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.

Everyone should go at least once.......

One of the best experiences of my life. The facilities were top notch! One would think out in the middle of the jungle would be really roughing it. I had a king size bed, fan over the bed, mosquito netting, cute suite with a large shower and plenty of space. The staff took care of the tiniest of details to folding my clothes to remembering I didn't like a particular food. We also were fortunate enough to visit the Sacred Valley sight as well, much more boutique hotel than eco lodge but the food was once again excellent and the staff just as attentive.

The work being done was intense but very safe. The facilitators were extremely attentive to each person in real time during ceremonies, before and after as well. Always checking in to make sure your experience was going well.

If you are hearing the call from mother Aya...this would be the only place I would go. This was the most authentic, safe, and loving adventure. Read More

A place beyond anything I could have imagined!

Coming to Arkana, I had very high expectations I must say. I had previously sat with aya in the Peruvian jungle, so I thought I knew what to expect. But what I found here was something far beyond anything I could have imagined.

Everything was just absolutely perfect, down to the smallest detail. From the thoughtfully designed daily schedules, to the breathtaking ceremonies and the incredibly fresh food served every day. I honestly didn’t know a place like this could exist!

The entire team was incredibly presence and caring. It felt like they had been doing this forever. There was always someone to talk to, always someone holding space.
And the shamans, wow! They didn’t just guide the ceremonies, they were deeply involved in our personal healing processes throughout the retreat. It all felt deeply genuine and extremely safe.

Having José, the founder and owner, present at the retreat – listening to us, sharing his own stories, and being one of us, was just the icing on the cake.

I am deeply filled with gratitude. Huge thanks to everyone involved – what an honor it is to now be part of the Arkana family! 🙏🏼 ✨ Read More

How humans are meant to be living

Humans are social creatures. I had forgotten that. Withdrawing from my friends and family and spending most of my time in my room with the curtains closed. Stuck on autopilot and addicted to everything bad for me. I decided to make a change and purchase a week at Arkana in Peru. It is one of the best decisions i have made. In terms of location it is the most beautiful place i have visited and the home of ayahuasca. I had never seen the milky way galaxy before coming here. You are blessed to see the amazing wildlife of the jungle in the day. Going to a ceremony takes you back in time and you will hear the most beautiful music. The people you meet here at arkana will be your family for life. I leave arkana with a plan to improve my life and social connections i will be carrying forward. I am so greatly honoured to have this experience and recommend you to step into the unknown and try it. You'll thank yourself. Read More

The Healing is Real

I have visited the Peruvian Jungle location twice, 2023 and 2025. The place, the people, and the vibes are impeccable. When I meditate at home I am often transported back to the ceremonies I have sat in, in the presence of the Shamanes and facilitators who helped me and many others. Because of the healing I received I feel like I have a chance and will do my part to make the most of my life. Stop and listen to nature, to yourself. Thank you, Team Arkana! Read More

Beyond words…a healing so real it rewrote my soul!

In July 2025, I experienced something at Arkana Amazon that no words can fully contain—but I’ll try, because someone out there needs this like I did.

I came in carrying years of pain, confusion, and emotional baggage. Western therapy gave me language—but Arkana gave me liberation. In just one week, I felt like I lived through ten years of breakthroughs. Not intellectually. Spiritually. Emotionally. Cellularly.

This isn’t a retreat. It’s a rebirth.
The jungle holds you. The medicine sees you.
And the people? They walk beside you with a kind of sacred love I’ve never felt anywhere else.

Every song, every ceremony, every still moment under the stars chipped away at who I wasn’t… and revealed who I truly am. I left with clarity, strength, peace, and a connection to something greater…something real.

I’m writing this not just as a review, but as a prayer for whoever reads it:
If you feel stuck, broken, numb, or lost…just go.
Let Arkana show you the mirror of your soul, and help you fall in love with what you see.

12 out of 10 doesn’t cut it. This place is infinity out of 10.
I would go back a thousand times, and if I could give this gift to everyone I love….I would.

In fact, I hope I can.
One person I love desperately needs this healing but can’t afford it. If this review opens that door for them, I’ll be forever grateful.

Because Arkana doesn’t just change lives…it saves them.
One heart, one soul, one sacred journey at a time. Read More
