EMBRACE THE DIVINE FEMININE - $2950
Women's Transformative Ayahuasca Retreats
Step into a deeply supportive women’s retreat created for healing, empowerment, and inner renewal. Held in the peaceful setting of the Riosbo Ayahuasca Research Center, this experience brings together the sacred practice of ayahuasca and plant medicine in a space designed to honor women’s spiritual and emotional needs. Five ayahuasca ceremonies are guided by a Shipibo maestra alongside a team of experienced female facilitators.
Along with the ceremonies, guests receive individualized plant medicine treatments intended to cleanse, rebalance, and restore body, mind, and spirit. The program also includes heart-centered workshops and activities such as sacred plant remedy preparation and art therapy, creating space for deep harmony, supportive connection, and holistic wellness.
Ayahuasca Ceremonies led by a Shipibo Curandera
Women-led ayahuasca ceremonies invite participants into an expanded state of awareness, where insights may arise around the root causes of personal challenges. Within the care of indigenous female healers, women are supported in exploring emotional depth, spiritual connection, and a renewed sense of balance.
Holistic Plant Remedies and Treatments
Throughout the retreat, participants receive a range of natural remedies and daily medicinal plant treatments designed to detoxify and cleanse on multiple levels. These practices support the physical systems while also positively influencing emotional and mental well-being. The retreat extends well beyond the ceremonies, with plant-based care aimed at supporting healing and wholeness.
Complimentary Healing Practices and Therapies
Rooted in the Shipibo tradition, this women’s retreat centers on ayahuasca ceremonies and plant medicine treatments tailored specifically for women. The program also weaves in yoga and meditation to nourish the body and spirit, plus cacao and breathwork ceremonies, art therapy, and music therapy, all offered with women’s unique energy and needs in mind.
Located in the serenity of the Amazon rainforest
The retreat center is located on the banks of the Nanay River, a tributary of the Amazon River, within the Mishana community in the Allpahuayo-Mishana National Reserve. Surrounded by rainforest, this setting is closely connected to the energy and wisdom of the plants, animals, and people of the region. Participants may hike in the jungle and swim in the river while engaging in an ancestral tradition that supports reconnection with their inner strength and beauty.

These huts and the other buildings like the dining room, vapor bath hut, and ceremony maloca, come together to form a peaceful little village for the students, surrounded by the energies of the plants. The student huts provide the basics in accommodations, a bed, a hammock, a desk, and a closet. Each hut also has a bathroom with running water. The simplicity of the rooms resembles an authentic indigenous hut, with some added improvements in comfort.
