THE RETURN OF THE JAGUAR SPIRIT
A 10 day medicine retreat in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon
Tobacco - prepare, cleanse, release align, protect, resolve
Rose - intimacy, forgiveness, compassion, grace, unconditional love, divinity
Grandmother - perspective, vision, recalibration, healing, transformation, surrender
Huachuma - strength, clarity, animal instinct, empowerment, intuition integration
The Jaguar spirit teaches you how to discover your hidden inner strength while encouraging you to embrace change without fear. They are a fierce warrior, often depicted in the feminine form of a Goddess who teaches us integrity, and how to leap gracefully from moment to moment or life to life.
Jaguar spirit is a gatekeeper to the mystical and ways of awakening your soul to its real purpose and power. If she’s calling you - you will feel it. She will purrr to you in the darkness, she will invite you into her mystery.
And when you hear her calling, you must go
For this potent 10 day journey, you are invited to reconnect with your untameable, wild nature as we enter into the deep mystery of the Amazon Rainforest, a place where the earth speaks, and the soul listens.
This journey is intended to be an initiation, calling upon the great Jaguar spirit to walk with you, so that you may develop the strength of spirit required to propel you gracefully through life’s challenges.
Just as the snake sheds its skin as it goes through natural processes of renewal, you too, will move through various stages of cleansing, shedding and preparation, aligning your physical body, mind and spirit to move beyond the threshold that keeps you comfortable, stuck and small.
The Medicines
You will meet with the protective and cleansing medicine of Tobacco, the compassionate heart healing medicine of the Rose, the visionary medicine of the Grandmother and the wise medicine of Huachuma. As you weave with these sacred plants, you will recalibrate through the deepest levels of your being, creating balance and harmony on a cellular level, supported by two feminine and two masculine medicines, representative of the Mother, Father, Grandmother and Grandfather - creating a precious and rare opportunity to rebirth into sacred remembrance, as purified children of the Earth.
The Process
Within an intimately and integrally held container, with plenty of spaciousness for integration, connecting with like-minded individuals all on the same healing journey as you and communing with the powerful nature that surrounds you - you will inevitably move through great stages of healing and transformation.
This in-depth program has been intentionally curated with great attention to detail, with activities that support your processes with the medicines.

THE INTENTION
THE LAND & CENTRE
Story and Mission
Inti Yacu healing centre belongs to Juan Carlos Taminchi, who was raised in the Peruvian Amazon, immersed in a culture that still utilises plant medicine by way of the Curandero. Juan Carlos is devoted to maintaining these rituals as they have been practiced for thousands of years, and preserving the heritage of these traditions for the benefit of all with whom they share. He dedicates himself to the caretaking of sacred plants, protecting their natural habitat and reforesting them so that they can continue to heal and inspire many generations to come.
Inti Yacu is set among 37 hectares of the land that Juan Carlos and his family have been caretaking for the last 7 years, reintroducing many healing species. Amongst the medicinal plants that he has been reforesting are Ayahuxxxa, Chacruna, Chacrupanga, Chuchuwasi, Ajos Sacha, Coca, Bobinzana, Wayra Caspi, Piñón Colorado, Patiquina negra, Lupuna blanca (Ceiba Pentadra), Malva, Chiric sanango and Tobacco which he utilises for ceremonies, plant dietas and traditional Amazonian healings.
People travel from all over the world to stay at Inti Yacu for ceremonies, physical cleansing and spiritual healing, feeling the call and presence of these great plant spirits and the potent energy of this sacred land and jungle.
Accommodation & Food
Inti Yacu runs only on Solar power and rain water, with cosy cabanas set amongst the trees of the rainforest offering beautiful views out into deep green, you’ll commune with the jungle and enjoy sightings of monkeys and other animal friends, right from the place where you sleep. Each casita is built by hand with materials from the surrounding environment and comes complete with a compost toilet, whilst rain water is utilised for showering. Relax in your very own hammock by day and sleep deeply, serenaded by the sounds of the frogs, in your comfy bed by night, lit only by star and candle light.
With lovingly prepared home cooked food from Mamma Maria, you’ll enjoy locally sourced and deliciously ensembled, traditional Peruvian food in our community space.
