Medizin Retreat

 Working with Ayahuasca for over 17 years. Taking the path of the original shamans, Carmen was called to drink ayahuasca by herself, alone in the jungle… many, many times. As many modern day shamans learn from other shamans and from their tribe, Carmen does not belong nor did she learn from a specific tradition. Instead, she learned from the medicine. She often says, “the plants are my teachers.” This is the way the original shamans learned, and there is something about the way Carmen runs ceremony that reveals her unique style and icaros, that seem so pure and innate from her personal connection to the medicine, that they are untainted by any lineage, but rather arise solely from her presence in the moment as though in constant conversation with the plants themselves. As a mother of five, Carmen embodies the Divine Feminine with style and grace. She offers ceremonies only to those who come to her, without advertising publicly, and those who know her are forever loyal to her teachings. Some beautiful words from Carmen:

“I have faith in this path with the Ancestral Medicines who teach us about Love... and the reality of the functions and systems of life. They allow us to remove the veils of illusion, loneliness, sadness, abandonment, traumas, etc... to see Who We Really Are and why we are in this world. When we have this understanding, we want to do good and be good, as we understand the word Unity from a new perspective…”
