Distance Healing Journey
In development since 2001 through the experience of Paititi Institute based on millennia of wisdom from Ando-Amazonian indigenous cultures and Eastern holistic traditions with the support of Transpersonal psychology
Welcome
If you are seeking healing and self realization that unlocks your evolutionary path as a human being, this program can help unfold the potential of you and your inner healer. After close to 20 years of applying this approach with thousands of people in a live retreat setting, the Distance Healing Journey is designed to bring the same essence of self actualizing potential to those who may be unable to experience it in person.
This approach was designed over many years, after Roman Hanis, Cynthia Robinson and other facilitators studied with indigenous healers of the Amazon and the Andes (among them Ashuar, Huitoto, Quechua and Mestizo healers). It deliberately differs from the conventional mentality of prescribing a ‘fix’ that addresses symptoms rather than the source: participants receive educational information from which they are free to make informed choices, and then learn through personal experience. The intention is to unravel the inner healer — learning to listen deeply to the messages of the organism, and to respond with positive changes made from a place of inspiration rather than desperation.
That asks for real engagement: cultivating one’s own receptivity and intuition, checking in with facilitators who have accompanied numerous people through the same process, and the discipline to maintain stricter dietary regimens through personal initiative. The program is educational — it is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment, and everything provided by the facilitation team must be confirmed with the overseeing physician or licensed health care professional.

The Distance Healing Journey
This evolutionary health program takes a multidisciplinary approach to the discovery and resolution of suffering in a human being. Diverse tools support changes in nutrition, lifestyle and dominating perspectives — the contributing factors of dis-ease — and the process asks a dedicated effort: the changes have to be implemented sustainably, across the dietary, emotional, spiritual and physical facets of life. Indispensable here is how one’s consciousness relates to the sensations and symptoms which underlie every disease. When one’s attitude in life turns towards discovery, inner growth and the limitless realm of possibilities, healing becomes possible.
The program runs a minimum of three months, and the timeframe has several reasons behind it. It is enough time to see how the organism interacts with a nutritional approach and to develop one’s own strategy through experience; for those who later choose to work with us at our center in Peru, it allows a gradual transition towards the stricter dietary regimen that is often part of a healing program there. Just as importantly, this chapter of working closely together cultivates a relationship — with oneself, and with Paititi Institute — that carries the healing beyond any single program. Rather than a ‘dose’ of healing, the Distance Healing Program offers a continuous compass: a transformation system that can serve as a life-long navigation tool towards well-being.
The Distance Healing Journey consists of four elements:
Personalized Nutrition Program
The Personalized Nutritional Program is an educational resource customized to the unique health condition of the participant — dietary, supplement and herbal suggestions, together with recipes and methods for making these shifts.
It is a springboard, not a prescription. Participants are encouraged to initiate additional research and decide, at their own discretion, which aspects to implement; facilitators remain available for questions throughout the active period of the program. In our experience the changes made become more sustainable when they are self-motivated: this self-direction is the foundation of the discipline that promotes a healthy internal landscape, turns individuals into informed advocates of their own well-being, and lets us observe how the organism adapts to the dietary changes.
Shamanic Transpersonal Dreamwork
Dreamwork supports us to identify the psychosomatic source of the dis-ease: the contributing conditions and suppressed content of the subconscious. By documenting a series of dreams and evaluating their recurring key motifs, the transpersonal archetypal language yields a powerful insight into how hidden personality traits and emotional and mental patterns influence the health condition at hand. The Dreamwork is implemented using indigenous shamanic approaches woven with modern Transpersonal Psychology.
Participants type up a recent series of dreams and correspond over email. Each month of the three-month program includes a one-hour coaching session addressing the most recent round of dreams, the patterns that surface, and how they relate to the participant’s waking life — the Dream Exploration and Transformational Coaching are paired to provide reflection and to promote responsive changes in one’s daily experience.
One-on-One Transformational Coaching
Transformational Coaching offers a compassionate and uncompromising reflection that supports the participant to realize the blind spots in the relationship to the self, family, community, nature and the universe at large. Coaching facilitators combine formal training with an intuitive understanding of the human psyche, and three outcomes are intended in every session:
- The participant feels safe – heard at a level they are not normally used to, they can relax, open up, and move deeper into the experience they want to change or bring light to.
- The participant feels seen – met with empathy and compassion, they come to see themselves clearly without being “told” something about themselves.
