where ancient medicine meets modern awakening

Honoring tradition • Expanding awareness • Transforming hearts.

About Us

Aracari is a private cultural and educational non-profit foundation based in Panama, dedicated to protect, promote, facilitate, and honor sacred medicine culture, knowledge and traditions.

Created to support the continuation of these traditions and to offer responsible guidance to those seeking these paths. Through education, cultural collaboration, and guided experiences, we support the responsible transmission of these teachings and help participants engage with them safely, respectfully, and with proper context.

Our work honors the lineages, the knowledge keepers, and the medicines that have guided human transformation for generations.

Our Story

Aracari grew out of a desire to honor and uplift the sacred medicine traditions that have shaped countless lives across the Amazon. After years walking these paths and learning from experienced guides, our founders recognized a calling: to help preserve these practices and make them accessible in a responsible, respectful way.

What started as individual journeys soon became a shared mission. We saw how many people seek these medicines without proper preparation, context, or integration — and how essential it is to uphold the cultural frameworks from which these practices originate.

Aracari exists to protect these traditions, promote their responsible use, and create safe, informed spaces for those called to this work. Our story is rooted in service, culture, and the belief that sacred medicine must be honored, not commercialized or diluted.

Through programs, retreats, and intercultural collaborations, Aracari seeks to keep ancestral wisdom alive — not as a memory of the past, but as a living practice for the present and the future.

How It All Started

I first encountered the path of medicine in 2018. It was the beginning of a devoted journey to heal my life — to face the emotional and mental wounds that had kept me in a place of despair. For years, I battled suicidal thoughts, depression, and moments of self-harm, carrying deep anger toward myself and my family. Those wounds led me into nearly a decade of drug addiction and self-destruction.

In my first medicine encounter, my intention was clear: "To heal my relationship with my family — and may everything I heal within myself ripple back to them."

What I was shown changed my life. The medicine revealed how I had hurt the people I loved — the lies, manipulation, and distance I had created over those ten years. It was painful, yet profoundly liberating. It became the doorway to real transformation.

I walked that path with sincerity and commitment — until, during the pandemic, confusion returned. I lost sight of the healing path and fell again into my addictions, deeper than ever before. That descent led to a car accident — one of those accidents you simply don't survive unless something beyond reason is protecting you.

The very next morning, I received a message that shook me awake: "Your path is the medicine. This is your life."

From that moment, I came back — fully. I surrendered once again to the teachings of Mother Earth, to the silence, to the wisdom carried by the plants and the elders. Over time, I began to serve — humbly — as a facilitator and student of this sacred way.

In one of those medicine encounters, I received another message: "You will live from and for this." I asked, "How will I do that?" And almost miraculously, that same year, doors began to open. I was invited to serve with medicine teams in private settings, gaining the experience and trust needed to develop my own way — one rooted in simplicity, humility, and love.

Eventually, I felt the unmistakable calling: "It is time." And from that moment, Aracari was born — a movement to rekindle the hearts of those thirsty for truth, to awaken to who they truly are, and to inspire them to live from that awakened reality.

Our Values

Integrity and Reciprocity

We believe that every act of giving must restore balance. Aracari operates transparently, ensuring that every offering, donation, and exchange nurtures both people and the planet.

Cultural Preservation

We walk with reverence for the ancestral knowledge of Indigenous peoples and spiritual lineages across the world. Our work fosters collaboration, not appropriation — protecting sacred traditions through education, respect, and co-creation.

Inner Truth

The deepest teacher lives within. We cultivate silence, presence, and direct experience as ways to remember who we truly are — beyond identity, belief, or conditioning.

Unity

We see no separation between ancient knowledge and modern discovery. Evolution begins when heart and mind, intuition and reason, tradition and innovation, are reunited in harmony.

Vision • Mission • Purpose

Vision

To contribute to the rebirth of a more awakened humanity — one connected to its spiritual essence and capable of integrating science, art, and ancestral wisdom into a single language of evolution.

Mission

To preserve, revitalize, and share the living traditions of ancestral knowledge through education, cultural dialogue, and transformative experiences that reconnect individuals and communities with the essence of life.

Purpose

To awaken remembrance — of our connection to the Earth, to one another, and to the divine intelligence that sustains all life.

Through our programs and initiatives, we create spaces where people can return to truth, cultivate inner awareness, and embody compassion, integrity, and unity as guiding principles of existence.

In doing so, we seek to contribute to the restoration of harmony on the planet, serving as a bridge between the ancient and the modern, the visible and the unseen.
