Ceremonial
Plant Medicine
Work
What if healing begins not with doing or efforting — but with listening and receiving?
What if transformation isn’t something to fix or force, but something that unfolds… in relationship with something vast, timeless, and quietly waiting?
Working with plant medicine invites you into a different kind of dialogue. One where healing emerges through respect, intention, and relationship — with yourself, with the natural world, and with ancient traditions of wisdom and care.
Remembering the Sacred
In many Indigenous traditions, plants are not seen as just plants. They are teachers, allies, and mirrors — masters of the subtle language of Spirit.
When you step into ceremony, you’re not simply ingesting a plant or a substance – you’re initiating a relationship. This work asks for humility, curiosity, and reverence. And when met with respect, it can reveal truths that lie far beyond words.
Walking with Brazil
For over two decades, Brazil has been a central thread in my life. My academic research has explored themes of religion, ethnomedicine, ethnopsychotherapy, consciousness, and ethnobotany — particularly how healing and spiritual expansion are practiced across Brazilian communities. What began as intellectual curiosity gradually turned into a deep calling.
Over the years, I’ve been welcomed into powerful ceremonies, sat with extraordinary ritualists and healers, and witnessed the profound wisdom embedded in the syncretistic traditions of Brazilian culture. Since 2021, my work has deepened through direct experience
with Amazonian medicines – Ayahuasca, Rapé, Sananga, Kambo – and their indigenous
guardians.
At the heart of my work is collaboration in close partnership with Indigenous ceremonial guardians and their committees. This work is shared and shaped by those who carry the medicine in their bloodlines, in their prayers, and in their communities. This partnership is central to the retreats I co-host. It is an act of respect, of cultural preservation, and of returning authority to where it belongs.
Rather than extracting or appropriating, I seek to co-create a respectful meeting ground – a retreat space where the healing practices of indigenous guides are not just included but honored as the core of the experience. Each retreat is designed in close cooperation with these teams, ensuring that the ceremonial context is held with depth, authenticity, and cultural integrity.
We honor wisdom
not by copying form,
but by carrying it
with reverence
What Makes This Work Different?
This path with Plant Medicine is not just about ceremony — it’s about deep, intentional preparation, and meaningful integration. Many people come with a longing for spiritual insight, but also for real, lasting transformation. To support that, I weave together three essential pillars:
Ceremonial spaces held and guided by Indigenous guardians
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy and Deep Coaching to prepare the inner landscape and support lasting change
A focus on integration, so that insights don’t fade, but root into your everyday life
Together, these elements form a safe, structured, and profoundly healing container — where ancient wisdom is honored, and personal transformation becomes possible through real world embodiment.
This Path Isn’t for Everyone…
You may feel called to work with sacred plants not out of curiosity, but out of a deeper knowing — a longing to reconnect with yourself, with something sacred, with life itself.
You may sense that what you’re seeking can’t be found in words alone — that something inside you is waiting to be remembered.
If you are seeking transformation that is not just personal, but relational and collective…
If you are curious about meeting the plants not as tools, but as teachers…
If you want to walk this path with integrity, with guidance, and with care…
Then maybe this work is calling you.
I am a student of the forest — and a bridge between cultures, disciplines, and worldviews: between Indigenous traditions and the Western mind, between psychotherapy and ceremony, science and Spirit.
This work is about creating a safe, sacred space where you can meet yourself anew — guided by ancient plant medicines, respectful collaboration, and the quiet wisdom of the forest.
