The Night Watchman: Amazonian Guayusa Dream Tea Ceremony
Experience powerful visions that will inform your life forward.
Friday, November 5, 2021 - 19:00 to 21:30
Swiss Church; 79 Endell St, London, WC2H 9DY, United Kingdom
This is a powerful shamanic experiential evening, where you will journey into the dimensions of dreamtime, and altered states. It is a vision quest that challenges your inner warrior, and your sense of space, time and direction, as you step into the mystery of dreamtime.
In a special traditional ceremony, we honor the Guayusa tree spirit with chants, songs and music. As we sip the sacred tea, we go into deep meditative silence in complete darkness, to encounter and communicate with our spirit guides and other spirits, to enable us to bring new visions and awareness into our lives.
The Ushai: The Fifth Element of Unity
Hands-on experiential workshop with the elements.
Sat 6 Nov 2021 - Sun 7 Nov 2021
10:00 AM - 4:30 PM GMT
Barnes Green Centre, SW13 9HE
To realize full peacefulness, oneness, and harmony, a person must experience and embody the unity and immersion with the totality of the cosmos or Pachamama. According to the High Andes shamanic healing wisdom, our body is divided into four sections, which each embody one of the four elements’ distinct virtues:
Earth – (Feminine energy) Feet and legs–denoting the roots and relation to the grounding Earth.
Fire – (Masculine energy) Groins, sexual area–denoting passion and creativity.
Water – (Feminine energy) Inner organs: digestion, lungs, heart–denoting the emotional state.
Air – (Masculine energy) head–denoting mind, ego, and thoughts.
Shamanic healing's goal is to reconnect the flow between the core magnetic field of the earth, activate the flow between the four elements sections, and reconnect with the Ushai and thus enable the client to reach Taita Inti, Father Sun- Who's love and light are the essences of life. That will return the physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies of the client in full alignment with the cosmos. In this experiential workshop, we will investigate ways to connect with each of the four elements, understand their medicine, and learn how to reconnect to our Ushai and discover how to live in its bliss.
The sacred Cacao ceremony
A beautiful ceremony to open your heart to the vast cosmos.
Sat 6 Nov 2021 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM GMT
Barnes Green Centre, SW13 9HE
We are excited to bring you together in a magical shamanic healing cacao ceremony. The ceremony tradition has its roots in Central and South America. The Mayan and Aztec civilizations considered cacao sacred “Food of the Gods” or a “superfood” for its rich substances: antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. It was allowed to be consumed only by the ruling classes and to be traded by way of money.
The ceremony is intended to open one's heart to each other and the cosmos. This specially made heirloom cacao drink–not hallucinating–is prepared using an indigenous formula, which allows us to share our heart stories, setting intentions for the future, expressing deep wishes and hidden prayers in our own authentic voice, and in a safe space. We will be visioning and journeying, singing, making music, and telling heart stories throughout the ceremony.
During the ceremony you will be ask to lie down. Please bring your personal equipment to feel comfortable - yoga mat, blanket, cushion, eye cover etc. We hope you’ll join us.

The Night Watchman: Amazonian Guayusa Dream Tea Ceremony
This is a powerful shamanic experiential evening, where you will journey into the dimensions of dreamtime, and altered states. It is a vision quest that challenges your inner warrior, and your sense of space, time and direction, as you step into the mystery of dreamtime. In a special traditional ceremony, we honor the Guayusa tree spirit with chants, songs and music. As we sip the sacred tea, we go into deep meditative silence in complete darkness, to encounter and communicate with our spirit guides and other spirits, to enable us to bring new visions and awareness into our lives. The Amazonian Kichwa people of Ecuador believe that the Guayusa plant taught human beings how to dream. It is also called “The Night Watchman” because it sharpens the hunter’s instincts to keep focused energy, while bringing in night vision and awareness. Kichwa families drink gourds of Guayusa around the communal fire from dawn till sunrise as a way to create a tribal bond, and rejuvenate their spirit and bodies. During this time, they share their night’s dreams as the shaman interprets them, so they can plan the day’s course of action. This is also the time when the elders teach the youth about ancestral myths, hunting practices and social ethics. Guayusa, similar to yerba maté, is a medicinal plant that contains caffeine without the rugged edges, and it’s filled with healthy antioxidants. It also has theobromine, found in chocolate, and L- theanine, found in green tea. You will feel fully alive. It is not hallucinating; it simply activates the brain, not allowing it to go deep into theta/delta states (below the level of the conscious mind), which allows you to “see” your visions. |
