Yasha
Dieta: Marusa, Niwe Rao

From a young age, Yasha was captivated by metaphysics, often choosing to daydream about the nature of reality rather than focus on traditional studies. Although Yasha pursued a degree in business administration, there was always a sense of something missing, a lack of clarity about the true path in life. In 2017, Yasha decided to try Ayahuasca, initially thinking it might be similar to mushrooms, perhaps just stronger. Little did Yasha know that this experience would be life-changing.

Following a period of travel in Nepal and India, Yasha found a deep calling to the Amazon rainforest, seeking a more profound understanding of Ayahuasca. The more Yasha connected with the medicine, the more it revealed about the self. For Yasha, Ayahuasca is not just a tool for healing but a crucial element in spiritual development. When asked what Ayahuasca has brought to life, Yasha often reflects on a poem by Rumi:

“You have no idea how hard I’ve looked for a gift to bring You. Nothing seemed right. What’s the point of bringing gold to the gold mine, or water to the ocean. Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient. It’s no good giving my heart and my soul because you already have these. So I’ve brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me.” ― Rumi

Initiated by Peruvian healers into the tradition of Shipibo Curanderismo, Yasha is a dedicated student of plant medicine and Shakta Tantra (Sri Kula). Yasha is also training with ICEERS and is currently working towards certification in integration and harm reduction. Through this journey, Yasha hopes to be the friend you need on your path with medicine, and perhaps, in life.
