Sapan Inka is a center dedicated to exploring and researching consciousness through a holistic, transpersonal approach. We host healing retreats that blend ancestral Amazonian wisdom with modern transpersonal and psychedelic psychotherapy.
We are committed to preserving and responsibly sharing the use of Ayahuasca medicine, honoring the legacy of our ancestors. Our retreats aim to awaken your inner healing potential by fostering a deep connection with your psyche and facilitating dialogue with your Higher Self or spiritual essence. Ayahuasca serves as a powerful tool for physical, emotional, and spiritual purification, expanding your consciousness and unlocking archetypal wisdom. This process of assimilation and integration promotes profound personal growth and healing.
Our retreat center has been on a journey of growth and evolution for the past 23 years. Our mission is to explore consciousness, promote psycho-spiritual development, and foster holistic health. To achieve this, we’ve developed a therapeutic system that combines Ayahuasca ceremonies, rooted in the Amazonian-Shipibo tradition, with transpersonal psychotherapy. Our ceremonies focus exclusively on energetic and spiritual dimensions, while integration sessions help participants process and understand their expanded states of consciousness.
Erik Hendrick and Nilda Quispe, driven by their personal healing journeys, encountered the wisdom of Shipibo curanderos. This transformative encounter led them to embark on a rigorous initiation process, becoming authorized guides for Ayahuasca ceremonies. Over many years, they dedicated themselves to mastering the use of medicinal plants and delving into Amazonian and Andean traditional medicine, particularly entheogenic plants. Trained directly by Shipibo maestros curanderos, they now share their knowledge and experience with others.
Erik Hendrick holds a Master’s degree in Transpersonal Psychology and is currently pursuing a PhD in Human Development at the Anthropological University of Guadalajara. Along with Nilda Quispe, Erik is deeply committed to exploring and understanding the complexities of human nature. His ongoing education encompasses the study of mythology from various cultures, comparative religions, mysticism, wisdom traditions, depth psychology, transpersonal psychology, and psychedelic science. Both Erik and Nilda are engaged in continuous psycho-spiritual development.
At Sapan Inka Center, we uphold the highest ethical and professional standards in our work. We approach the organization of Ayahuasca retreats with great responsibility, prioritizing the holistic health and well-being of our participants. Our retreats are conducted in a safe and supportive environment, with guides fully dedicated to the care and support of each individual. Our work addresses multiple dimensions: physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual.
We recognize that we are living in a critical period of the 21st century, marked by profound global challenges. Humanity is experiencing widespread massification, a crisis of values, and a sense of collective dissociation, teetering on the edge of self-destruction. Yet, we also acknowledge that this era presents unprecedented opportunities for spiritual and personal growth.
At Sapan Inka, we believe it is our responsibility to contribute to this transformative process. We are committed to offering our best to facilitate the spiritual development of individuals and, by extension, the collective evolution of humanity. Our work is a small but significant effort towards achieving the spiritual well-being of our planet.
