During the ceremonies, it is the role of the Guide to make sure that a sacred field can be created. To hold space by staying centered, acting as energetic anchors throughout the ceremony and Medicine Songs so called "Ikaros" are sung by our Medicine Man during the ceremony in order to direct Ayahuasca’s healing powers.
Small groups of 4-12 people allows for dedicated individual care, Our Mission is Healing in the safest way possible and Connecting deeply with each one of our participants makes this Healing a super profound One.
We only intake a maximum of 12 people per retreat, which allows us to offer personalized care to every participant. During the ceremony a concentration of energies is created, on different frequencies and generating different experiences. For the shaman and facilitators to be able to work most effectively and to enhance each individual journey, we limit the number of participants. This also allows for close bonding between the participants.
→Through integration circles after each ceremony
Integration is the most important element in working with plant medicine. As one of the first integration steps, you will take part in sharing circles, which will deepen your understanding as you reflect on the group’s experiences. However integration is not just about new understandings, it is crucial to also apply them. Although you are advised not to act on big life decisions within the first few weeks, you should make specific plans so that new ways of being take root in your life and become part of you.

After period of time, Icaros and Mantras are sung to remove blockages and help you stay centered. On top of that, traditional instruments are played to strengthen the healing vibrations that support the opening of your energy channels.
