Their journey into the world of healing began at a young age, under the loving guidance of their grandparents, sparking a deep connection with the natural world and its medicines. Through years of dedicated dieting master plants, these Maestros have cultivated their extraordinary medicinal gifts and carry a radiant light within.
Don Rono and Doña Angela, brother and sister, are highly esteemed for their expertise and extensive experience in the art of plant medicine.

Profoundly versed in the spiritual and medicinal realm of plant spirits, they possess the wisdom to guide you on a transformative journey, helping you regain health, love, and balance.
The Sacred Inkan Rao Tree: Guardian of Our Center
The name of our center was given directly by the spirit of this tree right here. Our Shipibo Masters call it Inkan Noi Rao which translates to The Loving Inkan Medicine and have given it praise as an incredibly powerful Master Plant. We are extremely lucky to be surronded by this sacred tree here at our center, and with deep gratitude we use its medicine in our retreats.
More than just a symbol, the Inkan Rao Tree is a living embodiment of the power of the Inkas. It carries the wisdom of the past and offers its spiritual force to help those on their journey of transformation, healing, and connection.
Our Founder's Journey
Justin founded INKAN RAO in 2020. His profound connection with the healing power of Ayahuasca began after facing the traumatic loss of his beloved at the young age of 24. This life-altering experience called him to the Amazon Jungle of Peru, where he embarked on his healing journey. Guided by the wisdom of Ayahuasca, Noya Rao, and the presence of his beloved's soul, he embarked on a transformative path, slowly but surely opening his heart.
Justin believes that when we truly open our hearts, we unlock the potential for deep, mysterious healing that touches the soul. He understands that the heart holds the key to both spiritual transformation and inner peace, and through his work, he seeks to guide others toward this sacred place within themselves. For Justin, love is the most powerful medicine, and he is deeply devoted to sharing this healing love with anyone who is ready to receive it. His mission is to create a safe, nurturing space where people can rediscover the limitless love within their hearts and allow it to guide them toward healing, growth, and spiritual awakening. In everything he does, Justin shares his belief that true healing begins and ends with love, and he invites all who are seeking peace and wholeness to experience this beautiful journey alongside him.
In Loving Dedication to Brenna Guzman
This center is dedicated to Brenna Guzman's extraordinary soul, whose love continues to guide and inspire us. Without her, this sanctuary of healing would not be possible.
In 2019, Brenna and Justin were involved in a tragic accident in Chiang Mai, Thailand, when a driver suddenly collided with them. On that fateful day, Brenna lost her life—the most devastating moment for Justin. It was this profound loss that set Justin on a path of healing and transformation through plant medicine.
Following the accident, Justin journeyed to the Peruvian Amazon in search of solace. Guided by Brenna’s spirit, they embarked on the mission to establish this healing center. Her love, wisdom, and light have been vital to everything we do here at Inkan Rao. When you step into this space, you will feel that love. It has the power to heal and transform you, just as it has done for Justin.
Brenna, we thank you endlessly for the medicine and love you have brought to this world. Your spirit and your light are woven into every part of this center. May your love guide us in the sacred work we do here.
With infinite gratitude and love, we dedicate this center to you.
