Ayahuasca Retreat
Before embarking on our private or group Ayahuasca retreat, we conduct a comprehensive interview with each participant. This process allows us to understand the individual goals and needs for the work that will be carried out. To ensure an optimal experience, we follow a protocol that includes a specific diet and physical cleansing beforehand. This preparation ensures that the Ayahuasca ceremonies and therapies during the retreat are more productive and effective.
During the initial interview, we also determine the appropriate dosage of Ayahuasca for each person, customizing it based on the type of inner work they wish to undertake. Our approach combines ceremonies with power plants such as Ayahuasca and San Pedro within the framework of the retreat. These multiple ceremonies provide the opportunity to delve into profound processes, contributing to more meaningful and lasting results.
Our team of highly trained facilitators and guides will be present every step of the way, ensuring that each individual feels supported and safe throughout the entire retreat to make it the best ayahuasca retreats in the world.

Ayahuasca Ceremonies
Ayahuasca ceremonies are ancient rituals carried out with the purpose of exploring the mind and spirit through the ingestion of the traditional beverage from the Amazon jungle, Ayahuasca. These ceremonies have been practiced for centuries by various indigenous cultures in South America and have gained popularity worldwide as a powerful tool for personal growth and spiritual healing.
Ayahuasca, also known as "the soul medicine," contains the active ingredient DMT, which induces
profound and transformative psychedelic experiences. During the ceremonies, participants are guided by shamans or experienced facilitators, who create a safe and sacred environment for the experience.
Ayahuasca ceremonies are characterized by "set" and "setting," meaning the individual's mental state and the environment in which the substance is consumed. The intention of the individual and the presence of a therapist or guide is valued to ensure a positive and meaningful experience.
Testimonies from those who have participated in these ceremonies report benefits such as a deeper
understanding of oneself, the release of emotional traumas, and a connection with the divine or
transcendent. However, it is essential to highlight that Ayahuasca ceremonies are not a cure-all and should be approached with respect and responsibility, choosing reliable and safe facilitators.
In summary, Ayahuasca ceremonies offer a window into expanding consciousness and an opportunity to explore our inner selves for healing and self-discovery. With proper care and guidance, this ancient tradition can provide a path to emotional well-being and profound spiritual connection.
