Deepening Your Understanding of the Path and Our Practices

Find clarity on our traditions, safety protocols, and the sacred journey of the plant medicine experience.

What are the Ancestral Wisdoms Traditions and how do you honor it?

We are deeply rooted in the Ancestral Wisdom Traditions of the Peruvian Amazon. Our work is guided by traditional icaros (sacred songs) and ancestral techniques passed down through generations, ensuring the medicine is practiced with the highest cultural integrity.

Safety is our foundation. We maintain high-integrity spaces via thorough medical screening, trained facilitators, and small group sizes. We bridge ancient healing with modern safety standards to provide a secure environment for deep soul work.
A Dieta is a dedicated period of communion with a specific teacher plant. It is designed for students seeking deeper healing or training. We offer both immersive and remote containers to support your unique level of experience.
No prior experience is necessary, but a heart open to “Radical Faith” and transformation is essential. We offer guidance for both beginners and long-term students of the medicine path to ensure everyone feels supported.
We believe in a reciprocal relationship with the land. A portion of our proceeds goes toward philanthropy and replanting initiatives in the Amazon, ensuring we give back more than we take from the ecosystems that sustain us.
Integration is where the healing takes root. We provide resources, prayer, and meditation practices to help you bridge the wisdom gained during ceremony into your modern, daily life for lasting transformation.

Preparation involves both physical and spiritual alignment. We provide a detailed guide on the “dieta” (dietary) requirements and intentional practices to help you arrive with clarity and openness to the Great Spirit.

Our mission is built on the belief that personal healing is planetary healing. By helping individuals return to their divine nature and live in harmony with the Earth, we contribute to the collective awakening of all beings.

Embrace the Sacred Journey Toward Personal and Planetary Healing

Step into a high-integrity container of ancient wisdom to reconnect with the Great Spirit and your divine nature.

Operations

Adam and Olivia’s love story began when they met on an Ayahuasca retreat, both immersed in a dieta. They each quietly took note of the depth with which the other approached their practice. They met for lunch a few weeks later and fell in love shortly thereafter.

Blessed by Athena to serve as a Curandero in addition to being ordained as a Zen monk in the Light Lineage of the Buddha, Adam carries two interwoven wisdom streams that shape his unique way of serving others. His work braids plant medicine and Zen into a living, luminous path that some have come to call “Zen-ahuasca.”

His devotion moves through everything he offers: his Icaros, his guided meditations, and the healing energies that work through him. People often describe feeling inspired to deepen their own practices just by being in his presence.

In addition to private and group sits, Adam is available for shamanic tune-ups, remote dietas and meditation support.

You can think of Olivia as a wilderness guide for the psyche. Trained as a therapist and shaped by years of her own trauma recovery and thirteen years of medicine-path initiations, she holds a field where the unseen becomes felt, and the inner terrain becomes navigable.

As a devotee of the divine mother and the rose path, her work is rooted in seeing incarnation as a sacred experience designed to open our hearts through the gateways of embodiment, impermanence and intimacy with life and each other.

Olivia is the founder of The Essential Self and works with individuals and couples to gently dissolve old patterns and meet our lives with greater compassion and love. She also offers guided 1-on-1 journeys with other plant medicines. Olivia is available for both short and long term counseling, including embodiment work, emotional alchemy and preparation & integration sessions to help you receive the most benefit from your medicine practice.
