Ayahuasca retreats: A profound healing and transformative journey 
Our 7-day Ayahuasca and San Pedro retreat is designed for those seeking a deeper and more intense healing experience in a safe, responsible, and professional environment. This journey offers a powerful path of introspection and transformation through the use of two sacred plants: Ayahuasca and San Pedro. With more time for integration, rest, and reflection, your experience will be enriched, uniting personal healing with a profound immersion in Andean culture. You will participate in three traditional Amazonian-style Ayahuasca ceremonies and a beautiful San Pedro ceremony that will help you connect with nature and open your heart. We deeply respect your process of introspection by avoiding direct physical contact and unnecessary conversations during the ceremonies.
At Sapaninka, healing is a comprehensive process guided by the highest level of professionalism and ethics. The Ayahuasca ceremonies are held in a sacred, safe, and carefully maintained space for direct connection with the power of the medicine. The San Pedro ceremony guides you in a deep connection with nature and your profound emotions, and includes an offering to Pachamama (Despacho), a ritual of gratitude and harmony guided by an authentic Q'ero Andean priest, and a healing sound session designed to balance and harmonize your energy.
As part of the comprehensive experience of our retreat, we will also visit the fascinating archaeological site of Moray, an ancient Inka agricultural laboratory, and the impressive Maras salt mines, allowing you to connect with the rich history and natural beauty of the Sacred Valley.
Your well-being is our top priority at every moment of the retreat. At the end of each Ayahuasca ceremony, which lasts approximately three hours, our experienced guides will check in with you to ensure your full recovery. If you feel delicate or immersed in your process, the guides will remain by your side in the temple for as long as needed for you to fully stabilize, ensuring you are never left alone during this crucial phase. Additionally, our rooms are located close to yours, and our guides remain attentive throughout the night. You can request assistance at any time, knowing that you have constant support and experienced care that will allow you to focus entirely on your healing.
In our Ayahuasca retreats, we offer the optional use of the hypnagogic light device, Pandora Star Light. This sophisticated system of flickering light helps the brain experience visionary and expanded states of consciousness. It's important to note that its use is optional and takes place before the ceremony, serving as a preparation to enhance the body and mind's sensitivity to the effects of the Ayahuasca medicine.
Pandora Star Light stimulates the pineal gland and encourages the production of endogenous dimethyltryptamine (DMT), which generates variations in brainwave activity. The pineal gland, known as the "third eye," is naturally capable of detecting light even with our eyes closed and produces DMT during dreams, meditation, and moments of profound bliss. By using this device before the ceremony, we aim to sensitize the body to allow for a better assimilation of the Ayahuasca medicine, without the light session being part of the ceremony itself.
At Sapan Inka, we integrate the sacred use of sacred plants with a transpersonal approach to guide your healing process to a deeper level. Our methodology honors the traditional Amazonian use of Ayahuasca medicine and the San Pedro (Huachuma) cactus. For us, these plants are not just a means or a tool, but the very essence of a path to explore the depths of the psyche. Our method for interpreting your experiences will allow you to understand the symbolic language of your soul and connect with the archetypal and transpersonal realm.
We understand that true healing is a continuous process that extends far beyond the ceremonies. For this reason, we offer comprehensive accompaniment designed to ensure a lasting transformation. The journey begins with an online preparation session to help you set your intention and align yourself mentally and spiritually. After the retreat, a post-ceremony integration session will guide you in processing the revelations, anchoring the lessons in your daily life, and applying the wisdom gained for meaningful change.
To ensure a safe and optimal experience, we remind you to follow the dietary recommendations before the retreat. If you are ready to begin this profound healing journey and wish to participate in one of our retreats, contact us for more information.
