Threads of Return:
Weaving the Original Mind
A Sacred Initiation with Kajuyali Tsamani & Jaba Saka (Moon Mother) in Nabi Nunhue (The Sacred Jaguar’s house), Colombia
November 22 – December 3rd, 2025
There is a memory that lives beneath the noise of the world.
A thread that calls you—not forward, but back.
Back to what you once knew.
Back to the Original Mind—uncolonized, untouched, unbroken.
This November, we gather in the heart of Colombia—on sacred land still holding the songs of the ancestors.
Guided by two extraordinary indigenous shamans—Kajuyali Tsamani, the wisdom keeper of the Muisca, and Jaba Saka (Moon Mother), a healer and ceremonial guide of Nabi Nunhue—we enter a space of deep unlearning and sacred remembering.
This is not a retreat for escape.
It is a return.
A reweaving of what was fragmented.
A sacred meeting with the Earth, the elements, your original soul… and the truth that was never truly lost.
Come. Bring your questions. Bring your longing.
Let us sit together under firelight and stars, and remember how to listen.
Let us weave the threads of return.
Jaba Saka -Moon Mother-
Jaba Saka, lovingly known as Moon Mother, is a ceremonial guide, medicine woman, and co-founder of Nabi Nunhue. Her name honors our Mother Moon in the Kogi language, and she is recognized as the mother of Nabi Nunhue itself.
She was entrusted with the sacred task of guiding women in the art of making offerings during the time of the moon, at an altar consecrated by grandmothers from various native traditions. Jaba Saka is the bearer of the Wakan Chanupa (Sacred Pipe) and offers Inipi (Sweat Lodge) ceremonies in the Lakota tradition, under the guidance of Grandmother Tunka Hota Winyan (Sacred Grey Stone Woman).
She cares for the medicinal plant garden of Nabi Nunhue, having received traditional healing knowledge from Mamita Miriam Aranda, a healer of the Pi Urek people. Jaba Saka also co-leads the ceremonies of the sacred traditions held at Nabi Nunhue alongside Kajuyali, and she serves as the coordinator of the Pachamilli Museum, which preserves and shares ancestral wisdom on the land.
She walks beside Kajuyali as a co-keeper of the fire—calling us back to the sacred feminine and the original instructions whispered by the Earth.

Ceremony as the Soul’s Weaving
This is not a typical retreat.
It is a ceremonial return, held in the Sacred House of the Jaguar, designed to guide you
through a 12-day soul journey of purification, remembrance, and reconnection with the
Original Mind.
Each day is a prayer.
Each ceremony a doorway.
Each teaching a thread in the sacred weaving of your becoming.
The Ceremonial Flow Includes:
Two Ayahuasca Ceremonies: Enter the cosmic womb with sacred songs, prayers, and silence.
A Yopo Ceremony: Experience deep activation and vision in the Sikuani tradition.
Two Lakota Inipi Ceremonies (Sweat Lodge): Rebirth through the womb of the Earth.
A Day Trip to Nature: Ancestral purification with the spirit of water.
Two Herbal Baths: Cleanse and harmonize with native plant medicines.
Cosmological Teachings: Gather around Kajuyali's fire to hear living ancestral wisdom.
Integration Circles: Rest, reflect, and root what you’ve received.
This is a sacred invitation to unlearn, release, and return to the simplicity of your true self.
Decolonizing the Western Mind
This retreat is a response to a deeper call—a call to remember what existed before the Western mind split body from soul, spirit from matter, Earth from divinity.
Colonization was not only external—it was internal. It shaped our thinking, our relating, our seeing. To decolonize the Western mind means to reconnect with the Original Mind—the one that sees all life as sacred, that listens, that honors, that remembers.
Kajuyali’s teachings are born from both scholarship and ceremony. He himself journeyed from being a university professor—steeped in Western academia—to immersing himself in the Original Way of living. Through years of intense experiences among ancient indigenous communities, he underwent a profound personal transformation. He teaches not from concept, but from experience.
“We are meant to become a growth of Life.”
This simple truth is the heartbeat of his teachings. \
He carries rare and essential guidance for those who long to live whole again.

Meet the Shamans
Kajuyali Tsamani
Born of the Magdalena River basin in Colombia and carrying the ancestral bloodline of the Panches people, Kajuyali Tsamani is more than a shaman—he is a bridge between worlds.
A former professor of anthropology and linguistics, he was adopted by the Kogi Mamo, Bernando Mamatacan, and instructed to "go into the jungle, and learn what it means to truly live."
For nearly two decades, he lived among the Huitoto-Muinane, Kamëntsá, and other indigenous lineages, receiving the sacred teachings of Coca, Tobacco, Ayahuasca, and Yopo—not from one path, but from many. He carries rare wisdom that unites multiple traditions, as his elders instructed.
He later received the Sacred Pipe (Chanunpa Wakan) from Lakota wisdom keepers and founded Nabi Nunhue—"The Sacred House of the Jaguar"—as a living altar of ceremony and soul initiation.
