VIP Personal Retreat

“When the fount of healing is stronger than the cause of ill health, your body continues on its own path of healing.”

Alan Francis Waugh

Are you ready for a deeply personal wellness retreat designed to support real transformation? Join master healer Alan Waugh and spiritual guide Dianna Waugh at their peaceful retreat center in the green paradise of Vilcabamba, Ecuador. Together, they bring three decades of combined experience in guiding people toward holistic well-being, inner peace, and spiritual awakening.

Unlike many Ayahuasca retreats, this experience includes a carefully selected range of complementary sessions and practices shaped around your individual life story. The intention is to help you integrate the power of Ayahuasca in a way that supports lasting shifts in your relationship with yourself — because this inner relationship is the foundation for healing your relationship with others.

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”

Carl Jung

Personalized Healing Sessions: With Alan’s extensive background as a master healer, you will receive sessions tailored to your specific needs. His experience across a range of healing modalities allows for a highly individualized approach to wellness, supporting deep healing and meaningful change. Alan has been trained in the Shipibo culture and their Ayahuasca traditions since 2005.

Spiritual Guidance and Wisdom: Dianna Waugh offers compassionate guidance and spiritual insight throughout the retreat. Through meditation, mindfulness, breathwork, and hypnotherapy, she supports you in connecting with your higher self and the healing energy of the natural world. She also provides support during Ayahuasca ceremonies.

Holistic Wellness Activities: Enjoy restorative experiences designed to refresh body, mind, and spirit. These include guided nature walks through the beautiful Andean landscape, detox therapies, time at the spa, and a massage in the pyramid healing space.

Nourishing Gourmet Cuisine: Savor organic, farm-to-table meals prepared with care and intention. Made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, the cuisine is designed to nourish you from within and support your wellness journey.

Peaceful and Rejuvenating Environment: Set in the tranquil valley of Vilcabamba, the retreat center offers a serene and scenic setting ideal for rest, reflection, and healing. Lush gardens, the calming sounds of nature, and sweeping views create a nurturing backdrop for your stay.
