The principal pillar of the Nature Within is to assist in the collective awakening of all of humanity to the truth of our existence. In this family we use the plant medicines predominantly Yage or Ayahuasca as the principal door to support us in our journey back to our home. In the shamanic lineage of Taita Juan Guillermo Chindoy we are taught that all souls come from nature and it is each one of our journey's to find where in nature we come from and then to go even beyond there into the place where all is born.
In this journey we learn how to heal ourselves completely, how to heal our physical, emotional and spiritual bodies and how to live a life from our heart, one of innocence, joyfulness, love and dedication to our journey back home! As we deepen into our inner evolution it becomes natural to help one another as we are all one family.
In the journey of awakening there are many doors all leading to the same place. In this approach we are guided and led by our connection to the indigenous traditions of the world, their sacred plant medicines such as Yage (Ayahuasca), Yopo, Mambe, Rapé and other indigenous ceremonies such as Sweatlodge Rituals and Sound Healing Journeys. Although all doors go to the same place in my personal journey I have found it can be helpful to use one door as your predominant door in remembering who you are. If for example you are planning to hike up a mountain and there are seven equally accessible paths that will reach the top. If you decided each day of the week to go up one path it will take you much longer to reach the summit than if you choose one path and every day walk it until the top.
In this path I have found the plant medicines and the shamanic paths to be the one that have most supported my journey home but I have also found that meditation, yoga, fasting, attending spiritual talks, pranayama, and other spiritual activities to be very supportive. It is important to find the perfect concotion that will bring you back to your heart and help you to remember that what we all are is the Divine Energy supporting all of life. Think of yourself as an alquimist making your own potion to find the perfect ingredients in your journey back to Love, to Truth, to Forgiveness and to a life where you Dance and Sing with the Ancestors all the Time! Here at the Nature Within we like to offer you many different flavors to support you in finding your own potion that brings you happiness like you have never known before and we hope you feel the call from you Soul to join us in the celestial dance where we can be students and teachers of one another, brothers and sisters of one another and most importantly friends in a sweet remembrance of the beauty of life!

The Nature Within is dedicated to working with the lineages of the Siona and Ingano from Putumayo, Colombia. These lineages are transmitted through Taita Juan Guillermo Chindoy. Taita Juan is a powerful, playful and open-hearted shaman who was recognized at a young age as a healer and a carrier of the ancient wisdoms of the jungle. Since then he has dedicated his life to serving mankind and delivering the teachings of the ancestors in their purest form. His work is a journey in which one can return to their essence and see that all is Spirit, God or Pure Energy.
I feel very fortunate in this lifetime to have fallen into the hands of grace of a teacher like Taita Juan. Over the years as my journey in my life has continued with these sacred plant medicines I feel every day more and more gratitude for his presence in my life. Words can not do justice to the immense gratitude I have for him and his way of teaching all of us. Over the years I have seen time and time again how his wide heart embraces all, all of my flaws and parts of myself that I believed could never be healed. It is very rare in this life and in all the lives we have passed through to have the chance to walk with a teacher of such unconditional love, child-like playfulness, deep wisdom of our ancestors, a joy for life and an understanding of how to live life fully with a dedication to support humanity to return to our origin.
Taita Juan often expresses how in the time of our ancestors they didn’t think so much and as a result were not plagued with fears, doubts, uncertainties and illness both mentally and physically. However, in the modern day due to the ever-quickening pace of society and the societal beliefs of how we must live and what we must achieve we have created a wide range of sickness and ailments. Taita Juan has been teaching us through the guidance of the sacred plant medicines how to change in the internal paradigm. In the ancient book of knowledge from the jungle which you can find written in the stars and heavens it explains that illness, ill thoughts, doubts, fears, insecurities and worries are all illusions.
In this path we learn how to go all the way back to the origin of our soul to heal these ailments. We go back to their very root and as we come back we remind ourselves that what we are is health, that we are is love, what we are are is forgiveness and what we are is joy! Day by day, moment by moment we are changing the frequency and here life becomes very yummy and we step into ways of beauty and ways of seeing life that we could have never imagined!
Taita Juan explains that in the heavens our ancestors are waiting for us! That there is a big door of light and at the top of a door a large sign reds WELCOME TO LIFE! When you go through this door the ancestors are there with drums, flutes and instruments of all sorts and they are dancing, singing, laughing, praying and enjoying this miracle of existence. And they are awaiting us to join this dance in every moment! The heaven that we dream of is here on Earth and this is time for us to wake up and join this dance! We hope you feel that call within your heart to join our family as we together create a dance that all beings whose hearts are open are welcome to join!
In this life it is very important to cultivate gratitude! Mother Earth and the Great Spirit has given us all!
In this family our gratitude extends out to the Grandfather's and Grandmothers, to the Mother Earth and Father Sun, to the Lords of the Three Realms the Macaw of the Heavens, The Jaguars and Big Cats of the Mother Earth, the Boa and Great Snakes of the Underworld, and this Gratitude is for all of the Plants and Animals, for all of Humanity, for the Medicine Men and Women of the past, and the Taita's and Shamans, the Great Wisdom Keepers of the Earth, the people day by day around the world planting seeds of remembrance and of course the Great Spirit, God, the Pure Energy that which we all are!
Throughout the year we hold many retreats in Costa Rica and in Colombia and we also hold many medicine ceremonies with Ayahuasca! We would love to you join any of this deeply healing events!
