Intimate Ayahuasca retreats grounded in the ancestral wisdom of the Shipibo Lineage with comprehensive integration support, served in the heart of Sacred Valley, Perú.
Our week-long retreats encourage vulnerability and compassion in a heart-based container where profound transformation is catalyzed by the healing properties of Ayahuasca, served by highly-experienced Shipibo Maestros. Complementing traditional indigenous plant medicine ceremonies with a trauma-informed, body-based therapeutic approach, and long-term integration support, we support each guest in an intentional container of safety and community along their ever-unfolding journey of awakening.
Through this life-changing work, we are called to surrender into the rhythm of our hearts, learning to more fully embody the wholeness of our human experience and discover who we truly are, a unique tapestry of what it means to be both fully human and truly divine.
