Feather Crown healing center
Feather Crown healing center
Feather Crown’s healing center is a beautiful, comfortable and serene therapeutic space for healing and reflection. It is located deep in the Amazonian mountain jungle in the province of Pastaza, Ecuador, about 4 hours from the Quito Airport and 1 hour from Tena and Puyo. It takes just a 5-minute-long walk to reach the center from the road. It has been founded by Jan Rostlinka, a ceremonial leader who is passionate about the protection of the rainforest.
The center owns 23 hectares of private nature reserve bordering with state university’s biological reserve and the Llanganates National Park. It sits on the bank of the Piatua, one of the cleanest rivers on the planet, surrounded by thousands of hectares of pristine forests. This location is unique, energetically pure, and isolated from the distractions of modern civilization. Trails lead visitors through a garden of medicinal, ornamental and edible plants.
The center offers a spacious rounded ceremonial temple with tiled floor and three adjacent flushing tiled toilets. Nearby there is a traditionally constructed hut with campfire, altar and hammocks for resting and socializing
The center offers four wooden cabins for accommodation, each having two rooms. Guests use three separate shared toilets and two shared showers. You can specify the type of accommodation you need:
- room with two beds (shared among partners, friends or visitors of the same sex)
- room with a single bed for people who need to have privacy (additional cost)
Beds are equipped with comfortable orthopedic mattresses, thermic blankets, and personal mosquito nets. The cabins and rooms are natural and chemical-smell-free. Showers occupy hot water. The center has a solar panel system and all rooms are equipped with electric lights and sockets. Free internet Wi-Fi is available in the accommodation huts. Hammocks are available in front of the rooms and in social areas.
