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. Over the next years of drinking medicine he had the blessing of God to meet Taita Juan. In the years since he has dedicated his path to working with the lineages of the Siona and Ingano. In this tribes they speak 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. As Eli journey's to find the 'Suma Pinta' of his heart he hopes to support other beings to uncover their highest calling.
Early on 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.

This retreat is co-lead by Luis Gabriel who is a medicine man and our ceremonial musician. Luis Gabriel from the Yanacona tribe now has been studying with Taita Juanito of the Ingano lineage for over 12 years. At the age of 10 he moved to Putumayo, Colombia where he started studying the art of the curanderismo (healer). He spent 4 years in preparation with a Grandfather studying the culture and then began to work with the sacred plant medicines.
Luis as well has studied the healing vibrations of music for more than 20 years and he now plays the violin, guitar, flutes, percussions, piano, voice and many other instruments. Through the permission and guidance of God Luis Gabriel uses the sound and frequency of music to reach directly to the heart to help heal blockages, traumas and energetic imbalances. Luis Gabriel will be sharing sacred medicine talks, playing music in our sacred ancestral ceremonies, and offering sound healing sessions.
A true being of light on this planet and one who was brought here to share the stories of the soul in the form of medicine music! We are so grateful and happy to have Luis Gabriel on our Nature Within Retreats!
