Welcome to SpiritQuest

THE PREMIER TRADITIONAL AYAHUASCA AND HUACHUMA
HEALING CENTER IN PERU SINCE 1995
LATEST NEWS
We at SpiritQuest want to thank everyone for their condolences and well-wishes, since the passing of our Maestro Don Howard in October of 2019.
We appreciate your friendship and input even more, given the difficult times the Covid Pandemic has brought to all our sisters, brothers and friends around the world. During these times, we’ve kept ourselves busy making some changes and repairs to the Sanctuary and most importantly been lending needed financial and spiritual support to the nearby indigenous communities.
In 2022, we will continue to offer the same 3 ceremonial retreats that Don Howard himself developed, now overseen by Maestra Selva Lawler. These include:
1 - The traditional “Ayahuasca, Listening To The Plants Shamanic Retreat” guided, lead, and sung by the same shamans... Don Rober, Doña Eliana and Don Carlos, executed in the SpiritQuest style.
2 - “Initiation of the three shamanic worlds of the Huachuma Mesadas”, guided by Selva Lawler, following Don Howard’s traditional way, yet with Selva’s personal approach and energy.
3 - “Plant Dieta Retreat”. Working together with our shamans Don Rober, Doña Eliana and Don Carlos, ceremonies according to the Plant Medicine of your preference, such as Chiricsango, Ajo sacha, Bobinzana, Camalonga, and others.
Please note the new contact email for SpiritQuest is: selva.lawler@gmail.com
Feel free to contact Selva directly at that address for information about forthcoming retreats, news about SpiritQuest, information on Don Howard’s teachings.... or just to check-in and say “Hello”.

Our invitation is to you, if you feel a calling to our work.
“The spirit of Chavín is alive and well at SpiritQuest. The traditions and rituals that created an awakening of consciousness have been carefully curated and preserved by the Maestros and Maestras of this beautiful place.
When we first arrived and I heard, "Welcome Home!", I did not understand at the time how right he was. If home is where the heart is, then SpiritQuest is home. Because it was at SpiritQuest that I found the path back to my heart. Don Howard wasn't there in his physical form, but he was definitely there in Spirit. From every ceremony, Icaro, and blessing, Don Howard's presence was felt. But probably most of all, Don Howard was present at the Sanctuary through his daughter, Selva. Being a part of Selva's first Huachuma ceremony was something I will never forget. This young woman held court and guided us through a lifetime that day. It was perfect, and she was perfect.
Don Howard can rest easy knowing that the work he dedicated his life to is in the most capable of hands with Selva, Don Rober, Doña Eliana, and Don Carlos."
