5 Day Ayahuasca & Huachuma (San Pedro) Retreat

This 5-day retreat brings together two ayahuasca ceremonies, one huachuma ceremony, breathwork, guided meditation, and more in a peaceful natural setting. It begins on Thursday afternoon, and all participants are asked to arrive at 3 PM.

You will be welcomed on our houseboat before the ceremony starts. Over a cup of tea, we begin with a short introduction round, followed by time for questions and, if needed, the chance to change clothes. The ceremony lasts around six hours. As it comes to a close, fruit salad is served, followed later by a delicious hot meal prepared by our private cook.

The retreat takes place in a unique location surrounded by nature. Before your arrival, we will share the easiest way to get here, and if needed, we can pick you up from Amsterdam Central Station.

Guest Huachuma and Ayahuasca Guide

Experience the power of your breath

In a breathing circle, connected breathing helps create space for stuck emotions and limiting beliefs to soften and release. Through the physical cleansing power of breath, deeper layers can unwind, allowing you to reconnect with your true essence. As your natural breathing pattern returns, some of the inner weight is exhaled, energy flows more freely, and both body and mind can settle into peace and deep relaxation.

About Ayahuasca and Huachuma/San Pedro

Ayahuasca is often experienced as a strong feminine mother energy, while San Pedro carries the masculine presence of a gentle grandfather. Though they differ in their effects and healing approach, they complement one another beautifully during a multi-day retreat.

Ayahuasca can offer deep insights into yourself, your challenges, and the changes you may wish to make. San Pedro (Huachuma) opens the heart to love and peace, helping you integrate the shifts revealed through ayahuasca.

Huachuma is gentler, more loving, and deeply transformative when paired with ayahuasca. If you want to hold the bliss of your ayahuasca experience for longer and bring it into daily life, San Pedro is a powerful complement. It is also used for the healing of mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional ailments, helping you return to peace, tranquility, and a sense of unity with creation.

Attending an Ayahuasca Ceremony

Led by an experienced guide, each ayahuasca ceremony unfolds within a ceremonial framework. The journey lasts about five to six hours and can take you through a profound inner expedition. Returning to ordinary consciousness takes time, yet many people report greater clarity, a stronger connection with themselves and nature, and a renewed sense of purpose afterward.

The Huachuma or San Pedro cactus

Originating from South America, the Huachuma or San Pedro cactus is regarded as one of the great plant teachers in shamanic traditions. It is used to restore psychological, physical, emotional, and spiritual balance.

With the right intention, in a respectful setting, Huachuma can awaken insight, support healing, and help you see what may be standing in your way. It invites a deeper connection with yourself, your body, and your divine nature for several hours, while offering a strong physical grounding and a renewed sense of presence in the here and now.
