We are shipibo family and live in the community in San Rafael. San Rafael is small community village located 2 hours from Pucallpa and 8km of the city Massisea.
How to get here:
You need to take a boat from Pucallpa (dock close to Plaza de Armas) and find the boat going to Massisea. Boats are leaving every day, but not often. You can choose if you want to take slow boat or fast boat. Slow boat leaves at 8am, take 6 hours and cost 7 sol. Fast boat leaves at 2pm, take 2.5 hours and cost 15 sol. It might be challenging to find a right boat going to Massisea. But when you are at the dock, ask other captains of the boats, they will help you. When you will get to Massisea, take a mototaxi to San Rafael. All drivers know my name so it shouldn't be a problem get to my house. We live 8km away from the Massisea and it cost 10 sol per person. It might be 15 sol if you are just 1 person. Don't pay more.
The life here is very basic. We exploit our essential needs manufacturing all the resources that jungle provides. Fishing is carried out by men while women dedicate household, care of the children and making traditional art such as needlecraft and jewelery.
I celebrate ayahuasca ceremonies selflessly and three times a week with all the people who visit the family and wish to do so. You can also be attending on these ceremonies.
Volunteers who want to come need to have a sensitivity to people who are going into a deep healing process.
Contact me in Spanish. We don't speak english.

Somos una familia de Shipibo y vivemos en comunidad de San Rafael. Es un pequeño pueblo cerca de Pucallpa en el rio Ucayaly. Para llegar a nuestro hogar tienes que coger bote en el puerto de Pucallpa. Buscaras botes a Massisea. Puedes ir con un bote rapido (15 Soles/ 2-3 horas) o lento collectivo (7 Soles/ 6 horas). En Massisea coges un mototaxi. Diga a taxista que te lleve a San Rafael donde vive Hermogenes (son 20 Soles, no pages mas). Todos me conocen por aqa.
La vida aqa es muy simple. Usamos la riceza de la selva para alimentar nuestras necesidades. En nuestro terreno vivemos tres. Yo y mi mujer con tres perros y nuestro hijo Joven. Normalmente estan otros hijos y hijas con sus niños tambien. Somos una familia grande.
Tambien hago ceremonias de Ayahuasca tres veces por cada semana. A veces vienen otra gente de pueblo, enfermos o turistas seguir las ceremonias. Los voluntarios tambien estan invitados.

Nosotros trabajamos muy poco. Ahora vamos a construir una granja por pollos entonces nos puede ayudar con esto. Despues puede ayudar en la granja. A veces hay que repeir algunos tambos. En futuro tambien queremos crear un huerto. Es possible hacer la artesania tipica de Shipibo como collares de semillas y coser. Lo que mas necesitamos es ayuda con publicidad en internet. Gente que saben hacer paginas web o otras cosas estan muy bienvenidos. Tambien estamos buscando alquien quien habla español y ingles y podria ser traductor en las ceremonias de ayahuasca. Se puede ayudar con los ninos, con cocinar o limpiar el terreno. Las nuevas ideas estan tambien bienvenidas.
