Plants & Miracles — Flight of Eagle and Condor
About Chaiconi Bari
Chaiconi Bari is Shipibo-Conibo in origin. Chaiconi speaks to the wisdom Spirits that are invisible to human eyeballs but can be seen when the physical Third Eye or pineal is activated with DMT and through the non-physical Spiritual Eye of the Holy Spirit, the Eye of Light. These are Spirits of the plants and angels — Spirits of our ancestors and shamans who have crossed over and now watch over this great tradition from a higher realm. They all work together as Love's messengers for the Lord of Wisdom, the Great Chiaconi, Whose mighty Wings we all fly on.
Bari means a radiant circular energy field that nurtures and sustains life. Used without Chaiconi it means the physical sun. Used alongside it, it stands for the Holy Spirit, the Mind of the Atonement where the Christ stands revealed in the Halo. The Holy One extends the Light of God onto us unveiling the Golden Halo as the Face of Christ and Unified Mind of Light.
"The Atonement is the knowledge that the belief that angels can fall is false." — Jesus, ACIM T-1.35.7:6
This teaching has been symbolized in the ancient works of priests and priestesses as the teaching of the Winged Sun for at least 3,500 years. We now offer it to you as the Plants & Miracles — Flight of Eagle and Condor teaching.
The Eagle — Western Mind of Medicine
The Eagle represents the resurrected one who wrote A Course in Miracles — the Spirit of Yeshua. The Course is a self-study spiritual thought system that teaches that the way to universal love and peace is by undoing guilt through forgiving others. Its 76 Miracle Principles form the cognitive backbone of our teaching.
The Condor — Indigenous Mind of Plant Wisdom
The Condor is the Spirit of Ayahuasca, known as the Vine of the Soul and Cosmic Serpent. A great teacher of the Sacred Manuscript of Nature and the Jungle Book. For thousands of years, indigenous healers have worked with master plants as sacred allies in the healing of the mind and spirit.
The Barn Owl — The Two Become One
When the Eagle and the Condor fly together, they become the Barn Owl — symbolizing Single-Mindedness and seraphic (angelic) teaching. The two teachings now live in harmony to heal mankind. When the Eagle and Condor fly together, the illusion of attack dissolves and only love remains.
Together they fly as one bird shining in the oneness of the Golden Halo.

Retreat Topics
Miracle or True Forgiveness
True forgiveness is not pardoning someone for what they did — it is the recognition that in truth, nothing real was ever harmed. The miracle of forgiveness sees past the body's story to the guiltless Self that resides in everyone. When you respond with compassion instead of defense, you offer the miracle — and the inner light that shines from you illuminates both giver and receiver. This is the heart of A Course in Miracles. Every act of love is a miracle — a shift from the ego's perception of fear to the Holy Spirit's perception of forgiveness and innocence.
Real Intimacy
Real intimacy is not found through the body's pursuit of pleasure — it is the recognition of the Christ in another. When the Spiritual Eye opens, you see past the physical form to the radiant light that is the true Self in everyone. This is the intimacy the Course teaches: not joining bodies, but joining minds in the shared recognition of innocence. In this recognition, the illusion of separation dissolves and what remains is the deep peace of union.
Spiritual Sexuality
Spiritual sexuality is the shift from body-identification to soul-identification in the realm of intimacy. The ego uses sexuality for projection — to get, to possess, to prove worth. The Holy Spirit uses it for extension — to give, to share, to honor the divine in your partner. When sexuality becomes an act of love rather than an act of the body, it mirrors the creative extension of God. This teaching restores the sacred to what the ego has made profane.
Life Can Be SO Challenging
The ego's world is designed to be challenging — that is its purpose. It keeps you in a state of fear, guilt, and seeking so that you never look within to find the cause of all experience: your own mind. When life feels overwhelming, it is the ego's voice telling you that you are powerless. But as the Course asks: 'Do you not see that all your misery comes from the strange belief that you are powerless?' The escape begins the moment you accept that you are the cause, not the effect.
The Addiction to Thinking
The ego addict is addicted to thinking — to the constant mental commentary that judges, compares, and defends. This addiction keeps you locked in the ego's thought system, unable to hear the Holy Spirit's gentle correction. The practice of Sacred Silence — the willingness to quiet the mind and listen — is the beginning of release. In ceremony and in daily life, the plant wisdom assists in breaking this addiction, revealing the stillness beneath the noise where the Voice for God speaks.
A Course In Miracles & Helpful Magic
A Course in Miracles provides the cognitive framework — the 76 Miracle Principles that take you from body-identification to soul-identification. The shamanic plant wisdom tradition provides the experiential amplification — the sacred brew that brings these principles to life so you can experience them directly, not merely understand them intellectually. Together, they are what Kenney calls 'Helpful Magic' — the Eagle and the Condor united in a single gaze. The Barn Owl, our symbol, represents this union: the two birds flying as one.
A Journey Through Spiritual Principles
Our teaching is a journey through spiritual principles — from the 76 Miracle Principles of ACIM to the shamanic wisdom of the curanderos, from the Eagle and the Condor to the Golden Halo of Light. Each principle builds on the last: forgiveness opens the door, the Sacred Silence reveals what is beyond it, and the Spiritual Eye perceives the real world that the ego's perception hides. This is not a journey outward — it is a journey inward, back to the Self you never left.
Real Spiritual Life Manifestation
Real manifestation is not the ego's law of attraction — it is the Holy Spirit's law of extension. The ego wants to manifest things to fill the perceived lack. The Holy Spirit extends love because there is no lack — only the abundant recognition that everything has already been given. When you shift from projecting (making) to extending (creating), you change what you perceive. This is the Mariah level — where the mind recognizes no limits and what you offer returns to you multiplied.
The Nature of Addiction
All addiction is the ego's attempt to fill the void it created — to seek outside what can only be found within. The addiction to substances, to thinking, to drama, to control — all of it stems from the same source: the belief that you are separate from God and must find completion in the world. The sacred brew, properly guided, reveals this pattern so you can see it clearly and choose again. The Dieta — the preparation and discipline — is the framework for that choice.
The Beginning of the End of Division
The Eagle and the Condor prophecy speaks of the end of division — the Western mind and the Indigenous mind joined as one. This is not merely cultural reconciliation — it is the end of the ego's fundamental division: the belief that you are separate from your Creator. When Single-Mindedness is achieved, the two thought systems (fear and love) are resolved into one. The Barn Owl — two birds flying as one — is the symbol of this union. The escape from darkness begins here.
Chaiconi Bari Retreats
Sacred ceremonies with traditional curanderos in the Peruvian Amazon. Our intimate retreats honor a 7-generation lineage recipe and the Plants & Miracles teaching.
Welcome to our retreat offerings. So glad you found us. This is a beautiful reflection of your healing mind as it moves towards the Atonement of One Self. The teachings here offer the Answer to two questions that you ask yourself all the time:
“How does real inner peace come about?” and “What is a life of meaning?”
The Answer will forever be true-forgiveness of your Self. Do you want to learn what miracle-forgiveness is taught by a resurrected mind? Do you want to discover a life of illumination vision? The two questions are the same and so is the Answer.
— Isaiah Kenney
