Retreat Highlights

  • The Retreat Experience
  • At Casa Oraya, life itself becomes the experience.
  • We spend four days living simply: listening to the birds, sharing meals made with love, reconnecting with nature, and allowing plant medicine to gently guide us back to ourselves.
  • More than a retreat, it is a home where presence, authenticity, and human connection come first.
  • Small group experience
  • ✓ Safe and carefully held container
  • ✓ Authentic human connection
  • ✓ Nervous system reset
  • ✓ Integration support
  • ✓ Time in nature
  • ✓ Deep reconnection with yourself
  • This is not a place to become someone else. It is a place to remember who you are.
  • Practical Information
  • Languages:
  • The retreat is held in English, French, Spanish and Russian.
  • Getting here:
  • Detailed arrival information will be shared after booking. We can also help connect participants travelling at similar times and advise on the easiest routes to Casa Oraya.
  • Daily rhythm:
  • Our days gently alternate between moments of rest, time in nature, nourishing meals, sharing circles, integration practices and ceremonies, allowing enough space to slow down and truly reconnect.
  • Extra nights:
  • Whenever possible, extra nights after the retreat can be arranged upon request for those who wish to arrive earlier or integrate their experience more gradually before returning home.
  • What happens after booking?
  • We organise a preparation call.
  • We share all practical arrival information.
  • We remain available for any questions.
  • You arrive feeling supported and prepared.
  • Introduction of Casa Oraya:
  • Casa Oraya was born from a simple intention: to create a place where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves and remember what truly matters.
  • Founded by Virginie, medicine woman and creator of intimate journeys of reconnection, Casa Oraya carefully weaves together nature, ancestral wisdom and authentic human connection.
  • More than organising retreats, Virginie curates meaningful experiences from the heart, alongside beautiful people and communities she deeply trusts and with whom she has built genuine relationships over the years.
  • Every retreat is intentionally created to be safe, intimate and deeply human, allowing each person to feel welcomed, supported and at home.

About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

This 10-day journey takes us to El Encano, in the mountains of southern Colombia, where we cross Laguna de la Cocha by boat to reach the land of a local Inga family who will welcome us into their home and territory.
The retreat is intentionally intimate and immersive. Rather than following a packed schedule, our days unfold around five yagé ceremonies with Mauricio, morning meditation, rest, integration, shared meals and long periods of simply being in nature. Between ceremonies, we explore the surrounding reserve, discover medicinal plants, walk through the landscape, spend time by the lagoon and, when conditions allow, enter its waters. Creative practices such as painting with natural pigments and keeping a personal travel journal offer another way to observe and give form to what is being experienced.
An important part of this journey happens in the spaces between ceremonies. Through sharing and integration practices, we begin with the body — sensations, emotions, images, memories and movements — without rushing to define or interpret everything. Slowly, the experience can settle, reveal its own meaning and begin to find a place in everyday life.
We come to Colombia not as consumers of an experience, but as guests. The land, the family who receives us and the relationships that make this journey possible are an essential part of the retreat.
It is a time to live more simply, close to water, earth, weather and community; to step away from constant stimulation and rediscover what becomes visible when there is finally enough space to listen.
Not a journey away from life, but a journey deeper into it.

Our days flow gently, following the rhythm of nature rather than a strict schedule.

Over four days, we will share three ayahuasca ceremonies, including two daytime ceremonies, allowing the forest, the light, and the natural world to become part of the experience.

Plant baths, consciousness workshops, individual guidance, and group integration circles will support and deepen the journey.

In between, we simply live: we share nourishing vegetarian and gluten-free meals, listen to the birds, breathe, rest, contemplate, and reconnect with the beauty of being fully present.

Every element of the retreat is designed to help you slow down, return to yourself, and feel at home within your own life again.

Arrival & Opening the Space

You will arrive on Thursday afternoon and be welcomed into Casa Oraya as you would be welcomed into a home.

Fresh fruit, dried fruit, and herbal tea will be waiting for you as you settle in and begin to slow down.

We will take time to connect individually during a one-on-one arrival session before gathering together as a group.

I will introduce the intention of the retreat, the journey ahead, and the optional plant allies available to gently support the process.

In the late afternoon or evening, we will share our first ayahuasca ceremony and begin our journey together.

The Rhythm of Our Days

Our days are simple and intentional.

For those who wish, mornings may begin with a plant purge or other supportive plant medicines.

During the retreat, we will share three ayahuasca ceremonies, including two daytime ceremonies, allowing nature itself to become part of the experience.

Between ceremonies, we explore different workshops inspired by my own path in medicine.

Sometimes we work with the inner child, sometimes with flowers, sometimes through the body, movement, or self-massage practices.

We also gather for sharing circles throughout the retreat, because integration happens together, through authentic human connection.

On Sunday, we close our journey with a cacao ceremony, a final sharing circle, and a gentle transition back into everyday life.

The retreat may end, but the integration continues.

We stay connected through a group space if the group wishes, and one week later, I reconnect individually with each participant for a personal integration session.
