The Jungle called me. I answered.

The jungle has called to me for as long as I can remember, ever since I was a little girl. I don’t know where that love comes from, but I decided to follow it - to Peru, Colombia, Brazil, and other places. Along that path, I felt a very special connection with Peru. My son was even born in Cusco.

I always wondered how I could help protect the jungle that had given me so much. How could I do my part to conserve this incredible ecosystem and, at the same time, build a life and make a living from it?

Long before I experienced the jungle in person, I encountered medicinal plants used in shamanic traditions that changed my life. Later on, when I was finally in the jungle, I experienced life there with a depth and intensity that made me feel I wanted to share some of that gift with others. That was when the idea of Ecstatic Silence was born within me - as another calling in my life.

The heart of Ecstatic Silence

Ecstatic Silence is still at the beginning of its journey. We want to create and offer things that bring quality, pleasure, and joy to people's lives while also contributing to protecting the jungle. For us, the two belong together.

Ecstatic Silence was founded in Panama in February 2026. Our team is small, but it also includes the producers, artisans, and people in Peru with whom we work directly. And, in a way, it also includes every tree, every fruit, and every plant that gives us extraordinary treasures that we, as human beings, could never create on our own.

We work with raw materials sourced from agroforestry systems and natural ecosystems, and with people whose practices help preserve the jungle. We value direct relationships, transparency, respectful treatment, and fair compensation. In our products, we want to share some of the strength, beauty, and vitality of the Peruvian jungle and the people who live there.

We are still at the beginning. And that is also part of our story.

At least 5% of our net profits go to Junglekeepers to contribute to the protection of the Amazon rainforest.
