Ayahuasca & Wachuma · 12 days · 11 nights
Twelve days, eleven nights, six ceremonies with five days of rest, Inner Child workshop, family constellation and breathwork.

Within the 12 days Ayahuasca & Wachuma Transformational retreat we take the greatest care to listen and nurture you through your healing process ensuring that you are well supported. The Ayahuasca & Wachuma ceremonies are humbly and capably assisted by the calming presence of a Maestro and a spiritual guide. They are here to support your internal experience, encouraging you inward, helping you to release and cleanse if you need to, and to make you feel as comfortable as possible throughout the experience.
This retreat brings together the essence of Willkamayu Spirit through the Eagle and the Condor. The Eagle represents the clarity of the mind and the understanding that comes through therapeutic approaches, while the Condor represents the wisdom of the heart and the intuitive connection fostered through ancestral plant medicine. By weaving these two paths together, we create space for a transformation that connects inner understanding with emotional healing and integration.
Preparation and integration are of high value to us, so we will welcome you with an online Intake call before you come to your retreat, to connect, to get to know each other and to prepare and to answer any questions you have.
Once you arrive at your retreat you will have a preparation conversation with the maestro and spiritual guide, to feel your energy and to prepare yourself for your first ceremony in the evening! You will have a lot of time for yourself and resting around the ceremonies. If you feel like it you can go for beautiful walks in the nature around the retreat house. We are giving the space for you to go profound in retreat with yourself and Ayahuasca & Wachuma. We honor noble silence during your time with us to support your internal process.
Ayahuasca ceremonies begin around 7 pm and go through until midnight to the early hours if necessary, a room and bed are provided in the later stages of your experience. The effects of Ayahuasca remain into the early morning so we do our best to make you comfortable and settle down to relax for the night, staying present with our intention so that Ayahuasca can work with us in our dreams.
Every morning we enjoy a healthy breakfast and share our experiences with the Maestro (Peruvian shaman). On your resting days you have time to rest and to restore and you will receive nurturing meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The last ceremony will be the beautiful Cactus Wachuma. We will share that ceremony during the day, to connect profoundly with Nature. We end the retreat by a special action of gratitude to Ayahuasca & Wachuma. the Mountain spirits, Mother Earth and Pachamama on your last day.
During this retreat you will receive an Inner Child workshop of 3 sessions, which supports you profoundly during your process this week, it helps us to connect on a deeper level with ourselves, our ancestors and the master plants. It’s a very empowering workshop which helps us to connect more deeply to where we come from and what shaped us, and you will receive profound integration tools.
There are plenty of opportunities to have one to one chats and ask questions, you will be in a loving nurturing environment and we encourage sharing as it really helps to process the experience.
Through complementary therapeutic approaches, such as family constellations, you will have the opportunity to explore your ancestral connections and understand family patterns, planting seeds for further reflection during your nighttime ceremonies. Through Breathwork, you will connect with your body, release tension, and support nervous system regulation, helping you open physically and mentally for the ceremonies. All therapies really support each other and they build on each other during the week.
Together, these practices create a holistic approach that brings the body, mind, and spirit into connection, supporting a more integrated journey of transformation.
