I’ve been a part of the Amazon Roots community since 2020, and throughout the years, I’ve participated in ceremonies guided by various medicine people in South Florida . My experiences here, with Amazon Roots, with Kia and Juliana, have been marked by nothing but love, kindness, friendship, and respect.
I’ve invited many with me to sit in sacred space around the fire with them—because I’ve always felt safe, welcomed, and deeply held. I would never bring others, let alone my own children, if I sensed otherwise. Their space is a family environment—one where I’ve sat alongside their children and mine. That says everything about the level of trust, love, and integrity present.
I do not see them ever intentionally causing harm or disrespect to the medicine, the traditions, or the people who come in search of healing, community, and peace. We all carry battles we don’t always speak about—whether we are seen as the teacher or the student. And real wisdom honors that the teacher is always still learning.
This community has shown its commitment to honoring sacred traditions, adapting as needed while keeping the passion for the medicine alive. For that, I am truly grateful.
This community has changed my life. I just started ceremonies in 2023 , at the end of it, I started sitting with Kia, and then I sat with Juliana , and wow , true definition of a power couple. Literally bringing all their kids along for the ride and taking care of a whole community. I am so grateful for their commitment. I really love the vibration of this community, and the authenticity. Thank you again
I have sat with Amazon Roots many times and each time has been a spiritual awakening. I have always been impressed with the care and dedication of the family and have nothing but highest respect and admiration for their commitment to lead spiritual enlightenment.
I have had the pleasure to sit for two sacred ceremonies with Amazon Roots, and both were beautiful, healing, loving ordeals that I would happily repeat again and again.
The respect and reverence with which the ceremonies are undertaken, the openness and loving spirit of the facilitators, the warmth and camaraderie of the other souls in attendance, the serene setting, and the clear mission of healing undertaken by Amazon Roots, all combined to provide the ultimate catalyst for a transformative experience.
I strongly recommend any seekers to find solace here. 🙏❤️
Beloved Relatives,
With a heart full of gratitude and reverence, I offer this letter as a humble expression of appreciation for the sacred path we walk together — the Red Road — and for the Church that protects and honors the ancient wisdom of the sacred plants. You are a living flame of tradition, remembrance, and truth.
In these times of confusion and forgetting, you remain a place where one can return to the center — where Spirit breathes through the fire, the songs, the silence, and the medicine. Here, we are reminded that the journey inward is not a lonely road, but one walked in trust, hand in hand with brothers and sisters, held by the Great Spirit.
Thank you for keeping the door open to those who seek. Through your prayers, your ceremonies, your quiet presence, and your bold truth, you invite each of us to commit — not just for a night, but for life — to the sacred dance between earth and sky. Your example teaches that loyalty to Spirit is loyalty to our true selves, and that through this loyalty, we begin to know peace.
Around the grandpa fire, we are no longer strangers. We are family — not by blood, but by soul. Here, no mask can last. Honest words rise like smoke, and tears are not weakness but water for the seeds of transformation. We sing, we laugh, we grieve, and we remember — who we are, and why we came.
In your embrace, friendship is not small talk. It is ceremony. Brotherhood is not a title. It is responsibility. Unity is not an idea. It is a fire tended by all. Thank you for calling us home — into deeper reflection, into courageous healing, into radical love.
May the circle remain unbroken. May our children’s children still find this path. May we continue to walk upright — with humility, integrity, and strength — guided by the sacred plants, the ancestors, and the whisper of the wind that says: You are never alone.
With love, loyalty, and deep respect,
In the name of creator and all my relations,
Yeldos son of Yerkin
Aho Mitakuye Oyasin — All my relations.

An unforgettable and truly sacred experience
I had the honor of participating in a peyote ceremony guided by Juliana Garcell and her husband Kia , and it was one of the most beautiful, heartfelt experiences of my life. From the moment we arrived on the sacred land, you could feel the deep reverence and care they put into every part of the ceremony. It was a special night June 21,2025 summer solstice which is the shortest night. Its been a long time I did a ceremony for peyote 12 years actually and I couldn’t ask for a more sacred space to do my healing. I thought it was a very powerful.
The leadership, guidance, and prayers offered throughout the night were filled with intention and love. The medicine was shared with deep respect, and the fire was tended to with such sacred care—it was powerful just to witness. They even created a meaningful bird design in the fire with cedar and later transformed it into an altar, which was absolutely breathtaking.
What stood out most to me was the purity of their intentions and the way they held space for everyone involved. This wasn’t just a ceremony—it was a healing, a remembering, and a connection to something much greater. I’m so grateful to have been a part of it.
Thank you, Juliana and Kia , for your devotion and the beauty you bring into this community and the world bringing prayer and peace.
I love this family! They offer both peyote and Ayahuasca , sweat lodges and Kambo ceremonies. The ayahuasca is lead by Juliana who has been doing this on her own for 10 years and she is truly the embodiment of Aya. I also love her talks, her prayers, and her podcast is just so awesome I truly love that she is willing to teach the community everything that she knows so openly. Kia is the embodiment of the divine masculine especially when he is holding down the peyote ceremonies he literally transforms into this shiva looking figure , the divine masculine. It’s so beautiful to see them with all of their four kids together with them
I have been sitting with this group on and off for a few years now! Every time I come back there is significant improvements and I’m always feeling SAFE & well in the space & with who I am sitting with. The space is rooted in safety and I trust both Kia & Juliana to serve me with the highest regard always. They always do a great job explaining & answering questions for anyone that’s has them. I recommend those that have an open mind & are ready to truly do the work to sit with this knowledgeable and AUTHENTIC group!
This church is amazing and changes my life! Thank you Juliana and thank you Kia and your family for all that you do even though it’s clear you have built many haters, your community will always be here for you to support the growth of healing and love and transparency
Grateful for Amazon Roots Family! i feel safe, held & loved here. Grateful to this beautiful family & All their hard work & consistent efforts in helping individuals heal. It’s a safe environment that bridges gaps in community. This family continues to open up their home to everyone and anyone with no judgement and care. I have learned how to express myself through singing at the fire and also incredibly encouraged to express myself with respect and love. It’s beautiful to witness a hardworking family with beautiful children open to share their home and medicine with community with love & care. Iam so grateful to know such authentic and heartfelt human beings!

My experience with Amazon roots was nothing short of transformative and amazing. Leaders who hold the space with incredible wisdom, authenticity, care, and integrity.
If you’re seeking authentic healing, spiritual growth, and a deeper connection to yourself and nature, I highly recommend. This is a place where the medicine is honored and you receive so much support from the community. I keep coming back and feel like this community has become family.
I absolutely love Amazon Roots Family! I have been sitting with them in different ceremonies since 2020 and the integrity is always so strong with this group. Juliana and Kia have created such a beautiful sacred space for healing that challenges our shadows while also calling us to rise into our highest selves. Many elders from tribes come to visit as well, giving an authentic and immersive experience for people to experience the medicine. And it’s always kid & family friendly. Thank you Amazon Roots for being a beacon of light in South Florida!
