CHAIKONI TEMPLE
Our Approach
Our retreats are designed as an educational experience for students to get in touch with ancestral ways of dieting. They recieve close guidance from the maestro himself and experience a range of traditional healing modalities.
A Students learn:
-How to engage with master plants meaningfully in a traditional dieta container
-About complementary remedies used in vegetalismo (herbalism) practice
-Deep dream interpretation, one of the main practices of sama (master plant dieta)
-How to thoroughly work with the medicine.
-To understand the technology of icaros and Shipibo language
-How to integrate master plant dieta practice into the bigger ceremony of life
At our center, we focus on educating our students about the ancient practice of sama (master plant dieta) in the Shipibo-Konibo tradition. Our beloved maestro, Wexa Metsa, is a linneage holder who generously shares profound wisdom from the core of his culture and his ancestors. He is our main guide and teacher at Kushi Center.
WHAT IS SAMA?
Sama means Plant Dieta in the Shipibo-Konibo language. It is an ancient practice that Amazonian cultures have mastered for healing the ill, training doctors, and initiating the spiritual leaders of a community.
Our goal at Chaikoni Temple is to educate students about the ancestral practices of shipibo-konibo Sama and share the authentic foundations and philosophy of this powerful practice to the world.
