A living community. An ongoing conversation.

WHY THIS, WHY NOW?

More connection.
A place to belong.

We can be connected to the whole world and still miss having people to turn to.

Ocoyai is a place to return each week: ask an elder, reflect on life, and get to know one another.

Our online community connects to a home taking shape in Antioquia—where Cabildo Zeríya is building a place for Murui families, shared work, and living traditions.

THE MAMBEO

How do we live
what we learn?

How we speak. How we listen. How we care for one another.

Our mambe circle is a time to reflect on the week with Josafat, drawing on his Murui tradition and relationship with Mambe and Ambil.

Bring a question or simply listen. When there are no questions, we explore a planned topic.

BEFORE YOU JOIN

A few things
to know.

Do I need experience with plant medicine?

No. Bring questions from everyday life, or simply listen.

Is this an ayahuasca integration circle?

It’s a Murui mambeo focused on everyday life, not ayahuasca troubleshooting. Some questions fall outside what Josafat can or chooses to address.

When do we meet, and in what language?

Thursdays, 8 p.m. Bogotá, for one hour. U.S. times appear above and adjust with daylight saving. Josafat speaks Spanish; English captions and Scottie’s live translation are provided.

Are the gatherings recorded?

Yes, with English subtitles in The Elder Archive. Your voice, visible name, and video may be included. Listening with camera and microphone off is welcome.

Will I ever have to pay again to stay?

No. You keep all included benefits without further contributions—even if you start, then pause or stop, optional monthly support.

Can I visit the territory?

We hope to welcome visitors as the territory becomes ready. Membership does not include a retreat or a promised visit.

What is the refund policy?

We offer a 30-day refund window. Contact hello@ocoyai.com for help with your payment or access.
