Leandro
Originally from Brazil, Leandro brings a wealth of life experience, deep cross-cultural understanding, and a profound commitment to healing to Pachamama Sanctuary. Shaped by years of global travel, his path spans diverse spiritual traditions, from immersion in Thai Buddhist practices to the indigenous cosmovisions of South America.
With over 15 years of dedicated study with Ayahuasca and various plant and fungi medicines, Leandro bridges ancient lineages with modern integration, weaving sacred music and rituals into spaces of profound personal transformation. He approaches this work with deep respect and responsibility, balanced by warmth, lightness, and joy.
Leandro believes the challenges we face—both personally and collectively—stem from a deep disconnect from the natural world. In his offerings, he invites journeyers to travel inward to their own ecosystem, fully experiencing their emotions while using intuitive movement to shift stagnant energies.
He views facilitation as a collaborative communion, holding a sacred, unwavering, and ethical vessel for journeyers. Rather than encouraging a reliance on medicine alone, he honors each person’s inner wisdom as the ultimate healer, helping them build trust in their own capability, awareness, and daily rituals. His practice operates as a bridge—honoring ancient wisdom while respecting modern psychological safety, walking beside journeyers with humility, reverence, and unconditional regard.
Since becoming a father, his understanding of deep care has profoundly evolved and expanded his capacity to be an exceptionally steady, firm, yet compassionate space holder. Looking forward, he foresees the vital impact this healing work holds for future generations, anchoring his practice in the belief that community plays a key role in sustainable, long-term transformation.
As a certified Psychedelic Practitioner through the Synthesis Institute, Leandro offers comprehensive, professional support across all phases of the experience, specializing in thorough preparation and grounded integration.
