About

Ronin Jointi - Heart of the Anaconda

Healing Center

About Our Project

  • Most ayahuasca healing centers geared toward Westerners are run by for-profit companies who bring in indigenous healers as members of staff. Ronin Jointi is a family owned and operated by the maestros themselves. Involving their extended family, including their four children, Ronin Jointi is a place of true healing, undisturbed by Western influences.

  • All donations go directly to Ronin Jointi to help build critical infrastructure, protect the land and expand the jungle by planting master plants.

The Center - “Heart of the Anaconda”

Constructed according to the vision of Silvia and Noe, this intimate and unassuming retreat center lies in the heart of Peru, about 90 minutes outside of Pucallpa. Tucked away near a beautiful laguna, surrounded by nature and enveloped in the sounds of the jungle, this site offers a remarkably pure and authentic immersion into traditional plant medicine.

Like many traditional retreat centers in Peru, Ronin Jointi (which means “The Heart of the Anaconda” in the native Shipibo language) is rather simple.

There is sparse electricity, little to no cell service and no wifi. There is no hot water. There is little here that our ancient ancestors would not recognize.

The humble amenities at this site offer you a chance to disconnect from the tumult and uncertainty of our world and turn your gaze inwards. The jungle invites you to slow down, to see Mother Earth with fresh eyes, and to breathe with the trees.

Undisturbed nature, the sounds of the jungle, stunning sunrises over the laguna, sky full of stars, walks through the forest, nights in community by the fire, held in ceremony … this is a raw and deep connection to nature itself, to the medicine, the Maestros and to the core of who you are.
