San Pedro, a sacred plant medicine with deep roots in indigenous traditions, offers profound health benefits. It is known for its ability to foster emotional healing, spiritual growth, and physical well-being. The psychoactive properties of San Pedro help individuals release deep-seated traumas, gain clarity, and reconnect with their true selves. This transformative healing is best experienced in the context of a CEREMONY.
Ceremony is essential to San Pedro’s healing power. It is a social medicine that requires the presence of at least two people: the individual taking the medicine and the shaman or medicine man guiding the experience. This communal approach ensures safety, support, and a deeper connection to the healing process. Our ceremonies are non-religious, rooted in earth-based rituals that aim for self-actualization. They celebrate life, transitions, and personal growth with a sense of respect and reverence, whether the tone is solemn or jovial.
Our ceremonial style honors nature and the primary elements of life—earth, fire, water, and air. We draw on ancestral wisdom traditions to manage the energy of the space and facilitate healing. As part of the ceremony, I help bridge cultural understanding, making this potent medicine accessible and meaningful for all participants.
Engaging in a San Pedro ceremony allows one to embrace the celebratory spirit of life and transitions. It is a journey of self-discovery and healing, deeply connected to the rhythms of nature and the wisdom of our ancestors.
If you are seeking profound personal transformation, consider joining us for a San Pedro ceremony.

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.

My friend, Carmita Avila with Rescate Animal Cuenca, called with an urgent request. Can we help Rex?
Poor Rex was rescued in a terrible state of malnutrition, with hormonal problems, a serious ear infection and a burst eye. He was recently found to have a serious allergy problem with a solution – changing his food.
Rex is a large, older dog, and a lovely gentleman. Between his size, age and health, after four years, sadly, he still is with Carmita.
Rex’s doctor prescribed Proplan Ultimates, which has made a tremendous difference. Rescate is a volunteer grassroots organization. $120/bag is more than they can carry on top of the costs of their other charges. Rex needs at least four bags, and may need to stay on it forever.
Carmita took in a big dog I rescued, as we could not keep her. She worked with Sky for three years until her forever family adopted her into a loving, responsible, home. We supported Sky in rescue and continue to make monthly donations. Rescate isn’t as high profile as other groups, but are just as deserving.
Won’t you help? Maybe you have a an extra bag of ProPlan Ultimates? Why not meet Rex? Perhaps give him a loving home to live out his life with dignity? Rescate will use your donations responsibly. Since 2013, the group has rescued and placed over 1700 pets.
Please donate via PayPal or Banco Pinchincha: Account #2205754228, Carmita Avila P, cedula 010200214
Please contact Carmita directly, WA 99-945-4653.

Why is understanding native Spanish speakers a challenge?
Because we don’t catch the language word by word! We catch the language in chunks.
>”I already master Spanish tenses, I did my best, so, why is it so hard to understand when a native talks to me?”
Native speakers of a language are set up to send signals, communicative cues for other native speakers, not for language learners.
> “So, what to do?”
You have to learn how to listen to native Spanish speakers.
Wanting to work on your Spanish spoken skills?
Prior to start we will have a 20 minutes meeting.
Questions, doubts, concerns?

“Thanks to attending the language school “CCNations, Escuela de Idiomas” I was able to pass the Ecuador citizenship written and interview exams, and will soon become a naturalized citizen. With their homework materials and instructional classes, my level of Spanish increased to where I could study, learn, and pass these essential subjects…
This is one of the top language schools I have ever attended!
Bartley
“My success in passing the test on my first attempt was primarily due to CCNations, their time, efforts and patience in guiding me towards success. I really couldn’t have done so well without them. For this reason, I highly recommend this school to anyone who needs help with Spanish in any capacity.”

We love our experience and look forward to each week’s class that is opening up a whole new world for us.”
Carol
“…. I really like the fact that they always type out our conversation on their computer screen as we are talking. I am a very visual learner and when I can also see on their screen what we are discussing, it really reinforces the entire learning process. This also means I do not need to take notes but can concentrate on the speaking/listening aspects of the learning process. When I get home, the notes which they created during our class are waiting for me in my email inbox. Now how cool is that!”

Despite its low visibility in mainstream culture, this cactus holds significant importance in native healing practices. and is fast becoming recognized by modern medicine for its ability to treat long-standing ailments such as: PTSD, addiction, depression and anxiety.
