Ayahuasca Retreats
Overview
Our Ayahuasca retreats are designed to give our guests the medicine, time, and space to progress on their own unique healing and awakening journey. Although we offer a range of activities during the retreat, our main goal is to serve the medicine in a safe and supportive environment to allow Ayahuasca the time and space to work with our guests. Our Maestros are also available during the retreat for private consultations to work with guests on specific issues.

“There was the me before and the me after attending my first Ayahuasca retreat with Maestro Deodomero and Maestra Rosenda. Prior to Ayahuasca I perceived all of my suffering in life to be circumstantial, but Ayahuasca showed me that my suffering had nothing to do with what I perceived, but how I perceived. I have since learned to change my perspective and this has changed my life.”
— Ryan Grebert, Jochipapanete Facilitator
