Testimony of a participant in a Retreat/Diet
"A revolution has occurred, for me and for my husband: we have lived an incredible experience, separately and together, our life is in deliverance...
What an emotion to go to this place, initially for our sons... We had long looked “outside” for solutions to personal and family problems. Personally, I experienced a “luminous inside” transforming the outside and our sons, who were “the problem”, became our masters…
It is the most powerful experience I have ever had in my life: the framework is clearly specified as soon as the documents are received, the ritual is clear and constructed, the sacred is everywhere. I was overwhelmed by this ritual, an extraordinary safeguard, allowing me to lean on, let go and trust. Even today, I perceive it as a transmission and also a pedagogy. It stayed in my skin and changes my relationship to things, to people, to patients, to my job as a therapist.

Canta la Ayahuasca - Healing Ikaros
Ikaros are essential elements of Traditional Amazonian Medicine and constitute a source of cultural resistance by preserving both linguistic elements and knowledge related to Amazonian world-view and medicinal resources, which go back in time to the original cultures. They are the essential means to transmit wisdom and healing practices. This concept led us to call our center "Takiwasi" that in Quechua means "the house that sings" or "the house of song", to honor this tradition.
On our website we offer for sale the ikaros sung by the healers of Takiwasi. The revenues generated from the sale of these products is entirely destined to support Takiwasi in the treatment and rehabilitation of people with limited economic resources who suffer from drug addiction.

Takiwasi Center Online Courses
We want to invite you to enroll in our online courses:
- Introducción al modelo terapéutico Takiwasi:
11 pre-registered classes taught in Spanish by the therapeutic team of the Takiwasi Center. Topics such as Traditional Amazonian Medicine are addressed, including the presentation of specific techniques such as plant baths and purges, and the application of Western psychological approaches in the treatment of addictions, such as existential psychotherapies and the analysis of trans-generational inheritances.
-
Coherencias entre la iniciación cristiana y la iniciación amazónica: taught in Spanish by Dr. Jacques Mabit, course based on 5 pre-registered videos. The experience of the Takiwasi Center shows us that there are numerous and surprising points of coherence and convergence between the Christian faith and Amazonian shamanism (when correctly understood and practiced). This course attempts to highlight the relevance of bringing these two paths of knowledge closer together and articulating them appropriately in favor of opening new paths for the healing of the body, mind and spirit.
