Our approach

We are building curacura because we have experienced the limits of modern approaches to mental health, self-development and systemic wellbeing. We believe there is a safe, effective and respectful way to integrate ancient healing practices and science-backed lifestyle changes without falling prey to pseudo-healing, neglecting scientific inquiry and evidence or disrespecting nature and indigenous communities. 

Despite being a useful and non-negotiable tool in most mental health interventions, traditional talk therapy is limited and slow in helping us access the source of our dysfunctional patterns and suffering. On top of that, our systems often medicalise and pathologise people as if their wellbeing was separate from the source of their ailments - their environment.

In the same way, psychedelics may soon become a mainstream salve or magic pill to cure modern plagues like loneliness, social anxiety, dopamine addiction, overwork, environmental and communal alienation and other habits and lifestyles that make our society sick and divided. Guided by self-interest and consumption, we utilise and colonise nature and indigenous culture - the origin, guardians and keepers of psychedelic medicine. There is no shortcut to health and wellbeing, no immediate benefit and psychedelics will not become a quick fix for decades of ignorance and suppression. 

We base our approach in the healing power of groups and communities as well as personal responsibility. We are merely guides on our client’s journey towards self-healing and self-development.

We combine community support, personal awareness, transformational coaching and body-centered therapeutic modalities to guide our clients on their own, unique path of healing and self-development. Our approach is based on both research as well as indigenous knowledge.
