Why choose Sacha Runa? This 30-year-old community brings together rituals, ceremonies, medicines, and practices from Amazonian, Andean, and Native North American traditions. The team is fully bilingual in English and Spanish, and deeply familiar with many spiritual traditions from around the world. With an understanding of both the mystical and the practical, they are able to meet Western emotional and mental patterns with care and clarity.

Bolivia remains one of South America’s best-kept secrets: authentic, less commercial, and rich in indigenous culture. Both retreat centers are built on sacred sites, close enough to city amenities while remaining quiet and secluded for deep immersion in nature. The community welcomes trainees and volunteers from both Bolivia and abroad, and is strongly committed to serving local people as well as visitors.

Everything is guided by love, surrender, devotion, humility, and a genuine vocation to service. The shamans are thoroughly trained and prepared to support inner transformation with care and integrity.

By joining this retreat, you may leave with:

• A renewed sense of wellbeing, balance, and connection
• An understanding of plant medicines
• Meditative practices to support daily life
• A space that helps you discover your true gifts
• Tools to bring your spiritual path into modern life
• The experience of training where the medicines grow
• Lasting friendships within an ongoing sacred lifestyle
• Time in beautiful, sacred places in the Amazon and the Andes
• A community that serves local people as much as foreigners

• It offers both high Andean mountain experiences and pristine jungle with extraordinary biodiversity
