Ayahuasca and our shamanic retreats in Peru…
In a retreat with us in Peru you will be granted a very special treatment, with unmatched personal attention and utmost care, in a supportive, genuine, peaceful, happy and very friendly environment. Almost all (or better, the vast majority) of our programmes, however, feature the Ayahuasca experience (at different degrees of intensity and potency). Please carefully read the information provided here before inquiring for more details & booking your place.
Should your physical and mental conditions be such that it won’t be possible for you to responsibly drink Ayahuasca (i.e. if you are on incompatible medications, or have an incompatible condition, like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder), you may still be accepted at the retreat, and you can still take part to the Ayahuasca ceremonies at night with the shaman (essential for a diagnostic and monitoring the progress of a therapy), but you may not be drinking Ayahuasca, Toe’, San Pedro, or Camalonga. Participants who cannot drink Ayahuasca may be still allowed to drink the concentrated master trees brew (prepared with the bark of 35+ different master trees & vines), or the tea prepared with the freshly harvested bark of an individual master tree, left in water infusion – if enrolling in the shamanic healing diet.
Guests who wish to enrol in the shamanic plant diet apprenticeship in our centre, in the Peruvian Amazon jungle, should ideally have already been successfully exposed to the Ayahuasca experience, even though this is not a pre-requisite as such, as long as your health conditions will allow you to have a safe journey with the magical medicine!
An highly experienced on-site facilitator – who will act as Spanish-English guide and local coordinator – is provided as a courtesy, during all our shamanic retreats in Peru.
