About the Event

We sit in the traditional Shipibo way. This will be a special one-night and one-day retreat for the men to gather in sacred council to pray, commune and celebrate together.

 

OUR PRAYER FOR THIS RETREAT:

This medicine is a powerful & sacred tool: it illuminates our inner being and gives us perspective into the many layers of our subconscious. This, in turn, can have positive, life-changing effects on our habitual patterns and beliefs. Beyond the reorientation of these outdated patterns is the gift of building connections that support the continuous unfolding and deepening of our inner knowing.

We are learning that there is no limit to the growth that any one soul can experience in a lifetime. Yet it takes digging deep and a willingness to recognize our conditioned patterns to step into that liminal space of infinite growth.

We have found that the profound nature of this work is best served by an environment where everyone feels comfortable enough to be truly vulnerable with one another.

For this reason, we do a thorough screening process to ensure a safe container for all participants.

We strive for our maloca to remain open to anyone looking for a safe, non-judgmental place to face themselves and bring their best self forward.

TESTIMONIALS

 I came into Robin's Shipibo course with a little knowledge of both the Shipibo language and singing ikaros, however, I left with much more than I could have hoped for. Robin is so gracious in sharing his insight and what he's learned over the years, and his generous, warm-hearted nature illuminates within him a noticeably high level of respect for the sacredness of the plants and working with them.

Everything was leading up to this and now I have a duty to take it forward and make the best of it that I can. That this longing for more wasn’t for more of the pleasures of earth, it was for more love, more light, more knowledge.
Robin and Alicia are real family to me now. They exemplify what it means to be on this path, to really work on yourself, to be willing to go there, to face the hard things, the challenges and to come out stronger.   

— Jerrod B. 

 

Through this work, I was able to really get to some core truths and follow that path the whole way down instead of getting stuck at my inner blocks like I have so many times before.

 

— M. S.

The retreat helped me to see my truth and live my truth by showing me hidden things that needed attention, - and where I still need to do some homework."
