CeremoniaCeremony
Plant-medicine ceremony held by Shipibo curanderos in the candlelit dome, guided by icaros — the songs that carry the work.

An invitation
A retreat held in the old way — slow, ceremonial, and whole.
In the mountains above Valle de Bravo, a temple was built to the proportions of the medicine itself. Here, Shipibo curanderos hold fourteen days of ceremony, master-plant diet, and integration — the full arc of a healing, beginning to end.
El Espacio · The Space
A temple
of sacred
geometry
The center sits inside living forest, its dome opening to a cenital oculus. At the hour the light moves through, a mandala is cast across the floor — geometry rendered not in ornament, but in the building itself.
Carved timber, flower-of-life glass, a central altar. Every line was drawn to hold the work: a room that feels less constructed than grown, candlelit and still.
- 01The dome & oculus. A cenital wooden mandala that gathers the day's light into a single, moving form.
- 02The altar. The center of the ceremonial room, where the curanderos hold the night.
- 03Flower-of-life glass. Sacred-geometry windows that color the room as the sun crosses.
La DietaMaster-Plant Diet
The traditional Shipibo diet — a quiet, restricted regimen that opens a direct relationship with the master plants over the days.
IntegraciónIntegration
Tended days of rest, reflection, and counsel — so that what moves in ceremony has the room to settle and become a way of living.
El Retiro · The Retreat
Fourteen days,
held end to end
A complete arc — arrival and grounding, the ceremonial heart of the diet, and a slow return. Time enough for the medicine to do its work, and for you to carry it home.

Dates, group size, and contribution are shared directly during the application conversation, so that each retreat is held for the people who are meant to be in it.
Lineage
Rooted in the Shipibo tradition
Khungi is held by curanderos of the Shipibo lineage, carrying a medicine tradition kept and passed down through generations. The work here follows that path — the diet, the icaros, the long ceremonial nights — honored in its own form.
