Pandorita

THE STORY BEHIND THE WONDERFUL PATH

Two brothers from Switzerland were fully immersed in life. Both occupied with professional Ice Hockey, but during occasional stops at the bar, essential questions kept arising. What is it all about? What are we doing here? Does any of this make sense? The questions remained unanswered, and the routine continued until a good friend took them on a sacred ritual in the Swiss mountains. A Colombian shaman opened the door to the spiritual world for them through the powerful plant Ayahuasca. The next day, they were speechless. They were overwhelmed by the night. A sense of unprecedented peace washed over them. Why isn't anyone talking about this? Everyone should have this experience. This should be on the front page of the New York Times, they thought.

​

About nine months later, they found themselves in the Amazon, surrounded by other pathfinders and medicine people of the Shipibo tribe. They experienced a transformative time. Their hearts, bodies, and minds opened up to new dimensions. Their questions were slowly but surely being answered. They had arrived on their soul path. The joy was immense, and their relationships with the sacred plants and their medicine people were deepened. In the following years, they followed the call of the plants and traveled to Peru several times.

​

One of the brothers once stayed in the Amazonian plant kingdom for nine months and went on several plant diets with Bari Kene, alias Papa Horacio, a powerful and very experienced

Shipibo medicine man. They grew fond of the people there. They bought 30 hectares of rainforest outside Pucallpa. Today, members of the Shipibo tribe live there and continue their old way of life. By building this medicine village, the two brothers wanted to offer other people the opportunity to pass through this gateway to an earth-based spirituality. On Ani Shinan, people have been connecting deeply with their souls since 2012 with the help of plant-based diets guided by the Shipibo medicine people. Unlike workshops, diets are a more time-consuming way to learn from the plants.

The search for an ideal workshop location eventually led them to Costa Rica. In this oasis on the tranquil Pacific Ocean, framed by primary rainforest, participants can fully focus on their personal development and let themselves be touched by the breathtaking nature of this spectacular place to experience an instant boost of well-being and clarity. This paradise in the Piedras Blancas National Park is only accessible by boat and is located in the midst of the highest biodiversity on our planet. Since 2021 they organize holistic plant medicine workshops on Pandorita.

​

Together with their beloved wives and a longtime friend, they have created an oasis where all relationships can be strengthened. The relationship with oneself and with others, the

connection to nature and to the universe. It is a place full of medicinal plants, connected to the beauty of the animal world and the magic of the sea. Thanks to the close relationship with the Shipibo tribe, they now organize transformative workshops to inspire and empower souls. The facilitators are well trained, empathetic and highly skilled in the use of plant medicine and guided by a loving spirit. The Costa Rican staff on site are the icing on the cake. Thanks to their warmth, everyone immediately feels at home.

​

To strengthen the greater community of all life, we practice permaculture on the land and plant corals. Further projects will follow. Pandorita is a gift from Great Spirit and all Pandorians try to honor this gift to the best of their knowledge and conscience in order to carry out their task as land guardians with a high level of responsibility.
