1. WHAT THIS RETREAT IS ABOUT

This retreat is intended for travellers seeking:

  • Spiritual and emotional healing

  • A deeper connection with nature

  • Personal clarity and inner balance

  • Authentic Amazonian wisdom

  • A safe, respectful, traditional setting

Ayahuasca is offered in accordance with Indigenous traditions, with careful guidance, protection, and clear ceremonial intention.

Kambó, when chosen, is offered prior to the Ayahuasca ceremony as a traditional cleansing practice to help prepare the body and mind.

2. THE AYAHUASCA CEREMONY

As night falls and the jungle’s natural rhythms take over, participants gather in the maloca, a ceremonial space built in harmony with the surrounding forest.

Ayahuasca is prepared by the Maestro Curandero using only the two traditional plants:

  • Banisteriopsis caapi (the vine)

  • Psychotria viridis (the leaf)

The ceremony may include periods of introspection, emotional release, insight, and reflection, accompanied by traditional icaros (ancestral songs) used for guidance and energetic protection.

Throughout the night, the support team remains present and attentive, ensuring safety, comfort, and respectful care for all participants.

3. KAMBÓ — THE WARRIOR MEDICINE

(Optional)

Kambó is the traditional secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog, applied in a supervised ceremonial context by experienced practitioners.

Traditionally, Kambó is used to:

  • Support physical cleansing

  • Strengthen resilience and vitality

  • Clear energetic and emotional stagnation

  • Increase mental focus

  • Prepare the body for ceremonial work

Many participants find that Kambó helps them enter the Ayahuasca ceremony feeling more grounded and centred.

4. SAFETY & RESPONSIBILITY

Participant well-being is treated with the highest priority.

This retreat follows clear safety protocols, including:

  • Pre-retreat dietary and medication screening

  • A controlled and respectful ceremonial environment

  • Experienced healers and local guides

  • Continuous supervision during ceremonies

The medicine is approached with integrity — never rushed, never commercialised, and never taken lightly.

5. THE ENVIRONMENT — QUIET, NATURAL, AND SUPPORTIVE

The retreat takes place in a remote and protected area of the Amazon, far from city noise, artificial light, and daily distractions.

This natural setting supports:

  • Quiet introspection

  • Emotional grounding

  • Energetic clarity

  • A deeper connection with the forest

It offers an appropriate and supportive environment for ceremonial and integration work.
