Total Immersion: The Sacred Art and Alchemy of Yagé (Ayahuasca) Preparation in Mocoa, Putumayo
With Taita Samith Osorio, traditional doctor. and Carmen Jessenia Giagrekudo
November 14 - 21, 2026
In the jungle tradition of Putumayo, Colombia, Yagé (Ayahuasca) is not simply considered a beverage; it is a living being, a spiritual entity with whom a relationship of mutual respect is established. Most Westerners only know Yagé from the perspective of a participant in a nighttime ceremony. However, the true journey of transformation, profound learning, and understanding of the medicine begins much earlier: in the home where the “Remedy” is born.
This specialized event in Mocoa is an invitation focused solely on medicine men, conscious seekers, therapists, ethnobotanists, and individuals with a mature spiritual calling who wish to experience the complete process of Amazonian alchemy. During this gathering, you will not be a passive observer. You will become a guardian of the fire and an active link in a lineage that has kept this recipe intact for thousands of years. You will learn the physical effort, mental prayer, and technical conditions necessary to extract the spirit of the jungle and manifest it in the sacred remedy of the Yagé vine: (the vine of God)
