ANCIENT WISDOM of THE SOUL
An Initiatory Path of Remembrance
The Threshold Between Survival and Devotion
There are places on Earth that do not simply exist — they remember.
A land where mountains are spoken to as living intelligences.
Where rivers carry prayers.
Where the veil between worlds becomes exquisitely thin.
Where the body is not separate from spirit, but the very temple through which consciousness awakens.
The sacred land of Peru is often considered the Sacral Chakra of the Earth — the energetic centre of creation, emotion, sensuality, life force, and authentic expression. A place where the soul is invited home ……. Landing into the body. A place that teaches us to move with life rather than against it.
For 14 days, we gather inside this living temple.
Not as tourists.
Not as consumers of another spiritual experience.
But as those standing at the threshold of initiation.
In the ancient traditions of the Shipibo, the land itself is sacred. The Apus — the mountain spirits — are guardians between worlds. Pachamama breathes through every valley, every ceremony, every stone. Peru is not simply a destination; it is a field of ancient remembrance.
And within this landscape, something deeper begins to stir.
The body remembers.
The nervous system settles.
The soul returns.
This initiation is for those already walking paths of consciousness, sacred intimacy, tantra, temple arts, polarity, surrender, devotion, energetic awareness, and deep personal growth.
For those who understand that awakening is not about transcending the body —but entering it fully.
Not escaping life,
but becoming radically alive within it.
This is not curated spirituality.
Not performance.
Not spiritual theatre wrapped in beautiful language.
This is the call to initiation.
An invitation to allow the life you have outgrown to fall away.
To stand between who you have been and who you are becoming.
To enter the fire of transformation consciously, willingly, and with reverence.
The Andes do not seduce you with comfort.
They strip away illusion.
The medicine does not reward masks.
It reveals what sits beneath them.
The temple is not somewhere outside of you waiting to be entered.
The temple is your body when it becomes honest enough to hold truth.
Together, we move through ceremony, prayer, silence, devotion, sacred relating, embodied practice, shadow work, nervous system attunement, ritual, and plant medicine.
You will be introduced to the ancient grandmother of Peruvian plant medicine — born in the heart of the Amazon and guided through the wisdom of the Shipibo lineage — alongside the sacred practice of Kambo.
The Shipibo are guardians of a spiritual tradition cultivated and preserved over thousands of years. Within this lineage, the emotional, spiritual, energetic, and physical realms are understood not as separate, but as one unified field of consciousness. Through sacred song, prayer, plant intelligence, and ceremony, the work becomes both deeply grounding and profoundly transformational.
Plant medicine is approached here not as spectacle or escape, but as sacred intelligence — a living temple that invites us into the inner cathedral of our being. A space where grief softens, identities dissolve, ancestral echoes arise and forgotten parts of the self return home.
Many who sit with the medicine speak not of hallucination, but remembrance.
A remembering that sexuality and spirituality are not separate forces, but twin expressions of life moving through the human experience. That eros can become prayer.
That surrender can become liberation.
That intimacy can become a doorway back to the sacred.
Under the guidance of experienced facilitators, the plants work powerfully — helping to release fear, purify the body, restore harmony to the heart, and reconnect participants to deeper clarity, purpose, and authentic expression. Many arrive carrying emotional wounds, physical exhaustion, spiritual disconnection, or lives shaped by survival patterns.
This path invites a profound recalibration across all these layers.
Initiation asks something of you.
Not perfection.
Not performance.
But the willingness to stop abandoning yourself.
To remain open when every instinct says close.
To meet the shadow without collapsing into it.
To allow the heart to become strong enough to remain undefended.
Over these 14 days, we will sit with fire. Pray with the rivers and mountains.
Listen deeply to what the body has been trying to say beneath years of protection and performance.
Soften enough to hear the soul again.
This is the courageous work of becoming radically alive.
Alive enough to feel.
Alive enough to surrender.
Alive enough to be witnessed without armour.
Alive enough to let spirit move through the body without resistance.
This initiation is open to those who have completed ISTA Level 1, as well as those who feel genuinely called into deeper relationship with these medicines and the initiatory path they offer. Whether you are stepping into this work for the first time or returning after previous journeys, you will be met with care, integrity, and deep respect for the traditions from which these medicines arise.
Held by the intelligence of the plants and the wisdom of Mother Nature, this experience has the potential to become a profound cornerstone — one that continues to nourish and inform the path ahead long after the retreat has ended.
There are moments in life when healing is no longer enough.
The soul asks for rebirth.
This initiation is for those standing at that threshold.
A bridge between worlds.
Between the old self and the emerging self.
Between survival and devotion.
Between disconnection and embodied truth.
Do you hear the calling.
Not loudly.
But unmistakably.
Somewhere deep within your body,
you already know why.

Adela Sampayo Vásquez
Ronin Wesna
My name is Adela Sampayo Vásquez, and my Shipibo name is Ronin Wesna (meaning mother and guardian of the rivers, protector of nature).
I was born in the native community of San Rafael.
My interest in traditional medicine began at a very young age. My own name reinforces my beliefs: love for others, for nature, and for life itself. My ancestors were great teachers, and their ancestral knowledge was passed down from generation to generation. Now I share it with you.
I was motivated to become a traditional medicine teacher by wanting to share my knowledge through medicinal plants, in this case, Ayahuasca, and thus be able to help and guide spiritually through the ikaros (ceremonies) those who have lost their way on this path, or those who have lost their purpose in life.
