This retreat is designed for guests seeking a deeper exploration of shamanic work through sacred Ayahuasca medicine and traditional Andean ceremonies, while spending more time in beautiful natural surroundings for self-reflection and personal growth. It offers a meaningful space to address chronic emotional pain and psychological challenges that can build up through modern life, supporting a renewed return to daily life with a more positive outlook.
Over the course of the retreat, you will be guided through a series of ceremonies created to support healing for the spirit, mind, and body. These include the ceremony for unification of energies with coca leaf, coca leaf reading, Kuti cleansing ceremony, Pachamama offering ceremony, and three Ayahuasca sessions. The experience is also complemented by steam baths with medicinal plants, a relaxing massage, and yoga classes, all intended to help calm the body and deepen the overall healing process.
During your stay at The Healing Tree, you will be supported in stepping away from technology, stress, noise, and other negative stimulation. Shamans and center facilitators will be present throughout the process to help ensure a safe and supportive journey of reconnection with Mother Earth.
