Details

An immersive pilgrimage to the depths to witness and participate in a realtime process of alchemy through the Micelium net, music and prayers. We are honored and deeply grateful to welcome Ape Chimba, a multi-instrumental band led by a singer, composer, and music producer whose music resonates across borders and times, blending the primal with the divine. Ape draws inspiration from old African music, Flamenco, Latin, Indigenous folk songs, Arabic, and world electronic music. His live performances conjure both deep self-reflection and liberating dance, creating an immersive pilgrimage that weaves together music, art, technology, prayer, and ancestral legacy. Ape’s music echoes the eternal in all of us, expressing the rawest of human emotion and leading to the doors of sacred celebration. We are weaving together threads of music, threads of soul, and threads telling stories both ancient and new, sewing a tapestry of devotional melodies and rhythm in our hearts. Join us in The Inner Pilgrimage a Ceremony for your Soul. Important Note: This ceremony includes the use of mycelial earth medicines. If you have any medical or psychological concerns, we encourage you to reach out to us in advance to determine if this experience is the right fit for you.

YACUMAMA is a regenerative community land project in Costa Rica. A space for community & connection to the deepest parts of ourselves and all life. A cultural center for transformational experiences for the evolution of humanity. We are so happy that you found your way here and that we get to share a little about Yacumama with you. Creating Yacumama is a response to a spirit mission given to many of us to create eco-villages, sanctuaries, food forests, temples, & places we can come together in connection. Our deepest prayer for Yacumama is to create a living field of unity where the illusion of separation dissolves, a place to remember who we truly are and be inspired to be more loving humans, standing powerfully in our purpose as devoted stewards of this earth. This living field is alive, growing, and evolving as we listen. We are exploring new and ancient ways of living in community rooted in sacred reciprocity, connection & regeneration.