Ayahuasca shows us the path to light, self-love, respect, and resilience. The universe speaks to us, but we don't want to listen. The world is full of wonders, but we can't see them because we're blindfolded. Ayahuasca helps remove that blindfold so we can appreciate the beauty of life, animals, and plants, guiding us toward a better future.
Thank you very much.
Ichabires irake.
YOUR GUIDES
Sylvie carries a deep reverence for the relationships we can cultivate with nature — both within ourselves and with the living world around us — when we choose to live in balance and harmony with the Earth.
For the past sixteen years, she has travelled extensively, working alongside indigenous communities and learning directly from traditional cultures rooted in simplicity, reciprocity, and deep listening. These experiences have shaped her understanding of healing as a multidimensional process that honours the physical, emotional, spiritual, and ecological aspects of life. Pucallpa, in the Peruvian Amazon, has become her home and primary place of study and service.
Sylvie’s background includes formal studies in herbalism across North America, Europe, and South America, as well as extensive experience in structural bodywork and human movement pattern studies. She has undertaken many years of Master Plant Dietas and spent over a decade in direct apprenticeship with the Shipibo people of the Ucayali region, learning their medicinal and ceremonial traditions through lived experience.
In addition, Sylvie has dedicated more than four years to the study of Kambo Frog Medicine, with over six years of active practice, and brings a decades of experience guiding and supporting others on their inward journey with these powerful teachers. Her work is rooted in humility, respect for lineage, and a deep trust in the intelligence of nature to guide each individual toward their own truth and healing.

Romina Lilley
Romina is a shamanic sexual healer, deeply rooted in the sacred wisdom of the Temple Arts. Her journey with ISTA, Highden Temple and Plant medicine work has taken her on a winding road through many places of deep transformation.
With over 16 years of experience as a massage therapist, she trusts the intuitive touch, deep sacred listening to the wisdom of the body, and the ability to hold a safe and transformative space for others as they embark on their healing journeys. She’s had the honor of guiding women through profound journeys with plant medicine and sacred sexuality in the heart of the Peruvian jungle as well as facilitating couples workshops at festivals all over Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Her path has also led her through a two-year apprenticeship with Lasavia Healing, a shamanic practice that works with the medicine sphere in co-creative circles. This practice has awakened within her a deeper understanding of the naturalness of our spirituality and the importance of presence, observation, and awareness.
She believes the body is a divine vessel, holding the keys to ancient wisdom, intuition, and wholeness. Her journey is one of unlocking the sacred mysteries within, guiding others to align with their true essence and live a more embodied life.
Jason Lilley
A few years ago, I found myself in what many would call a good life.
A loving marriage, two amazing children, steady work, and a home that provided for my families needs.
And also growing feelings of being trapped and disconnected which I could no longer suppress or distracted myself from.
Eventually I reached a point where I realised that I had given up on something essential within me, and that I had no clue what that something was.
What emerged from that breaking open was a search for freedom. Not freedom from responsibility, but a deeper freedom, a freedom from my sense of self.
Through deep listening in group circles, and through my own inner inquiry I began to feel space between love and the fear within me.
And through sitting in ayahuasca ceremonies in Los Cielos Peru, I encountered both my resistance to the current of life, and the profound intelligence that moves beneath it.
Yet no matter which path through life’s mysteries I follow, I always arrive at the same realisation.
That how free I feel is how surrendered to love I am. And there I break open again.
Tony Thorn
Tony’s work exists within the relational field — exploring the unseen, the unknown, and the parts of ourselves still waiting to be remembered. His approach weaves together embodied therapeutic practice, sacred intimacy, ritual, ceremony, consciousness work, and deep inquiry into what it means to be fully alive. This path has been profoundly shaped through more than 14 years immersed in the worlds of ISTA, Highden Temple, initiatory practices, and plant medicine traditions.
He is a Sacred Intimacy and Embodiment Practitioner, trained Hakomi Somatic Practitioner, Romi Romi bodyworker (Indigenous Māori bodywork) and trauma-informed peer support guide for male survivors of sexual harm. His work bridges the worlds of somatics, nervous system awareness, sacred sexuality, relational healing, and spiritual embodiment — bringing together grounded therapeutic approaches with the deeper mysteries of human consciousness.
Tony’s work is born from both lived experience and professionally informed, trauma-aware practice. Having walked deeply through his own initiatory and healing journey, he now walks beside others — creating spaces where pain can be transformed into wisdom, where the nervous system can soften out of survival, and where the body becomes a doorway back to self, truth, and belonging.
At the heart of his work is a deep reverence for soul embodiment — the soul fully expressed through the human experience. Together, the journey moves beyond intellectual understanding and into the language of breath, sensation, presence, vulnerability, intimacy, and deep inner knowing. Through mindfulness, bodywork, ritual, ceremony, meditation, sacred relating, embodiment practices, and conscious touch, participants are invited into spaces where the mind softens, the heart opens, and the body remembers its innate wholeness.
His approach is deeply relational, experiential, and rooted in the understanding that healing does not happen through insight alone, but through safe connection, presence, attunement, and embodied experience. Drawing from both ancient wisdom traditions and modern somatic approaches, Tony supports others in meeting the places within themselves that long to be witnessed, reclaimed, and brought back into relationship with life.
At its core, this work is not simply about healing wounds — it is about awakening. Remembering who we are beneath the layers of conditioning, protection, shame, and survival. It is about reclaiming intimacy with ourselves, with others, and with life itself. It is an invitation into deeper authenticity, embodied freedom, emotional truth, sacred connection, and the courageous work of becoming radically alive.
