Voices of Transformation

Before sharing my experience, I want to express my gratitude to those who helped me find this path — especially the elder brothers of the medicine, Titu Amaru Salqa (Christian) and Illapu Qori Mallqui (Roberto), from the Apukuna School, where I discovered the healing power of Wachuma and other master plants. I was coming out of a difficult cycle, struggling with alcohol and cigarette use, and I felt a deep desire for change. A friend brought me to the school, and that very day, I had my first encounter with the sacred medicines. I clearly remember when they gently said to me: “Relax, brother, everything is going to be alright.” I felt, for the first time, that I had a place where I could open up, heal, and awaken my consciousness. Their guidance was key in my process — with respect, strength, and deep dedication to the path, they helped me release burdens, find clarity, and regain trust in myself. My first Wachuma ceremony marked my rebirth. It was such a profound experience that even days later, I was still integrating what I had felt. I realized that healing wasn’t just about quitting a habit but about reconnecting with the Earth, with energy, with my purpose. Through this path, I also awakened my connection with music. I learned to play wind instruments and to listen with my heart. Today, I protect a conservation area in the Manu Biosphere, guided by the wisdom of Mother Nature and the master plants. I will always be deeply grateful.

My name is Suely, and I have joined and participated in Ayahuasca and Wachuma ceremonies, as well as offerings to the Earth, alongside our teacher and brother Christian. My experience with him and his team has been so profound and professional that I have never stopped attending their ceremonies, whether in Lima or Cusco. After undergoing a deep process of healing and cleansing, I was able to give my life a second chance and offer my son the peace and strength we needed to continue our journey together. It wasn’t an easy path, but I felt tremendous trust in Christian, his work, and his entire team. They have helped me recover and, most importantly, continue practicing medicine — now, for the benefit of my brothers and sisters. It’s my personal way of giving thanks for all the love poured into each ceremony and ritual, the affection shown by his wife and daughters, and the incredible advice shared by the officiants, each one offering something new to learn. I believe the word "recommend" doesn’t fully express what I truly feel for such a beautiful healing group. Without a doubt, and with a grateful heart, I would invite anyone seeking deep healing, seeking healing in light, and a highly professional practice to meet this incredible teacher — and, above all, a wonderful brother on the path. I am deeply grateful for the way he taught me to change my life and, in doing so, gave me a new way to help others.

My first encounter with the medicine was several years ago. At first, I was afraid — I didn’t understand the idea or the purpose of working with plants. Over time, I realized that what truly scared me was looking deeper into myself and facing my fears and pain. This year, I knew it was time to leave everything behind and start again. I entered the ceremonies with peace, letting go, surrendering, opening all my senses, ready to receive everything the medicine had prepared for me. I had a magical experience. I was sure that Christian is my teacher and that I could trust him completely. I let myself be carried away by his songs and music; he showed me the sky and the stars. I saw where my soul belongs. I was able to transform my pain and fears, see them, recognize them as part of myself. I freed myself from the burdens my soul carried, and now I am free — stronger, full of love and happiness. I understood that the medicine is a sacred spirit, a wise spirit, a teacher. And I know I can entrust my body to Christian’s safe hands while I travel through the infinite. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Master. Thank you, Universe, for allowing me to meet you again in this life. Thank you for your wisdom, patience, love, and calmness, Chris.

Christian is the embodiment of divine and angelic energy here on Earth! I felt the power of his energy during the Ayahuasca ceremony — the balance and harmony he carries within himself, creating a space of safety, protection, and trust, while fostering deep inner transformation. His voice and music have an impressive and skillful mastery over the power of the plants, guiding us deep within ourselves, removing the many masks we wear in society — sometimes even in front of ourselves — and leading us towards a profound inner transformation on the path of connecting with our true essence, with love and acceptance. Thank you, Chris, for sharing your energy, wisdom, and support in my process!
