Embracing our Inner Child: A Path to Healing and Integration in Plant Medicine Retreats

During Plant Medicine retreats, we touch the depths of our souls by journeying deeply into our subconsciousness. In ceremony, deeply rooted patterns, blockages, memories, and emotions that often trace back to our childhood can surface.

By connecting with our Inner Child, an archetype embedded in our subconscious, we create a bridge between the insights and healing received during our ceremonies and our everyday lives.
Our Inner Child represents the purest essence of who we are: our joy, creativity, and authentic self. Yet, it also carries the wounds of our past and the conditioning that shapes our current experiences.

At Willkamayu Spirit, we offer a nurturing environment where ancient traditions and integrative therapies complement and enhance one another.
During our retreats, we explore the energy of our Inner Child, allowing participants to feel and express their emotions, heal past wounds, and cultivate love and compassion towards themselves.

If you feel called to connect with the profound communion of Plant Medicine and Inner Child work, we invite you to join us on this transformational journey!

With love and gratitude,

Jhon, Janneke and the Willkamayuspirit team

As we close the door on our last retreat of 2024, our hearts are full with gratitude. Thank you, dear sisters, for your vulnerability and trust! It has been beautiful to connect and share these profound moments with you.

Reflecting on this past year, we are deeply thankful for the incredible souls we’ve met from all corners of the globe.
Each encounter has enriched our journey, allowing us to explore our inner and outer landscapes, and grow in consciousness together.

Walking this path alongside one another is both profound and transformative. We acknowledge that it can be challenging and confronting at times, but the depth of our shared experiences and the courage to be vulnerable makes it worthwhile. Together, we heal, we grow, and we rise.

We are deeply grateful for our expanding community. As we transition into 2025, we wish you all a beautiful journey filled with health, love and connection to yourselves and your loved ones.

We are going into the Mountains for some days!
Tupananchiskama!

With love and light,

Connecting with, and Integrating the teachings of Wachuma in connection with our Innerchild as an embodiment practise🌀🌵

Last month a beautiful “new retreat” came organically together with two ladies from Canada and Switzerland.
They both wanted an Innerchild workshop in combination with a wachuma ceremony, so Janneke started both with them the first out of three Innerchild sessions online and session two and three in person during their retreat! They were both available on the same dates, so it came beautifully together…

The Innerchild workshop in communion with the Grandfather medicine is profound. The Innerchild work prepares you, supports you during the ceremony in connection with the medicine and helps you to integrate the messages on a deeper level.

You are receiving a beautiful tool which you can easily integrate in your daily life, to embody the teachings which you have received in your retreat!

So we decided to make a new retreat in our offers;
3 day Wachuma Innerchild retreat

🌀1 preparation Innerchild session online
🌀Day 1 Innerchild session in person, lunch, dinner
🌀Day 2 wachuma ceremony
🌀Day 3 breakfast, integration Innerchild session in person

For more information about this beautiful retreat send us an dm!

With love

Growing in Community 🌿❤️

We are filled with joy that we met our dear sister Astrid last week again, who has been a part of the Willkamayuspirit family for the past few years. Each time she visits Peru with her group, she brings with her a deep connection to the land and the the sacred medicines.

Last year, the owners of Paraiso, where we host our retreats, honored Astrid by asking her to be the spiritual godmother for their daughter.
Witnessing the profound connection between people, the land, and the growth of community worldwide fills our hearts with gratitude.

Last week, we celebrated a beautiful ceremony “Ununchakuy”, a spiritual baptism for their daughter and Astrid. It was a magical moment to come together in ceremony and love, creating beautiful memories together and strengthening community!

We are deeply grateful for all the beautiful souls who surround us, for the meaningful connections within our shared journey and for the learning and growing together. 🙏💚

Hey brothers & sisters,

We wish you all connected, continuing solstice energies and a beautiful start to the New Year.

We are looking back at 2023 with love, acceptance and gratitude. We have had our challenges, however we are grateful for each other and for the lessons we have learned 🌀🙏

For us, a big milestone was going and sharing Wachuma (San Pedro) ceremonies in the Netherlands, which was really magical and we are grateful for our growing community over there.

For 2024, some of our intentions that we would love to share are:

* To grow in our Willkamayu Spirit team, to grow in community, growing into sharing with people in new ways, collaborations!
* ⁠Growing in our own healing, expansion and development, as a family, and of course to rise in consciousness together.
⁠* Sharing Wachuma retreats and some new offerings in the Netherlands. (We are making beautiful connections and collaborations with amazing people over there so stay tuned.)
* Continuing the usual retreats in the Sacred Valley of Peru while Jhon and Janneke will be in Europe.
* To share retreats in the higher jungle of Peru, and some new retreat offerings in the Sacred Valley.

Wishing you all a year of expansion with profound connections, acceptance, healing, growth and Peace.

Soucin has been with Willkamayu Spirit since November 2022, and this is where she first learned about her beautiful, deep connection with the plant medicines Ayahuasca and Wachuma (San Pedro) 💖✨🌵 Her work with Willkamayu Spirit involves planning and organising the retreats, maintaining the website, getting involved with the social media, and encouraging the growth of the retreats 😊 She is currently travelling through South America, but when she is in the Sacred Valley, she also accompanies participants during their ceremonies, working alongside the maestros. It was during one of these ceremonies that she received the Códigos, which have become an important part of her life's work. The 4 Códigos (4 Codes) are a healing, a cleansing, with 4 steps to help women heal deeply from sexual trauma and violence (https://healfromsexualviolence.com/). As well, Soucin is setting up an NGO (https://pachamama-revive.org/) to help take care of this beautiful planet we call home.

The connection with nature, the four elements and Ancient rituals and ceremonies are super important for me and they play a big role in my personal journey.

Living in Peru for more than 8 years now, has helped me profoundly in (re)connecting with and remembering these ancient practices.

These sacred rituals and practices are interwoven in the ceremonies we will share in the Netherlands with plant medicine Wachuma 🌵

Do you feel the calling to (re)connect with these profound practices?
Send us a message!
With love and gratitude,
Janneke

“Wachuma”means in quechua (the local language): Wachu: row, Uma: head. It means cultivating the mind, raising the consciousness. Wachuma is a heart opening medicine and helps us to tune in, ground and integrate.
“It can connect us to the primal state of Being and generate profound spiritual experiences,” says Jhon.

The effects can last for several hours. While each individual's experience is unique, it is often experienced that the senses are sharpened, you feel connected to nature and you come to deep emotional and spiritual insights.
The medicine supports healing in profound patterns and beliefs, depression, fears and family systems. This beautiful medicine has the gift of opening and strengthening a deep connection with ourselves, our inner child and our ancestors.

Do you feel the “calling” or do you want to know more? Send us a message.
The early bird registrations run until the upcoming New Moon, May 19th!

Lots of love
