This video was recorded while preparing Bobinsana for our next diet, in one week…

Bobinsana is a real beauty, a true healer of the heart and the internal waters. She encourages us to feel so we can heal. To dare to dive deeper in our inner waters, to love fiercely, to have compassion and become one with all that exists.

Cantando la bella la eza de tu flor
Bailando contigo en mi interior
Abriendo a la sanación del corazón
Buscando cura dejando la ilusión

Bobinsana… Linda
Bobinsana…. Sirenita
Cura cura mi cuerpo
Con tu amor me sano
Limpia limpia mi pasado
Con tu amor me llevo
Hasta el rio

Bobinsana… Princesa
De la selva, Plantita Maestra
Bobinsana… Princesa
Bobinsana… Bobinsana…

Tu me llevas hasta el cielo Bobinsana
Tu manifestas mis sueños Bobinsana
Mi corazón esta abierto Bobinsana
Bobinsana, Bobinsana, Bobinsana, Bobinsana

Ahora huelo el olor del amor
Perfumando todo mi alrededor
Mirando tus flores dejando el dolor
De la vida disfrutando el sabor

Bobinsana… Linda
Bobinsana…. Sirenita
Heal and cure my body
With your love, I feel
Clean, clean my history
With your love you lead me
To the river inside me

In this testimonial, Anselm is sharing about two important aspects of the medicine path within the Shipibo culture; the difference between Ayahuasca ceremonies and the traditional process called dieta and the importance of facilitation when we enter such a deep and life changing experience.

Here is the testimonial of someone that came twice for a Master Plant Diet retreat and became a dear friend.

"I went twice to Peru with Isabelle and Matthew, and each experience was deeply impactful.

Their kindness, presence, and availability create a rare space where you can go through intense experiences while feeling safe. Their guidance is precise, human, and essential.

The ceremonies are truly beautiful. The shaman’s songs, the songs of Isabelle and Matthew, as well as the collective singing of the group create a timeless space of deep connection and powerful energy.

On a personal level, it has been a deeply transformative experience. I was able to dive into my traumas, face them, and move through them. But also to navigate much larger spaces, as if different dimensions of reality were opening. It is both an inner exploration and a journey far beyond oneself.

I come back from these experiences with real, lasting changes, and with the feeling of having touched something deeply true within me.'

"The most challenging task in life is self-transformation." - Nelson Mandela

From what I’ve witnessed through years of therapies, research and personal experiences with healing modalities, the Shipibo Master Plant Diet is definitely one of the most radical and transformative processes to be known. A diet or « Sama » as it is known in Shipibo, is more than what you can experience with one or many Ayahuasca ceremonies, or any other entheogen from around the world. It is a true technology, combining the power of Ayahuasca guided by a skilled shaman, the healing of other powerful plants called « Master Plants » or « Teachers », a specific diet, isolation, rest and self reflection. It is a mix of vision quest, ceremonies and opening oneself to the mystery of the non-linear, quantum healing of the plant realm.

Within our 16 days retreat, we offer well rounded facilitation, where you are prepared months in advance and receive guidance and support all throughout the process. The presence of other like-minded beings, sharing circles, teachings, meditations, a provided workbook and supervision during a 4 day silence, add to the depth of the healing process offered, as well as continue to support you in your post diet and integration.

For years we have witnessed deep transformations, radical life changes, freedom from addictions, healings of depression, liberation from spiritual oppression, the creation of life-long friendships, bondings, and more.

Join us for a lifetime adventure from May 13th-29th, in the Pucallpa region of the Peruvian Amazon. ONLY 2 SPOTS AVAILABLE!

THE ART OF FINDING HEALERS IN THE AMAZON

“If you need a surgery, do you go to a doctor who seems nice? Niceness matters, but you also want to find someone with ethics, scruples and skill.”
- Isabelle Garceau

Working as facilitators in the Amazon is truly what we can qualify a “jungle”. Searching and finding the right healer to work with can be complicated and is a true mastery as you also have to be able to “see” what is happening through your shamanic vision and feel how energy is conducted.

