Nico Rossi
Retreat Leader | Medicine Provider
Nico Rossi is a dedicated retreat leader and cofounder of Lunita Jungle Retreat, with over a decade of experience working with sacred medicines. His journey into this transformative field was ignited by a lifelong desire to help others. Initially drawn to listening, talking, and protecting, Nico discovered that sacred medicine offered a profound means to heal himself and resolve deep-seated issues, which set him on his current path.
A pivotal moment in his journey came during a shamanic workshop when he was introduced to Ayahuasca. The profound healing he experienced during his first ceremony cemented his commitment to this magical and transformative path.
Nico's practice is deeply rooted in his connection to Egyptian divinity, Jesus, and Maria, which guides his understanding of God as an all-encompassing, unified presence. He believes that recognizing our inherent divinity and unity is crucial to removing the sense of separation imposed by traditional religious views.
In his work, Nico emphasizes the powerful relationship between nature and healing. His year-long immersion in the jungle at Lunita Jungle Retreat revealed the profound connection between Pachamama (Mother Earth) and healing. Nature’s guidance has been instrumental in helping him and his clients stay aligned with positive energy and transformation.
Creating a safe and sacred space is central to Nico’s practice. He relies on unconditional love and protection to foster an environment where clients can experience true healing. His approach is focused on love and presence, steering clear of ego-driven interactions.
Nico is committed to continuous growth and evolution in his practice, valuing humility and learning from various sources, including other facilitators and the natural world. Currently, he is exploring new techniques such as breath work, shamanic Reiki, and BioTuning.
To stay connected to his spiritual path, Nico relies on the simple yet profound practice of breathing, often aided by sacred medicine. His goal is to help individuals rediscover their inner power, overcome self-doubt, and realize their potential. He aspires to leave a legacy of love and light, remembered as a compassionate person who dedicated his life to helping others find their own strength and healing.
