Located in the beautiful country of Peru, Apu Healing Center has been founded with the goal of allowing people from all walks of life to reconnect to the source of power that lives within each one of us. The center stands behind three main core values:

1. Education: We aim to educate participants. We don't just hold ceremonies to serve plant medicine; we make a very conscious effort to educate participants on everything they are exposed to, from the rituals, traditions, and history of Peru to the depth of power and wisdom the sacred plants hold. We believe educating participants is an important part of the process, not only so they can connect with ancient wisdom but also so they can have respect for the work that the center does because it is very sacred and a privilege.

2. Intimate safe container: We hold small groups (3-5 people max for Apus retreat and 5-10 people max for Plants retreat). We keep the groups small and intimate, first and foremost to show the plants we are being respectful, mindful, and showing them reverence by assuring the participants attending have a pure intention and will honor the sacredness they hold. We also hold small groups because we understand this can be a sensitive and fragile phase in people's journey, and we want to make sure we have ample time and space for all the participants individually. We believe everyone deserves the right to be supported through this journey, and with the size of our team, we understand the maximum number of participants we can hold space for, in what we believe is the right way.

3. Empowerment: We aim to empower participants. We know that everyone has their own gift, their calling, their true purpose, and we are here to help participants navigate the journey and reclaim their power. First through healing themselves and then discovering the way they are meant to serve their community. We remind participants no one outside of themselves will hold more power than them, and that they are their own healers.

Rossanita, the Warmi spirit, is the founder of this center. Inspired by a series of transformative events during silent meditations in the high Andes mountains, she received the blessing from the Apus (spirits of the mountains) to name this center the Apu Healing Center or La casa de Sanacion de los Apus.

Having resided in the Amazonian jungle of Peru, Rossanita dedicated herself to studying, dieting, and serving sacred plant medicine under the guidance of tribal elders. She upholds the ancestral medicine path with integrity, blending sacred traditions with modern Western practices.

Rossanita creates a nurturing environment and administers sacred medicine while supporting visitors in their healing journey. With a deeply compassionate nature, her ultimate aspiration is for all to encounter the transformative power of love and self-healing through various modalities, including sacred plants.

Apu Healing Center is a sanctuary nestled within the Andes mountains, designed to harmonize the human spirit and soul with the essence of all creation. In a world characterized by constant change and a cacophony of noise, we have drifted from our innate connection to nature, leaving us feeling detached from both our surroundings and ourselves.
