Set in the heart of El Purguero, this immersive 8 day / 7 night retreat offers a deeply traditional ayahuasca experience guided by Don Ron Wheelock. Over the course of three ceremonies, participants are invited into a carefully prepared healing journey rooted in ancestral plant medicine and supported by a respectful group container.
The first ceremony features Ayahuasquero Don Ron’s medicine, prepared with ayahuasca and Huambisa (charlipanga).
