"The mountain is our Guru. It has all the teachings one needs to transform into something more than they already are. The more time you spend in devotion to Creation, the more you grow."
The Devotion
Amaru Mayu, the Serpent River, biosphere of the Upper Mother of God region; sacred, wild, and whole. For over 30 years, ASPRIDEQ, has stood as guardian to 1,000 hectares of Primary Amazon Rainforest; cradling the movement under the canopy, the footfalls of the elusive ones. Bordering the mythic lands of Manu National Park, a sacred veil to the Uncontacted, Amaru Mayu is not merely a reserve, but a living Temple of Biodiversity. An Ambiental oasis pulsing at the heart of the planet.
Here, the emergent and canopy layers are not just ecological strata, they are the spires of a green cathedral, allowing the great animal refuge to move effortlessly. Those who have walked this path of protection, and those who continue to tend its soul, are honored as Earth’s stewards. Out of the embrace of this organization, IGNODO Nature Temple has emerged, like a new flame from an ancient fire, carrying forward the lineage of living reciprocity.
For the last decade, Joseph has walked as both guardian and initiate of the Amaru Mayu Biosphere, listening to its voices, learning its rhythms, and offering himself in reciprocity. Before arriving to this biosphere, his life was being tempered through trials that taught him to meet uncertainty with steady presence and to transform scarcity into a practice of grace. His path upon the decaying and blooming ground drew him further into the mystery of Creation, dissolving the boundaries between self and world. Through IGNODO, Joseph now carries these initiations into service, sharing wellness technologies, internal arts, and tools of transformation that have guided his own life and supported many others. His offerings are not calls for followers but invitations to remembrance, an opening into co-creation, inclusivity, and reverence for the living Earth, where we walk together with conscious intention.
For over 25 years, Geraldine has guided seekers through the ecological web of her homeland; from the emerald forest of the Amazon to the high-altitude Andes mountains. As a child, she played in the ancient tunnels of Saqsaywaman, whispered to the elementals in hidden groves, and swam in the oxbow lakes where jaguars and spirit's drink. Her apprenticeship began not in classrooms, but in communion with elders, with landscapes, with the mythic pulse of South Americas living ecosystems. Geomythica, where she opens portals into the soul of the Andes, where culture is lived, land is alive, and every journey becomes a rite of return.
