At Pachamama Sanctuary we commune with the Great Spirit though our sacrament, Ayahuasca. We seek to live harmoniously in truth and awareness with a deep reverence for nature. We welcome all people with kind, caring acceptance. Our community is focused largely on transforming lives by welcoming others into our sanctuary — because we have all experienced the profound spiritual communion that can be found in Ayahuasca and in one another.
Founded in 2019, and with nearly two decades of combined experience, Pachamama Sanctuary is a place to find your inner truth, and our loving, inviting vibe can be felt from the first moment you contact us. We know how difficult it can be to make your way through the challenges of life, and we want you to know that you don’t have to walk that path alone.
We adhere to a clean, vegan menu for the retreat and we will send you guidelines on how to adjust your diet in advance of the weekend to prepare your body for the ceremony.
Discover our tranquil retreat in Maine, just 40 minutes from the stunning city of Portland. The exact address will be shared upon registration.

From there, we recommend renting a car or using Uber/taxi to reach our sanctuary. If you have any travel inquiries, feel free to contact us directly. We look forward to welcoming you!

Retreat with Leandro - Rachel L
I had wanted to attend this retreat to connect and re-set my life. My experience far exceeded my expectations, I have realized my work has just begun but I feel empowered by all the insights I received at Pashamama.
The staff are absolutely incredible, they attended to us all like we were family, and by the end of it they had become much more.
I feel so blessed to have found a place that is here in the USA that provides grace for people who want to look outside the box, for me this is life changing and I shall be recommending Pashamama to the most beloved people in my life. Thank you.

Exactly What My Soul Needed
Five stars with deep gratitude.
This sanctuary held me in a way I didn’t know I needed. From the moment I arrived, I felt safe, respected, and free to just be. The facilitators are deeply present, intuitive, and real—there's no ego here, only care and sacred responsibility.
Over the course of the weekend, I experienced what I can only describe as a return to my truest self. The ceremonies were held with such reverence, and the medicine met me exactly where I was. What unfolded for me was not punishment or pain—but deep love, infinite peace, and emotional rebirth.
Between the land, the music, the people, and the gentle strength of the guides, I found something that will stay with me for life. If you’re ready to step forward with honesty and openness, this is the place.
I’ll be returning again—and again.

Life changing experience
Panchamana was a eye opening soul cleansing experience for me. The team there is very good at what they do. It is a safe place. The experience i received will last with me forever. It has only given me positive outlook on my inner self and my life.

A True Spiritual Experience
Pachamama Sanctuary is a God send. I say this as someone who is nervous by nature and does deep dives into Reddit before doing anything. I felt my ego and nervousness take over me the first day. The second day with the help of the ceremony but most importantly THE PEOPLE who volunteer at PC, I had a true spiritual experience. If you are considering on going or feel so defeated in life “like I did” that you don’t care anymore, I’m praying you get to “experience your process”. I had more humility and gratitude than I’ve ever had in life.