- The participant feels capable of change – with strategic assistance and a plan toward what needs to change, they feel empowered to make the positive changes that facilitate healing.
Where the Dream Exploration provides a blueprint of the transformation journey, the coaching offers ways to embody resolution: responding to the messages of the subconscious in one’s waking life from a place of heart-centered responsiveness rather than conditioned reactiveness, directed by each individual’s inner healer. All coaching is done over phone, FaceTime or Skype; the full program includes three hour-long calls, generally one per month.
Tap into our Collective Healing Frequency with Energetic Healing
The Amazonian indigenous medicine tradition has a practice where the healing life force of the Mother of Mother Nature is channeled in special sacred ceremonies to a person located far away. The energetic healing supports well-being and harmony during the challenging times of healing, and assists the organism in subtle ways — the connection to the healing frequency of the organization develops long before actually meeting each other in person. The effects may also include more meaningful dreams that manifest throughout the engagement, and sometimes beyond.
Input vs Output
It is essential to note that willingness to sacrifice habitual patterns — no matter how comfortable we are with them — is essential to this work. The conditioned ego usually enjoys its habitual traits without considering the whole organism, and humbling the ego, through resolution of unhealthy habits and implementation of healthy ones, is crucial for health regeneration.
The underlying intention goes much further than the healing of the physical part of our existence, into the realm of evolutionary transformation of consciousness. What is usually considered a random bothersome occurrence can actually reveal a higher evolutionary meaning and significantly improve the quality of life.
Health Conditions Pre-Requisite
When a health condition is involved, it is a pre-requisite at the Paititi Institute to go through the complete Distance Healing Program for a minimum period of three months before attending a retreat in Peru. At the completion of the program each participant is evaluated for the possibility of attending the physical location of our healing center, or for other healing strategies. Participation does not guarantee admission — your initiative and direct involvement are essential for this process to take place.
The pre-requisite exists because the program is the preparation. It cultivates the initial relationship between the participant and Paititi Institute, allows for a grounded and gradual deepening, and establishes a foundation of resonance with the traditions, the approaches and the facilitators — the scaffolding of support, understanding and trust in which an autonomous, life-long discipline of well-being takes root. In our experience this foundation is what allows the process to move through the deeper layers of conditioning, and it prepares people for the responsibility of becoming one’s own healer — gradually learning not to depend on anyone or anything, which is how the ancient traditions we work with approach the healing of many sicknesses and diseases.
This gradual, grounded, conscious approach yields deeper and more lasting results, and we have seen very beneficial outcomes through the distance healing program alone. The three months also give Paititi Institute the opportunity to align with the attitude and engagement of each person — it is very important for us to see whether we are a good fit to support someone on their healing journey beyond the initial program.
Distance Healing Packages
Each of our services carries a minimum recommended contribution. The contribution creates a balanced energy exchange with our participants — a sense of value that motivates full involvement in the process — and an energetic connection with our transformational work, where collective energy healing and sublimation are done.
The program is available to anyone seeking support in unlocking the inherent healing wisdom of his or her organism, and the full program is a pre-requisite for anyone with a health condition interested in visiting our Healing Center in Peru — the Health Conditions section covers what that involves, and what completion does and does not guarantee.
Full Program: $600
The comprehensive full package includes all four elements. For those with a health condition wishing to visit our healing center in Peru, the full package is required:
- Personalized Nutritional Education Program customized to your condition
- Shamanic Transpersonal Dream Exploration for 3 months (conducted via email)

Getting Started & Orientation
Paititi has worked with a wide variety of conditions over the years and holds a deep respect for each individual’s unique process — which is why there is no ‘end goal’ or guaranteed result based on a step by step process. Each participant is encouraged to engage in the journey fully and be open to what unfolds within every moment.
It is equally important to realize that the Distance Healing Program, like our retreats in Peru, may not be the most suitable fit for all individuals: it requires shifts in lifestyle that not everyone is ready to accept, and people living with more serious conditions — whether mental illness or terminal disease, or those on numerous pharmaceutical medications — may require an approach that Paititi Institute does not offer at this time. This is determined through the application process and the initial Orientation Call.
A Distance Healing Journey can be initiated at any time. Below outlines the beginning steps:
- Familiarize yourself with Paititi Institute and our approach toward the healing process through this website and the Paititi Institute Blog.
- Fill out the intake form.
- Submit your non-refundable application fee ($25).
- You will receive a confirmation that the application has been received and we will schedule your orientation call. If there is a waiting list, you will be notified of the estimated timing to start your program.
