Ayahuasca Retreats

Traditional Ayahuasca retreats invite you to begin the process with a corporeal cleanse (clean eating and fasting) before joining shamanic healing ceremonies where you will drink and journey with the plant medicine of Ayahuasca.

With shamanic drumming, guidance and support, you will venture on a psychedelic trip to the depths of your mind, opening yourself to whatever powerful healing that needs to take place. You may experience voices, hallucinations or even near-death experiences but there is also the potential for intense clarity, trauma healing, spiritual development and deep self-acceptance.

Most Ayahuasca retreats are 5-10 days in duration allowing you to have plenty of time to prepare for the ceremonies, experience the power of the plant medicine and integrate your discoveries with sharing circles and grounding practices towards the end of your stay. You may also have the opportunity to commune with the plant medicine San Pedro, another heart-opening healer

Traditional Ayahuasca retreats

For the most authentic Ayahuasca experience you’ll want to head to a retreat in the Amazon, the native lands of the Ayahuasca root. These retreats take place in Brazil, Peru and Bolivia and are led by local shamans who have had a relationship with Mother Ayahuasca for many years. Traditional Ayahuasca retreats involve cleansing, drumming and shamanic journeying and are sure to lead you on a path of spiritual depth and enlightenment.

Group Ayahuasca retreats

If you don’t have the opportunity to venture to South America for a traditional Ayahuasca retreat, you may instead like to join a group Ayahuasca retreat closer to home, with sacred spaces having been created in the US, UK, France and the Netherlands to name a few. These retreats take the main principles of a traditional Ayahuasca experience and blend it with a Western retreat space to enable even more people to encounter the healing hands of Mother Ayahuasca. Group Ayahuasca retreats tend to hold space for around 5-10 people at a time, ensuring each guest is held and cared for as they journey deep within.

Private Ayahuasca retreats

Psychedelic journeys can be quite a vulnerable experience and as such if you’re an introvert or feel you have some deep personal healing to undergo, you may prefer to opt for a private Ayahuasca retreat. While on the pricier end of things, these personalised retreats allow you to fully experience the power of the plant medicine, Ayahuasca, without the group dynamic of some of our other retreats. This may allow you to more deeply immerse yourself in the experience without worrying about interacting with others on their own Ayahuasca trips, perhaps leading to a more intense healing journey.

As Ayahuasca is a medicinal plant native to South America, the most authentic and obvious location for an Ayahuasca retreat are the Latin American destinations of Brazil, Peru and Bolivia. This allows you to support the communities that gave been using Ayahuasca socially and ceremonially for decades and commune with Mother Ayahuasca in her native lands.

However, there are also other locations around the globe that now provide a shamanic healing Ayahuasca experience closer to home, so you can find retreats in the US, the UK and Portugal to name a few.

Are you searching for answers to some of life’s great questions? Do you wish you had deeper and more meaningful connections but don’t know where to start when it comes to sharing your soul and creating these valuable relationships? Perhaps you’ve simply heard about Ayahuasca experiences from friends and are just curious as to what it could bring up for you?

Whatever your reasoning, and regardless as to whether you have experienced psychedelics or plant medicine before, you’re sure to venture on a journey to new depths that will offer all sorts of enlightenment!

Ayahuasca is not for the faint of heart mind you, as you can experience some pretty intense visions and sensations, so it’s important to do your research beforehand and ensure you feel fully prepared for the journey you are about to undertake.
