About this Retreat
Our guides know the whole region, shortcuts and best views to take you through. All of our guides are very spiritual people, growing up with the influences of ancient Inca and Andes cultures. They are professional certified guides and speak Spanish and English. Our local staff is in charge of the food preparation, organization and maintenance of the campsites. They are led by our professional mountain chef and the horsemen.
The Shipibo are one of the oldest and largest tribes of the Peruvian Amazon. They are dedicated to work with the sacred Inca plant medicine Ayahuasca and guide you through your ceremony.
Details of this retreat
Our 3 day ayahuasca retreat experience has been created by an Amazonian "Onaya" healer from the Shipibo tribe and an Inca "Pampamisayoq" healer from the Qero tribe. During this spiritual retreat you will experience two ayahuasca ceremonies in combination with shamanic healing techniques, meditation sessions, volunteering experiences and sacred ceremonies. The purpose of ayahuasca is to find ways to open your mind, heal from past traumas and experience a life-changing journey that helps your personal and spiritual growth. Our medical team and ayahuasca shamans will guide you through the whole process and make sure that you are in the right state of mind for your ayahuasca experience. Before and after the ayahuasca ceremonies you will consult with a psychologist and shaman to talk about your questions and visions.
The retreat center is located in the Sacred Valley, right in the middle of the high mountains and a two hour drive from Machu Picchu.

Schedule
Day 1: Arrival at retreat center & ayahuasca ceremony
Your ayahuasca retreat experience in Cusco starts at 11:00am at Plaza Nazarenas, where you will be picked up by our transfer staff. You will travel to San Salvador, the location of our retreat center in the Sacred Valley. After your arrival, you will be introduced to the ayahuasca shaman and medical staff and have some time to check out the retreat center. You will have a group meeting with the team and the other participants to talk about the ayahuasca plant and the intentions of the different ceremonies (ayahuasca ceremony, offering to Mother Earth and Coca Leaf ceremony). After your first meeting, you will have an individual consultation with the medical doctor and shamanic healer about your ayahuasca ceremony, so you feel prepared and ready to start the first ayahuasca session. In the afternoon, you will learn more about the Munay meditation. The ancient Inca principle of Munay focuses on unconditional love and acceptance. The meditation session has the purpose of preparing yourself for the ayahuasca ceremony that you will be having on this day in the evening.
Day 2: Volunteering at dog shelter & ayahuasca session
Today you will start your day with a very light breakfast and then be brought to the dog shelter of the local organization “Human Actions”. There you will do your volunteering activity, feeding the little puppies and giving them the love they need. You will learn more about the organization of the shelter and the stories of the dogs who had been abused and badly treated before they came to the shelter. After helping the staff, you will have an organic snack and return to the retreat center. There you will have a meeting with the psychologist and shamanic healer to talk about your personal experiences during your first ayahuasca ceremony. These sessions help you find clarity about your visions. Later, you will have some time to relax and start with the Munay meditation. You will learn more about Munay, Yachay and Llankay from the Inca wisdom. The meditation will be part of the preparation for the second ayahuasca ceremony that you will be having in the evening. Our medical team and Andean shamans will be there with you during the whole process.
Day 3: Mother Earth Offering & return to Cusco
On your last day you will start your day with an organic breakfast. Afterwards, you will have another individual consultation with the doctors and shamanic healers about your last Ayahuasca ceremony. Later, our shaman will perform an offering to Mother Earth. It is an important ceremony in the Andes culture to show gratitude to Pachamama (Mother Earth) for everything she has been giving to us. You can buy some local handicrafts from the shamanic healers before you will be brought back to Cusco.
