Welcome to the program description for the November 2022 Amazon retreat.

This is a spiritual journey that land sthe group into the heart of the Peruvian Jungle of Pucallpa for a 12-day experience, aiming the expansion of consciousness, connection to living beings and focus on personal insight, concentration and meditation.

The camp is organized in a traditional Shipibo community about 8 hours of travel via several means from Pucallpa and it is run by experienced local shamans. A typical day in the camp starts with early morning tai chi, except post Ayahuasca mornings, followed by breakfast, morning activities such as swimming, short walks or group/ individual exercises, lunch, rest and afternoon activity. The group will harmonize as it progresses from ceremony to ceremony, so it is important to perform all group activities and all individual tasks as pointed out by the shamans and facilitators.

This format offers a deep healing at all levels. Each participant will discuss his/her current health condition and motivation with the facilitator and the shamans, so that each individual process can be customized according to each person’s needs.

The group is limited for best interaction and optimum personal space.

During the retrreat,

The key aid to meditation, connectioon, breathing and diet will be consissting in 5 ayahuasca ceremonies, organized in the Shipibo traditional way. The shamans have an extensive experience and have worked with previous groups gathered by the same facilitator. In addition, the group will have the chance to participate in gathering the medicinal plants and prepare the ingredients for the ayahuasca drink. No other components will be used but ayahuasca, harvested locally – an incredible accelerator and cleanser that provides the chemical framework for the second plant, chakruna, rich in DMT (dimethyltryptamine) to do its work.

The ceremonies are supervised, no one leaves the ceremony until the end and only to go to his or her own bedroom. It is importatn to understand that safety comes first and that a well managed ceremony can only result in beneficial ressults.

Preparation for the trip is quite important. As Ayahuasca is a powerful cleanser, it is ideal to get through a one-month preliminary cleansing process, consisting in the following>

• avoid any toxins.
• create a menu based on fish, eggs, vegetables and rice. This follows the shamanic diet that we will follow in the jungle retreat. The requirements are the following: no toxins such as meat, alcohol, coffee, drugs, especially psychoactive ones, no dairy, sugar, salt and pungent or hot foods. Chocolate and black tea or green tea enter this category.
• refrrain yourself from having sex. The sexual energy is capital for higher consciousness experiences therefore a strict abstinence is the best way to accumulate and preserve it. More details, in our first meeting 🙂
• prepare yourself with meditation and prayer. The experience is a deeply spiritual one.
• if you have any questions regarding the diet, please address them via the whatsapp group.
