We joined Naysha and her team for a 10 day jungle retreat in Iquitos, December 2016. Before that we had participated in about 14 ceremonies in various settings so we had some experience with the medicine and different types of shamans and healers, both in and out of Peru. Naysha has by far the most personal approach we have encountered so far. There is a lot of attention for everyone’s personal process and Naysha takes the time with all participants to find out what they are looking for. Naysha also gives a lot of information about the medicine plants and the processes in and around ceremonies. We really appreciate this because we have found that many shamans provide general information but somehow seem reluctant to share their personal, in depth knowledge.

Naysha runs a tight ship and she looks after everyone. There is a lot of freedom but she will not allow people to interfere in process of others.
And while Naysha and her team are very serious about their work, there is a lot of room for fun and laughs. Naysha has a great sense of humor and you will hear her contagious laughter throughout the day, always the first one to make fun of herself and her crew and to keep things in perspective.

The personal approach works wonders in the ceremonies. Naysha walks around frequently to check up on all participants. Naysha is assisted by Suraiya, who has an extraordinary gift for healing. During ceremonies she goes around in different persona’s, each with their own healing abilities. These persona’s sort of work through Suraiya and they actively heal in a unique and absolutely amazing way that we have never experienced before. This can be in a gentle way but sometimes also in very direct and confrontational way, depending on the treatment that is required at that moment. Whatever shows up, if you are willing and open, it will offer you a unique way to heal and learn.

During this retreat Naysha was also assisted by Selia, a powerful Shipibo healer and Roger, a clear voyant who performs excellent readings through his various sets of tarot cards. Last but not least she was assisted by her apprentice Maq. In this retreat Maq was a participant but he still helped out with a lot of stuff. Next to that he is an amazingly nice guy with a lot of humor and great stories.

The retreat offered a lot of value, especially when you consider that the price was a lot lower than those of the regular retreats that are offered around Iquitos. Naysha and her team are not out to get you to do as many ceremonies as possible. They are out to actively heal as many people as possible. For them, this is not a business model but a mission. We were very impressed by Naysha, her team and their work. Highly recommended!

Naysha is an internationally-known Peruvian Curandera. Curandera (or Curanderita) is the name pertaining to female shamans and healers of the Amazon. There are many different kinds of medicine women depending on their specialty of focus- they all have their own different kinds of tools, techniques and ways of healing. Naysha heals through medicinal plants, ceremonies, music and traditions, and being adept in the shamanic world, Her connection with plant medicine started before she was born. Her mother could not have children so she, like many Peruvians, went to the shamans to find healing after the medical system had failed her. The shamanic treatment was successful and Naysha was conceived. Naysha, later, worked as a lawyer for the Peruvian government. This was when she realized that in order to change society- the individual must first change from the inside. She felt a calling and, thus, quit her job to go to the Amazonian jungle. There, she remained for several years, learning different healing techniques from the plants and studying with the shamans on how to work with the plants Life then brought her from the jungle to the very north pole of Sweden. For two years, she lived together with the Sami people- an indigenous community of shamans where they shared to her their ways of living. From there, she went back to the Amazon once again to continue her Shamanic training. These last 3 years, she has been traveling around Europe, Asia, and South America, holding ceremonies and sharing the healing ways of her teachers from the Amazon through a franchise she started, named, Taita Inti. Today she is embarking on creating a global community that involves women -- bringing women together in order to help themselves to reconnect, open, heal and transform their lives. Medicine Woman is an NGO - a movement with the aim of creating a series of documentaries about medicine women around the planet -- their ancient knowledge, traditional ways of healing, and their sacred role in the connection and protection of our Mother Earth. Join Naysha as she shares to you her otherworldy experiences and wisdom she gained from her Shamanic training in the Amazon, from doing spiritual work on herself and facilitating the healing of people around the world under the guidance of the Spirit of the Plants.
