Retreat Highlights
- Unlike many other retreats, we limit our number of guests to just 5 people per retreat. This gives each person the individualized attention we truly need to recieve the best healing and long-term benefits. We also hold private retreats for more in-depth healing work.
- We are a husband and wife duo so you can experience both the feminine and masculine energies.
- We are a very safe space for women - We have many solo females stay with us, and as Katie is always present you can feel very safe here.
- The spirits truly want us to do this work, there is no doubt. We put all our heart and soul into this work with the aim to help create a better world.
- Taita Miguel will lead the Ayahuasca ceremonies and a Wilka ceremony, and Katie will lead the San Pedro daytime ceremony.
- This is a really special and rare opportunity to immerse yourself in nature, and get to know the traditional Ecuadorian culture.
- Connect with fellow sisters, Mother Earth and your own Spirit in this special retreat in a safe and loving space. You will be able to work with skilled healers, work with sacred plants and explore the natural beauty surrounding this area. We will be a very small group of just 5-6 people, so everyone can receive the attention and love they need.
- Discounts available if you come with a friend!
About this Retreat
Katie is the facilitator and organizer for Allpa Mama Retreats. She is from Chicago, USA, and is Miguel's partner. She has lived in Ecuador for five years, assisting in Ayahuasca, San Pedro and Wilka ceremonies. She does her own San Pedro ceremonies, having received the blessing from the spirits and Miguel to work with this medicine. She also gives limpias (energetic cleansings), does cleansing rituals and massage as well. She is honored to be able to work with these sacred plants, and believes they are here to help us heal, grow, remember the ancient ways of living and connecting with each other and the earth. Katie is also an ancestral herbal medicine and midwifery student of Mercedes
Miguel was born in Cuenca, Ecuador and at an early age his perception of spirits and energies were awakened. Since he was 20 years old, he began helping taitas in ceremonies, and some time later he began to perform his own ceremonies. He first learned to work with Huachuma from Taitas of the Andes. After this he was introduced to Mama Wilka by a shaman from the North of Bolivia, and was initiated into this almost-lost Inkan tradition. He learned to work with Ayahusaca from several respected Shuar Ubishines (curanderos) in the jungle of Gualaquiza.
Miguel has a unique ability of being able to feel the pains of other people, just upon meeting them. This helps him to give excellent cleansings, which can take away physical, mental and spiritual pains and illnesses.
He is a humble, kind person and loves to teach others about his country, culture and the plants he works with.
