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.

Most beautiful and Transformative Week
Going to Arkana was the single most beautiful and transformative experience of my life. I have been to other retreats in different parts of the world and this is hands down the very best. From the beautiful hearts of the staff and facilitators, to the culinary expertise of the chef and kitchen workers, to the amazing and gifted shamans who work with you to get the most healing out of this experience. The way this Amazon retreat is ran and organized is simply incredible. I can not say enough wonderful things about this place. And you form a deep bond of community and respect and lasting friendships with the people who go through this experience with you. Thank you Arkana!! Thank you thank you thank you!!

A Life-Changing Ayahuasca Experience in the Sacred Valley
My time at Arkana Spiritual Retreat in the Sacred Valley was truly transformative. The ayahuasca ceremonies were beautifully and safely guided, offering profound moments of clarity, healing, and connection that felt deeply personal and life-changing.
The stunning setting, combined with the care and wisdom of the facilitators, created the perfect environment for self-discovery. This experience was an eye-opening new beginning for me—one that has left me with a renewed sense of purpose and gratitude.
For anyone considering an ayahuasca journey, Arkana is the ideal place to start. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

Deep Reverence
Dear Friends,
As a meditation teacher, I never expected to be called to plant medicine, but after experiencing Arkana, my perspective has profoundly shifted. I've gained a deep respect and reverence for the medicine, which has transformed my life.
In my own practice, I serve cacao and blue lotus, but Arkana offers something unique and universal. The facilitators support in itself a powerful medicine.
Maestra Justina, Shaman Misael, and the other Shamans are profound guides of Soul Retrieval through the Icaros' light language.
I'm forever grateful for my personalized Arkana from the Shipibo tribe, to listen to at home sealing the medicine even further with wisdom and love.
With unconditional love and deep reverence,
Tolo Aria

Personal Growth
For years, I have struggled with personal growth. I have continuously heard throughout my lifetime that the only way to experience growth and to personally grow is to get out of your comfort zone. I, like many others, struggle with this. I have tried numerous strategies in order to grow, so that I may feel more free mentally as well as spiritually. I had read about plant medicine for years and decided that it was time. I needed this growth and I was honestly tired of trying to get out of my comfort zone with little to no positive results. Arkana catapulted me off the edge towards my personal growth journey as well as my spiritual journey and has given me the tools I have needed my entire life in order to make it happen and to actually make progress on this journey. I believe that without Arkana, I would still be stuck in my own comfort zone which was starting to make me feel like a prisoner. It gave me a deep and insightful look at my inner being and made me aware of what I need to change, my weaknesses, and how to move forward in life. It has brought about change in my life that I could have never anticipated and actually made me excited about the future and my future growth. I could never have gotten to this point without the great help of Arkana 🙏

Amazing and Outstanding Experience
This may be a long one, but in a nutshell, Arkana has been the most transformational experience of my life and I will whole-heartedly recommend going there to any and everyone.
Before coming to Arkana, I had been meditating for around 6 years and been in therapy for 4 years. Both those were helpful, however, the medicine allowed me to see my vulnerabilities and pain in a way that therapy and meditation just were not able to. You see yourself for what you are, shorn of all defense mechanisms and pretenses. It is scary, sad, painful but also liberating and freeing. The medicine is made in the facility itself, which is a big plus point.
The facility itself is outstanding – in the middle of th Amazon jungle – the quality of the rooms, the daily house-keeping (which is not just done for formality’s sake but done in a really good way), the matresses which rival that of a top hotel and even the storage spaces are to good to believe. Even the bathrooms and toilets were nicely done up and super convenient to use.
The food was a big surprise to me. Each meal is a healthy FEAST – I mean I could eat this food on a daily basis. I cannot believe I am saying this for a salt and caffeine and red meat free diet, but I really miss the food there.
There are 3-4 paces there for meditating, yoga or just chilling. Each space is thoughtfully done up and is very inviting.
Equally, probably more surprising then the food is the existence of a gym which has all the equipment you can need – from dumbbells to barbells to kettlebells to a smith machine to a pull up bar to TRX to machines for lateral raises etc. I used the gym 6 times during my 7 day stay there!!
For me, however, the highlight of the trip was the amazing and giving attitude of the facilitators and the sheer presence of the Shamans. We were a group of 10 and had 5 shamans for each of the 4 ceremonies. This ratio of 2:1 is just mind blowing.
This was my first experience with the medicine and I do not have a reference point, but I can say that the ikaroos was beautiful and so touching. It made me sit up in literal rapture and I felt like my body and thoughts were being controlled by a power that is beyond my limited comprehension.
The facilitators themselves were amazing. They were there with a genuine desire to help us in our journey and to see us heal. It is not easy nor fun to take care of people who are losing their sense of reality under the influence of the medicine and can barely stand, but these guys did so and without a single complaint and a big smile on their face. Happiness and positivity is contagious and the facilitators were all super-spreaders!!
The overall vibe of the place was of healing and acceptance, which, to me, was a very important part of the experience. They were available for any questions or queries that we had and were happy to resolve them. As a plus point, they all play musical instruments and very well at that. Each time any of us was having a difficult experience, there was someone there to take care of us who knew what they were doing.
Though I did not get a chance to meet the owner, all things I heard about him were just great. He himself has an attitude of helping others rather than just making money and that really shows in how the place is run. So, kudos to the entire team for giving me an unforgettable experience.