In the immediate now, and the world of revelations that have been recently forthcoming concerning the Epstein files specifically, we are taking the opportunity to share with clarity and transparency, more about what it takes to find leaders with integrity within the medicine community.

The Shipibo Master Plant Dieta is an ancient and truly incredible technology, developed in the cradle of the Amazon jungle over untold millennia and generations, arriving to us today with the power to cure and heal many of the physical, mental, emotional and psycho-spiritual infirmities the average, modern human suffers from. When you diet a master plant, you not only ingest that plant, but you also abstain from many other foods, from s*xuality, from technology, from speaking, and from all the things we normally use to distract ourselves, so that our consciousness can be open, clear and unsullied by distraction, in order to tune into the frequency of our master plant, and receive it’s teachings, as well as those of the ayahuasca that is taken in conjunction.

These dietas should be administered and supervised by a qualified maestro or maestra. The Shipibo do not care for or use the word “shaman” but prefer maestro, meaning “master” or “teacher.” Traditionally, the title was not self-given, but is rather a title of honor bestowed by a community on one who has him or herself accumulated years of their own dietas, and has reached a level of mastery that allows them to administer dietas to others.

Having nearly a decade of combined living experience and working with the medicine in Peru, we have spent much time and energy, searching for the best maestros and maestras. In the world of ayahuasca there are many charlatans, opportunists, false prophets, deceivers, and outright black magicians. With any title of honor and power, comes great responsibility, and as with any other power structure, the maestro or maestra is also prone to succumbing to the vices of vanity, money, or s*xual opportunism. When we advise others on finding somewhere in Peru for ayahuasca we always say, “if you need a surgery, do you go to a doctor who seems nice? Niceness matters, but you also want to find someone with ethics, scruples and skill.” It’s no different in the world of Ayahuasca, so it is always our mission to share the medicine in the safest container we can create, beginning with the integrity of the maestros and maestras we work with. As well, we are also searching for a maestro or maestra that embodies the title of “teacher” and is open and keen to share the wisdom they have accumulated since their initiation into the world of medicine. Unfortunately, since the Shipibos came into contact with the westerners and “gringos” and that Ayahuasca became a healing quest internationally, many powerful “Cuaranderos and Curanderas” are losing their compass and have become mesmerized by the illusion of s*x, money and fame. Sometimes, it is simply that a healer gets too famous and lets go of the strict dieting, resting, and recharging because they become the money maker of a whole family and community, and sometimes they crumble under the pressure.

Our work is one of filtering and making sure that we can offer the safest space for our participants to experience the healing of the medicine. This leads us to to introduce you to a beautiful human, and shining young maestro we encountered in our work with ayahuasca in Costa Rica at the center Soltara, Maestro Soi Ochavano Lopez. Descending from the renowned lineage of the Ochavano clan, Soi carries forward the traditions of one of the oldest and most notorious Shipibo lineages. Soi is young, but already a powerful guide and vast resource of traditional amazonian medicine, and who is keen to teach and share his knowledge. He started to work with the medicine at the age of 17, guided by a long past lineage of great healers. He is committed to service and to share his authentic and powerful knowledge . He stands for integrity and truth, which, in these complicated times we live in, can be fraught with challenges, among the Shipibo being no exception.

If you feel the soul call to Jon us, we still have a few spots available for May! November is also open and we are truly looking forward to support your growth in the best way possible.

At service, with so much Love and care from the Heart of the Jungle.

