Peter began his spiritual journey as a ๐ญ๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ซ when he joined the Hari Krishna movement. He embarked on a ๐ฐ๐๐ฅ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐ซ๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ that spanned a significant part of the world and lasted for ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐ฒ๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ.
This journey led him to India, where he ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ ๐จ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฌ ๐ ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ง๐ค. For the subsequent ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ Peter stayed in India learning the ancient lore of ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ .
After more than a decade of studying Eastern wisdom, Peter ventured into the Amazon jungle to explore the healing songs and plants unique to the region.
In the Amazon, Peter apprenticed under the guidance of the traditional ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ณ๐จ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐จ, ๐๐จ๐ง ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐๐จ, and his son, ๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐จ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐๐จ. Eventually, people started arriving for his own Ayahuasca ceremonies and Master Plant Diets.
With ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ working with the ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐, Peter has become a trusted and knowledgeable guide, dedicated to supporting the spiritual journeys of those seeking his guidance.
In his practice, ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ง๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ intertwine with the ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฌ, ๐ฆ๐๐๐ข๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ฌ, and other powerful elements, guiding the ceremonial experience in a profound and impactful way.
Our main facilitator, Anna, apart from taking time for dieting Master Plants, is also undergoing training in cognitive behavioral ๐ฉ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐๐ก๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ฒ, a widely recognized and evidence-based approach to mental health treatment. This, together with Inner Child Work and ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ skills, allow her to provide additional support and guidance for those seeking to integrate their Ayahuasca experience into their daily lives.
Anna's goal is to create a transformative and healing experience for all participants, ensuring that they feel supported and comfortable throughout their journey. She is dedicated to facilitating a safe and inclusive space where individuals can grow and transform in profound ways.

We are new here, but we've been a reputable center operating for quite a while.
We offer affordable prices, possible discounts and ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฑ๐ข๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ฌ of stay.
The size of the group matters both during the Ayahuasca ceremony and at every step of the process. At our place you will get the care you need and deserve, as well as enough space not to be side- tracked by big group dynamics and other peopleโs processes. It is so, because unlike huge centers we offer stay with no more than 3 other participants at the time.
What makes us stand out is that our guests report feeling ๐ข๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ during our ceremonies and Dietas in comparison with other places they had been to.
At Mahฤvana Foundation will have the opportunity to participate in Kambo and Ayahuasca ceremonies and receive personalized healing treatments with MASTER PLANT DIETS tailored to your individual needs.
The choice which Master Plant to diet depends mostly on intention of the person undergoing the process and their experience working with plant medicines. The purpose of doing the diet might be of physical, psychological or spiritual nature, however plants usually work on all these levels at the same time. During the diet one can expect to have deep and meaningful dreams induced by lack of external stimulation, closeness of the nature and ingestion of the master plant.
โฃ
We work with a variety of plants that help with different ailments, including e.g. depression, anxiety, trauma, feeling stuck in life, digestion problems, alcohol dependence, โdark night of the soulโ an many more.
โฃ
Depending on duration of the diet and particular character of the master plant chosen, dieter will participate in Ayahuasca ceremonies every 2 or 3 days.
Schedule
A master plant diet is a profound and transformative process that involves going inward and exploring the depths of your being. It is a journey of deep meditation and contemplation, with the goal of connecting with the spiritual realm and gaining a deeper understanding of oneself.
The process typically involves following a strict diet that involves abstaining from certain foods, such as sugar, salt, and oil, in order to purify the body and mind. During this time, participants are encouraged to meditate, practice yoga, journal, draw and engage in other spiritual practices that support their journey of self-discovery.
During the diet Ayahuasca ceremonies are held on average every 2- 3 days. You are welcome to daily consultation/ integration/ preparation for Ayahuasca session with our experienced guides.
After the diet, we also provide support and integration to help participants fully integrate their experiences and continue their journey of self-discovery.
You need to fly to Lima and from there take a Peruvian flight to the city of Iquitos, where we will pick you up.

Itโs difficult for me to express in words what I experienced and went through during those ten days in the jungle. I wasn't even aware of what awaited me because if I were, with that awareness, I probably wouldn't have agreed to come.
Thanks to Peter and Ana who guided me and supported me throughout my journey into myself and self-discovery, I freed myself from the fear of darkness. Thank you Momo and Bully for protecting me, thank you Pacha Mama for this wonderful journey, a journey towards myself! I've learned to love again, forgive, and be grateful!
Thank you Peter for selflessly guiding me and ultimately setting me free!

Ah Peter
For Peter, words are not enough. The understanding I see in his eyes, the empathy I feel when I'm in distress, the beauty and tenderness of his verses and his voice as he sings us icaros, the security I feel knowing he watches over us โ all of this only partially captures how great this man is and how much wisdom he holds within. Peter, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Ana the Boss ;)
When I told Anna, "Thank you for everything you do," she was surprised, wondering why I was thanking her, claiming she hadn't done anything. I had to remind her then that all the little things she does make a huge difference in the bigger picture. Anna, thank you because of you I had peace knowing my girlfriend was okay. Thank you for giving me the feeling that if I needed to talk, you were there for me. I apologize if I was awkward by saying I didn't see what I could solve with you that I wasn't already solving with ayahuasca, and I want you to know that regardless of my response, the feeling that you were there for me meant a lot to me. Anna, just like Peter, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You both will stay in my memory for a lifetime.

1 day in jungle = Life longer 1 year
After arriving in center I was impressed how emerged we are in jungle. All houses has no walls, only mosquito nests, so feeling of open space and feeling of jungle around us is astonishing. The entire center is completely isolated from civilization, and there's no other way but to fully connect with the jungle. Besides merging with the jungle, we all experience facing ourselves. La Dieta is not an easy process at all, but as I wrote in the title, I literally believe that 1 day spent there extends my life by 1 year. The hosts were available to us in every aspect, and all I can say are words of gratitude and admiration. The food is awful, but that's not the fault of the center and the hosts but the definition of "La Dieta," which requires food without salt and sugar. Personally, it opened my eyes to how much salt actually means in my daily diet. Apart from losing 5kg in 10 days, I quit smoking tobacco, stopped consuming sweets, and everyone who sees me tells me that I am very calm and relaxed. I definitely plan to repeat "La Dieta" after some time because it can only bring me good. I would also recommend to everyone who is hesitant to experience this because it's really worth a lot of benefits for both the psyche and the body of a person. Peter, Ana, Mihaela, and Lena, thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience worth remembering for a lifetime.
