THE PROBLEM WE SEEK TO SOLVE

Our Mission

In the bustling landscape of modern life, individuals often find themselves yearning for a space where they can embark on a profound healing journey—one that is both deeply personal and authentically transformative. At Kene Nete Healing Center, we understand the importance of providing a sanctuary for those seeking solace from the rigors of the everyday world. However, a significant problem plagues the realm of retreats: the prevalence of standardized, "rinse and repeat" programs that prioritize revenue optimization over the unique needs of each guest.

Many individuals, in their quest for genuine healing, find themselves in settings where their journey becomes just another iteration of a well-worn script. This lack of personalized care and attention hinders the true potential of the healing process. It is this very challenge that propelled the creation of the Kene Nete Healing Center.

THE CATALYST THAT CREATED KENE NETE

Our Origin

Maestro Esteban and Maestra Orlinda, the guiding forces behind Kene Nete, began their journeys as healers within their local communities from a young age. Driven by a desire to extend their healing abilities to a broader audience, they dedicated over 15 years of their lives working in various westernized retreats in Pucallpa and Iquitos. Yet, they discovered a disconcerting reality: these retreats did not honor the sacred traditions of the Shipibo people.

Despite raising their concerns with the organizers of these retreats, their voices fell on deaf ears. It became apparent that a new approach was necessary—one rooted in the rich traditions of the Shipibo people.

AN UNLIKELY PARTNERSHIP

Our Formation

In the year 2020, a serendipitous encounter took place between Orlina, Esteban, and Urban—a Swedish individual deeply immersed in the exploration of alternative healing practices to introduce to the Western world. United by a shared vision, they embarked on the journey to create an affordable Ayahuasca retreat, situated at the heart of ancient healing traditions, just outside their home village. The objective was clear: a retreat run by the family, adhering to the sacred traditions and healing arts of the Shipibo tribe.

Months of collaboration ensued, leading to the establishment of the retreat. Logistics were meticulously organized, and in April 2021, Kene Nete welcomed its first guest—a significant milestone in the realization of their vision.

RETURNING TO THE ROOTS

Our Philosophy

At Kene Nete, our philosophy stands in stark contrast to the prevalent model of predefined retreat programs. We recognize that the true essence of healing lies in the individuality of each journey. As such, we refrain from offering generic programs. Instead, we invite you to choose the time period that aligns with your needs, allowing our skilled shamans to craft a personalized program tailored to your goals.

In doing so, we honor the ancient Shipibo way—a way that understands the potency of surrendering to the medicine and embracing the transformative power of the work. Our commitment is not merely to facilitate a retreat but to guide you on a profound, life-changing experience. Kene Nete becomes a vessel for your unique journey, a space where the roots of tradition meet the ever-evolving path of personal healing.

THE HEART OF HEALING: AYAHUASCA AND MASTER PLANT DIETA

Our Sacred Offerings

Central to the Kene Nete experience is the sacred Ayahuasca ceremony—a time-honored tradition deeply embedded in the fabric of Shipibo culture. The visionary brew, crafted from the Ayahuasca vine and other medicinal plants, serves as a portal to profound spiritual insights and transformative healing. Unlike standardized approaches, our shamans do not prescribe a fixed formula. Instead, they attune to the energies surrounding each individual, creating a unique brew that resonates with your specific journey.

In addition to Ayahuasca, Kene Nete proudly embraces the Master Plant Dieta—a practice involving the ingestion of specific medicinal plants to establish a profound connection with nature and spirit. This ancient Shipibo tradition is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor; instead, it is tailored to the unique needs and aspirations of each participant.
