We invite you to join us for a profound and life-changing experience at Pachamama Sanctuary’s Sacred Ayahuasca Retreat, nestled in the serene beauty of Maine, just outside Portland. This immersive 3-day, 2-night retreat is designed to facilitate deep healing, personal growth, and spiritual awakening under the careful guidance of our experienced Medicine Carrier, Leandro.

Our retreat offers a safe, nurturing space for you to dive into your inner world and access the wisdom that ayahuasca can unlock. Whether you are seeking emotional healing, spiritual connection, or clarity on life’s path, Pachamama Sanctuary provides the ideal environment for deep transformation.
June marks the beginning of summer at Pachamama Sanctuary, and with it comes something truly special: our Saturday outdoor ceremonies.
There’s nothing quite like sitting under the open sky, surrounded by the natural beauty of Maine, connecting with the medicine and the sacred ceremony in the fresh summer air. These outdoor experiences are unique to the summer months and offer a deeper, more grounded connection to Pachamama and to yourself.

What to Expect from Your Retreat Experience
Ceremonies Guided by Leandro
The heart of the retreat is two ayahuasca ceremonies, where you will be guided through a sacred, ceremonial process by Leandro, our dedicated and compassionate Medicine Carrier. With years of experience working with the medicine, Juan ensures that each participant feels held, safe, and fully supported during the ceremonies. These transformative experiences are designed to help you release emotional blockages, heal past traumas, and connect with higher consciousness.
All-Inclusive Retreat Package
To allow you to focus entirely on your inner journey, we provide everything you need during your stay, including:

Two Ayahuasca Ceremonies: One ceremony each evening, allowing for deep reflection, healing, and insight.
Accommodations: Comfortable, serene lodging for two nights, offering you a peaceful place to rest and integrate your experiences between ceremonies.
Nourishing Meals: All meals are provided throughout the retreat, thoughtfully prepared to support your body as you prepare for and recover from each ceremony. Our meals are aligned with traditional ayahuasca dieta guidelines to enhance your experience.
Healing Activities: During the day, you’ll participate in activities designed to complement your ayahuasca journey, such as meditation, breathwork, and group sharing sessions. These activities foster a deeper connection to your inner self and help you prepare for the ceremonies.
Please note that the additional sleeping options are not part of our standard accommodations. We have ample general accommodations available, even if some options appear fully booked.

Unlimited Post-Retreat Integration Support
The real journey begins after the ceremonies, as you begin to integrate the insights and lessons gained from your ayahuasca experience into your everyday life. To support this crucial process, Pachamama Sanctuary offers unlimited online integration sessions at no additional cost. This means that whenever you feel called—whether it’s days, weeks, or months after your retreat—you can join our virtual integration sessions to continue your healing and growth journey.

Integration is an essential part of the healing process, helping you make sense of your experiences and align them with your personal path. Our community of past participants and facilitators are here to support you whenever you need guidance, clarity, or connection.
A Safe and Sacred Space for Your Healing
At Pachamama Sanctuary, your safety, comfort, and spiritual well-being are our top priorities. Our retreat center provides a calm, secure environment where you can fully surrender to the healing power of ayahuasca, knowing that you are in capable and compassionate hands.

From your initial arrival to the closing of the retreat, you’ll feel supported by our team and the loving energy of the Sanctuary. We maintain a high standard of care, including pre-retreat medical screening, to ensure that the experience is safe for each participant.
A Welcoming Community of Seekers
Our retreats are intimate, small-group experiences, creating a close-knit community where you’ll feel comfortable opening up and sharing your journey with others. Many participants form lasting bonds during their time with us, finding connection and support from fellow seekers who are also on their healing path.

Whether you are a first-time participant or have experience with ayahuasca, Pachamama Sanctuary welcomes individuals from all walks of life. We believe that everyone deserves a space to heal, and our community is built on love, respect, and acceptance. Read More

Life changing experience
I went to the retreat because I'd been feeling called to Ayahuasca since 2017 but hadn't made it a priority. When Derek came across my TikTok feed and I realized I didn't have to travel to the jungle for my experience, in fact they were only two hours away, I immediately made plans to go. The staff was wonderful, Derek, Arkawa and Leandro were the most kind, open and safe spiritually guiding men I've ever met. I felt protected, led and supported in my experience. Arkawa's ceremonies were filled with incredible music, indescribable connection to the medicine and the universe and such rich culture. Leandro was a glowing beam of light energy, love and connection. Derek's breathwork session and integration readings were enlightenment I didn't even know I needed. The courage and vulnerability of all of the participants to share in the space was something I've never seen before and a testament to how safe we all felt in the sacred space. Hearing others share their traumas and self awareness of their limitations was incredibly inspiring. So often conversations are superficial and meaningless in our world. The experience of being in a room full of people open to sharing, open to growth, open to universal love and expansion without any judgement is something that moved me to focus my intentions in the future with seeking out these like minded souls around me in my every day life. They are out there, I had given up looking, but now I have an entire group of new friends to start with. Absolutely amazing experience, 10/10. Read More

Transformative
From the moment I walked into Pachamama I felt at ease. The people who are drawn here are kind and open and the volunteers and staff are so present and supportive. I felt truly held and safe. Even through a challenging ceremony, they stuck by and helped me get through it. Every step of the way they teach you about the medicine and the practices. I feel I learned so much. The integration sessions following the experience are so powerful and I feel that I have found a beautiful community. I will be back. I am so thankful to have found them. Read More

What an experience
I had a eventful weekend. The medicine took me in deep dark places, and also beautiful places. The music was so powerful. I don't think they could recreate those same moments, and feelings if they tried. The staff was very helpful and caring. The breath work was incredibly good. The purging was amazing.
The energy was fantastic and Derek did a great job making everyone feel safe and cared for.
Thank you Read More

Life Changing Experience
I went to Pachamama Sanctuary for a weekend retreat and all I can say is wow. To Derek and all of his incredible staff, thank you for creating such an amazing and safe space for healing. Throughout 2 ceremonies, I felt nothing but the love and support that everyone in that space was pouring into each and every individual that attended. Our shaman, Leandro, was incredible, and the music sung by Katrina Lilly made the experience that much more beautiful. The healing and clarity that I have gained from this experience is something that I could never put a price tag on. I would recommend Pachamama Sanctuary to anyone seeking the medicine in the United States. I will surely be back to the Sanctuary when aya calls again. Read More

What an experience
Leandro was fantastic. He was so powerful with his music, he energized everyone and with katrina at his side the music was so intense and incredible. It guided me up and down and in and out. It sent me through the barrier and back. Speaking with Leandro 1 on 1 he helped me get over my fears of where the medicine took me. I metaphorically died and I was scared. He encouraged me to participate the next ceremony and it was the most amazing thing. He left me with one thing...
Feeling the moment is the present being one with right now ,NOT THINKING, thinking is the past and future, be present with the right now and feel it.. I will not forget this
Thank you Read More
