About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

✨ REBIRTH BEYOND PAIN, DEPRESSION AND ADDICTION ✨

Our Personal Treatments with Master Plants seek to address and heal afflictions such as deep states of Depression, Trauma, Compulsion & Pain.

These are longer processes of typically lasting 1-3 months (or more), that aim to create a permanent and lasting change through directly addressing and releasing the root causes of afflictions and suffering.

The aim is a total reinvention of yourself - a rebirth into a new life beyond the pain. 

We are an intimate master plant healing center that has been operating for 14 years, providing a highly individualised level of care and guidance in your process, with a high level of expertise in our work. Maestro Sanango, who personally oversees and guides all treatments, has 30 years of experience in healing with Master Plants. 

At Sinchi Runa, it is our mission to provide a safe and sacred space in which you can experience genuine healing and awakening, and rediscover a life of fullness, purpose and joy.

✨  WHO WE CAN HELP  ✨

To us, all our afflictions, such as addiction, depression, the aftereffects of trauma, are symptoms of underlying conflicts that many modern treatments and pharmaceutical drugs do not address (and often only numb the symptom along with our vitality and joy for life, without offering long-term healing). Each of these symptoms and pains is also the body, mind and soul asking of us to address and understand the underlying conflict. 

With the help of Master Plants in a Personal Treatment, we seek to move beyond the symptoms of the affliction and heal the true cause, and thereby also rediscover a life of fullness beyond the compulsion, pain or trauma. This is highly individualised and intimately guided process that aims to reconnect you to your deepest essence and opening of the heart, bringing about deep personal transformation and healing, and a life beyond the pain.

We have extensive experience helping people with a variety of afflictions, from mild to severe:

▻ TRAUMA & POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS
▻ SEVERE STATES OF DEPRESSION, ANXIETY & FEAR, AND DIAGNOSES OF SCHIZOPHRENIA, PSYCHOSIS
▻ DISCONNECTION & DISSOCIATION
▻ COMPULSIVE & ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOUR (including substance abuse)
▻ CHRONIC PAIN
▻ AUTOIMMUNE ISSUES
▻ DETOXIFICATION FROM ALL TYPES OF DRUGS (LEGAL AND ILEGAL)

We aim to provide a real, viable alternative to healing these difficult states, by addressing these conflicts from the deepest space of the soul, so that a true and lasting transformation can take place.

If you have doubts or questions about your condition and whether the plants can help, then please reach out. In many cases the plants can provide relief. 

❤️ SUCCESS STORIES & HEALING TESTIMONIALS ❤️

We have successfully helped many people overcome severe states of affliction, depression, trauma and addiction and to discover lives of deep connection, meaning and purpose. We invite to read & watch our healing testimonials from our past participants, and to learn more about our Personal Treatments:

✨  SANANGO - PERUVIAN MAESTRO CURANDERO ✨

The Personal Treatment is led by Maestro Sanango, a Peruvian spiritual master and “vegetalista” with over thirty years of experience in the Amazonian shamanic tradition. Through thousands of ceremonies and many years of seclusion in the Amazon jungle, he has formed a deep relationship with the spirit of Mother Ayahuasca and a variety of Plant Teachers or “Plantas Maestras”.

Sanango has many success stories of helping individuals who struggled with difficult states of addiction, depression, trauma, and chronic pains to turn their lives around and discover joy and purpose beyond the pain.

Through his work with the plants, he seeks to serve those who come to him to heal from their afflictions, to find joy and purpose in an understanding of their true selves and the unconditional love of the divine.

✨ THE TRADITIONAL AMAZONIAN HEALING PROCESS ✨

The content, length and format of a Personal Treatment is always completely tailored to each individual – no two cases are the same. This process recovers the traditional work of the Amazonian doctor (curandero), in the 1:1 accompaniment of the person’s pains and suffering.

Through a Personal Treatment we work on multiple levels of the being with a variety of holistic tools and the use of master plants, such as detoxifying, emetic and purgative plants (‘Purgas’) and processes, Shamanic Master Plant Diets (‘Dietas’), Master Plant healing ceremonies, as well as  oriental consciousness techniques to awaken the heart. Each ceremony, master plant dieta (including the plant and length), purge or process that the participant does is prescribed according to their personal need by Maestro Sanango, the curandero overseeing the process.

