Retreat Highlights
- Your Journey to Transformation Awaits
- Imagine waking up in the heart of the majestic Andes, surrounded by breathtaking mountain vistas in every direction. The crisp, clean air fills your lungs as the morning sun rises, casting its golden light over the serene landscape. This is where your journey begins—a place where ancient traditions meet modern healing, where the whispers of the Andean winds guide you toward profound transformation.
- Over the course of 10 days, you will step into a sacred space designed for deep healing and self-discovery. You’ll embark on six powerful ceremonies, each offering a unique gift: two Ayahuasca ceremonies to help you uncover the truths within, two San Pedro ceremonies to empower you to act on those revelations, one Temazcal (sweat lodge) ceremony to purify and renew, and one heart-opening Cacao ceremony to fill your spirit with joy and gratitude.
- Between ceremonies, there’s time to rest, reflect, and connect. You’ll join intimate workshops, participate in sharing circles, and explore the untouched beauty of the Ecuadorian countryside. Imagine walking through lush gardens, pausing to meditate by a quiet stream, or gazing at the stars—clearer and brighter here than you’ve ever seen before.
- Your home during this journey is as warm and nurturing as the experience itself. Stay in traditional, comfortable housing equipped with 24/7 hot showers and Wi-Fi. Begin each day with nourishing meals crafted to suit your dietary needs—whether vegan, vegetarian, or non-vegetarian. Even the ayahuasca diet becomes a culinary delight here, with flavors that surprise and satisfy. Snacks and tea are always available, so you can sip a warm cup while journaling in one of the many peaceful corners of the property.
- The medicines you’ll meet are pure, powerful, and prepared with the utmost respect for ancestral traditions. The Ayahuasca is made only from vine and leaf, and the San Pedro only from cactus—no additives, no compromises. With the guidance of skilled shamans, you’ll explore these sacred medicines in a way that’s both safe and deeply personal. Here, you are not rushed; your journey unfolds at your pace, with doses tailored to your needs.
- Throughout your time here, you are surrounded by a loving community. The staff and volunteers create a space of compassion and care, always ready to support you, whether you need a listening ear or a gentle hand to guide you through challenging moments. By the end of the retreat, you won’t just have participated in ceremonies—you’ll have gained a spiritual family, bonded by shared experiences and a collective journey toward awakening.
- Safety is woven into every aspect of your stay. While the retreat is tucked away in nature, it’s reassuring to know that a modern hospital is only 35 minutes away, though we’ve never needed to use it. This balance of remoteness and accessibility ensures you can fully surrender to the experience, knowing you are in capable hands.
- This is more than just a retreat; it’s an invitation to meet the master within you. To embrace a new perspective of yourself, others, and the world. To walk away with tools for lasting healing and a deeper connection to life.
- Are you ready to step into the magic of the Andes, to be part of a story that bridges ancient wisdom and modern transformation? This is your chance to rewrite your journey—one filled with light, love, and limitless potential.
