals seeking healing from a wide array of ailments.

Withdrawal from the city to do a retreat in the jungle has many benefits apart from the powerful medicine and the healing work from the shamans.
Spending time in nature offers numerous benefits, including:

1. Stress reduction: Natural environments promote relaxation and can significantly lower stress levels.
2. Improved mood: Exposure to sunlight, fresh air, and greenery can help elevate mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
3. Enhanced cognitive function: Studies have shown that spending time in nature can improve focus, concentration, and overall cognitive performance.
4. Improved sleep quality: Natural environments can help regulate circadian rhythms, leading to better sleep patterns.
5. Greater sense of connection: Immersing oneself in nature can foster a deeper connection with the environment, as well as a sense of community.

All in all, making time to connect with nature contributes to both physical and mental well-being.

As we depart from an impactful ayahuasca retreat, the process of integration begins.
In this photo, we see the shamans and our translator engaged in thoughtful discussion, reflecting on the past week and offering invaluable advice to ensure that the healing and growth experienced during the retreat continues to flourish.
The shamans, with their deep understanding of the plant medicine and its teachings, emphasize the importance of patience and self-compassion in the integration process.
They remind usthat the insights gained during the ceremonies may take time to fully unfold and that the journey of self-discovery is an ongoing, lifelong pursuit.
