Sacred Medicines
Sapo (from the Bufo Alvarius toad in the Sonoran desert) contains the 5Meo DMT molecule which is also known as the God or Spirit molecule. This short and profound ceremony offers an intense, concentrated, and deeply mystical experience comparable to Hindu experiences of Moksha and Samadhi or Buddhist experiences of Nirvana.

Peyote:  Also known as Hikuri in Mexico, Peyote is a very powerful entheogens sought after for known for their ability to induce altered states of consciousness and their profound healing properties.  It is very effective at treating diseases like depression, social anxiety, PTSD, addiction.  It also heals traces of trauma stemming from physical, mental and sexual abuse.   We will be serving this sacred medicine in its original Wirrarika ritual, guided by Marakame Juan, a Huichol elder from the Highlands of Jalisco.

Psilocybe Mushrooms:  Also known as niños santos (Holy Children) in Mexico, Psilocybe Mushrooms are powerful entheogens sought after for known for their ability to induce altered states of consciousness and their profound healing properties.  They are very effective at treating diseases like depression, social anxiety, PTSD, addiction.  They also heal traces of trauma stemming from physical, mental and sexual abuse.   We will be serving this sacred medicine in its original Mazatec ritual, guided by shamans from the lineage of Abuela Julieta, a member of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers.

LEVEL UP!
I loved the facilitators, the facility, the food was incredibly healthy the excursions were dope. Everything was ON POINT! The medicines were incredibly vibrant. I had such a good time there. Met so many cool and interesting people. We had a good ass time. A lot of vulnerable moments, a lot of healing, a lot of learning, incredible experiences within the medicines. It was a vibe. Still feeling the residual effects of the medicine and feeling like an improved version of myself. If you want to level up your life. I highly recommend booking a trip to Arkana Spiritual Center As soon as you can. I definitely want to go again. Read More

Amazing Experience at Arkana SV! Highly Recommend!
If you’re considering different aya retreat centers, I would HIGHLY recommend Arkana. I looked at a ton of different centers in Peru and elsewhere and felt called to Arkana and could not be more glad that I went. The facilitators, shamans, staff, and everyone there is top notch and cares deeply about the work they are doing. The location and facility are also both great. The people there are what make the difference and what make the healing experience as safe, powerful, and comfortable as it can be. I will definitely be coming back and look forward to checking out the other Arkana centers. Thanks to everyone at Arkana SV!!! Read More

Astonishing
Aya, a practice I’ve always been intrigued by, turned out to be life-changing. The Arkana staff is incredibly mindful, detail-oriented, professional, and authentic. You feel safe and cared for throughout your journey. The facilities are top-notch, with a commitment to preserving Mother Nature. I was fortunate enough to attend a week-long retreat in the sacred valley. They provide comprehensive training on using the medicine, ensuring you have the best possible experience. I also had the chance to meet like-minded individuals who I consider lifelong friends. If you’re seeking a facility that values people and Mother Nature, Arkana is the top choice. I feel comfortable recommending this retreat to all my loved ones. This week of self-discovery was more profound than years of therapy could have provided. I express my deepest gratitude to everyone who made this possible. I eagerly anticipate returning in the future. Read More

Trip of a lifetime
I attended the 7 day retreat in the Amazon, and this was hands down one of the most meaningful and invigorating experiences of my life. Spending a week at this center has helped me more than a lifetime of therapy ever could. I can’t even put into words how much gratitude I have for being able to attend, and meet all the facilitators, including the owner. Arkana’s staff, facilitators, and owner are some of the most genuine people I have ever met. They were all so loving and caring, and made me feel very comfortable the entire time I was there. They truly are in the business to help people heal. The center is relaxing, peaceful, and absolutely beautiful. Being in the jungle surrounded by such unique nature just made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend the Sapo ceremony. Especially if you are looking for deeper spiritual healing, that experience for me was life changing. If you’re searching for the best retreat out there, look no further. Arkana is by far the most authentic experience you can get in Perú. Read More
