Details of this retreat
A three-night ayahuasca retreat in the luxury Zen Boutique Retreat Centre on the stunning Indian Ocean island of Zanzibar
Join us in early September for a retreat in paradise. We're hosting a three-night retreat in a luxury boutique retreat centre near Paje, Zanzibar. Set in the lush Zanzibar bush, and featuring incredible gardens, swimming pool, gym, yoga studio, fire pit, and rooftop sunset viewing platform, this is an exclusive retreat with accommodation in luxury private poolside bungalows. A secluded private garden for outdoor medicine sessions under the stars sets the stunning backdrop to the journey within.
In September we'll be making our way to the beautiful island of Zanzibar, in Tanzania. This retreat is set in a stunning 5 star Boutique Retreat Centre set back in the bush for a back to nature experience, the perfect setting to go inwards and remember who we are and what we carry inside. At the end of the retreat, we'll have the opportunity to connect with the natural world in all its wonder as we travel to Mikumi National Park, where we'll spend three nights in a lodge in the park, surrounded by giraffe, wildebeest, buffalo, lions, hippos, and much more. These days will be spent on Safari, exploring local waterfalls, and visiting a village of the Maasai - indigenous semi-nomadic people of Tanzania.
Our retreats include a combination of ancestral plant medicines and conscious integration in order to open a space for each person who attends to return to their heart and remember the divinity within. We support each individual to enter into a space of expanded consciousness, going outside of the programming that they live in on a day-to-day basis and being able to step outside of it, to let it go and dare to open to something new.
We don't preach any dogma or ideology or require that anyone believes in anything new. Instead, we encourage participants to examine their own existing beliefs, so that they can decide whether they are still true, and continue to serve a purpose in life. We open a space to make the unconscious conscious, so participants can see the ideas and structures that have been governing life - without them realising it.
We’ll be sharing ayahuasca every night of this three-night retreat, with conscious integration sessions each morning to open a space to go deeper into the previous night's experience, to move towards a point of comprehension of the things that have moved. Optional sessions of kambo and bufo will be available throughout the retreat for those who feel drawn to these medicines, and to aid the physical cleansing process. Note that an extra cost applies for these sessions.
We work in a non-traditional way, utilising elements from many different traditions but not following strict dogma or way of doing things. Rather, we create the environment to allow life to bring whatever is needed in each moment, allowing it to surprise us. The retreats are a journey into the unknown - where everyone who attends (including the team!) dare to enter into the mystery, to go beyond themselves, and to encounter something new.
