Peter

Peter is the head facilitator and integration specialist at Mai Niti. With over 28 years of professional experience, including 20 years in managerial roles in the recycled paper industry, Peter honed robust people management skills, team leadership, and conflict resolution. These abilities, supported by certifications in human resources administration, are now central to his current work: guiding guests through their personal transformation processes. He arrived at Mai Niti in 2019 after a radical shift: two years earlier, his first ayahuasca experience and volunteer work with medicine retreats in Vanuatu, Nepal, and Mexico led him to leave his corporate life behind. At the center, he spent his early years immersed in rigorous plant dietas and apprenticeship under Leonardo and Lucila, culminating in a six-month solitary dieta that solidified his curanderismo training. Today, he merges his expertise in navigating interpersonal dynamics with ancestral wisdom to ensure participants not only experience safe ceremonies but also integrate their insights into daily life. His approach, rooted in active listening and adaptability to individual needs, reflects his career in fostering trust and respect—both in corporate environments and spiritual contexts.
