Renata Cruz’s Bio

Renata Satil started her path with the ayahuasca 11 years ago, after being trained as an aircraft pilot and deciding to flow into a nomadic life. Throughout these years, the plants and master shamans of the Amazon became her main teachers and she had the privilege of immersing herself into the Yawanawa culture, living at one of their villages in the Amazon and traveling the world as the partner of the oldest son of the highest chief of this tribe during 2 years, helping to organize and hold space in ceremonies in several countries in Europe, South America and Central America. In Mexico Renata was iniciated as Guardian of the Sacred Fire and after this bless she became responsable to gather traditions together. She founded in Tulum, México a ceremonial house and it made posible a visit of many traditions leaders bringing their medicine abroad from the Amazon to the mayas lands. In her hands Renata also holds the gifts of being facilitating sacred circles for women, is a rapeh medicine prayer, cacao and honey ceremonial facilitator, reikiana and thetahealer.

Chris Young’s Bio

Co-Founder, Medicine Man, Purveyor of Tribal Medicine

Founder/Spiritual Guide and Medicine Man Chris founded Soul Quest in September 2013 and established its foundation in April 2015. At a young age, Chris felt the call to help others. In 1996 he obtained a certificate in Phlebotomy and Medical assisting where he then worked in a geropsychiatric Unit. In 1997, Chris went back to school to study Emergency Medicine to obtain certification as an “EMT” and worked as an ER tech at a local hospital. After many years of working in the medical field and seeing how bad legal prescription drugs were killing people, Chris decided to learn more about alternative medicine.

He moved to Germany where he spent three years studying in Europe, gaining extensive experience with Sacred Plant Medicine and Plant medicine ceremonies. This is where he found his spiritual religion, Ayahuasca. After attending many Ayahuasca Ceremonies, he got the calling to bring the medicine to his homeland “The United States” to open an Ayahuasca church and begin the teachings of the Ayahuasca Manifesto, as well as bringing the miraculous healings of the spirit of Ayahuasca to everyone there. Chris chose Orlando, Florida to be ground zero for the Ayahuasca Church for its climate and easy access to its international airports. For the first year, Soul Quest rented a small building in downtown Orlando, called True Serenity. There he was able to begin healing and have church service on a small scale. One year later, Chris and co-founder Verena were able to acquire 4.5 acres of land with a 5000sqft facility where they began to build the Ayahuasca church and healing retreat center. He has his church service at least 3 Sundays a month with weekly group integration via phone and web cast.

Chris is responsible for handling administration and bookings, as well as organizing before, during and after the retreats. In addition, he is actively involved in all Sacred Plant Medicine Ceremonies as the Medicine Man, and he is the primary contact for any questions you may have. Chris is supported by a few traveling shamans (curanderos) and facilitators who provide nurturing guidance and love to care for all church members.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Please note that there will be no refunds or discounts for arriving late, leaving early, flight cancellations, travel delays or illness. If you cancel your participation in a retreat for any reason, the cancellation policy below will apply, with no exceptions. We wish we could compensate people for unforeseen circumstances (injury, family emergency, etc), but we have costs already incurred when reserving retreat centers and hotels. We have designed our cancellation policy to be as compassionate as possible in the case that your plans change. But to protect yourself further, we strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance.

IF YOU CANCEL THE AYAHUASCA RETREAT:
Please send an email to ayahuascachurches@gmail.com or call 407 360 6297 as far advanced as possible. We do not refund your deposit but you can reschedule to any retreat in the future. The exceptions are if you have a medical condition that does not allow you to participate.

IF WE CANCEL THE AYAHUASCA RETREAT:
We have never had to cancel a retreat, however, if we do cancel a trip due too few participants, we will refund to you all deposits and payments you have paid. We cannot, however, compensate you for airfare or travel costs incurred. In the unlikely event that SOUL QUEST AYAHUASCA CHURCH OF MOTHER EARTH must cancel a Ayahuasca retreat due to weather, natural disaster or political upheaval, we cannot guarantee a refund – it will be depending on receiving a refund from the venue / tour operator we work with. To cover these risks, we highly recommend you purchase travel insurance.

TRAVEL INSURANCE:
The best way to protect yourself from any unforeseen circumstance is to purchase trip insurance. Travel Insurance can protect you in case:
• you cancel your participation in the Ayahuasca retreat
• the retreat is canceled due to weather, natural disaster, or not enough participants to run the trip
• lost baggage
• medical expenses and the cost of repatriation should you become ill or injured

We recommend TRAVELGUARD, which offers a variety of travel insurance, including the option for a comprehensive “cancel for any reason” policy. If you cancel your retreat – for any reason – your airfare, hotel, retreat costs, etc. up until 48 hours prior to travel, will be covered. This comprehensive package is called the ” Gold Package Cancel for Any Reason” Policy”. You must contact Travelguard and purchase the policy within 15 days of buying your airline tickets or incurring any costs for any part of your travel. You can also just ensure your air tickets. Travelguard can give you quotes for each scenario.
