Help us actualize our vision :)

*** this is getting shared widely with people we haven't met before, so we just wanted to briefly introduce ourselves for those "meeting us" this way (if you already know us, skip to the 2nd paragraph ;)). //
We are Eugene and Angelica - Originally from Omaha, NE in the US.  We've been together since 2013, and have shared healing work through Reiki and Channeled piano music ever since our hearts first crossed paths.  We came to the Sacred Valley of Peru in 2015 and were humbly but miraculously moved into working with A.y.a.h.u.a.s.c.a medicine to help the world in this time.  This powerful medicine has been an incredible catalyst for us; a teacher, guide, and companion in every aspect of our own healing journeys, as well as a force of indescribable transformation in countless others that have come to her in true humility and determination. 

We have been serving this medicine in Peru over the last 3 years, strictly in private settings - to cultivate a deeply nurturing way of working that we would carry with us when we felt ready to begin working with small groups. 

We also just recently got engaged and feel ready to spring forward in all aspects of our life!  So we are creating this fundraiser in lieu of a traditional "wedding registry" to raise money for expanding our work and non-profit healing center.  Thank you for taking the time to look at this <3  ***

// We are reaching out to all of our friends, family, community around the world, those of you who have been touched by our work and music throughout the years . . . to come together as you are able, to help us enter into this next step of our vision.

Whether this takes the form of a donation (nothing is too little!), sharing this campaign, or a simple message of support - all will be welcomed with deep gratitude.

The immediate project we are trying to fund is a Maloka - a simple, round, standalone structure that will serve as a dedicated Ceremony space outside of our living area, for our continued work with the medicine.  It will be built of mostly natural materials: Adobe, Eucalyptus Wood, Straw, Bamboo, and some Ceramic/Laminate flooring, all of which we are sourcing and purchasing.


⛰ >>  As of this moment's writing -- The exterior has been completed and the laminate flooring, installation of lighting, installation of the doors and windows, and the bathrooms are all that remain.  The piano will be shipped from Lima as soon as the ceramic is installed!


We plan to slightly expand our work to accommodate regular small groups of 4-8 people in our ceremonies - as well as providing a free space to a beautiful indigenous Shipibo shaman we recently connected with and to generate income to help fund some long-awaited community projects, here in the local mountain community of Cuyo Grande where we live. 

There are many people in Peru working with plant medicines from various backgrounds and offering varying group sizes - from private to nearly 100 people.  We have noticed, however, in our time here . . . that there is a definitive lack of emphasis on integration work (the care and support for people in the processes AFTER the ceremony)!  As well as a noticeable deficit of directing proceeds from medicine work towards supporting the local communities (and in particular, towards replanting the precious Vine and preserving land where it grows, etc,!!). . .  Both of these aspects of the work are extremely important to us - and this is an area that we are dedicated to remedy and address. 

We have kept our focus on private ceremonies - for individuals and couples only - over the last 2.5 years, to cultivate a deeply focused, nurturing, and supportive way of facilitating.
Now the time has come and that calling has finally expanded, as we have felt ready to apply our same approach to small groups while still maintaining this same level of pure integrity to our path and the medicines.  There is so much we want to provide and contribute to that's outside of ourselves - but for this, we need to be able to generate income beyond our overhead. . . so that we can share in these ways.  We are hoping that by gently expanding this work through building a maloka, we can begin to actualize this.

And also, you are welcome to connect with us directly, to feel into how aligned this project and our vision is with you.

The second thing we are trying to fund is getting an acoustic piano for Eugene to play in the ceremonies - which is quite a feat in itself here!  The only place in the country that has acoustic pianos for sale is the capital city of Lima, which is about 30 hours away by car, and we will have to pay a large fee to have a piano transported the entire way.  But, this vision has been a long-time coming . . . and we have seen time and time again what a profound difference the instrument and the channeled music makes in the ceremony space (as some of you who have worked with us have seen :)).  How deep of a healing is able to come through for all with this unique medium... and how great of a gift it would be to upgrade our current electric keyboard into a true, acoustic ceremonial instrument!

This has been Eugene's dream ever since we started on this path some time ago -- and bridging this gap will mark an unprecedented evolution in our healing work and all that we are able to provide for our clients in the future. >> We are undergoing tremendous transformations within us, that are preparing us for what is to come, and are incredibly excited for this next chapter of our journey together.  As we extend our hand humbly in surrender and asking how to be of service to all.   And ask, in turn. . . for your assistance -  in any of the above ways that may be possible for you!
