Ayahuasca Retreat Programs

We frequently treat anxiety and consistently see incredibly positive results. The tradition’s treatment methods are highly effective for both anxiety and depression, as well as other conditions. In our ayahuasca retreats, we’ve achieved a 100% success rate in improving anxiety. However, lasting change depends on each individual’s commitment to making and maintaining lifestyle changes after the retreat.

PTSD and the negative effects of emotional trauma are greatly alleviated by the indigenous healing practices we use during our ayahuasca retreats in the Amazon. Through a series of remedies that release suppressed emotions, unlock buried memories, and rewire unhealthy neural pathways, this tradition offers a path to acceptance, self-love, and renewed optimism for the future.

Our ayahuasca retreats have been successful in helping people overcome addiction, though it can be more challenging due to the complex causes of addiction, often tied to emotional trauma and a lack of self-love. For addiction treatment to be effective, integrating the experience and committing to lasting lifestyle changes are crucial. We provide full support to help with these critical steps.

When treating ADD, OCD, and similar disorders, the goal isn’t just to eliminate the condition but to develop healthier ways of thinking and behaving, along with embracing unconditional self-love. Self-acceptance is key to any healing process, especially for these conditions. The Ayahuasca Foundation’s retreats in Peru provide valuable support in this journey.

Our ayahuasca retreats have a high success rate in treating insomnia, as it is often linked to depression, anxiety, and emotional trauma. On a chemical level, ayahuasca’s impact on serotonin production in the brain is beneficial, but true healing comes from addressing the underlying causes. This is often achieved through a combination of various treatment methods.

When treating eating disorders, the focus is on more than just addressing the symptoms. It’s about fostering a healthier relationship with oneself and developing new patterns of thought and behavior. The Ayahuasca Foundation’s retreats in Peru offer powerful support in this process, helping individuals reconnect with their true selves and find a path to lasting recovery.

Leaky gut is a digestive issue described as increased permeability of the intestines. It is most likely due to inflammation caused by toxins in the diet and stress. Our treatment is with plant remedies and a regimented diet. We have had very good success on our ayahuasca retreats helping people who suffer from leaky gut, and many other related digestive issues.

Candida, or candidiasis, is often caused by the use of antibiotics, steroids, or birth control pills, along with stress and poor diet. Regaining harmony within the microbiome is the key to treating conditions like candida. On the retreat, specific plant remedies, along with a stress free environment and a healthy diet, provide a great opportunity to achieve balance and harmony.

Treating ulcers involves more than addressing the physical symptoms. While the causes are similar to other digestive conditions, the emotional factors often run deeper. Our ayahuasca retreats have yielded promising results in treating ulcers, but lasting success depends on important lifestyle changes. We support participants in maintaining these changes long-term.

Many people in the Western world don’t consider parasites unless they’ve traveled abroad, but parasites are everywhere. They often go undetected due to inadequate testing and are misdiagnosed as digestive issues. Our ayahuasca retreats have had tremendous success treating parasites, often times when retreat participants did not know they had them.

Food allergies indicate an underlying issue; people aren’t naturally allergic to common foods. Celiac disease is worsened by the food industry’s modifications of gluten, especially in mass-produced bread, but a weakened immune system also plays a role. Though we’ve had only a few cases at our ayahuasca retreats, we have had great success with the treatment of all of them.

Crohn’s disease, like many digestive issues, is often tied to emotional trauma, stress, and poor diet. At our ayahuasca retreats, we’ve successfully treated a handful of cases, including one participant who was healed after 35 years of suffering. All the individuals, after years of chronic diarrhea and related symptoms, regained normal digestion and relief from their symptoms.

At our ayahuasca retreats we have treated numerous cases of arthritis with good success. Only in the most extreme cases were we not able to achieve significant improvements, but even in those few cases, there was obvious improvement. A number of treatments are involved, and there are some fantastic natural remedies employed in the healing process.

Chronic pain is often caused by an injury, nerve damage, arthritis, or conditions like fibromyalgia. Emotional factors like stress, anxiety, and past trauma also contribute. The treatment we provide includes specific plant remedies and addressing emotional trauma in the ayahuasca ceremonies. Complimentary practices like breathwork and mindfulness can also provide relief.

Migraines can have a variety of causes, including stress, hormonal changes, dehydration, diet, and sensory stimuli. The treatment provided during our ayahuasca retreats address hormonal imbalances and the response network. We’ve had great success treating migraines, which also includes improving sleep patterns and improving stress management and mindfulness practices.

Chronic fatigue can be a complicated condition to treat, for it is most likely a combination of various factors, including toxic environmental influences, emotional stress, trauma, depression, energy blockages, and lifestyle. The treatment during our ayahuasca retreats involves heavy cleansing and addressing deep seated traumas in a supportive and stress free environment.

The cleansing process involved in treatment coupled with the disciplined diet during ayahuasca retreats make for a successful weight loss plan. It is very common to lose weight during a program, especially excess weight. Because the digestive system is rebalanced and the emotional issues at the core of the condition are addressed, weight usually continues to drop and stay off.

While we have not had great success with treating type 1 Diabetes, we have been able to help nearly every participant treated for type 2 diabetes. Since type 2 diabetes is largely influenced by lifestyle and diet, the treatments we provide on our retreats are highly effective. It’s important to maintain the healthy habits learned during the ayahuasca retreat afterward.

Reconnect with nature on our scenic hiking trails around the retreat center. Jungle walks are encouraged throughout your stay, as immersing yourself in nature often deepens the effects of the ayahuasca ceremonies. Toward the end of the retreat, enjoy a guided trek into the reserve, where an expert guide will introduce you to medicinal plants and the wonders of the rainforest.

Immerse yourself in a wealth of knowledge and inspiration with our curated library, available to all participants during the ayahuasca retreat. Our collection features books on healing, empowerment, spiritual growth, and plant medicine. Reading can be a powerful tool for self-discovery, making it a meaningful addition to your healing journey.

Relaxation is an essential part of the healing process. Spend time swaying in a hammock, reflecting between ceremonies and treatments. For those who find it hard to slow down, a hammock might become your perfect space for introspection. Journaling, reading, or just watching the river go by, listening to the birds and the breeze, can be an important element of your healing.

Engage your creativity and tap into the healing power of artistic expression during your retreat. Our arts and crafts sessions provide a therapeutic outlet for self-discovery and reflection. These hands-on activities offer a unique way to process your experiences and express emotions. Arts and crafts provide a soothing and joyful complement to your healing journey.

Experience a slice of local culture with a sunrise fishing trip on the Nanay River. Guided by a Mishana community member, these excursions often take place toward the end of the retreat. With hundreds of fish species in the river, you might catch a canary bass or even a piranha. Whether you catch a fish or not, the experience is a memorable jungle experience.
