🏵️ You can join up to 4 days, 3-nights Ayahuasca ceremonies.

We offers a deep immersion into inner exploration and traditional Amazonian practices with the conscious use of entheogens.

Since 2017, at Holistika Center, we have collaborated with Cofán tradition holders from Putumayo, Colombia to ensure cultural respect and authenticity.

Your experience is supported by an international team of facilitators, musicians, and therapists trained in traditional ceremony holding and emotional support. Each retreat includes thorough preparation and dietary guidance, practical information so that you arrive ready and confident.

During the ceremonies, the ritual use of Ayahuasca follows the cultural frameworks passed down within indigenous traditions. Our role is to provide a safe, structured, and supportive environment where you can navigate your inner experience accompanied at every step.

After the retreat, you can receive optional integration support and follow-up calls.

The complete framework: careful screening, thorough preparation, experienced facilitators, live music in every ceremony, therapeutic support in each integration, and follow-up once you're home. No single piece makes a retreat feel safe. It's the whole.

Meals

Menu Types

• All meals are included on both retreats, and everything we cook is vegan or vegetarian. • Simple, fresh, Mediterranean food — vegetables, fruit, rice, pulses, soups, good bread. Nothing heavy, nothing complicated. Most people are surprised by how good they feel eating this way for a few days. • Meals are arranged around the ceremonies rather than around the clock. Breakfast and lunch are the main meals of the day; on ceremony days we eat light in the evening or not at all, because the medicine is easier on an empty stomach. On the five-night retreat there's a non-ceremony evening midway through, and dinner that night is a proper shared meal — usually one of the warmest moments of the week. Herbal teas, water and fruit are available throughout the day. On Kambo mornings you'll be asked to drink water beforehand and eat afterwards. • Dietary needs: gluten-free, lactose-free and most allergies are straightforward for us — just tell us when you book so we can plan properly. • Before you arrive: for at least 48 hours before the retreat, avoid alcohol, high-fat meats and recreational drugs. Coffee, sugar and salt do not need to be eliminated — though plenty of people choose to step back from them beforehand and say it made a difference. We'll send you the full preparation guidance once your place is confirmed.

Private retreat
I was able to get a private retreat on very short notice, which I really appreciated. I was also impressed by how carefully I was prepared for the experience, it was clear that the team takes time to make sure this work is right for each person.

The actual retreat day was a bit different than I expected, but in a good way. It was deep, safe, and very well guided. I can genuinely recommend this place to anyone who feels called to this kind of experience.
