Discover the healing power of plant medicine.
WE WORK WITH THE ENERGY OF THESE FOUR PLANT ALLIES IN NOT ONLY OUR CEREMONIAL SPACE BUT ALSO OUR DAILY LIVES. THEY HELP SHAPE AND GUIDE THE WORK THAT WE DO AND ARE THE PRIMARY MEDICINES WE CARRY.
Plant Medicines
MASTER PLANT, TEACHER, SOUL CONNECTOR
Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca is a drink made by brewing two plants, one is the ayahuasca vine (banisteriopsis caapi) the other is the Chacruna leaf (psychotria viridis). The two work symbiotically to bring in the medicinal effects of the Ayahuasca brew.
This medicinal experience will often include visions and communications from the plants and can sometimes be very intense. This is why Ayahuasca is normally taken within the ceremonial container where due care and guidance can be given.
Every experience is different and there is no possibility of predictability with this plant. We honour its power and have spent many years building a trusting relationship, learning how to guide with this medicine.
MASTER PLANT, TEACHER, TREE OF LIGHT
Noya Rao
The tree of Noya Rao, also known as Palo Valiador or the tree of light has been described as God’s tree or second only to God. There are only a handful of these trees in existence and their whereabouts are closely guarded by the Shipibo people who are deeply connected to the tree.
As the leaves fall to the ground they light up with a bioluminescence hence as the name suggests. The majesty of this tree is hard to put into words and we do not presume to understand her power or ways. All we know for sure is that she is a force for truth and goodness with uncompromising standards.
Although we do not offer Noya Rao during retreats, she is a guiding force for our work and in our lives. It is a great responsibility and honour to have her presence in our ceremonies. Noya Rao sets a standard of impeccability that we work towards and we continue our studies with this tree and its lineage.
MASTER PLANT, TEACHER, HEART OPENER & STRENGTHENER
Bobinsana
Known as ‘sirenita’ the little mermaid and a close ally of Noya Rao, the Bobinsana tree is unwavering in her guidance on self love. She is an ardent shadow worker willing to plumb the depths of our unconscious and bring forth the unseen menaces that block our connections and flows.
Beautiful in many ways, her bright pink flowers always stand out in a crowd. On a physical level it can relieve arthritis, rheumatism, musculoskeletal pains, edema/oedema, and uterine disorders. We frequently work with her powerful energy in ceremony.
MASTER PLANT, TEACHER, PERCEPTION SHIFTER
Indricana
This is the name we use for the Cannabis plant, given to us by the Cannabis plant. We have a deep reverence for Indricana and stand ready to support this plant on its journey from recreational use and abuse into a more healing and ceremonial capacity. We have been blown away by this plant's depth and healing qualities over the years and currently we are exploring avenues to bring her to people in a healing modality.
