Nicolas Chaka Schipper Pérez works with a limited number of people each year, so he can offer full presence and attention to each process. This space is kept small on purpose, not for exclusivity, but so each person is fully met. MUSHUK is not for everyone. It is for those who feel the call to go deeper and meet themselves honestly.

MUSHUK is not a program, a quick fix, or something you book casually. It is a threshold.

The word mushuk comes from Kichwa, the language of the lands where I was born. With deep respect for the people, traditions, and teachers I have learned from, I use this word to point to a specific experience. Mushuk does not simply mean new. It means new as in born again from within. It is what emerges after something has ended, dissolved, or completed its cycle. This is renewal through process, not novelty.

An Ethno-Therapeutic Approach

This work is an ethno therapeutic approach that looks at the human being in relation to everything around and within them. It is based on the understanding that we are not separate from our body, our environment, or our experience, and that many of the difficulties we face come from losing that connection.

Ethno therapy focuses on how you relate to yourself. Your sensations, your emotions, your thoughts, your patterns, and the way you respond to life. Instead of only analyzing or trying to fix, it brings attention back to direct experience. What is happening in your body, right now. What is being avoided, held, or repeated.

It also recognizes that what we carry is not only individual. The way we think, react, and feel is shaped by the systems we grew up in and the environments we move through. This approach helps you see what is truly yours and what has been learned, so you can begin to respond from awareness instead of habit.

At its core, this is a process of remembering. Not becoming someone new, but reconnecting with a more natural way of being where the body, the mind, and your actions are in relationship, not in conflict.

It is simple, but not easy. It asks for honesty, presence, and a willingness to meet yourself as you are.

 

The Process

MUSHUK is held in a 1 to 1 format with Nicolas Chaka Schipper Pérez. It is a deeply personal and intuitive process where you are met without roles, without performance, and without the need to be anything other than what is true for you in the moment.

The work is grounded in the ARPI principles:
Awareness
Rest
Purpose
Interaction

These are not steps to follow, but foundations that support the space. Each session is shaped by what you bring.

This is not about becoming someone new. It is about laying down what was never yours to carry.

 

What This Space Offers

Sometimes, before we can open in community, we need a space where everything can be seen without being too much. Where what feels tangled, heavy, or unclear can be met with presence, without overwhelm.

MUSHUK offers that ground.

A space to face what is real.
A space to listen to what is already there.
A space where something in you can begin again, from its own root.

 

Who This Is For

This space is open to anyone who feels the need for support, whether you feel ready or not. You do not need to have it all together to enter this work.

At the same time, this is not an easy process. It asks for honesty, presence, and a willingness to look at what is real, even when it feels uncomfortable.

You come as you are, with whatever you carry. Whether that is confusion, pressure, pain, or simply the sense that something is not aligned.

I also recognize that for some, life is not only internally challenging but shaped by external realities such as instability, displacement, or conflict. If you are moving through something like this, you are welcome here. This space can meet you where you are, with care and respect for your situation.

What matters is not being ready. What matters is a small openness to meet yourself, even if only for a moment.

If something in you is responding, that is enough.

 

How to Join

Send  what you feel you need support with. From there, we will feel together if this is the right moment and place for you to enter this process.

A rare invitation to go beyond performance, beyond healing, into remembrance.

Unlearn - to keep learning ​
