As the global interest in Ayahuasca and other sacred plant medicines surges, we face a profound dilemma: the very traditions and ecosystems that hold the keys to humanity’s healing are now at risk of being commodified, depleted, or lost entirely.

With increased demand comes mounting pressure on ancestral territories, the elders who carry these lineages, and the fragile ecosystems where these sacred medicines grow. We’ve witnessed overharvesting, cultural appropriation, and the dilution of spiritual integrity — often without reinvestment into the land or the people who have protected these medicines for generations.

At the same time, veterans, seekers, and everyday people around the world are waking up — yearning for a deeper healing that the modern world cannot provide. But too often, they are met with extractive tourism or shallow experiences disconnected from the roots.

We founded Ocóyái to meet this moment — to serve as a lighthouse for those seeking healing, and as a shield for the original stewards of these sacred paths.

Our solution is a living, Indigenous-guided village rooted in land restoration, ancestral wisdom, and sacred reciprocity. We are building cabins, planting native medicines, protecting water sources, and walking in alliance with the Murui, Siona, Nutabe, and Wiwa peoples to ensure these traditions are preserved, protected, and honored — not just for today’s healing, but for generations to come.
