Details of this retreat

Retreat Details:

Upon arrival to our Amazon Center, which is nestled on the banks of the Ucayalli River, you are greeted by our loving staff of facilitators and healers. This center is a community of loving healers.

Experience the sacred healing power of plant medicines at their home in the Amazon jungle.  Awaken to your inner truth through witnessing and exploring the beautiful natural 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.

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

Experience of a lifetime!
After losing my son 2 years ago I have been on a healing journey which is what lead me to consider an ayahuasca retreat. After much research about the plant medicine I researched the many retreats around the world. I chose Arkana based on 2 things, one it was in Peru which I believe is the most sacred place on earth, and the reviews were all so positive.
I just returned a week ago from the Sacred Valley retreat. Just the ride from the hotel in Cusco with Bob and the 7 others that were attending made me feel like I made the right choice right away. My experience was life changing. As I walked thru the doors to the retreat, I was immersed in the smell of Palo Santo, and greeted with song and celebration of colorful dancers and singers, complete with a baby Alpaca. The grounds are stunning with the Urubamba River rushing by. I was greeted by. Luke one of the facilitators, he was so kind and caring. The food as others have mentioned prepared by Socrates was out of this would! It was like it was prepared for a Michelin star restaurant. If I could give Arkana 10 stars I would, they see to ever detail to make it as authentic of an experience as you could want. I felt safe and cared for by everyone. I came back feeling the most peace and calm I have ever felt. My friends all say I look like a different person. I plan on returning for another retreat to continue on my healing journey. If you are considering an Ayahuasca retreat look no further. Others in the area charge upwards of $18,000 and the experience is not as safe and authentic. Arkana is a fair price for what they offer.
