People yearn for greater understanding of spirituality. There is a strong perception of lack of balance between this world and the World of Spirit. Many feel the planet is out of harmony with itself. The need for spiritual nourishment is profound. As such, now the Luna family has agreed to come forward to share their understanding of the Spirit World, spiritual phenomena, and the natural world as they relate to contemporary life.

The parents of the Luna brothers were both Shamans. They had a vision of building an international center where Shamans from all over the world would come to share wisdom and knowledge with each other.
It would be a place where people seeking spiritual growth and healing could come to live among the Luna family and visiting Shamans. This center would be in the place where the Lunas had lived for generations, Lunahuasi ("home of the Lunas").
Now that vision is taking form. Lunahuasi will soon be open to people from around the world, including scientists, doctors and other professionals who wish to study the healing effects of Shamanism, North American indigenous medicine people (the meeting of the Eagle and the Condor), and anyone who needs spiritual healing.

Lunahuasi is situated between
the Andean mountain range and the coast,
near the town of Puerto Quito.
Lunahuasi exists to preserve
the ancient ways of the Shaman.
It holds the promise of imparting
the central values of Shamanism.

|
Shamans of the Amazon, Peru, Bolivia, the United States, and other countries will visit Lunahuasi on a regular basis. They will share sacred wisdom and participate in sacred rituals with the Lunas.
The Luna family feels it is their responsibility to open their doors to those who are seriously seeking spiritual growth.
At Lunahuasi, visitors will be able to experience spiritual healing. They will know purification with the four vital elements of earth, fire, air, and water.
