About Us

Rooted in the Amazon. Heart open to the world.

Who we are

We are a multicultural team dedicated to preserving, sharing and honouring the ancestral knowledge of traditional medicines and paths of spiritual growth. With over 35 years of experience accompanying ceremonies and personal transformation processes across many countries, we have built a body of work rooted in respect for ancestral traditions, connection with nature and the development of human consciousness.

Atipak Wasi has its first Healing Centre in Pucallpa, Peru, in the heart of the Amazon: a privileged setting that inspires encounter with ancestral wisdom and inner balance. This space was conceived as a place of learning, reflection and deep connection with the principles that foster a more conscious life in harmony with nature.

Our name comes from Quechua: "Atipak" means the one who overcomes, who surpasses; "Wasi" means home, house. We are the home of those who overcome, who transform pain into learning and fear into love.

Our mission is to share the teachings passed down through generations, nurturing respect for master plants, spiritual traditions and the sacred relationship between human beings and Mother Earth. Through ceremonies, gatherings and learning experiences, we uphold values of unity, gratitude, respect, service and reconnection with our deepest essence.

More than a healing centre, Atipak Wasi is a meeting place between cultures, knowledge and ways of life, where ancestral tradition and the pursuit of personal growth converge to inspire processes of conscious transformation and integral wellbeing.

“Our Ancestors left their wisdom in the plants and in the elements; it is up to us today to use them with awareness.”
