Ancestral PlantMedicine Ceremony

A traditional or ancestral ceremony provides integral healing: it is a sacred space where all the resources, arts and knowledge of ancestral medicines are applied. Plant medicine, prayers, songs and aromas, the guiding song and the vibrations of traditional instruments, all these intensify the experience by sharpening the senses. The purpose is to find the balance between the internal and external, the Love and harmony between the physical, mental and spiritual body and the awareness of self-healing power. A purification and cleansing usually takes place during these nighttime ceremonies, to awaken consciousness and vision, through sometimes a bit of discomfort, to open up to the heart and to re-connect to the forces of our natural origin. It´s a sacred celebration of Life and Spirit.

The therapeutical and ancestral use of plants intensify our experience and refine our senses and awareness. It is performed under experienced conditions that legitimize and make the experience rewarding, deepening to expand our health and Spirit. Led by a traditional healer a Sacred Medicine Ceremony begins with a purpose for which it is being performed and continues with the medicines for all participants, starting with Tsaank, (traditional mapacho amazonian tobacco juice) to clean our nasal ways and open our spirit to receive the power of the plants. Next is the serving of the Sacred Brew followed by a time of silence of speech and silence at a physical level: meditation. The following space is one of activating the senses and to celebrate and experience the process of healing through song and sound.
