Join us for a transformative evening as we absorb the healing vibrations of sound, journey within through a guided meditation, and commune with sacred Amazonian plant medicine directly from Peru.
This event will include a full tincture dropper of Chullachaqui (chew-a-chak-i) Caspi while you immersive yourself in a sound bath with crystal bowls, chimes, & gongs. Additionally, a guided meditation will take you on a journey through the jungle where you will be given the opportunity to confront the shadow self - limiting perspectives that hold you back from reaching your fullest potential, and unhealed emotional pain, while using Chullachaqui as your guide.
You will be provided a safe space to heal while you do your inner work. You can expect everything you need for above and beyond comfort. This includes a cozy memory foam mattress with sheets directly from the Peru imprinted with patterns for protection. There will also be blankets, eye masks, water, tea, journals and tissues provided to fully support your journey within. Your guide - Chris, will offer an icaros prayer he learned from his master teacher in Peru from the Shipibo tribe.
Reserve your spot here! Space is limited.

More about Chullachaqui:
A Chullachaqui Caspi tincture is often seen as a strong ally for shadow work. In Amazonian traditions, this tree is linked with the spirit of the Chullachaqui—a guardian of the forest who challenges people to face what is hidden or untrue within themselves.
When taken as a tincture, even in very small doses, it is said to:
Bring hidden patterns to the surface so they can be acknowledged and released.
Strengthen inner grounding, helping you face uncomfortable emotions without being overwhelmed.
Offer protection and courage as you move through the darker aspects of the psyche.
Guide you into authenticity, showing where you may be out of alignment with your true path.
Because shadow work can feel intense, the tincture is usually taken with clear intention and respect, inviting the Chullachaqui spirit to act as both a mirror and a teacher.

Vanessa:
Vanessa is a meditation facilitator and creative guide who has been leading transformative group meditations for Moonlit Mystic, and in nonprofit spaces dedicated to healing and empowerment. Her approach is intuitive and original—each guided meditation is crafted from the heart, blending imagery, emotion, and gentle inquiry to support deep inner work.
Unbound by a single tradition, Vanessa draws from a wide spectrum of practices, crafting experiences that are accessible, inclusive, and resonant for diverse communities. She believes meditation is not just a path to peace, but a powerful tool for healing, self-discovery, and releasing what no longer serves us.
Chris:
Chris walks the path of healing through the plants and ancestral traditions of the Amazon. Trained with ayahuasca and shamanic teachings in the Shipibo lineage, he is guided by the spirits of sacred trees such as Remo Caspi and Chullachaqui Caspi. On his path of becoming a curandero, Chris weaves icaros, sound baths, meditation, and ceremony to create spaces of protection, healing, and reconnection with nature and spirit.
Ryan:
Ryan has spent the past eight years exploring the transformative power of sound as both a practitioner and explorer of consciousness. Alongside his collaborator Chris, he co-creates Arcane Roots, a sound collective crafting immersive, expansive experiences.
For Ryan, sound is more than relaxation, it’s a gateway to higher states of awareness. Through layered vibrations and resonant soundscapes, he guides participants into spaces where boundaries dissolve and perception expands.
