The Healers
Maestro Hernan Fernandez Romaina
Maestro Hernan is a Shipibo Healer with 30 years of experience with the Medicine. In the jungle Maestro Hernan is known as the Maestro of the Maestros, which means he has trained many Shipibo Shamans, in their path with the medicine.
Maestro Hernan comes from a long line of healers and first drank the Medicine when he was 8 years old, began his first Dieta to become a Maestro at the age of 14 through working with his Grandfather Jose Romaina Bardales. Learning from his Grandfather Maestro Hernan has dedicated his life to the service of the plants and is committed to fully sharing the medicine with all who sit in ceremony or Diet with him.
After his grandfather passed, Maestro Hernan has had two other key teachers and has worked in multiple Ayahuasca healing centers in Iquitos, Pucallpa and Tarapoto which has grown Maestro Hernan into the powerful teacher he is today.
Maestro Hernan is a powerful healer and holds and encyclopedic knowledge of the sacred plants of the jungle pharmacy which has been passed down to him traditionally, through oral transmission and through the energetic transmission of wisdom held within the Master Plant Dietas. Maestro Hernan sits with 35 dieted plants and to sit in ceremony with him is a humbling and deeply healing experience.
Rachel Panshin Pena Tantamunay
Rachel has served as the Coordinator for 2 Shipibo Led and Owned Ayahuasca Retreat Centres in the Amazon Jungle, preparing hundreds of participants for their Journey with Ayahuasca and supporting their integration. In ceremony Rachel is an experienced Trauma Informed and Shipibo Trained facilitator and continues to apprentice in the Ayahuasca Medicine path with her teacher Maestro Hernan. Rachel trained at Aya Healing Retreats as a Somatic Plant Medicine Integration Practitioner and is deeply committed to the preservation of the cultural heritage of the Shipibo-Konibo where she has projects in many Shipibo communities along the Ucayali River that support Shipibo Women to stay sustainably upon their ancestral lands.

Individual Personalized Preparation, Treatments and Healing
Following the completion of a Retreat Registration you will be invited to join Rachel Tantamunay in a Heart Sharing Circle.
Within the Heart Sharing Circle we shall explore with you more deeply your call to Ayahuasca at this time and share with you how to prepare your body, mind and soul for an Ayahuasca Journey with a Shipibo Shaman. We also make space for any questions you have and where needed will connect you to Maestro Hernan.
Ceremony One: An Ayahuasca Ceremony from Distance
Before a Shipibo Shaman offers any treatment, they will first assess your energetic body, your heart, your mind, your body, your emotions, your soul and your spirit.
All participants will firstly be assessed by Maestro Hernan in a distanced ceremony to be sure they are safe to drink Ayahuasca and for the Maestro to assess what plant treatments are needed for your healing journey.
Plant Treatments are an integral part of the Ayahuasca healing journey and can be Vomitivos (purgative Plant treatment), Plant teas, Plant Saunas, Plant Baths or a period of time in a Plant Dieta treatment (where plants are dieted for curative reasons ).
All participants will be given the date and time of the distanced Ayahuasca Ceremony and an invitation to meditate during the ceremony, to begin the collective healing journey together as one.
After consultation with the Plant Spirits in the distanced ceremony, Maestro Hernan will gather the plants needed for the treatment of each participant and bring them to the retreat centre.

Ceremony Two: A Traditional Shipibo Ceremony
Traditionally for many Shipibo -Konibo tribespeople seeking healing, it was customary for the Maestro (Shaman) to drink Ayahuasca whilst the tribesperson sat or slept in the maloca. The following day the Maestro would bring back information from the Plant world and share what was seen in the visions, this may be information about their life or what plant treatments were needed for the healing of the patient.
The first ceremony of the retreat will be held in this traditional way and only the Maestros will drink Ayahuasca.
This offers the participant an opportunity to become familiar with the Shamanic rituals of an Ayahuasca Ceremony before drinking Ayahuasca which supports the sense of safety and familiarity, before drinking Medicine, which for many is the first time.
A Journey with Ayahuasca calls for a lot of trust and beginning this way is a wonderful opportunity to receive the Medicine Icaros sung by the Shaman and hear insights from the Plant world the following day.
4 Ayahuasca Ceremonies and Plant Treatments Unique to You
Every participant will have a personalized plant treatment plan that will be explained to you the day following the Traditional Ayahuasca Ceremony. (Ceremony 2)
During the retreat all participants will sit in 4 Ayahuasca Ceremonies in which they drink Ayahuasca, the final ceremony is called Arkarnacion.
Each Ayahuasca ceremony is supported by our Bilingual, Shipibo Trained, Trauma Informed Facilitation team
Following Each Ayahuasca Ceremony there is an Integration Circle with Indigenous Presence.

During the final week all participants will have individual and group Somatic Plant Medicine Integration sessions in which Shipibo Maestro Hernan will be present to offer Shamanic Wisdom to help you deeply integrate you Ayahuasca Experience.
