More about Our Retreats
At Anam Cara, we are committed to creating a container that primarily highlights the beautiful work being done by the Maestros and the medicine itself. We truly want the focus to be on deep and transformative medicine work. However, working with plant medicines, specifically Ayahuasca, is a huge decision. Ayahuasca medicine is incredibly powerful and requires a container of integrity and thorough support to work effectively and safely. Although the ceremonies will absolutely be the highlight of your retreat, we emphasize a strong focus on the supportive work being done outside the ceremony space, as well. When plant medicine journeys are coupled with comprehensive, thorough, and long-term preparation and integration, there truly is no limit to the depth of transformation and lasting change possible.
We want to ensure you get the most out of your experience with these sacred plants which is why we work with each guest for weeks before they arrive, helping them prepare physically, emotionally, and spiritually. By building relationships with your fellow retreat goers and with us during the weeks before, feelings of trust, connection, and vulnerability allow much deeper work to be done once you arrive. During the retreat, we provide a number of supportive modalities and practices with movement, breath, sound healing, nature, and deep process work to ensure you’re getting the most out of our healing experience while learning tools to take home with you and better navigate the waves of life. After your retreat, the real work truly begins. We offer 3 months of one-on-one and group integration support to ensure you feel nurtured, supported, and fully prepared for whatever changes or challenges may be ahead. We hope to build life-long relationships with each guest and within each community that sits with us to ensure everyone feels deeply supported through their integration process and can blossom on the ever-unfolding path plant medicines take us on.

Booking and payment instructions
By clicking the above links to register and book your space for our retreats, you will be taken to our booking site hosted by Retreat Guru. There, you will be asked to fill out an in-depth medical history and personal questionnaire. We ask that you please be as thorough, honest, and in-depth as possible when discussing family history, medical history, and any diagnoses, past or present medications, past or present experience with other psychedelics, and all of the questions. It is of the upmost importance when working with a medicine as powerful as Ayahuasca that we have accurate and honest information in order to ensure your approval and safety.
Upon filling out your application, you will submit your questionnaire along with a 40% non-refundable deposit to reserve your space and the remaining balance will be paid on Day 1 of your retreat in cash USD. Upon submitting your application, please know you have not been approved, however, your space will be reserved for you. Please do not buy flights or continue with travel plans until we have approved your application.
Within 3-5 business days we will review your application thoroughly with our medical team and follow up with you via email with your approval email which contains a travel and preparation document. Please read the document thoroughly as it contains very helpful information to consider when booking your travel. We will continue to follow up with you in the weeks after approving your application with next steps and information to help you physically and emotionally prepare for your journey.
In any cases where past or current medical conditions, medications, or diagnoses deem you unfit or unsafe to work with Ayahuasca, we will kindly deny your application and refund your deposit in full.
For any reasons other than medical safety risks at the time of application, retreat deposits are nonrefundable and nontransferable.
If for any other reason you cannot make the retreat you have signed up for, we will speak with you on a case-by-case basis and do our best to move your deposit to a future retreat date depending on circumstances and our availability.
If you need to make changes to your reservation, we may be able to transfer your deposit to another retreat date if we have more than 30 days notice. Cancelations made 30 days within the retreat date window are not refundable or transferable.
