We are a community of plant-loving healers, artists, educators, and therapists who practice deep listening and learning from Nature. Guided by Pachamama, the spirit world, and our own intuition, we cultivate harmony, healing, growth, and liberation for ourselves and our communities.
We honor the wisdom and teachings shared by our Indigenous mentors from the Amazon and the Andes, integrating ancestral and folk practices to heal from individual and collective trauma. Through intentional time with plants, the elements, and the land, we realign with our sacred purpose as stewards of the Earth and bearers of her wisdom.
Our Modality
Medicine Spirit Initiations
Medicine Spirit Initiations (MSIs) are the core modality we practice and facilitate, informing many of our offerings. These initiatory rites with plants and other earth medicines are guided and held in ceremonial space.
Instructed by the traditional Amazonian Vegetalista practice of dietas, we provide integrated protocols adjusted for application in social and urban environments, as well as traditional dietas held in the Peruvian Amazon.
MSIs offer a highly effective and empowering space for healing, remembering, and reclaiming our innate wisdom, wildness, ancestral contracts, and reconnection with nature.
What People Are Saying
“Working with Francisca was life-changing.
Her knowledge is wide, deep and rich, and that breadth of experience was apparent in her way of working with me as a whole person, along with various plant allies/herbal medicines. She is a very special woman and practitioner, who embodies strong, rooted integrity, sensitive compassionate care, and playful creativity. I would whole-heartedly recommend working with her to anyone who is asking for positive change and more wholeness in their lives.”

“Through monthly rituals, Francisca teaches us how to create sacred space for ourselves within the chaos of daily life, sharing with us time honored ceremonies that bring one into union with the elements. Her class offers a time of pause, reflection, growth, connection, and self-love. Francisca guides us as we build relationships with plants whose physical and spiritual healing powers are deep and potent. Francisca is a true teacher: she imparts intricate knowledge and guidance on her students and then calls upon us to integrate her teachings into our lives and to carry the rituals forth in unique and personal ways. It is truly an honor to be a student of Francisca’s and not only share in her wisdom but in her passion, warmth, depth, and grace. I am eternally grateful for this sacred offering.”
