The Resonance of the Inner World

You work on yourself. You read, you pay attention, you try to be present. And still there's a quiet weight, hard to untangle: as if your body, your heart, and your mind lived in three separate rhythms, none of them with time for the others.

The curanderos of the Andes don't call this a personal failing. When the above, the now, and the within fall out of alignment, a person loses ayni — the reciprocal flow that connects you to yourself, to your relationships, and to the Earth. The ancient tradition doesn't say “fix yourself.” It says: return. To your body, to your heart, to your own silence.

That is what we invite you to, for three days.

Sumaq Kausay means, in Quechua, the beautiful, whole life lived in harmony. Not a goal to be reached, but a state you can find your way back to.

This retreat is a slow, deep return home. On the path of the sacred plants — the Grandfather and the Grandmother — you step into the wider space of awareness, while your body is nourished with living vegan food and heart-made raw desserts. The gentle heart-opening of ceremonial cacao brings it all into harmony, and so your journey becomes whole.

You're not coming for a lecture, or for one more theory. You're coming for an experience that happens in your body.

The Andean worldview thinks in three worlds. Hanampacha is the upper world, the whole seen from the height of the condor. Kaypacha is the here and now, where the puma walks with an earthbound strength. Ukupacha is the inner world, where Amarú, the serpent, guards the deep layers of transformation.

These three are not to be separated, but tuned to one another again. That is exactly what the arc of the ceremonies serves: slowly, gradually, with steady accompaniment, it leads you through your own depths, so that in the end you rise not as less, but as a whole person.

Throughout the retreat you are surrounded by the kitchen of vegan chef Varga István, where taste itself becomes ceremony. Living, colorful, seasonal plant-based dishes arrive — fresh, crisp, full of aroma. Handmade raw vegan desserts: cacao, vanilla, dates, and walnuts in their full depth, without sugar and without compromise.

The kitchen is an open space: you can watch the food come to life, or join in — even shaping energy balls. And so you can continue this quality at home, every participant receives a gift online vegan course, with videos and recipes.

Your body is nourished and replenished with fresh plant-based food. Your heart opens in the cacao and in the green wisdom of the Grandfather. Your soul remembers in the deep, black mirror of the Grandmother. And your mind grows quiet, so that a new space can be born within you.

Jaime is an initiated curandero, tabaquero, and yachac of the Andean Quechua tradition — a keeper of the rare and deeply respected lineage of healers who work with the sacred tobacco. He was born in Huancayo, at three thousand five hundred meters, where from childhood the elders of his culture initiated him into the sacred Andean knowledge. He studied in Mexico, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Peru, for seven years at the side of his teacher and friend.

For more than twenty-five years he has led ceremonies, and since 1999 he has lived in Europe, weaving the ancient Andean worldview together with our present-day European life. Alongside his work as a curandero, he is a professional practitioner of traditional and ritual South American dances. His style is marked by deep tradition, humor, love, and an earthy lightness.

🍽️ Varga István — vegan chef, with whom the meal itself becomes ceremony. 🌸 Várdai Gabriella — SoulCoach, who accompanies you in the turn inward, and brings gift teachings and the SoulVibes game during the day.

Bring an object that matters to you: a stone you chose with your own hand, an amulet. It doesn't matter where you found it — in a forest, on a mountain, on a riverbank. During the ceremony we attune it, and afterward you can keep using it. If you like, you may also bring an instrument, a drum or a harmonica.

Write to us by email or message. We'll confirm your booking and send you the transfer details. Your place becomes final the moment the deposit arrives — whoever books first holds the place. We then send you the preparation document, which contains everything you need before the ceremony: how to prepare in body and spirit, what to bring, and how to choose the object you'll attune.
