“From past suicidal attempts and mental illness to now enjoying life to its fullest, it is my duty to share what has saved my life and helped me so immensly. Art, yoga, meditation, breathwork, and plant medicine are all tools in my toolbox of wellness and collectively play a part into my overall well being.”

With these combined practices and techniques we believe our retreats offer the fastest way to accelerated learning and connecting with our true self. Our team will be honoured to help guide you on your spiritual journey every step of the way during your time with us.

Our Ayahuasca retreat in the serene and mystical Sacred Valley of Peru is considered one of the most energetically powerful places on Earth and is truly a trip of a lifetime. We find that simply being in the presence of the ancient Andean mountains, historical ruins, and crisp air offers wisdom and deep nourishment for the mind, body, and spirit.

There is a discipline and commitment that is called upon. Our chefs will be providing exceptional meals (both regular or vegan). We will also have the opportunity to sample many of the locally grown and prepared food at amazing restaurants to further connect with the culture of Peru.

COMFORT AND SURROUNDINGS

Ayahuasca retreats can be physically demanding which is why we wanted to set our retreat above the rest, and incorporate the feel of luxury to your stay. The great majority of Ayahuasca retreats in Peru are located deep in the jungle lowlands of the Amazon Basin at purpose-built Ayahuasca camps which can be uncomfortable. We choose to host our retreats at a stunning, luxurious and secluded resort in Cusco, Peru. During our ceremonies we will be staying in comfort at a beautiful resort in the Sacred Valley. The resort has spectacular views of the mountains and valleys and stunning gardens and grounds. We can offer you those little luxuries more typical of a hotel environment including, wifi, reliable hot water showers, electricity (lights and fans), room service, large comfortable beds along with various pool and lounge facilities along with added spa options.
