About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

In the Upper Amazon of Peru, Ayahuasca is part of a broader holistic medicine system which greatly relies upon deep immersion fasting with a range of powerful medicinal teacher plants. This process is traditionally referred to as a “dieta”.Our 21 day Dieta is an intensive personal journey aimed at taking you into deep levels of cleansing, expansion and healing for mind body and spirit through the practices outlined below. It is through this process that the Maestros we work with have trained themselves. This is because dieta, when done right not only teaches and heals but also protects us on all levels and helps to manifest our dreams with clarity and magnetism.These dieta’s are serious spiritual work for mature people who are prepared to focus, surrender and receive the immense wisdom and healing available through this ancient traditional path. It is a delicate process that involves, preparation and adherence to strict guidelines before, during and after the retreat, not doing so can cause serious problems. Read more here.Stripping back the distractions of mind and society, assists us in creating the condition to reveal our true nature, our purpose on this earth, our heart’s truth. Also, when we are dealing with physical illness, as many are it takes time for the right plants to get deeply into our beings so that healing can occur.This is why Ayahuasca alone is not always enough and we suggest other plants are used as well in the dieta process.There are many spiritual paths to healing, but for those who feel called to plant medicine, it is a clear and heartfelt call, one worth listening too. The plants are living conscious beings that we enter a lasting relationships with and gain much from.Please note: Dieta is a very Delicate process. If you participate in a master plant diet with us you MUST follow a 30 day Post-Diet upon leaving. Not doing so can result in serious illness both spiritual and physical. Please consider this when making travel plans.Read more about Post Dieta here.Our 21 Day Ayahuasca and Master Plant Dieta includes Mapacho Tobacco Purge 7 Ayahuasca ceremonies with Peruvian Master Shaman (sometimes more)Master Plants personally chosen for you by the Maestro/Shaman through a process of interview and energetic diagnosis to meet your specific needs.All meals provided in line with traditional dieta process however can cater for most dietary requirements such as allergies, vegan etc.Accommodation in your own private hut.

Not for first timers.
This retreat is not for first timers. You must be prepared to spend two weeks in the open jungle. The place is still in development, the management is improving with new staff. This place is not for the timid or faint of heart. And be prepared to spend days alone with your books and or electronics although those devices are not suggested during your dieta. If you've done aya before and need healing or direction, this might be the place you need.

My only center
I have come to appreciate my first ayahuasca dieta at the Garden of Peace more and more as each year passes. As I experience the medicine with other groups, I realize how special and gifted Lara, Ashely & the Curanderos are here. I can't wait to go back when the time is right for me. Miss you guys! Other centers just don't compare.

7 day Ayahuasca Detox
The Garden of Peace is such a safe, beautiful and harmonious environment to do medicine work on yourself. The team hosting us and our shaman were so accommodating and in tuned with everyones needs. Could have not wished for a better place to start my healing journey with the plants <3

Two Retreats at The Garden of Peace
I fully and completely recommend ANY retreat at The Garden of Peace. This has been my life and path for several years and from personal experience I can tell you that there's a lot of crazy stuff happening in the world of plant medicine, and dangerous stuff, especially in Peru. But this is a completely SAFE space. Run by knowledgeable westerners with full commitment to the plant medicine path and with deep integrity and huge hearts-- the magical Lara, handpicks the Maestras and Maestros who come, and she's utterly gifted. She also handpicks truly phenomenal support staff. You will be beautifully cared for and supported, and totally safe here. (Tarapoto, the nearest city, is also the safest city in Peru--the locals pride themselves on that.)

I was blessed to attend the Women's Retreat with Maestra Reyna in 2017, who is a superb and loving healer. The dieta were amazing, powerful, very deep. And then again during the recent 30 day with Gumercino--holy wow. Phenomenal dieta, powerful powerful healing. Gumer doesn't claim the title of Maestro, but he certainly works like one, and he's the clearest healer I've worked with. Both retreats offered me everything I hoped for, and so much more.

The center itself is gorgeously rustic--a beautiful jungle property full of medicinal plants and wildlife, individual cassita, stone steps set in the hillsides, and the Shambo Yaku River to swim and bathe in, as well as safe natural spring water to drink, healthy vegetarian meals cooked with love and care, and a gorgeous maloka for ceremony. But it IS the jungle, not a luxury hotel, and part of the healing experience is letting go of the Western comforts and surrendering to a simple and natural existence. I am in love with the center and all it's beautiful people.

Lovely retreat
I went on the 10 day yoga retreat and it was fantastic! I’m not a big traveller and I don’t speak Spanish at all and it was my first solo trip. Lara and her team were so welcoming and kind. The yoga was a great mix with the ayahuasca ceremonies and I have been more flexible in my body even since this trip, which was over 3 months ago. The retreat grounds are beautiful and the solitude is a great reset for the mind. I highly recommend going on this retreat if you are thinking about it!
