5 days ayahuasca and san pedro retreat

Step into five days of deep healing and transformation in the Peruvian Amazon, where sacred plant medicine, nature, and traditional wisdom come together in a supportive setting. Held at Flower of Life Ayahuasca Healing Center in Peru, this retreat combines Ayahuasca and San Pedro for participants seeking a profound first-time immersive experience rooted in spirituality, personal growth, and the healing power of sacred plants.

Established in 2015 and owned by a Peruvian woman, the center has built a strong reputation in the region. It operates under local regulations and is guided by experienced Shipibo shamans and facilitators who are committed to creating a safe, respectful, and supportive environment throughout your journey.

Throughout the retreat, you will work with Ayahuasca and San Pedro in ceremonial and traditional contexts, always under the care of knowledgeable shamans who honor the spirit of the plants. The program is designed to support holistic well-being through ceremonies, group conversations, and individual integration sessions, offering space to release emotional blockages, reflect on past experiences, and gain meaningful insight into your life path.

Set in Nauta, three hours from Iquitos, within the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, the retreat unfolds in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. Surrounded by lush jungle, rivers, and peaceful natural scenery, you will have the opportunity to rest, reconnect, and find clarity in a setting that naturally supports reflection and healing.

Community is also an important part of the experience. You will share this path with like-minded participants, creating space for open exchange, mutual support, and connections that may continue beyond the retreat itself.
