Sanango is a Peruvian healer, shaman and spiritual teacher, who through his life and work embodies a state of deep insight and compassion. Over the past twenty five years he has conducted thousands of plant medicines ceremonies and many shamanic diets and treatments. He is dedicated to facilitate humanity in the awakening of consciousness, including healing states of depression, anxiety and addiction.
He works with entheogens, master plants and eastern consciousness techniques aiming to bring the individual to a direct encounter with her inner Universe, the love of God and the reconnection with the Earth.
Arjuna has been learning from Sanango and facilitating retreats at Sinchi Runa during the last seven years. He has gone through various shamanic diets and spent a lot of time in solitude and communion with Ayahuasca and other master plants in the Peruvian Rainforest. Before this he practiced meditation and self-enquiry for many years, while he explored ways to awaken creativity and live in harmony with the joyous flow of life.
With deep understanding, warmth and kindness he serves each one coming to the retreats. He assists Sanango in the Ayahuasca Ceremonies and Purges and facilitates these processes, caring for the physical and psychological safety and wellbeing of each one present.
“It is an honor to serve and care for a space where this inward journey takes place. It is immensely deeper than I could have ever imagined and I continue to find myself here, diving deeper into my understanding of life, love and service.”
– Arjuna
Ananda helps to facilitate retreats at Sinchi Runa, while studying under the guidance of Maestro Sanango and the master plants. He has spent many months in silence and solitude, dieting a variety of master plants and communing with Ayahuasca and the plant world, before beginning to assist on retreats. With a caring and calm presence, Ananda helps to hold space for the process of all who come for healing.
Prior to Sinchi Runa, Ananda spent many years practicing meditation, attending and serving on silent retreats, and eventually maturing his practice to begin sharing what he has learned on his journey. He continues to make use of this to help guide participants in their processes and encounters with the master plants.
“Ayahuasca continues to help me discover what I am and let go what I thought I was. She helps me to remember my nature of Love, an eternal existence beyond all ideas or thoughts of my mind. She has shown me the compassion and love that exists in the heart of humanity, and a hope for what humanity could become in remembering and embracing it’s heart. She helps me to see me my own suffering, to heal and to let go, and teaches me to recognise that same suffering, and the same heart, in everyone and everything around me. I am so honoured and so very humbled to be able to play my small role in serving this sacred medicine, and to share that which has made such a difference to my own healing and life.”
– Ananda
Madhava is an intuitive healer, kambo facilitator, certified transformational coach and compassionate communication-, hatha yoga- and meditation teacher.
For the past twelve years she has lived, learned and served at Sinchi Runa. The first three years she spent mostly in solitude and plant “dietas” without communication with the outer world. She spoke with mother Ayahuasca, the forest, the elements, the spirits of the plants and the Earth mother. She ventured through divine realms and descended to heal and revive what’s been repressed and forgotten in shadow worlds within her. Gradually, she came to accompany others as a healer and facilitator in medicine circles and kambo ceremonies, as well as offering therapeutic spiritual companionship.
Madhava is dedicated to facilitating the safe and therapeutic integration of the healing and wisdom received through the work with Ayahuasca. She accompanies and offers gentle yet powerful spaces for processing and healing inner pain and wounds and for integrating and taking action on the realization and wisdom received.
“I have felt the pain and cry of the Earth and I have cried with her. I have seen the deep inherent goodness and greatness of humanity and been filled with hope. I have felt our eternal nature of pure divine love and our human nature as gardeners and caretakers of the field of our minds, hearts and of this beautiful Earth. I have danced with fairies in moonlit forests and I have ventured into the dark and hidden parts of my being, learning to hold pain with greater compassion and recover the purity and innocence of the heart. I have fallen in love with existence in all its nuances. Ayahuasca opened my eyes, my soul, my being and has given me the opportunity to hold space for others to journey with her. I've witnessed the incredible healing power of this medicine and cannot express in words how meaningful this is to me, but facilitating these processes filles me with gratitude. Through this work, I see so many people rediscover their own undoubtable truth and beauty. I see people communicate with the Universe while their suffering transforms into great wisdom.”

Shaman and Healer
“Each plant, gemstone, perfume or essence that I use has come by speaking to me; as every mantra or icaro and each teacher with their own truth and darkness. I cannot define who I am with words, but I am inviting master plants, healing with my hands, giving perfumes and scents, love, comfort, trust and information from the universe through the wisdom that I can channel.
I can speak with some worlds and some other worldly beings. I can see the “disease” and remove it. I can see the chaos of suffering and fear expressed as the illusion we call hell and parasites or creatures that infest us. I feel the universe as light, vibration, and as an expression of the will of God; which is love, compassion and truth.”
