The inspiration behind the name Kusi Cosmopolitan integrates ancient wisdom and art into a context of modernity and interconnectedness
KUSI is Quechua for “joyful”. Chosen out of love for my Peruvian heritage and a fascination with wisdom originating from ancient civilizations.







With regard to well-being, Andean philosophy revolves around a concept of integral centeredness and a unique vision of time/space regarding the past, the present, and the future. For a more pragmatic interpretation, we can look at it as the center point of a triangle that represents a balanced state of physical, mental, and spiritual health within the four natural elements (fire, water, air, earth).
Cosmopolitan represents the beauty created through the integration of modernity and evolution, a reminder that we are all interconnected, and that the whole is worth much more than the individual parts.
As one of the most powerful mind-altering potions on the planet, Ayahuasca is commonly misunderstood- perceived as a drug, or at best a door into mysticism. While there is some truth to both perceptions, neither give a hint to the powerful healing potential on the psyche or to the endless possibilities for self-knowledge and expansion of consciousness. The end result being a new attitude towards each situation of the past, present, or future: Open, sensitive, intelligent, and void of negative emotion.
