“Everybody must have their own space, you know? And a little bit of peace. And you’ve all got to have somewhere you can go and breathe out and not be faced with all the clutter in life”                                                                                                          

Ever since I first saw Soila, the chief and the matriarch of the Muruy tribe, I wanted to speak to her. Her presence is magnetic, radiating strength, wisdom and beauty. One morning after a powerful Ayahuasca ceremony I was writing in my journal and I saw her tending the garden in the Sanctuary as she usually does. She asked me how the ceremony had been and I told her it had been incredible and that the whole thing was a Mystery. She told me: “Yes, it’s a Mystery and to deal with the Mystery you got to have Faith!”. I thought about that sentence a lot.

When I saw her again this year I reminded her of what she told me and she replied: “You know, the true mystery of the rainforest is the care for the fellow being. And no matter what happens to you, never lose faith in the Omniscient, Omnipresent and Omnipotent God, who always takes care of us in all situations”.

Then she repeated those three words, more slowly, with a pause after each one: “Omnisciente… Omnipresente… Omnipotente…”, as if she wanted to engrave them in my memory. They will stay with me forever. Until we meet again, Soila…
