Maria Camila Betancur
FOUNDER/ ENTHEOGENIC GUIDE/ FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS FACILITATOR
Maria Camila is a student of the divine who blends her life’s purpose with her way of living. She is a moon dancer and multifaceted medicine woman whose skillsets include Sound Healing, Shamanic Healing, Reiki, IFS, Family Constellations, Kundalini, and the stewardship of sacred sacraments.
She was born and raised in Colombia where she grew up climbing trees, and helping her grandmother in the kitchen. A lover of nature and all beings, she lives her life in devotion to service, restoring and remembering our relationship with the sacred land, in reciprocity, and through the ancient ways of the red path, and her own ancestry. While cultivating these practices, Maria discovered the power of Entheogens at an early age and since took a deep dive into the spiritual arena where she found her calling using sound and energy, along with the ancestral wisdom carried by these sacraments.
Prior to fully following the path of remembrance and her hearts calling, Maria Camila devoted herself in service as a Real Estate Agent and Interior Designer, graduating from Florida International University at the age of 21 with a Bachelors in Criminal Justice and Minor in Business. For over half a decade Maria Camila has submerged herself in shamanic practices to deepen her ancestral knowledge, returning to her roots in the Amazonian jungle, where she has been thought and initiated as a sacrament holder by the Shipibo Konibo Tribe and given the name of Birerate. As well working closely with her guide and mentor Mily Andrade, from the Comcaac tribe from the Sonoran Desert of Mexico, who are the guardians of the OTAC bufo sacrament. Graduated from CUDEC University for Systemic Family Constellations, she also offers this powerful pseudoscientific therapeutic modality, founded by Bert Hellinger, which invites us to take a closer look at the dynamics of our family systems that directly impact our way of being and relating with self and the world.
Maria Camila focuses on supporting people as they move through childhood trauma, addictions and ancestral conditioning. She loves creating sacred spaces through sound, movement, and deep body awareness, along with the wisdom of the earth, to help reprogram the subconscious, and listen to our own inner wisdom while remembering our divinity.

ENTHEOGENIC GUIDE
Mily Andrade is a multidimensional traveling soul, that through the ancient knowledge of the Comcacac tribe, the integration of entheogens and other tools, guide and inspire you to remember your divine spark, your power of Creation and undertake your self-discovery so that you can enjoy fullness of this great Ceremony called LIFE.
She was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. Since she was a child she had a great thirst for spiritual connection, to find herself. Throughout her childhood she visited and listened to different religious doctrines, listening to the word of GOD, looking for something beyond, her connection with everything. She was like a salmon against the current, searching for her divine essence, which attempted to manifest itself every day through her roles within her daily life; work, school, social commitments, etc. Through these roles, her spirit revealed itself to the impositions of the system; that dictates to us what to believe, what to do, how to think, how to act… something inside her screamed, telling her that we came to this existence to do something majestic, that our life is not summarized in fulfilling routines, that live aside of our essence; which lead us to repress our feelings, turning off our magic, making us forget that we are beings of love, creators, divine beings.
Listening to the call of her heart, without any defined reason or purpose, she arrived at the COMCAAC tribe over a decade ago, to meet the guardians of the OTAC and she hasn’t left since that day. She had a special interest in meeting grandfather Francisco Barnett, better known as Chapito. Upon arriving at the tribe a feeling of warmth enveloped her, feeling that she had arrived home. Hours later she met Grandpa Chapito Barnett, who always has a big smile. She greeted him and asked him: “Grandpa, when are you going to do a ceremony for me?” to which he responded “We are already in the ceremony.” She couldn’t understand what he was saying because we were not performing any ritual, (or what her mind conceptualized as one.) They were in the middle of the living room of a house, while he had a cup of coffee and watched a program on TV. He looked at her eyes and continued, “and you will be in ceremony until the last day you are here”, from that moment on the magic began to happen, which she still did not understand.
For 5 continuous days she had a telepathic communication with Tata Chapito, where he transmitted images, words, that her mind could not yet conceptualize. Granfather Chapito recognized her before she did, he saw what her path was, which she accepted in her heart. At 90 years of life, Grandfather Chapito granted her a rebirth, her gift of life and reunion with her BEING. Since that moment she has been a disciple of grandparents Chapito Barnett and Francisco Barnett, better known as Pancho Largo. Guardian of the ancestral legacy of the Comcaac tribe, in which the wisdom of the OTAC (Bufo Alvarius toad) is found.
