The soul of this retreat is held within two La Luz ceremonies, guided by leading ceremony Shipibo Shaman and Michael as supporting, who serves as an intuitive conduit for the medicine and the ceremonial space.

The medicine is a Yagé brew, creating a balanced, full-spectrum preparation. This blend is traditionally known for supporting extra depth, clarity, and a sense of connection within the ceremonial journey.

The brew is prepared in the Peruvian Amazon, using plants gathered fresh from the land. It is crafted with prayer, fasting, and intention with a shamans hands, honoring the lineage and spirit of the medicine. This care is carried into the ceremony itself, creating a container where participants may gently release emotional weight, reflect on formative life experiences, and reconnect with deeper aspects of themselves.

Each ceremony is approached with humility and respect, allowing insight, healing, and clarity to arise naturally, in whatever way is right for each individual.

After you sign up, you will receive a phone call from us shortly. We take the preparation process seriously and personally pre-screen every participant to ensure safety and readiness. During this call, we’ll discuss your health history, answer any questions, and guide you through the required paperwork. Our intention is to make sure you feel informed, supported, and truly prepared before sitting with La Luz.

You will be given 2 bottles to take home with you to keep your vibration high and aura shielded as you rotate back into the world and day to day life. We will also have Google meet calls online for integration help.

Maestro Shinan Shama (Breath of Consciousness) is a Shipibo-Konibo curandero from the Ucayali region of the Peruvian Amazon, an area long recognized as a living stronghold of the Shipibo healing lineage.

The Ucayali Shipibo tradition is known for its energetic precision and the profound use of icaros — sacred songs that function not only as prayer, but as spiritual architecture. Within this lineage, illness is understood as energetic distortion, and the icaros are woven as vibrational patterns that cleanse, tune, and realign the spiritual body.

Training in this tradition is shaped through disciplined plant dietas, extended periods of solitude in the forest, and years of apprenticeship under elder maestros. The work is clean, structured, and deeply diagnostic in its approach — emphasizing purification, alignment, and integration rather than spectacle or instant transformation.

Shinan Shama was raised within this current and carries forward the quiet strength of his lineage with humility and clarity. His guidance reflects the hallmarks of the Ucayali path: precision in energetic work, reverence for the plants, and a strong emphasis on responsibility and integration after ceremony.

Michael, also known as Jakon Nete in the Shipibo tradition, is a long-time herbalist, dietero, and ceremonial space holder with over 17 years of lived relationship with plant intelligence.

His way of working is subtle and attentive. He listens closely to the energy of the room, moving gently where softness is needed and offering steady strength when grounding or recalibration is required. Rather than directing an experience, Michael focuses on holding a clean, supportive field where participants can release what no longer serves them, surrender into the process, and realign with their own inner rhythm.

His work is shaped not only by years of study and dieta, but by humility, patience, and respect for the plants and the people who come to sit with them. Each ceremony is approached as a shared moment of responsibility, care, and presence.

The retreat is held within a 40-year-old fruit orchard in the Tampa Bay area, surrounded by mature mango and banana trees that create a quiet, nourishing atmosphere.

The land rests beside a natural aquifer-fed lake, sustained by fresh water drawn from a 400-foot well. This setting offers a sense of purity, stillness, and connection to the elements, providing a calm, grounded environment that supports rest, reflection, and presence throughout the gathering.
