What Can You Expect from Our Ayahuasca retreat Experience?

We are a professional and experienced group with over 25 years of expertise in the healing art of Ayahuasca. Our Ayahuasca retreat experience is rooted in traditional wisdom, spiritual exploration, and a deep respect for this sacred ancestral medicine. Our goal is to support participants in exploring higher levels of consciousness, self-awareness, wisdom, and spirituality. At our Ayahuasca retreat in Colombia, we strive to create a respectful and supportive environment where each participant can engage meaningfully with this profound experience. Our core values are humility, compassion, and love.

From the moment you contact us via WhatsApp or email, we provide full support, including guidance on diet and potential interactions with any existing medical conditions or medications. Our Ayahuasca Retreat ensures participants have direct access to our Western doctor through WhatsApp, providing a safe and informed experience. Typically, these instructions are given 1-2 weeks before the Ayahuasca ceremony.

The ceremony takes place in Guarne, a beautiful forested area just 38 kilometers (approximately 45 minutes) from Medellín. Our Ayahuasca retreat experience offers the opportunity to connect with ancestral traditions and nature without having to travel deep into the jungle. On the day of the ceremony, our shuttle service can pick you up directly from your home at 6:30 a.m., providing a convenient and comfortable journey to our sacred retreat location in the Colombian Andes.

You will arrive arround 7:15 am, where you’ll be welcomed by our shaman, who will provide an introduction to the experience and its spiritual and consciousness-enhancing effects. Participants will have the chance to ask questions and clarify any doubts about what you will experience inside your self. Alternatively, we can arrange pickup from a specific location in a meeting point Medellín.

As part of our Ayahuasca retreat experience, we prepare the ceremonial space with care and respect for ancestral traditions. The first cup of Ayahuasca is served at 9:15 a.m., with a second optional cup offered at 12:30 p.m., depending on each participant’s experience and the guidance of the Taita. Throughout the ceremony, our support team and the Taita (Indigenous shaman) provide guidance and supervision, helping maintain a respectful and supportive environment. The effects of Ayahuasca typically last between 4 and 8 hours, although the duration and intensity vary depending on the individual.

Afterward, we facilitate an integration session, allowing participants to reflect and ask questions about their Ayahuasca experience. You’ll be offered a vegetables broth (optional) to replenish fluids and electrolytes. Once you feel ready, a spiritual closure will take place with a plant called guayra, used to cleanse energy and close spiritual channels.

In the evening, we gather around a bonfire for further integration. A light meal is served at 7:00 pm, after which you’re free to rest at your own pace.

On the second day, the Ayahuasca healing ceremony begins around 8:00 pm with the first cup of Ayahuasca, following a similar process to the first day. This 2-day experience is part of our Ayahuasca retreat, recommended for those dealing with deep emotional issues, significant trauma, or a desire to deepen their spiritual journey. Our approach ensures a safe Ayahuasca retreat environment that prioritizes participant well-being and supports deep healing.

After the experience, we return to Medellín around 5 or 6 pm. Please note that our Yagé is stronger than that used in many other retreats, and usually, two days of experience are enough for effective healing within our Ayahuasca healing retreat setting.

However, if you’re interested in experiencing a spiritual Ayahuasca retreat for several days, we can arrange a 2- or 3-day retreat. It’s important to note that the medicine is stronger in our retreat compared to others, which is why we limit the experience to 1, 2, or a maximum of 3 days. For us, it’s not necessary to have 5 or 7 days like in other places.

In the Ayahuasca retreat experience You will also have the optional opportunity to experience the ancestral medicine Rapé, which is entirely optional and holds spiritual properties.

Rapê (pronounced ha-peh) is a sacred medicinal snuff used in traditional Amazonian shamanic practices, particularly by indigenous tribes like the Yawanawá, Nukini, and Huni Kuin. It is made by grinding various plants, seeds, and ashes, often including sacred tobacco (mapacho), into a fine powder. The mixture is then blown into the nostrils using a specific applicator, either self-administered (kuripe) or administered by another person (tepi).

Spiritual and Medicinal Purposes
