This retreat is co-lead by Eli who is a medicine man and in service to the Great Spirit and Mother Nature. At the age of 17 Eli met the Shamans of the Amazon Jungle for the first time. In the lineage of the Siona and Ingano it is spoken of the ‘Suma Pinta’ or the highest vision of the heavens and in the path of the Yage it is a key element of the path of a healer. Over the next years of drinking medicine he had the blessing to meet Taita Juan. Eli saw that his life was meant to be in service to the Yage and to support the healing mission of Taita by organizing retreats alongside him.


​Since this time Eli has been organizing healing work with Taita Juan in Costa Rica and Colombia. Eli also has his own healing practice where he leads retreats and medicine ceremonies. In addition to Eli’s studies with Taita Juan and these cultures he has extensively studied the paths of meditation, Yoga, energy healing practices and other spiritual modalities of awakening the heart. In these retreats Eli draws upon all of these tools to bring the most healing and light to your being.

As Eli journey's to find the 'Suma Pinta' of his heart he hopes to support other beings to uncover their highest calling.
