Hello friends,
It's been some time now that I've been very interested in a particular way of life - the jungle life.
What I dream of experiencing is living in an ayahuasca/cacti healing center somewhere in Southern America (specifically Peru if a good option is available there). Basically what is stopping me from just going to a well-renowned center and staying there is money.
My idea is to go there and be a fully committed volunteer. I want to participate in gardening, construction, maintenance, I can do digital marketing and communications etc, basically everything this place might need, I can help a huge deal. So far I've spoken only to the communications guy for the Aya Madre healing center in Iquitos, Peru.
After offering my volunteering they still hit me with a price tag of $850/month, which to me seems quite a lot. I know such a place requires a lot of maintenance, and guests have to be accommodated in a respectable manner, with access to most of the things they might need. Add to that fresh food etc, it can get costly, I get it. But still - 850 is not a small sum monthly for someone who is there all the time and helps with everything.
So what I need is a place that will charge me a MAX of $250-300 per month, and still allow me to be there for at least a month as a volunteer, and as a participant in healing ceremonies. I don't want much - just some shelter and enough food not to starve to death.
What I need from you, friends, is recommendations of such places. I don't necessarily want them to be ayahuasca healing centers, those working with sacred cacti work too. I just need to separate myself from this destructive way of life. The damage I do to Mother Nature by living this way is killing me, both literally and not.
Any advice, recommendations or anything at all is greatly appreciated!
Yours truly.
