My experience on my first Blue Morpho retreat was simply top-class, best-in-class. I had been on other similar retreats in the past, and while I appreciate them for what they were, Blue Morpho was just on a whole other level. The safety, support, and guidance I received in every aspect of the retreat was unparalleled, with the entire staff being professional and competent to a degree that really impressed me. I had known of Maestro Hamilton and his caliber for many years through articles, podcasts, books, and courses, so I admit my expectations were somewhat high, but he and the retreat honestly exceeded my expectations. As a business owner, his care, insight, and attention to detail were self-evident. As a ceremonial facilitator, his experience, knowledge, compassion, and abilities were... profound. For me, he embodies the term 'master' in terms of any trade. His ability to translate the traditional Amazonian practices and the ceremonial experience into terms accessible and understandable to Westerners is priceless, as are his contributions to evolving these practices. The group of participants Blue Morpho attracted was also magical and unforgettable and added even more quality to the experience. Although I take this work very seriously, and Blue Morpho certainly does as well, the retreat turned out, overall, to also be very much FUN. I consider it a genuine blessing to have been able to attend a Blue Morpho retreat and to have worked with Maestro Hamilton and his staff. It was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life, and my gratitude runs deep. I completely recommend them to anyone who is genuinely interested in this type of work, regardless of their experience level.

Profound healing, transformation at Blue Morpho
The best two weeks of my life, 10 out of 10. I truly cannot give a higher commendation to Blue Morpho, the teachings, the medicine, the ceremonies, the CARE. I felt not only welcomed ~ but honored ~ at both retreats I have attended. Honored as a being, a soul, deeply cared for and about. I feel liberated ~ from ancient traumas, abuses, mental and emotional anguish that have plagued my life from a young age, battling suicidal inclinations, questioning whether my life was even worth living. Decades of suffering has come to an end, and it is thanks to Maestro Hamilton and the Amazonian lineage he both embraced, and was embraced by. His passion, dedication, sincerity of heart, extensive knowledge and experience, and clear mastery of his medicine work, is evident in every ceremony, in each teaching. Attending these Blue Morpho retreats has been the absolute greatest gift I have ever given myself. Deep gratitude to both Maestro Hamilton, and the whole team.

This place saved me from drug addiction
I just went on another tour. The medicine is wonderful here. If you or anyone you know has addiction issues, mental health issues, even some physical issues this is the place to go. Got anxiety? Go here. You want spiritual growth? Go here. You choose to change.
I have been going to Blue Morpho since 2006. I went every year from 2006-2013. Then I had kids. I went back this October of 2022. All I can say is, “Wow!” The ayahuasca is amazing. The medicine is so pure and loving. It’s the real deal. I am so grateful for Blue Morpho. You will not be disappointed!

The Real Deal
If you're looking for deep healing, divine knowledge and a deep communion with the All that is, look no further. Maestro Hamilton is a true Maestro, his relationship with everything is like no other. I had specific healing I was looking for and by the 3rd night, it was gone! Maestro Hamilton does not hold all the knowledge to himself, he's a teacher as well. I am forever grateful to have met him, choose your teachers wisely!

December 2025 Retrat
Amazing week at Blue Morpho. Hamilton and his team are the best. I have been to other retreats which were good but having Hamilton as our Shaman was next level to say the least. Highly recommended. The retreat centre was right in the jungle - the place was spotless. The massages were excellent - the food was great and the ceremonies were well guided.
