About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Retreat Details:

Upon arrival to our Sacred Valley Center, which is nestled in the mountains on the expansive banks of the Urubamba River, you are greeted by our loving staff of facilitators and healers. This center is a community of loving healers.

The serene and mystical Sacred Valley of Peru is considered one of the most energetically powerful places on Earth. We find that simply being in the presence of the ancient Andean mountains, historical archeological zones, and crisp air, offers wisdom and deep nourishment for the mind, body, and spirit.
Experience the sacred healing power of plant medicines, 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.

Our entire program is structured around our sacred plant medicine ceremonies and holistic therapies.

Life Changing Experience

My experience at Arkana was truly life-changing, and I can't express enough how incredible everything was. From the facilitators, shamans, and staff to the retreat location and accommodations, every detail was executed thoughtfully. The entire experience was so well-organized, which brought me comfort as a first-time visitor and newcomer to plant medicine.

Mother Ayahuasca altered the course of my life in ways I could never have imagined. My mind has never felt so calm and clear—it's like driving down a quiet, one-lane highway with only my thoughts guiding the way. For the first time, I am in control of my mind, and I have discovered a level of inner peace I never thought was possible. The healing I received from both Aya and the shamans was nothing short of profound—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Though it was the most challenging experience of my life, there were countless beautiful moments of bliss and enlightenment. During my journey, I reconnected with my late grandmother, relived past lives, and was able to deeply reflect on who I am and who I've become. The healing and growth were beyond anything I could have hoped for.

I wholeheartedly recommend Ayahuasca at Arkana. The retreat creates a safe, sacred space that draws in individuals seeking higher consciousness and personal transformation. The experience is beautiful, but be prepared for some dark moments—it's all part of the process, and you will emerge a more powerful, awakened being. I wish everyone an unforgettable, safe, and truly life-changing journey. Read More

A Life-Changing Journey at Arkana Spiritual Retreat Center

My experience at Arkana Spiritual Retreat Center was nothing short of transformational. From the moment I arrived, I felt held in the safest, most supportive container, allowing me to fully surrender to the deep healing that awaited. The facilitation was beyond incredible—every ceremony, whether with Ayahuasca, Wachuma, or Hapé, was guided with profound wisdom, care, and reverence.

Through these sacred medicines, I journeyed into the depths of my soul, uncovering and releasing what no longer served me. Hapé, in particular, helped me ground and clear my mind, deepening my connection to my intentions before and after the ceremonies. I came home with a fully restored heart, a deeper sense of purpose, and a renewed connection to my path. Almost immediately, I saw shifts in my work and relationships—everything became more vibrant, abundant, and aligned.

Arkana is not just a retreat center; it is a sanctuary for the soul. If you are seeking deep healing, clarity, and a true reset, this is the place. I am forever grateful for this experience and the incredible team and fellow participants who made it all possible. 🙏✨ Read More

A place of transformation

Arkana is more than can be put into words. The center is beautifully situated on the Ucayali river, home to the Shipibo people whose healing tradition is at the core the retreat.
The staff took beautiful care of us, providing healthy, fresh, delicious food, serene and magical accommodations, and an environment that was relaxing and healing in itself.
The facilitators together generated a place where we felt cushioned by kindness, and love, protected and valued. They have thought so carefully about the pace of the week, with the ceremonies anchoring other formal times for ritual, meditation, breath work, yoga, jungle experiences, and ample time to talk with other members of the cohort.
The Shipibo shamans are blessed people who transform with their unconditional, insistent, powerful love. There is a place on earth of pure healing love and it is here. I have the deepest gratitude to have found my way to Arkana. Read More

The only place to do an Ayahuasca retreat

Incredible weeklong retreat at Arkana. Everything was top notch. The location and facilities in the middle of the jungle are beautiful, the staff is incredibly kind and professional and really pay attention to detail, everything is meticulously cleaned, the food is incredibly tasty, healthy, and beautifully presented, the facilitators are incredible angels that will help you throughout your ceremonies and your stay, and of course the team of shaman are kind, wise, experienced, and have beautiful hearts to help us foreigners partake in their healing traditions and power. Highly recommend to anyone considering an ayahuasca retreat. Would not recommend doing it any other way! Read More

The best part of my Cusco trip.

My stay was at Sacred Valley. Sure, the place is beautiful and the food is amazing but the best part for me was the facilitators. The staff truly understands what you’re going through (perhaps more than even you). They’ve all clearly had their own struggles and will give you the time and space to work on yourself while providing support when needed. I highly recommend this place. Read More
