SpiritPath is dedicated to the progression of the human spirit, through opening the infinite potential of the human mind and body, with a goal of attaining universal love, compassion and authenticity, which are all prime aspects of the true freedom and ONE reality. Since all paths that are aimed towards liberation and enlightenment have same essence, SpiritPath is inclined to work directly with the human potential, utilizing all the divine tools and wisdom available to humanity.
During the retreats, the participants will be encouraged to spend the entire time, from early morning till late night, in continuous meditation through numerous exercises, practices, special diets, alternative healing methods, treks, adventures, discussions, expressive activities and relaxations, utilizing various paths, such as Tao, Yoga, Tantra, Castaneda, Zen, Chi Gong, Purification Breathing, Reiki, Tibetan Buddhism, Hindu Mysticism, Central and South American Shamanism, Healing Massages, Expressive Art and Dance, Acupuncture, Vipassana and direct guidance by Mother Earth, with assistance from spiritual and medicinal plants, such as Ayahuaska, San Pedro, Sacred Mushrooms and many others.
The location is beautiful and serene, far removed from noise and pollution of civilization. The houses and private huts are completely surrounded by the rainforest, providing a powerful setting for deep meditation and communion with nature. There, one is placed face to face with the challenges of living fully open to the forces of the forest, quite a liberating experience. Every day nature provides spectacular scenes, clearly displaying the constantly changing phenomena for our observation.
Participating in the program includes nutrition, specifically designed to meet the needs of each participant (All locally grown foods, vegetarian meals, and special diets with medicinal plants), as well as Yoga and Chi Gong practices, with support through bodywork, energy work, acupuncture, and many other therapies. In addition, there will be occasional jungle treks into the forest; visits from the local wonders, like the famous amazonian fresh water Dolphins or amazing Blue Morpho butterflies; close studies with our traditional shaman, who has many years of experience in the field of shamanism and healing; and above all, personal attention from instructors who have dedicated their lives to the transformation of consciousness.
Our healing center is located next to a small local settlement, 25km from the city of Iquitos, in a protected national reserve, far away from deforestation, which is so common throughout the rainforest. The main house and some of the huts are set on the bank of the river. Other huts are located deeper in the jungle, for a more secluded meditation experience. The rooms and huts are private, yet fully open to the surrounding nature. There are very few mosquitoes, but for additional comfort, mosquito nets will be placed throughout the lodge. The bathrooms and showers are comfortable and pleasant.
Many activities are also available to help participants relax and expand their meditation. Just an example includes painting, writing, dancing, reading spiritual texts, sun bathing, making local art crafts, swimming and plenty of others.
The healing lodge is a perfect balance of raw rainforest experience and comfort. The house is old and well integrated into the surrounding nature, which limits the presence of bugs and other uninvited creatures, although caution, alertness, and awareness is still essential while moving around. The lodge is only used for the retreats, hence the presence of power there is very strong. Many participant choose to spend most of their day in one of the 9 huts, separated from each other by thick jungle. Being fully and continuously saturated by living energy, brings the mind to harmony and inner silence, a natural state of meditation.
