“During an Ayahuasca ceremony we can perceive the frailty and brevity of human life and the eternity of our consciousness or soul. We face the transcendence and escape from the prison of our senses. We recover our interdimensional nature and thus we become what humanity really is, a universal consciousness.”
Maestro Sanango

Our Vision

At Sinchi Runa, we feel that all healing comes from understanding, from the resolution of our inner conflicts in an encounter with truth and our awakening.

For this, we need sincerity in our search, a willingness to truly see ourselves in our light and shadow beyond our conditioning, beliefs and mental paradigms.

The search for silence is our greatest tool on this inner journey and introspection with master plants. In the nakedness of silence, we are given the opportunity to truly face ourselves, to feel our hearts and the inner master speaking, while allowing the plants to teach and guide us.

With the wisdom of the Amazonian traditions and the invaluable teachings of Vedic philosophy, we try to serve this search for truth through silence and an authentic path of awakening with Ayahuasca and Master Plants – a path of healing through understanding and thereby seeking to open the heart and awaken the nature of love and compassion that resides in each of us.

Deep Immersion

A deep immersion retreat is an adventure in wonderment, into the heart of self-knowledge. Not only does it lead us to heal but it allows us to go even further into the exploration of who we really are.

True Healing

Addiction and trauma require more than external remedies—they call for deep personal transformation. Master Plants aid in this journey, but true healing comes from understanding and confronting the roots of our suffering, leading to inner rebirth.

Awakening the Inner Master

Sinchi Runa is a word in Quechua that means “Warrior of light”. For us, true healing means awakening the master that resides within each individual. Awakening the inner master and intelligence allows us to reach the source of all healing. Once this inner source is found, we become the masters of our own existence, capable of meeting each challenge with wisdom, grace and ease. In this way one will be able to integrate one’s understanding and continue the journey after leaving Sinchi Runa, while we remain available and ready to help with any post-process integration and growth.

READ ABOUT THE EXPERIENCES AT SINCHI RUNA

At Sinchi Runa I found a home within my center, but it is also the physical place where I have felt the most at home, I found extended family and I found a way of loving absolutely unconditionally, with every cell of my body and every pore of my skin. I am in awe of everything you have showed me and taught me, I am moved to tears every time I think of you and all the love, wisdom and compassion you are and that you share with the world and its people.

These 3 months at Sinchi Runa fundamentally changed my life. I came to heal from years of chronic physical pain and the after-effects of childhood trauma. Through the process, I was able to understand how my physical and emotional symptoms were connected and the work needed to let go of both. In the end, this was my most important realization: It is the opening of my heart, the feeling and the compassion that heals me and makes my life so much richer.

I feel such bliss and peace within, and have found complete trust in the Universe. I can rest back into this trust completely and I am eternally grateful for such a depth of healing. That this change can come aobut in such a short time feels like a miracle and is a testament to the incredible work happening at Sinchi Runa.

The people who work at Sinchi Runa are in service to this mission and the love, care and attention that you feel from them is very special. Any experience we are having in life, is a reflection of where we are at and what we need to learn. This was such a beautiful (and funny) lesson I got from my retreat that the plants helped me understand (with Maestro Sanango’s support). After truly understanding this, everything started to shift for me. I am not the same after my experience …. And the transformations and deepening keep coming, months after my retreat ended. I am deeply grateful. Thank you Sinchi Runa!

I recently ended a 3 month stay at Sinchi Runa. I don’t know how to sum up all that was learned, understood, let go of, and more, in writing. This has been the most challenging chapter of my life, and without a doubt the most rewarding. I developed an understanding around deep life questions: what is pride, humility, compassion, and gratitude, in what conditions do these arise… An understanding of who I am, and why I behave the way I behave, and what am I doing in the human experience. It was a learning of how to come out of my suffering, my understanding arose from my coming out of my own suffering… It was very draining, very emotional and very rewarding.

For me it feels it’s a privilege and a great stroke of luck to have come by Sinchi Runa and to work with Maestro Sanango.”

Coming out of my 4th Master Plant ‘Dieta’ here at Sinchi Runa is beyond words. In this final dieta with the master plant Bobinsana, I finally touched how much I missed loving myself. I realised I never really loved the full of what I am. In the ceremony with the plant, I was truly open, my heart, to the most difficult love which is self love. I’m leaving with such a trust, in myself and I could see clear, forgive myself for what happened, and forgive the others. I trust that I’m taken care of, by myself and by the universe. It changed my life. That’s it. I am beyond grateful to everyone at Sinchi Runa that is dedicating to bring this sacred medicine in a safe way but very authentic, pure, and in respect to the spirit and tradition of the plant.

This process ultimately was me stepping into my heart and listening to my heart. All those questions I was pondering came down to this heart space and understanding myself. I discovered what it is like to be a sovereign human being. The place I am in now is beautiful. I feel so sensitive to who I am, I feel so connected and with reverence for my body. Sinchi Runa has done so much for my discovery of my truth and who I am. This place has taught me nourishment, stillness and slowness, and that is what I want to cultivate.”
