Awaken with

Sacred Tobacco

A unique space to reconnect with nature, soul and spirit through ceremonial healing and ancestral wisdom.

The Path I Walk

My journey into natural medicine began in my teenage years, when chronic health challenges surfaced and conventional treatments could no longer provide relief. It was through Traditional Chinese Medicine that I first experienced true holistic healing — and with it, a quiet awakening to the deeper intelligence of the body and the spirit.

That experience opened the door.

I went on to study psychology, drawn to the complexity of the human mind, the pervasive influence of early traumas and our emotional landscapes. I also completed a degree in business administration and worked as a City banker — learning how modern systems operate, and more importantly, where they fall short.
 
In parallel, I’ve been deeply passionate about martial arts and combat sports, earning a brown belt in traditional ju-jitsu, judo, and Brazilian ju-jitsu under the renowned Roger Gracie, as well as training in wrestling with Lyubomir Kumbarov. My global experiences have taken me to vibrant cities like Paris, London, and Tokyo, and I’ve also spent time in India and Egypt, immersing myself in diverse cultures. 
 
Over time, these threads began to weave into something greater. Through dedicated study and practice of Sivananda and Iyengar yoga, shaking meditation with Ratu Bagus, and Ayurveda under Dr. Sundara Raman, I was guided toward the sacred medicines of the Amazon — and it was there, sitting with Tobacco and the Master Plants under the guidance of my Maestro Ernesto Garcia Torres, that I found my true path.
 

This work is not a career. It is a calling — one that continues to humble and teach me every day. The ceremonies I serve are rooted in the mamankuna tradition and offered with deep reverence. I walk this path in service to the Light, the Spirit and to all who feel called to remember who they truly are.

The Ways I Serve

My history has taught me that true healing doesn’t come from outside of us — it arises when we feel safe enough to be seen, held, and remembered by something greater. My role is not to fix or interpret, but to create the space where the plants can do what they have always done: guide, cleanse, and realign us with our deeper knowing. My role is to channel the Light, to create a space where Master Plants can do what they have always done: cleanse, teach and re-align us with our deeper knowing, our Divine essence. 

The way I serve is through direct relationship with the plants — especially sacred Tobacco — and by sharing what I’ve learned through lived experience, Dieta, and the quiet conversations that take place in ceremony.

Tobacco Ceremonies

In these sacred gatherings we sit with the GrandFather of all plants. Through traditional rituals, prayers, and icaros, Tobacco detoxifies the body, clears energetic blockages, reconnects us to our essence, and restores balance to the mind, heart and spirit. Each ceremony is held in deep reverence and grounded in ancestral practice.

Master Plant Dietas

A Dieta is an invitation into a deeper work, silence and direct communion with a specific plant spirit. Through dietary restrictions, solitude, and disciplined intention, the Dieta opens a field for deep personal transformation, deep re-ordering of ourselves. Whether you are seeking clarity, healing, or guidance, this process will liberate, teach and enlighten.

One-on-One Guidance

Sometimes, before or after ceremony, what’s most needed is a conversation. In these sessions, I offer support around preparation, integration, or simply listening with presence. There is no agenda — just a space to connect, reflect, and receive what’s needed in the moment.

Tobacco Education

A space to learn about natural medicine through writings, recorded teachings, and curated resources, I offer a space to learn about Nicotiana Rustica in its true form. This education is an act of service — to help dissolve misconceptions, restore authenticity, and invite others to walk in deeper relationship with the medicine.

What You Might Experience

No two journeys are the same. Each ceremony, each Dieta, meets you exactly where you are. Some feel peace. Others encounter challenge. Many shed what is no longer needed — stories, patterns, trauma, grief, fear. All heal and remember who they truly are beneath it all.

Before
We begin by setting intentions and preparing the body and mind. Whether for a ceremony or a Dieta, this stage is about aligning your heart and spirit with the work to come.

During
The medicine works in layers — sometimes gently, sometimes intensely. You may purge, cry, sweat, feel stillness, or receive visions. Whatever arises is welcomed, witnessed, and held.

After
Integration is a sacred part of the process. Whether through conversation, rest, or journaling, I remain available to help you weave the experience into your daily life with care and grounding.

" I had been introduced to plant medicine one year prior to meeting Marco. I was familiar with rapé and ambil but I didn’t know much more about Tobacco. I was fascinated by how Marco was equally passionate by and knowledgeable about this sacred plant and was immediately open to experience more of it. Marco provided a safe and warm space for my first tobacco ceremony. I believe that wherever you are on your path, Marco’s guidance will help you welcome and receive what you need. "
