Heart of Pachamama
About our work.
Mariela Salazer works with plantmedicine since 15 years. She is initiated from taita Victoriano fom the Siona Tribe to serve the sacred medicine from the Jungle.
Walking the Path of the Heart
For many years, we have been working with sacred plant medicines from the heart of the jungle, guided by deep wisdom and ancestral traditions. Mariela has been initiated by Taita Victoriano of the Siona tribe in Colombia and has worked with various indigenous groups, integrating their teachings with her own profound experiences with the plants.
​
At Heart of Pachamama, we work with Ayahuasca, Bufo Alvarius, Kambo, and Rapé, honoring their power and the wisdom they offer. Our team is a diverse group of therapists, coaches, and musicians—each deeply dedicated to this path. Every member has undergone extensive training with the plants and carries years of experience, ensuring a grounded and authentic approach to this sacred work.
​
We walk the path of the warrior, the path of the heart. True transformation requires courage: to face what has been hidden, to embrace the beauty, and to surrender to the medicine. Our role is not to interfere but to hold a safe and sacred space, allowing you to connect with the medicine and, most importantly, the medicine within you.
​
A Holistic Approach to Healing
​
Our retreats go beyond ceremony. We believe in strengthening the body, mind, and spirit as one. Physical exercise plays a key role— a strong, healthy body provides the foundation for deep spiritual work. We connect with the elements, awakening our energetic body, remembering how to listen—to the fire, the sun, the wind, and the whispers of the earth.
​
Integration is essential. After each ceremony, we gather in the morning to share and process experiences. Mariela offers deep psychotherapeutic integration, guiding you through whatever arises in your journey.
​
Yet the real ceremony begins when you return home. This is where transformation takes root. To support you in integrating your experience into daily life, we offer integration support and also one-on-one integration sessions with trained coaches and therapists, available. Though this is not part of our retreats, we offer it because we believe no one should walk this path alone.
​
With an open heart and the strength of a warrior, we walk together.

With love,
Mariela Salazar and the heart of Pachamama Team.
