The
legendary ancient holistic medicine Ayahuasca, mapacho (sacred
tobacco), agua de florida (flower water), camalonga and schacapas
(magical aural cleaners) are fundamental elements in the classic Ayahuasca
cleansing ceremony of the Peruvian Amazon. Each has an important role in
the holistic spiritual healing process. Each of these elements are an important
part of the holistic healing processes realized through curanderismo,
the ancient healing arts of the western Amazon.
In Ayahuasca SpiritQuest we undertake La Limpieza, the classical Ayahuasca cleansing and healing process involving commitment to a prescribed diet and participation in at least three Ayahuasca ceremonies conducted by maestro curanderos skilled through decades of of impeccable integrity. |

| Thecuranderos
summon healing and benevolent spirits with enchanting icaros
and mariris sung in ancient jungle Quechua, Castilian Spanish and
forgotten indigenous tongues. These magical healing songs guide the visionary
shamanic journey in a most extraordinary way.
The ethereal melodies open the acoustical windows to the Spirit World around us, allowing reception of healing and knowledge through spiritual communion. |

Our
Ayahuasca medicine tea is prepared in the old traditional manner over a
wood fire, brewed with freshly cut mature ayahuasca (Banisteriopsis
caapi), rainforest-fresh chacruna (Psychotria viridis or P.
carthagenensis) and oco yagé (Diplopterys cabrerana)
cultivated by indigenous stewards of the Amazon's magical medicines.
Their masterful brewing technique produces incredibly powerful and visionary Ayahuasca of the highest quality available anywhere. For initiatory cleansing, we work with pure Ayahuasca containing no other admixture plants. <--- Don Rober carefully pours off the "first water" as he prepares the sacred Ayahuasca medicine at the beginning of a SpiritQuest retreat. |

Doña Mari administers agua de florida as both protection and an attraction to healing spirits at the beginning of a SpiritQuest ayahuasca ceremony. Visionary healing revelations received by the curanderos in the ceremonies produce a diagnosis and prescription of plant medicines appropriate for the needs of each patient. The patient then decides whether to pursue the prescribed treatment. |

The
morning after each ceremony, hermana Mari bestows revitalizing ceremonial
flower baths as a vital aspect of the cleansing process.
The flower baths are incredibly stimulating and a perfect complement to the deeply-personal challenges and revelations of the night before. You will delight in wearing your jungle flower fragrances throughout the day. Flower baths, icaros, sacred tobacco blessings, and jungle herbal saunas are all integral to the shamanic healing and cleansing processes.. You will realize these and many more dimensions of traditional Amazonian shamanism in your SpiritQuest. |
