Arkana Spiritual Center

I spent two weeks at Arkana Sacred Valley for my second experience working with the medicine, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place. What drew me to Arkana was their deep respect for the Shipibo traditions and the authenticity with which they hold their ceremonies. A few friends had also recommended it, and now I know why.

From the moment you’re picked up to the moment you’re dropped off, everything is flawlessly organized. You truly don’t need to worry about a thing—just relax, be present, and focus on your journey.

As a bilingual guest, I felt incredibly welcomed. I was able to connect with everyone—from the facilitators to the kitchen staff, reception team, and even the cleaning crew. The sense of community and warmth is undeniable. The facilitators were especially supportive, always available to help with integration or simply share meaningful conversations, laughter, and love.

I came in with intentions, but what unfolded went beyond what I imagined. One of the most beautiful lessons I took with me was realizing how deeply love can be felt among strangers walking the same path.

A heartfelt shoutout to everyone who made this journey so special. The support doesn’t end when the retreat does—you truly become part of the Arkana family, and they remain available to support you afterward.

I 100% recommend Arkana. It’s a genuine, heart-centered space—refreshingly different from the many commercial retreats out there today. Read More

Based on research from various websites, I decided to try Ayahuasca at Arkana due to its price, retreat options, and venue. The experience was unique. Although I did not experience significant cathartic effects from the medicine, it was a notable event. The shamans, facilitators, and staff were professional and attentive. The facility is clean and located in the Peruvian jungle. For those interested in this type of experience, Arkana is a recommended option. Read More

Don’t be afraid! It’s time to heal.
I can’t remember exactly how I came upon Arkana. I think I was ready to change. But I had a lot of hesitation- Taking Ayahuasca? - it’s so out of the box for so many of us. As a believer in Christ Jesus, could I even do this?
Yet who wants to stay stuck? Ayahuasca is a healer. It’s sitting down with a gentle instructive mother. The love and care of the staff to support you as you heal is a warm blanket of compassion. The flow of the program is designed to help you wade into the unknown gently.
The facility is top-notch. The food is abundant and the best the earth can offer, fresh, colorful and delicious. The group discussions help you process and support others in their healing.
After my experience, what has changed? For me, my internal emotional temperature has smoothed. I see from a larger frame. I’ve developed a compassionate heart towards those that struggle and hurt. I feel loved more (if that’s possible) by God. I would describe my life as more restful. I will go back. I hope you take the step. Read More

This was my second retreat at Arkana Spiritual Center—and definitely not the last. There is simply no better place to dive deep into yourself, heal, and grow. The center itself is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature, calm, and intention. You feel safe the moment you arrive.

The staff, the owner, and the shamans are all beyond words—so present, loving, and deeply committed to holding space in the most authentic way. The energy at Arkana is powerful yet nurturing. Everything is done with such care, respect for the medicine, and genuine support for each individual’s journey.

If you’re looking for a safe, heart-centered, and transformational space, Arkana is it. I’m deeply grateful for this experience, again, and I know I’ll be returning. Read More
