8-Day Ayahuasca & San Pedro Retreat

Join an 8-day journey at Flower of Life Ayahuasca Healing Center, created for introspection, personal growth, and holistic well-being. With years of experience and a strong reputation in the region, the center is known for its integrity, respect for ancestral traditions, and attentive care for every participant.

Set in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, overlooking the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, this retreat offers a powerful setting to step away from daily life and reconnect with nature, yourself, and a deeper spiritual dimension.

Deep Transformation and Guided Support

Ayahuasca is widely recognized in Amazonian traditions for supporting transformation on emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. During the retreat, participants take part in 4 Ayahuasca ceremonies and 2 San Pedro ceremonies, within a carefully structured process designed to encourage clarity, reflection, well-being, and self-discovery.

Because these master plant experiences can be intense and deeply moving, the 8-day format allows time to absorb and integrate the insights, visions, emotions, and teachings that arise.

Experienced Shipibo-Konibo healers and maestros curanderos accompany participants throughout the stay, offering guidance, support, and care at every stage.

Preparation, Purification, and Nature Connection

The retreat includes preparation, conscious nutrition, and a detox diet to support the purification of body, mind, and spirit. Traditional plant medicines are approached with deep respect, honoring the ancestral wisdom of Amazonian peoples and their connection with water, fire, air, and earth.

Held in the Amazon rainforest near Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, the setting invites silence, contemplation, and a stronger bond with the forest, the river, and the natural world.

Community, Small Groups, and Personal Care

Founded and led by a Peruvian woman and operating since 2015, the center offers a warm, respectful, and supportive environment. With a maximum of 8 participants, the retreat remains intimate, allowing for personalized attention and a peaceful atmosphere.

Shared living, group connection, and daily conversations help create a sense of community and authentic human connection.
