Mission
At AyaCenter, we hold space for deep, lasting healing, through plant medicine ceremonies grounded in ancestral traditions, and through the body, mind, and heart practices that help those insights take root. In small groups and with real integration support, we accompany each person in turning what they experience into how they live.
Vision
To be a trusted center for holistic and alternative healing in Central America: a place where ancestral wisdom and trauma-informed care meet, where healing continues long after the ceremony, and where a community grows around the work, rooted in Antigua and open to the world.
AyaCenter is located 15 minutes from downtown Antigua Guatemala. It's in a quiet, green and gated community, in the town of San Pedro Las Huertas. It accommodates up to 8 people including staff and maestros. This allows us to pay special attention to each case individually. The place has a ceremonial room, a fireplace, sauna, garden, shared spaces and rooms.

Incredible sanctuary
I feel lucky to have found aya center. It’s an incredible place, with great energy and amazing hosts.
Sacha, Ana and the rest of the team went above and beyond to make me feel at home and navigate me through the journey.
Great overall experience, and at a time I really needed.
