Yagé guardian. Humble bridge between continents. Curious plant medicine apprentice.
Guardian and musician of sacred ceremony space.
My name is Martín Rey. I have carved a unique path at the intersection of the modern world and the deep traditions of ancestral medicine. My mission is not only to bring this wisdom to Europe, but also to honour and preserve the purity of the teachings received from the great guardians of the Amazon. I see myself as an apprentice and a bridge, whose life has been shaped by encounters with masters who have left a profound mark on my journey.
From a young age, dreams and curiosity led me to explore other realities, seeking answers through sacred plants. My first encounter with Ayahuasca in 2011 revealed my calling: a profound path of transformation, learning and service.
Under the guidance of Taita Isaías Muñoz Macanilla, leader of the Kitchwa communities, the spirit of the jaguar entered my life, teaching me harmonisation, balance and the essential principles for guiding ceremonies.
With Taita Richard Chasoy, one of the most respected Yagé brewers of the Inga Manoy people, I learned not only the art of preparing this powerful medicine, but also the secrets of green and red magic, the Coyanguiyas (plants of prosperity), and the Chondures (plants of spiritual protection).
Tío Pacho, patriarch of the Inga people, introduced me to Borrachero, a powerful plant capable of offering vision or danger if approached without proper preparation. In Putumayo, I learned that true vision requires knowledge, clarity and a clean heart. Under his mentorship, I gained access to botanical knowledge reserved for those who are spiritually prepared.
Taita Jairo Palchukán, a Kamëntsá master, taught me the power of ceremonial music and vibration to move energy, harmonise spaces and support the healing process. Music became a fundamental tool in my work.
Taita José Antonio Jansasoy and Mamá Yolimar guided me in the wisdom of silence, helping me to confront my shadows and balance the masculine and feminine energies within myself.
My journey continues, and I am emerging as a future Taita, with the humility of knowing that true knowledge is never complete. Each ceremony, each encounter, is an opportunity for growth and a reminder of the essential values of respect, responsibility and humility.