Each step of the process is closely guided through personal consultations and guidance to unfold the delicate process of healing to help open as well as integrate the understanding into the heart. 

The length of stay usually starts from 1 month, but varies on a case-by-case basis, determined together through prior online consultation and preparation. In cases of substance abuse, a minimum stay of three months is considered necessary, and often more is advisable. 

During the healing process, the participant goes into a process of isolation from the world (speaking at the center, with facilitators, guides, and at times other participants is allowed). The process of isolation is a crucial aspect of the work, where we can begin to deeply review our habits, limiting beliefs and conditioning that ties us to our pains, and so begin understanding and releasing them. For processes longer than 3 months, some communication with the outside world can be established. 

✨ SIGN-UP PROCESS ✨

Each process is handled with individual attention, and we create a thorough preparation plan for you before arrival at our center, tailored completely to your situation.

The Sign-up Process has the following steps:

1. Register your interest through the form here, or on our website.

2. Individual Personal Assessment: health screening, motivation and assessment of fit for the Personal Treatment.

3. Online Consultation with Maestro Sanango, to diagnose your unique case and the personal approach to your treatment. This consultation has a deposit of €100, which is later discounted from the price of the process.

4. Preparatory guidelines to begin working immediately from home after the consultation until the arrival at our center, including dietary, detoxifying and supplementary regimens.

If you are taking any contraindicated medications, we will assist you with a plan and guidance for safely reducing and stopping the medication. 

The Personal Treatment is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself the ancient wisdom of Amazonian Shamanism and the loving guidance of the plant world; a place to rediscover your true self and inner strength, and be reborn aligned in love and purpose.

We will be honoured to share this magical process of healing and remembering with you and hope to serve you on your journey.

Schedule

During your stay you will participate in daily spiritual practice (meditation, yoga), participate in activities around the center such as gardening or tending to the farm animals.

Your process with plants is defined personally for you, and will typically include working with purgative/emetic plants, plant medicine ceremonies, private consultations, integration & sharing circles with Maestro Sanango, and 1-1 private consultations with Maestro Sanango.
There is no 'time' on retreats, to invite you to enter a space of silence and being with nature and introspection, as this is a fundamental part of the healing process.

I loved the retreat and its concept. The importance given to preparation, the way of eating, silence and introspection set the Sinchi Runa retreat apart from all the others I've been to. I recommend this unique experience to everyone.

Beautiful retreat
Two years ago I did my first dieta (with Ajo Sacha) and in May of last year I joined the Vedic immersion retreat at Sinchi Runa, dieting with Bobinsana. For the Vedic retreat Daru Krishna was also present to give information about each person's astrological chart and he gave great insights about Ayurveda.

I am deeply grateful for Sanango's wisdom, sometimes harsh when needed :), and the rest of the team for always being there if any doubts or questions arise or if you just need a hug or a cry.

The food has always been great! Nourishing and you can feel the care that has been put in to make it.

The location in Lepe is away from any busy areas and is perfect for a silent retreat communicating with nature.

Grateful for the insights gained and all the teachings learned!

With love,
Sheela

An unbelievable journey within a safe and loving space 🪷
Sinchi Runa is a tranquil, safe, loving environment. A space that just allowed me to just be during my retreats.
Greeted with warmest, welcoming smiles from the team, which instantly helped me feel cared for.
We were all introduced and given an overview of how everything runs, along with the importance of silence, and what silence actually is.
We were assured that the silence doesn't extend to the team if and when needed; I (the group) could talk to Maestro Sanango, Ananda, Madhava or Arjuna.
I found that questions were not only welcomed but encouraged, Maestro Sanango wanted everyone to have as much information as possible on the plants, the process, philosophies, how we're cared for, why the guidelines are there. Everything seems to have a place and a purpose. All this just added to my feeling of safety and care.

The meditations were really very helpful, learning to focus on the breath, everything just seems to be in order to help the participants truly get the most out of their experience and journey.
The ceremonies guided expertly and beautifully by Maestro Sanango, he sings and chants as well as playing solely instrumental music through a speaker, which was all beautiful and purposeful.