This week, we want to share more about our featured artist Eduardo, presenting as Edzy Frequency. Eduardo Carvalho is a dear brother hailing from Cape Verde and Portugal, although he is a universal being and a true gift to humanity. You can find him on many platforms and he was generous enough to share two song for our album.
We had the joy and honor of sitting with Eduardo in Paoyhan and bearing witness to his song craft and soft, anchoring presence in the maloca. Eduardo has a long history as a musician in bands ranging from rock, reggae, experimental, fusion and his more recent artistic turn to medicine music, after beginning his medicine path. He has recently been seen performing at medicine music festivals in Europe and continues to grow and serve as a musician and healer, bringing his own unique musical medicine to the world.
Eduardo generously contributed two tracks to the album, “Gracias Madrecita,” and “Hold Our Hands,” the later of which he will be sharing a performance of in our next installment. Until then, you can head over to Bandcamp to acquaint yourself with his offerings, along with the rest of the artists represented. Please enjoy our brother Edzy and stay tuned for his upcoming turn with a featured performance here at Heart Of The Jungle! Big hugs and big love to you all!

One thing we get to know when we work closer with Ayahuasca, is that “She” is a mystery, a greater counciousness. Not one ceremony is the same and usually, we receive what we need and not what we desire or expect.

Although, one thing we know and experience when we drink this potent brew is the opening of a portal where we feel VIBRATIONS. Energy becomes visible, palpable and so present that you cannot deny that all that exists within and around you has a frequency.

When we approach an Ayahuasca ceremony as any counscious practice; meditation, yoga or mindfulness, we discover ways to work with energy, sound and vibrations in order to become the alchemist and the creator of our own reality.

In our 16 day Peruvian pilgrimage, SACRED VIBRATIONS, we will experience two Ayahuasca ceremonies, supported with the energy of the high jungle of Moyobamba, nestled between the Andes and the Amazon Forest. All participants will be prepared and led in a safe way so they can initiate this journey within the Great Mother Ayahuasca’s woumb to be reborn to themselves and to the world.

Une chose que nous apprenons en travaillant plus étroitement avec l'Ayahuasca, c'est que « Elle » est un mystère, une conscience supérieure. Chaque cérémonie est unique et, généralement, nous recevons ce dont nous avons besoin, et non ce que nous désirons ou attendons.

Cependant, une chose est sûre lorsque nous buvons cette puissante décoction : un portail s'ouvre vers lequel nous ressentons des VIBRATIONS. L'énergie devient visible, palpable et si présente qu'il est impossible de nier que tout ce qui existe en nous et autour de nous possède une fréquence.

En abordant une cérémonie d'Ayahuasca comme toute pratique de conscience – méditation, yoga ou pleine conscience –, nous découvrons comment travailler avec l'énergie, le son et les vibrations pour devenir les alchimistes et les créateurs de notre propre réalité.

Lors de notre pèlerinage péruvien de 16 jours, VIBRATIONS SACRÉES, nous vivrons deux cérémonies d'Ayahuasca, imprégnées de l'énergie de la haute jungle de Moyobamba, nichée entre les Andes et la forêt amazonienne. Tous les participants seront préparés et accompagnés en toute sécurité afin d'entamer ce voyage au sein de l'énergie de la Grande Mère Ayahuasca et de renaître à eux-mêmes et au monde.

SACRED VIBRATIONS PILGRIMAGE,
JANUARY 23RD to FEBRUARY 5th 2026

Geobiology is about feeling the vibrations of the earth, the vibrational frequencies of living things... connecting to the subtle world, the invisible world!
Geo: earth - bio: life - logy: knowledge

This knowledge dates back to ancient times and has been used by great builders and architects across five continents to construct places of worship such as cathedrals, mosques, and synagogues; sacred spaces such as stone circles and pyramids; and harmonious living spaces. Geobiological skills, which measure the energy quality of a place, can harmonize vibrations and create healthy living spaces.

Through the SACRED VIBRATIONS Pilgrimage - Peru, we will be immersed in the heart of Andean history and culture, where an introduction to GEOBIOLOGY will be offered. Through experiences, we will be able to connect to the subtle vibrations of places powerful in cosmo-telluric energies that have the power to release positive, revitalizing, harmonizing energies... allowing transformation, healing, and connection to one's inner self...

This part of the trip will be facilitated by Aude Louis, a geobiologist with a degree in architecture (architecte dplg-France) and a passionate traveler. She works in Quebec in the conceptualization and construction of healthy, living, and conscious homes. www.habiterre-architecture.com
