About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Retreat Details:

Upon arrival to our Amazon Center, which is nestled on the banks of the Ucayalli River, you are greeted by our loving staff of facilitators and healers. This center is a community of loving healers.

Experience the sacred healing power of plant medicines at their home in the Amazon jungle.  Awaken to your inner truth through witnessing and exploring the beautiful natural Andean landscape, and cultivate a sense of mindfulness and appreciation for yourself as part of it all.

At Arkana Spiritual Center, we work closely with indigenous shamans and our staff of healers to bring you a comprehensive program deeply rooted in the traditional practices of ancestral medicine.  We offer a safe, caring, and effective space to begin your journey of transformation, helping you every step of the way as you uncover the energetic roots of any trauma, negative thought patterns, unhealthy habits, or spiritual imbalance.
Our carefully constructed program optimizes your healing by incorporating Eastern and modern philosophies for long-term integration into a modern world.

Following your time with us at Arkana, you will return to life back home with a new perspective and a deeper understanding of yourself and your truth, and will be equipped with the skills and tools necessary to integrate your experience into your everyday life.

Life changing experience (actually)
I've done ayahuasca before. I thought I knew what to expect. Arkana showed me how little I actually knew.

Over four nights of ceremony plus a Sapo experience, I went places inside myself I didn't know existed. I found a lonely boy I'd been outrunning my entire adult life. I understood for the first time what has actually been driving my behaviour for four decades. Not the convenient story I'd been telling myself - the real one underneath it.

None of that happens without the facilitators and the Shipibo shamans. What these people carry is extraordinary. The icaros aren't background music - they are the medicine. There were moments the singing reached inside me and pulled something out that I couldn't have accessed any other way.

The entire team created a container where I felt completely safe to fall apart. And I did fall apart. Multiple times. I was humbled, overwhelmed and physically drained. But it felt like home. So much so I want to go back!

I came home a different person. Not in a dramatic, unrecognisable way. In the quiet way that actually sticks. I know what matters now. I know who matters.

If you're considering Arkana and wondering whether it's worth it - it's not a question of worth. It's a question of whether you're ready to see yourself clearly. If you are, there is no better place to do it.

A truly perfectly organised and run retreat for a life-changing experience.
This is, by far, one of the best well-run, most professional, well-organised, caring, and life-changing centres I have ever been to.

I've lived in six different countries over the last ten years, visited over 44 different countries, and stayed in hundreds of thousands of different towns, villages, and remote locations.

This is, by far and easily, in the top three experiences that I have ever encountered.

From the booking experience, from the step-by-step detailed guide on how to get from your location all the way to the centre, to the communication in the build-up, to the information shared on how to get the best out of the experience, to the retreat itself and then the delivery of you back safe and sound into your nearby town. I would love to be able to sit here and say, "If they could do one thing better, it would be X," but there is literally nothing I can think of.

Having had experience with previous plant medicines, I knew that the medicine that Arkana provided would be more intense, and so there was a level of fear going into this experience. A fear that was completely dissipated when I saw the level of professional care and attention to detail that the Arkana Spiritual Centre provides.

My personal experience was from the 24th of May in the Arkana Amazon Centre. Every single member of the Arkana team goes far above and beyond anything I would expect, and the level of hospitality wipes the floor with any five-star hotel I've ever stayed in.

This is an organisation and a centre that truly gets to know you personally and gives you the individual attention to guide you through the journey you need to go on.

I have already recommended this to three people who are thinking about going on this experience, and if there was the ability to give this seven stars out of five, then I would.

Thank you, Arkana. Thank you to all the team. Thank you for the experience you gave me, and thank you for making me feel so safe during this experience.

The Most Magical Place on Earth
Arkana Center is one of the most beautiful places I have ever experienced in my life : not only because of the breathtaking environment but also because of the profound healing power of the medicine and the incredible people who work there.
From the moment I arrived, I could feel the powerful energy of the Amazonian jungle embracing my soul and spirit.
The center is beautifully situated along the river, surrounded by the magic of the rainforest. The accommodations are luxurious and perfectly in harmony with nature. The suites are clean, well-maintained with a minimalist aesthetic to perfectly fit with nature. The food is absolutely delicious and I can truly feel the love and care that goes into every meal.
Every member of the staff at Arkana is supportive, compassionate and genuinely kind. I felt so much cared for every step of the way.
The ceremonies themselves were among the most profound and beautiful experiences of my life. The shamans work with deep wisdom and dedication with the medicine. The experience was far more powerful than I could ever have imagined.
I came to Arkana seeking healing for my body after trying countless other approaches and for the first time, I found a sense of relief. Stored trauma is real and the combination of the medicine, the shamans knowledge and the compassion of everyone at the center helped me reclaiming my health and reconnecting with myself.
I know there is still more depth to explore on this journey. I will be back.
Thank you, Arkana, for everything. This experience has touched my life in ways I will never forget and I will be forever grateful.

Feel Protected while you dedicate to your intention
My experience at Arkana was memorable, peaceful, and heartwarming. The mission and purpose are clear from the moment you meet the facilitators. I was so thankful to know that everything was already planned for us as guests, and that we didn’t have to make any decisions while we were there. Our only purpose was to fully dedicate ourselves to our intentions, be present, and receive the gifts the shamans so kindly shared with us in every ceremony.

There is no doubt I would go back again and again. The Amazon center is truly special, and you can feel its energy as soon as you arrive.

I am so thankful to the entire community that works there and contributes in any way, shape, or form.