The team are professional, experienced, caring, loving and so welcoming.

The site is clean, hygienic and well looked after.
The food is season appropriate and so full of love (i've had retreats both in colder snd warmer months), and as I saw it happily caters to all.

I can't recommend Sinchi Runa more highly from my experience.

So much gratitude and love to all. Thank you so much 🤍

Transformational
'Do something today that your future self will thank you for', sums up this life-affirming experience.

This is the something.

Intense, profound, transformational. If you are reading this, your soul has already chosen, and you must listen.

You will be changed in ways you cannot forsee or describe but your spirit will be eternally joyful for.

Thank you Sinchi Runa x

Thank you.
I stayed at Sinchi Runa a year ago for a 10 day retreat, and more recently left after a 3 month deep immersion stay. I don’t know how to sum up all that was learned, understood, let go of, and more, in writing, for fear it being too long and putting you all to sleep!

I would say that since I grew out of being a baby, and could eat and drink by my self, my time at Sinchi Runa was the most vulnerable I’ve been. I’m very thankful to them that it was their care I was vulnerable. I could give so many examples of where I’m thankful that Sanango was ‘taking’ or ‘leading’ (I’m not exactly sure the word for it) the ceremony, but one that springs to mind was in an Ayahuasca ceremony, I was panicking! I asked for help, and Ananda and Sanango came to my aid and helped me process what I was going through. I recall many challenging Kambo ceremonies (In fact I think they all were) but two in particular, in hindsight, I feel blessed that it was Arjuna by my side. Arjuna was a great teacher to me, being in his presence, watching how he interacts with others, and hearing him speak in group sharing taught me a lot, in particular about my pride.

Initially, in my consultations with Sanango and Ananda, I was apprehensive to be open because I was cautious around Ananda, and this is nothing against Ananda, it was a reaction I am learning to step out of. I started to trust Ananda, I tried to leave no stone unturned in these consultations, because it became apparent that it was a privilege to have these two know me, all of me. That they were offering help if I was reaching out for it. I don’t want to portray Sanango as a mythical figure, a guru, or something along those lines, partly because I know he doesn’t want that, but it also doesn’t feel right to me. He is the wisest person I’ve come across. Every time I had the chance to speak to him I felt excited. Through my eyes He is brilliant. It seems to me He knows a lot about Love. I can’t fully express what it meant for me to have Sanango as my teacher, or ‘curandaro’. He is upholding or maintaining great teachings, or spirits, forces, at Sinchi Runa.

Ananda (tough act to follow) was a great teacher to me and I think he had a great understanding of my ‘process’ and what I was going through. I felt loved by Ananda and he too took great care in protecting my process. We also had a few good laughs. I would say the moments of social interaction with everyone at SinchiRuna were lovely.

The food was top notch, Fiona was cooking most of the time whilst I was there, and she is an amazing cook. I noticed how much care was taken in the cooking of the food, and the prep. My portion sizes were always to my desire, and I think I overate most of the time. Fiona was also significant in my journey, she’s great, and so comforting and caring, she made so much effort to protect and care for my ‘Process’. I’m not sure if this is her intention but she really made me feel at home.

I felt the crux of my work was in my ‘Diets’ or ‘Dietas’. Up to now these Dietas have been the most challenging chapters of my life, and without a doubt the most rewarding, if the reward is ‘spiritual growth’ or knowledge of the unconscious, in my case. In the Dietas I developed an understanding around deep questions such as: what is pride, what is humility, what is compassion, what is gratitude, in what conditions do these arise. An understanding of who I am, and why I behave the way I behave. What am I doing in the human experience, and so on, and I really could go on. The diets were the most significant periods of learning in my life, and it was hard earned, it was also a learning of how to come out of suffering, my understanding arose from my coming out of my suffering. And so these diets were a rollercoaster of suffering, enlightenment, more boredom than I knew I could handle. It was very draining, very emotional and very rewarding.

I do not know of any other facility with the depth of wisdom, knowledge, and care as Sinchi Runa, I don’t think places such as Sinchi Runa are easy to come by, and for me it feels it’s a privilege and a great stroke of luck to have come by Sinchi Runa.
