Salud con Todos!
We are grateful to once again be able to act as a bridge for a small group of people to journey into the depths of the vegetalista tradition in the Peruvian
Amazon at Mayantuyacu with the maestro curandero Juan Flores. Of Ashaninka descent and with over 40 years of experience as a healer, Juan founded this
center for traditional healing and learning deep in the forest. We have been working with him for eight years and his work and being are not only dear to us but we have witnessed and experienced in ourselves his effectiveness, impeccability, and deep knowledge.
As two participants in our last pilgrimage wrote,
Journeying to Mayantuyacu with Robert Tindall was a blessing for me that was greater than I can put into words. My experience in this heavenly sanctuary in the rainforest of Peru transformed me to the core. I returned home a new man, plain and simple. What’s more, the experience was very different than I had imagined it before going. I had thought it would take me to places in myself that, perhaps, I wouldn’t be able to handle. But, quite to the contrary, the moment I arrived in Lima, I began feeling a deep sense of relaxation, peace, and homecoming. Arriving at Mayantuyacu, my heart began to open, immediately, and I felt a quality of love and care that permeated the whole landscape and each and every person who lived and worked there. Finally, the healing that I received left me feeling more integrated, conscious, and grounded in myself, in my purpose as a human being, and in my confidence and ability to engage my life and work with more passion, conviction, and heart-centered focus and practical awareness. Said another way, Juan Flores and his apprentices offered me the most masterful and graceful healing that I have ever received in my life. And, Robert Tindall’s support and facilitation of my process, with his sensitivity and awareness, demonstrates the depth of his understanding of the process of engaging this powerful medicine work. My 12-day stay at Mayantuyacu was nothing less than life-changing. I plan to return next summer, and the summer after that, and the summer after that….Mayantuyacu is now part of me and I am part of Mayantuyacu. Thank you for everything, Robert!
My first morning at Mayantuyacu, surrounded the sights, sounds, and smells of the jungle, I knew that my decision to embark on that first journey was a good one. So much so that I returned again the following year and plan to do the same in 2012.
I remember Juan telling us that Mayantuyacu was our home while we were there and it certainly began to feel that way. The people that live and work there are so kind, happy, and generous. There is a beautiful flow and synchronicity to everything that happens. It is the perfect place to awaken to the beauty that is life on this planet. Robert is an easy-going leader that’s always there when you need him, yet allows ample time for you to explore on your own. I have great admiration for the profound love and respect that Susana and Robert have for the medicine. They have both been wonderful mentors to me as I find my way.
Hope to see you there!
This journey, led by both Robert and Susana, will start in Lima July 25th and will conclude in that city after spending 12 days at Mayantuyacu on August 8th.
We take care of airfares and taxes Lima-Pucallpa-Lima, lodging in Lima and Pucallpa, transportation to and from Mayantuyacu, food, lodging and plant work at the center, as well as coaching and translating before, during and after the experience. Please write for the cost of the journey. If you plan on joining this expedition, please reserve your space asap so we can begin making reservations and purchasing tickets!
We will follow a flexible itinerary of personal interviews with the healer, classes, purges, diets, plant baths, hikes in the jungle and healing ceremonies, sensitive to the rhythm that develops at Mayantuyacu on its own. Individuals seeking treatment for specific ailments need to communicate with us so that a special regime of treatment can be arranged with the Master in advance.
If you live in the Bay Area, we will have two meetings in order to prepare us as individuals and as a group to the work. For those living in other areas, we will schedule meetings over skype.
We are excited to share this world that is so precious to us, an opportunity for immersion in the jungle, its cosmology, and its ancient healing traditions.
Please contact Robert for more information at tigrillo@gmail.com. This is an open invitation, so feel free to post it or share it with friends.
In love, to all our relations!
Robert and Susana
