Details of this retreat

A small-group journey weaving plant medicine, Andean cosmology, and sacred pilgrimage.

This retreat is an immersive journey through sacred land in Peru, combining ceremony, conscious travel, and time in nature. It is designed for those who feel called to deepen their relationship with themselves, the land, and the unseen — while moving slowly, intentionally, and in community.

The journey unfolds through several interconnected phases:

Time to arrive, acclimatize, ground into the land and the group, and prepare for ceremony.

🌿 Ceremony & Cultural Immersion
Temazcal, Ayahuasca and Huachuma ceremonies, cacao ceremony, group practices, music, teachings on Andean cosmovision, and an introduction to the history and worldview of the Andean peoples.

🌿 Pilgrimage, Trek & Machu Picchu
A guided trek through the Sacred Valley and surrounding landscapes, visiting ancestral sites including Ollantaytambo, and culminating in the Machu Picchu pilgrimage.

🌿 Integration & Closing
Time to land, integrate the experience, and close the journey consciously before returning home.

Thank you for making this retreat the most transforming, beautiful and loving journey!
Dear Amoraleza family <3

Thank you for making this retreat (9 May 2025) the time of my life. This has been the most transformative, beautiful, and loving journey! The insights, the release of trauma and blocked energy, the community, and the abundance of love are all things you truly helped create space for.

I learned so much about myself, what was holding me back, and how I can give my gift to the world. Your spiritual leadership and leading by example are truly inspiring, and your guidance made me feel more welcome than ever. Your team is a collection of the most caring souls, and it was a pleasure to offer my helping hand to this purpose.
My session with your medium, Ayaruna, gave me great insights into myself and became the starting point of my spiritual breakthrough during this retreat.

Because of smaller traumas in my childhood, I walked for many years with pain and stiffness in my body. Through the ceremonies, I found the root of this pain, lived through the memories, and forgave myself. This pain, connected to the traumas, is now gone, and I feel free as a bird — both physically and spiritually! <3

If someone reading this feels the call to go on their own journey, I can say with my hand on my heart that these have been the most healing days of my life. The music, the loving people (whom I’m still in contact with), the teachings and wise words, the tears, the laughter — it all came full circle and added up to a higher unity for me.

I am so thankful for your energy and wish you all the best in your future. I hope to return for another journey when the time is right.

Best regards,
Lasse Larsen, much love from Denmark

Amazing
I recently had the most incredible three-day Ayahuasca retreat with Veroneeka, and I can’t recommend it enough. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was welcomed into a family. Veroneeka’s warmth, knowledge, and genuine care created an atmosphere that was both peaceful and deeply healing.

Every detail of the retreat was thoughtfully planned, from the personalized guidance through each ceremony to the nourishing meals that left me feeling rejuvenated and balanced. Veroneeka took the time to understand my needs, making the entire experience feel uniquely tailored to me.

If you’re looking for an Ayahuasca retreat that goes beyond the surface and truly nurtures your soul, Veroneeka is the one to trust. It felt less like a retreat and more like being cared for by family. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
