Ayahuasca Ceremony Retreat with Andean Rituals (3 Days)

Ayahuasca is a traditional Amazonian brew celebrated for its profound healing properties. Crafted from the Psychotria viridis plant and the Banisteriopsis caapi vine, it has been a centerpiece in indigenous rituals for ages. In guided ceremonies, Ayahuasca is believed to open pathways to self-discovery, offering insights and emotional healing. Its growing popularity in organized retreats reflects a quest for personal growth and therapeutic benefits.

Being part of an Ayahuasca ceremony is like taking a special journey within yourself. It’s a time for strong visions and deep thinking, and everyone’s experience is different—some find clarity, others face personal challenges, and many feel a stronger connection to their spirituality.

Your well-being is really important to us, and we have a dedicated medical team to make sure you’re taken care of. The experience gets even more special with the traditional music, icaros, played by Amazonian shamans.

We also include Andean ceremonies like reading coca leaves and expressing gratitude to create a caring and special space for your spiritual journey. Our aim is to help you grow personally and find healing in a supportive and sacred environment.

It’s really important to be in Cusco at least three days before the retreat begins. This gives your body time to adjust to the high altitude. If you arrive on the day of the retreat, unfortunately, you won’t be able to join the Ayahuasca ceremony. Safety is our top priority, and arriving on the same day as the retreat could increase the risk of altitude sickness, especially when combined with Ayahuasca.

Your well-being is a priority, so it’s a good idea to ensure you’re in good health. We suggest talking to your doctor if you have any concerns about your medical history or conditions. Also, please let us know about any health conditions or medications before you book.

The food guidelines are in place to ensure your body and mind are prepared for the Ayahuasca experience, making it safe and meaningful for you. Two weeks before the retreat, avoid pork, alcohol, cannabis, drugs, and spicy foods. Also, refrain from taking any prescribed medicines or drugs during this time, as Ayahuasca is potent and can interact differently with other substances.

One week before the retreat, it’s recommended to steer clear of red meat, junk food, sweets, soda, dairy, pickled foods, and caffeine. Just before the retreat, eat well without extreme dieting, staying in good shape and feeling good. In the last three days, consider reducing salt, pepper, and oil intake.

Opt for organic food with a touch of salt and sugar, and if you desire meat, choose chicken or fish.

The first Ayahuasca ceremony is scheduled for the evening, so it’s advised to enjoy a light breakfast adhering to the diet restrictions before we pick you up. Stay hydrated throughout the day with water and tea, but it’s advisable to avoid consuming anything else. This preparation ensures you’re well-prepared for a positive and enriching experience!

To enrich your spiritual preparation, we encourage you to set a clear intention. The Ayahuasca ceremony can be intense, and having a specific purpose acts as a guiding force, keeping you connected to your goals. Take time to reflect on why you are drawn to Ayahuasca. What do you hope to learn or understand? Consider your current life situation and challenges. Crafting intentions based on these reflections can add personal depth to your experience.

Nurturing your spirit and mind involves engaging in practices that deepen your connection with your inner self. Participate in mindful activities that promote awareness and presence before the retreat begins.
