A cared-for space,
above all
Before any ceremony or retreat, we talk with you about your health and what you need to prepare. This page summarizes how we do that, and the cultural and legal framework that supports work with ancestral medicine in Colombia.
How we prepare together
A conversation beforehand
Before confirming your booking, we talk about your physical and emotional health, current medication, and any relevant condition.
Small groups
Spots are deliberately limited, so we can closely accompany each person throughout the whole process.
Guidance throughout
Every ceremony and practice is guided by the family’s taitas and knowledge-keepers, within the framework of their tradition.
Integration afterward
The talking circles at the close of each day allow you to process and share what was lived before returning home.
