Feeling frustrated, blocked or disconnected—from yourself, your purpose, or your energy?
Ancestral wisdom tells us that illness—whether physical, emotional, or psychological—stems from a separation from one’s true essence. Reconnecting with this essence can unlock profound healing. In Andean shamanism, limpias (energy cleanses) restore your energy body to its natural state, bringing balance and vitality.
With a shaman’s guidance, deeper healing is possible. Shamans bridge the spiritual and physical worlds, facilitating soul retrieval, repairing disruptions, discharging ancestral karma, and reconnecting you with nature. This is the medicine that precedes ‘medicine.’
Meet Taita Ivan Navarro
An elder shaman from Chile with 40+ years of experience, Taita Ivan has lived in Ecuador for 15 years, earning respect from both native Cañari and international shamanic communities. His offerings help you reconnect with yourself, Spirit, and the natural world.

Grief often feels like a heavy void, impossible to escape. After the loss of my romantic partner and mother in just four months, I questioned whether life could ever be meaningful again. But I’ve learned that grief and love are two sides of the same coin, and beyond grief lies profound love, waiting to be redirected.
This understanding fuels my work as an INELDA-trained end-of-life consultant, where I help others transform grief into personal growth. Grief is not the end; it’s a powerful portal to rediscover yourself, your passions, and the life you’re meant to live.
That’s why I’m so excited about our upcoming retreat, “Echoes of the Heart: Rediscovering Life After Death,” November 22-24. This three-day, two-night immersive retreat offers transformative experiences, including:
-San Pedro Medicine Ceremony for heart-opening insights
-Temazcal Ceremony to release old patterns and rebirth the self
-Shamanic Healing with Taita Ivan to process grief and restore balance
-Biodanza Embodiment to ground new insights through movement
This retreat is for those ready to release the past and open to a vibrant future. If you’re ready to transform your grief into a source of strength and love, we invite you to join us.
Early bird registration is available until October 10th, with a bonus Pathway to Peace coaching session for those who confirm their spot before September 30th.
This journey is about rediscovering life after death. Are you ready to begin?

We have worked with Marcia for years as our Travel Agent for Cuenca, enjoying the Senior discount on many flights. That discount has actually made it possible for us to travel. Sadly, the company she worked with has closed but she has opened a new travel agency right next door to the old one that was on the corner of Benigno Malo and Calle Larga. You may know Marcia – she was the primary agent in the Rootours location in the Las Americas Centro Commercial and later moved back to the downtown office. When they closed, she opened her agency next door to the old location. We have tickets booked with her and will be booking new flights as soon as the airlines permit it. She has always given superb treatment and you can expect the same from her in her new office. She also works by appointment, so call her to set up your next travel adventure. She speaks English.

What does Hogar de Esperanza do with your donations of clothing and household items? First and foremost, we give them away to those who are most in need of them. Great care is taken to make sure that they get exactly what they need. Any extra items are sold in Esperanza Thrift Shop, where all of the proceeds go back into directly supporting the foundation’s work of helping those in need.
Are you moving soon – perhaps across town or maybe even back home – and you have items that you can’t take with you? Do you wish you had someone to come carry away those items remaining after your moving sale, that you don’t know what to do with? Were you just spring-cleaning last week, and came across clothes in your closets that you no longer wanted? If you would like to do some incredible things with those items you no longer need or want, let us turn them into something valuable to help those in need.
We accept anything that you wish to donate, and put it to immediate use. You can come by the thrift shop, which is located at 8-28 Juan Montalvo y Mariscal Sucre, to drop off items Monday through Friday from 9 AM – 5:30 PM. We also do pick-ups of donations, so feel free to contact us to arrange a time. Thank you so much for your support of Hogar de Esperanza – we could not do any of this without you.

Yes, you have read well> you don’t need it.
You just need to speak Spanish to stop complaining about a language and culture that are huge different than yours since language is the twin brother of culture and its geographic context.
Still wondering> ”Do Spanish lessons suit me?”
In the age of compulsive shopping it’s a temptation to try to buy knowledge but acquiring a language is something you just can’t buy and use, you have to use to acquire it, and this is the reason why I try to work with/for really committed students, those who don’t expect magical results in a couple of days/weeks.
If you don’t have a clear interest in using Spanish while living here, no, this course doesn’t suit you anyway.
If you think that just the fact of hiring a teacher is enough to speak fluently, no, don’t waste your money buying a training that you won’t make the most out of it.
But,
If you have real expectations and you are willing to invest in yourself acquiring the hardest skill to master, so, this course is for you.
I am Vilma, I am passionate about explaining how my native language works and its nuances in this unique geographical context.
I challenge my students to improve their Spanish listening and speaking skills every single lesson.
I believe in the power of the word as an expression of our own inner world. I am a writer and a self-taught English learner.
All the best,
