Anura first visited Peru in 2011, not having any idea how monumental it would be in the course of her evolution. She unexpectedly (but not unsurprisingly) fell completely in love with the Quechuan language, the spirit of the Mountains and the smiles of the Q'ero people.

She was led by series of synchronicities or “coincidences” back to Sacred Valley in 2016, ready to receive answers to questions that were scratching at the surface, begging to excavated. She began her plant medicine journey of expanding consciousness, questioning purpose, and challenging limits of perception existence. Meeting the Spirits of Ayahuasca, Kambo and Huachuma helped her uncover and remember so much more than she had been asking. What was unveiled was the Great Mysterious force infinitely greater than that which we see in physical form, a deep inner knowing of the invisible and grand web which works far beyond what we can comprehend with the human mind. Beyond coming face to face with her greatest fears, and embraced in the deepest most pure Universal Love by the Spirit of Ayahuasca, she was given a visceral understanding of Unity Consciousness, igniting an awakening that had never been present in her before.

These synchronicities, signs and "coincidental" meetings of people, places and dreams became a regular occurrence as she consciously stepped foot in life's labyrinth to see where it would lead her. Over the years, she maintained her relationship with the plants, learning from the Shipibo Conibo of the Ucayali River, the Yawanawa of the State of Acre in the Brazilian Amazon, the Q’ero of the Andes Mountains, and the Matses of the Peruvian Amazon of Loreto. Since 2017 she has coordinated yoga retreats to Costa Rica, Kambo + Plant Medicine retreats in Thailand, and Sacred Valley for others to have the opportunity to safely meet what's beyond sight and mind.

Through her personal and spiritual evolution, she arrived at a place where Great Spirit chose her to serve frog medicine {kambo}. After receiving permission and blessings from the Spirit of Kambo in an Ayahuasca ceremony, she began her education and training with the Indigenous Matses tribe of Peru, as well as with teachers in the US. Along with Kambo medicine, she also pulls from her trainings in Northern Thailand of traditional Chinese Medicine through Chi Nei Tsang, believing and encouraging a deep detox of the gut system and balance its’ influence on the meeting of psycho-spiritual/emotional, somatic + physiological processes to address physical dis-eases and illness.

Fierce environmentalism, a heart for conservation, and a moral code of reciprocity are at the forefront of her values. Anura is Trauma-Informed and trained in areas of Psychedelic Harm Reduction, Somatic Plant Medicine Integration, and Embodied Facilitation of Safe Transformational Spaces, with past experience working for a healing center in the Amazon, vetting and interviewing Ayahuasca applicants. She serves Kambo and Plant Medicine as culturally respectfully as possible, bringing the teachings of Indigenous mentors in ways applicable to "Western" lives inundated with stress, dis-ease, and separation. She is currently enrolled in a 13-month training course with the Synthesis Institute on facilitating Safe Psychedelic Ceremonies.

Her mission is to help us tune in our Divinity, co-create community, spread unity and non-violence to all beings, encourage and support sustainable practices, build resiliency in our personal power, and remember the simple joys of being embodied in Human-form.
