About this Retreat

She has also shared with and learned from the Shipibo in Peru and the Piaroa in Venezuela. She is an advocate for feminine collectives, an artist, and investigator of ancestral songs and chants.
Paulina hosts regular women’s retreats in Ecuador and Mexico where ancestral rituals and medicines are used to facilitate deep personal work and transformation. She is the Founder of an international women’s collective, Mujeres de Luna, and is also a trained Gestalt therapist, specialized in accompaning processes in a holistic and integral way.
Finally, she is a leader of the Sacred Fire of Itzachilatlan, a sun dancer, vision quester, and healer of the Chakana altar, Andean table, and Heart of the Carnation altar from the Andean elders.
During these retreats, Paulina shares with those that wish to experience the heart-opening power of San Pedro and sacred rituals to enhance greater self-awareness and healing.
The San Pedro ceremony guide is usually accompanied by 1 or 2 ceremony assistants, depending on retreat group size.
Sandra Elena Pardo is a queer Peruvian and Dutch artist that expresses herself through music and clay. Sandra is a vision quester and has been following the plant medicine path for nearly a decade, giving her voice and musical talents as offerings to the Great Spirit.
Details of this retreat
Join our monthly 2 day ayahuasca retreats in Quito, Ecuador.
This short ayahuasca retreat was created to offer a more affordable option to those that don’t have the budget or time to attend longer retreats, particularly EC nationals and residents, though also foreigners.
This retreat is an inclusive and safe space led by a female retreat guide, Paulina. Solo female travelers are encouraged to join, as well as people that identify as queer or LGBTQ+.
This is an opportunity to drink the sacred and healing medicine of ayahuasca to attain greater introspection and to deal with traumas, difficult emotions and decisions you might be facing.
The retreat consists of 1 night of ayahuasca, temazcal / sweatlodge ceremony, pre-ceremony meditation, sharing circle and songs, often combined with yoga, bodywork, or meditation, and closing sharing circle / círculo de palabra.
The 2 day ayahuasca retreat in Quito takes place on the property of the retreat guide, which is located in a rural area just outside of Quito, in la Merced. The area is forested and peaceful, with spectacular views. The ayahuasca ceremony takes place indoors, mainly due to the cooler temperatures in this area.
