At Wanay Community, we believe in the deep healing power of ancestral plant medicines when approached with respect, presence, and intention. Our mission is to create a safe and intimate space in the heart of the Colombian Amazon, where individuals can reconnect with themselves, nature, and the wisdom of indigenous traditions.
We offer personalized retreats with Ayahuasca, Yopo, Kambo, Bufo, and other sacred remedies, honoring the rhythm of each participant. Our vision is to support authentic healing and inner transformation through a balance of traditional ceremony, therapeutic support, and integration.
Wanay Community is located in a lush and remote part of the Putumayo jungle in southern Colombia. The center is surrounded by native trees, medicinal plants, and birdsong. Our sacred maloka is the heart of the space, where ceremonies and group gatherings take place. The land also features a beautiful garden, shaded hammocks, and a waterfall accessible via a jungle trail.

Transformation through love
It was perfect! The villa We stayed in was beautiful and had everything we need. The organisers really went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met. They held so much space for us and made me feel so loved and special. I thank them and Freddie the shaman for introducing me to ayahuasca in a safe and pleasant setting with music aiding the journey. I also got to experience the toad which completely transformed me and kambo to heal me physically. Freddie’s music unlocked things within me and helped me let go and bring me in the arms of my soul! I am forever grateful for the people I met on this retreat and everyone who helped make it possible. The integration classes gave me such valuable lessons that will stick with me forever. All the ceremonies and work shops tied in beautifully to solidify this awakening experience.
