Our Story

A meeting written in the stars

“Back in 2010, I was an avid traveller in search of knowledge and in desperate need of healing to mend a broken heart.

The  minute I sat down with Javier and Jessica in a cafe in Iquitos I knew that his broad happy smile and her sweet calming energy were not new.. it was as if I had always known them.

Javier Arevalo Shahuano and Jessica Ramirez Seopa are two authentic Amazonian Shamans, with a long experience in healing, soul retrieval, medicinal plants and Plant medicine.

I spent a week in a healing retreat with them and was totally blown away by their simple, direct, yet so knowledgeable approach, and decided that I had to share this treasure to the world.

Javier and Jessica, from their part, had already been exploited for their knowledge, and didn’t really think that all that enthusiasm would bring a big change in their lives.

But when the Universe conspires, miracles do happen...

With  the help of our friend Roberto, who was with me at the retreat, a plot of land in the Amazonian Jungle was bought, and two little ‘tambo’ (huts) were built... then it was a bathroom, then a little kitchen, then more and more... the centre is today a place of natural beauty and rustic comfort, where people come to retreat and heal, or simply to reconnect, and it never fails to give..

In the past ten years we have brought groups in,  travelled the world and spent time learning from one other.. we often joke that we are ‘los hermanitos de l alma’, the siblings of the soul, but I believe this is true.. they are the ancient knowledge of magic that humanity has always had, and I am the bridge to connect them to the civilisations that have forgotten.”
