Taita Carlos
Companions of the indigenous, traditional medicines Ayahuasca and Yagé
For more than ten years, Taita Carlos has dedicated himself to the path of traditional medicine. He spent a period of his life living in seclusion in the rainforest, where he deepened his understanding of the teachings, science, and traditions of Ayahuasca alongside indigenous elders and keepers of knowledge.
After years of preparation, discipline, and service, he received their permission and blessing to share this medicine in a respectful and conscious manner. Since then, he has guided spiritual and transformative processes in various cities and countries, honoring the teachings he received as well as the sacred connection to nature.
„His path forms a bridge between the wisdom of the elders, the rainforest, and the hearts of those seeking a journey of connection and consciousness.“
Jennifer
Psychologist and Art Therapist.
Guide to the Sacred Feminine and the Medicine Path.
As a psychologist and art therapist, Jennifer supports healing processes and personal growth through women’s circles, ceremonial cacao, and practices that foster connection with the body, emotions, and spirit.
For her, the journey with the medicine Ayahuasca or Yagé serves as a school of listening, sensitivity, and transformation. In this work, she combines art and plant wisdom as forms of expression that can foster self-discovery and holistic well-being.
„With a loving and conscious presence, she holds space for individuals to reconnect with their own essence and open themselves to the wisdom of the heart.“
Oliver Hilmar Ganz
A companion to the integration process and a bridge between lived experience and everyday life.
For over ten years, Oliver has dedicated himself to his own inner journey a path that led him from a conventional career to somatic work and Gestalt therapy. In recent years, he has gained profound personal experience with the medicine, learning to approach it with deep respect. At Sierra Ancestral, he guides participants through the sharing and integration processes and holds space the day after each ceremony, allowing their experiences to take root, be understood, and transform into genuine change. His training as a Gestalt-therapist and his own healing journey enable him to hold space with presence and without judgment for whatever each individual brings with them.
„His work consists of bridging the gap between medicine and life: guiding the way back to oneself through presence and listening.“