- After your orientation call, you can decide if you’re ready to begin the journey. You’ll receive an email with the next steps, including the link to make your remaining contribution and an engagement package to sign and send back.
- Once your final contribution and signed engagement package are received, we’ll initiate your program.
Orientation Calls:
The orientation call is an opportunity to connect with your facilitator directly, held via Skype or WhatsApp. During the 20–30 minute call we guide you through the program and answer your questions; if afterwards you feel the program is unsuitable for your healing process, there is no obligation to continue.
In some cases, the Distance Healing team may decide the program isn’t the best fit for a potential participant, based on the facilitation team’s current ability to support the applicant’s state of being — examples include late stage terminal illnesses, certain mental disorders, or cases of desperation for an ‘easy’ or ‘external’ solution. In these instances the decision is made by the facilitation team and the applicant is informed.

The Distance Healing Program is for educational purposes only and is available to be implemented at the discretion and informed choice of the participant and is not meant as a substitute for diagnosis or treatment. All the info provided by the Distance Healing Facilitation team must be confirmed by the overseeing physician or licensed health care professional. While we have seen improvement in symptoms and are willing to support the healing journey, we can neither promise, nor guarantee any results. Since this is an educational program, it is essential for the participant to be engaged in their own process as well as a discipline to maintain stricter dietary regimens through personal initiative.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the common questions that arise around the Distance Healing Program. If you have further questions we welcome you to write us — the Orientation Call also provides an opportunity for many inquiries to be clarified with our facilitators.
Why is the Distance Healing Program a prerequisite to potential participation in future Embody True Nature retreats?
Please review our “Health Conditions” section which covers this extensively. For some minor health issues this pre-requisite may not apply and you are welcome to write us to inquire further about your specific condition.
I’ve completed a 3-month Distance Healing Program and want to attend an Embodying True Nature retreat. What’s next?
In our experience this is a sensitive process that involves a mindful approach that cannot be rushed. Once we determine there’s a positive systemic response to your engagement with us from a distance, we can develop a strategy to safely support a deeper phase of your healing process.
An Embody True Nature retreat is NOT a guaranteed next step. The Paititi Distance Healing team and Retreat Facilitators evaluate each participant’s health and level of engagement in the program alongside all relevant medical data, on a case by case basis; in cases of serious health conditions, steps are taken to determine stability, including doctor reports and recent medical test results. The minimum 3-month program creates a foundation for moving forward, and the best next step varies from case to case. Examples include:
- An Embodying True Nature retreat
- Other shorter retreats facilitated in Peru
- An event during Paititi Institute's tours outside of Peru
- Additional time with the Distance Healing Program
I am diagnosed with a severe health condition. What results have you seen in the past?
Over the years Paititi has seen many people go into full remission from many conditions, some of them terminal and considered incurable by Western medicine. Examples include colon cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, hepatitis C, lyme disease, IBS, diabetes, chronic migraines, depression, PTSD and substance abuse, among others.
While we’ve seen improvements in many cases and are willing to support the healing journey, we can neither promise, nor guarantee any results. Since this is an educational program, it’s essential for the participant to be engaged, showing continuous initiative in their own process and discipline maintaining stricter dietary regimens.
In the western, allopathic approach health conditions are systematically classified. From our experience, while two people may be given the same diagnostic label, the healing approach can vary significantly.
Can the Distance Healing Program alone help to heal, or is a visit to the healing center in Peru necessary?
Yes, the Distance Healing Program alone can help. In some cases, participants find complete resolution or the direction needed to continue improving on their own; many benefit from the program without intending to visit Peru. The results are unique for each person, and it’s essential for participants to provide their health background in the application process and initial Orientation Call so the team can determine the appropriate options.
Are there any available discounts or work trade options?
Currently there are no discounts or scholarships available, and we work hard to keep the cost of the program as low as possible while dedicating each participant substantial personal attention.
Regarding work trade, once we get to know someone well enough and in person, we may be open to exploring options. Participation in the Institute’s initiatives can help develop the necessary connection.
Does Distance Healing Program participation include a discount to the Embody True Nature retreat?
Embodying True Nature retreat discounts aren’t available for Distance Healing participants. These month-long retreats are distinct events covered at cost and require extensive resources and logistics.
In our experience, by making a monetary contribution towards the healing process, participants are more engaged. An energetic exchange is established and there’s a sense of dedication through reciprocity.
