Brittany

Brittany has been deeply drawn to natural medicines, psychedelics, and spirituality for over a decade. After struggling with depression, anxiety, and feeling stuck, ayahuasca changed her life when she first sat with the medicine in 2017. This profound experience ignited her curiosity to learning about plant medicines, both through personal exploration and under the guidance of skilled facilitators and curanderos who supported her healing journey. Her path accelerated when she was offered a position at one of the world’s most respected ayahuasca centers. Over several years, she immersed herself in the work, sitting in ceremonies three nights a week and creating a safe, welcoming space for others to progress in their own healing journeys. Now a seasoned facilitator, Brittany has participated in hundreds of ayahuasca ceremonies and brings a wealth of experience to her practice.

As a certified yin yoga teacher, Brittany offers guests a practice of embodied integration deeply informed by her work with ayahuasca. She is a co-owner of Sowa Charana ayahuasca retreats and is currently training in the VITA Sex, Love, Relationship Coach program, further expanding her ability to support others in their personal growth and transformation.

Lou

Lou is a compassionate and dedicated plant medicine facilitator who has guided hundreds of guests toward the deep level of healing they traveled all the way to Peru to receive. Former rockstar/party animal extraordinaire, Lou chose a different path in 2019, completing an intense martial arts training at a Shaolin temple in China and a 400-hour meditation teacher training. Since then, he has dedicated his life to working with wachuma (the San Pedro cactus), spending two years as a facilitator and apprentice at Casa de la Gringa - one of the oldest and most trusted wachuma healing centers in the world, located near Cusco, Peru.

In addition to his work with plant medicine, Lou is a skilled reiki practitioner, qigong instructor, and meditation teacher, bringing a holistic approach to his practice and a deep sense of care to every guest he supports.

Kevin

Kevin has an innate talent for staying present and centered in any situation—a quality any psychedelic facilitator aspires to embody. With an rich background in meditation practices and a deep, respectful understanding of their traditions, Kevin’s calming presence naturally helps those around him find their own sense of balance and ease.

For the past several years, Kevin has been working closely with ayahuasca, gaining experience at modern retreat centers and through “dieting” with Shipibo maestros deep in the jungle. In addition to his facilitation skills, Kevin is a brilliant chef who crafts intentional, healthy, and (dare we say) delicious meals using ayahuasca-diet-approved ingredients, making him an invaluable part of the team.

Kevin is also a co-owner of Sowa Charana ayahuasca retreats, where he continues to bring his expertise, care, and creativity to every guest’s journey.
