The sacred dance of the inside and outside

The magic and creativity of Mama Aya and the rainforest one last time with Ruedi – shadow warrior and Viola – carrier of joy from August 7th to 24th, 2026
After more than 25 years, it's time for me, Viola, to say goodbye and say a big thank you to my ayahuascero Enrique and his wife Susanna on this journey.
It is a joy for Ruedi and me to share this sacred space with you once again.
We are honored when previous participants dream along with us again!
During this long time, Mama Aya has been a creative bridge builder for me, Viola, between my self and my soul. Closed doors of my subconscious have opened and are opening. My life is rich, colorful, and fulfilling, marked by a deep sense of gratitude.
On this journey, we will experience the rainforest for 9 days at the Sacha Sisa Lodge on the Rio Napo. There, we'll travel to other worlds in three ayahuasca ceremonies with Don Enrique and experience the magic and power of Mother Ayahuasca.
During the day, we'll explore the jungle and take canoe trips by day and night to observe animals and plants.
We offer several opportunities to experience the land and its people: Amazoonico, traditional pottery, balsa carving, cacao farm, pineapple farm, Quequa family, hike(s) in the rainforest...
In the coming days, we'll discover a new lodge.
Another encounter with Mama Ayahuasca takes place here. Further nature experiences are possible.
On all other days, Ruedi and I offer ceremonies for integration.
On the last day, we enjoy the thermal baths in Papallacta at an altitude of 3600 metres in the Andes before checking into the airport hotel and spending a cosy evening together.
The Ceremony
Don Enrique opens doors through the sacred potion, his singing and the medicine of tobacco. He personally conducts a healing ceremony with everyone, a very special experience!
What is Ayahuasca? It is the name of a sacred herbal medicine from the Amazon. Due to its strong cleansing, healing and visionary effects, it has long been used by indigenous tribes in a ritual context.
Part of the tea consists of a liana, which is known as the death vine or soul vine. As a soul vine, the gates between the self and the soul open again. As a tendril of death, it shows us what no longer serves life.
Traditional Ayahuasca rituals facilitate physical, mental and spiritual healing. Ayahuasca is known to provide deep insights into one's own existence.
It can best be compared to a mirror for the soul, which has the power to show us our negative thoughts and behavioural patterns, traumas and deep-rooted fears in order to initiate the healing process.
Ayahuasca is a pure plant medicine that expands the everyday state of consciousness and enhances inner awareness.
On the journey, we gain access to the unconscious and can perceive our lives through body perceptions, images and felt knowledge without our mind having primary control. A different approach to conventional therapies.
On the journey we experience "I am so much more than my personal story!"
Ayahuasqueros say:
When the connection between soul and ego is intact again,
the person heals on all levels!
If you want to experience Quito and the equator afterwards, you can do so.
In our experience, one more day is enough to see the equator, the historic centre, the statue of the Virgin Mary and the art market
