Ten Day Women's Ayahuasca Retreat - $3450

HARMONIZE YOUR HEALTH

Our 10 day ayahuasca retreat provides a special opportunity to receive tremendous benefit in a short amount of time.  Retreat participants spend 10 days at the Riosbo Ayahuasca Research Center where they will attend 5 ayahuasca ceremonies led by a Shipibo maestro and five assistant healers. To enhance the healing effect of the ayahuasca ceremonies, participants also receive numerous treatments with other plant medicines to cleanse and balance all of their systems.  These plant medicines include personalized treatments specific to the needs of each retreat participant as well as integrative techniques that deepen the healing effect by addressing one’s perceptions and reactions to experiences.  By combining ancestral traditions of plant medicine, meditation, and yoga with new discoveries consciousness enhancement this retreat offers the optimal opportunity to achieve harmony in your body, mind and spirit.

Ayahuasca ceremonies are powerful awareness expanding experiences that amplify participants’ senses.  The effect of ayahuasca increases sensory perception beyond the normal biological limitations.  Participants can see beyond the visible spectrum, hear beyond the audible spectrum, and feel beyond the spectrums of intuition. This experience of heightened awareness empowers ceremony participants to play an active role in your own healing process. By increasing the messaging we receive from our sense organs, including our gut, brain, and heart, we can better discover for ourselves the roots of our afflictions and the best way forward to regain harmony and balance in our lives. With expanded awareness, we can also connect more directly with the spiritual dimension, which exists in frequencies of energy that are normally beyond the spectrums of our perceptive abilities.  The Shipibo curandero works within these spiritual realms to collaborate with plant spirits to assist in the healing process.

Each day during the retreat, participants receive medicinal plant treatments to detoxify, cleanse, and restore their natural health. Before each treatment, the facilitators describe its purpose and effect, and assist the curandero.  They also lead complimentary activities like yoga, meditation, massage, and counseling. This retreat is much more than just attending ayahuasca ceremonies. All of the additional plant medicine treatments work together with the ceremonies to produce the highest possible outcome for health on every level. The complimentary practices not only deepen the healing experienced during the retreat, but also help to form healthy habits to continue after the retreat. Counseling sessions for preparation and integration are also included in the cost of the retreat.

Consciousness Enhancement

> Guided Meditation: one of the most effective methods for mental discipline and focus, meditation is a practice that demonstrates the true power of the consciousness and its influence on our lives. With guidance in particular thought paths and perspective, inner environments can be upgraded to nourish the healing process.

> Yoga: a well known practice for increasing flexibility and focus, calming the mind, and boosting the immune system, yoga has spread throughout the world due to its obvious and immediate benefits.  Taught by a certified Iyengar yoga instructor, daily yoga is a perfect compliment to the healing plant tradition of ayahuasca.

> Life Coaching: creating intentional change in life helps with knowing who you are and discovering the fullest potential for yourself. Counseling helps to discover new perspectives about yourself, and design your own best ways of living. Facilitators assist with enhancing understanding of personal choices and life transitions.

This ayahuasca retreat has been developed for over a decade. Participants follow a healing process involving daily treatments and therapies, accompanied by integrative consciousness enhancement processes and counseling.  After ten days in our jungle lodge, five ayahuasca ceremonies, and a progression of natural remedies and plant treatments, participants return to Iquitos feeling refreshed and ready to move forward with a system running smoothly. Once participants return to Iquitos, they will have time to decompress and process their experiences in the jungle, and to enjoy the beauty and culture of the Amazon Rainforest. Our staff will assist with travel plans, shopping trips, advice, and anything else we can provide to make the experience more beneficial.  We continue to stay in contact with all of our retreat participants via email and social media to provide further support and guidance after the retreat.
