Pachamama Sanctuary

I was there on November 14, 2025. I had a very good experience. The staff was very kind and friendly. I also thank Mr. Derek for his excellent management and coordination. The combination of all these factors made all the participants feel very safe and happy. I strongly recommend that anyone in America who wants to have this experience visit this center.

This experience may not be for everyone, but if you feel called to this work, you have absolutely come to the right place. My time at Pachamama Sanctuary this weekend was nothing short of transformative. The entire staff is incredibly compassionate and attentive. From the moment you arrive, they are 100% focused on your healing process, creating an environment that feels completely safe and supportive. I have been to one other retreat center, and what truly sets this experience apart is the holistic approach. This isn't just about the retreat. It's about the integration, both during your stay and the continuous support offered after you leave. To me, this shows their genuine commitment to your entire journey. A truly top-notch experience focused on genuine healing. I cannot recommend it enough.

This was my second visit to Pachamama in four months. My experience was powerful, intense, and enlightening! I will not say it was easy. I will say that I am more than grateful for even the most challenging aspects of my journey. All of the staff were absolutely wonderful! Each and every one kind, patient, and truly caring. My time with Grandmother Ayahausca has changed me for the better! If you feel as if you are being called, do not hesitate! Pachamama Sanctuary is a safe and loving place to embark on your journey.

What a beautiful experience! The staff was amazing from check in to check out. The music was amazing and really enhanced the entire experience. I was really able to relax the entire weekend and work on myself. I learned a ton from a great breath work session, the ceremonies, and great conversations by the fire. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I don’t even know if words can hold the depth of what I experienced at Pashamana Sanctuary, but I will try — because what happened to me there changed my life forever.

This weekend’s Ayahuasca retreat felt like moving through multiple lifetimes in a single breath… like meeting infinite versions of myself, all collapsing into one truth — who I really am. Everything I believed about myself before this weekend feels like an old illusion. What awakened within me at Pashamana is the beginning of an entirely new chapter, a true rebirth.

From the moment I arrived, the energy of the land, the environment, the sacredness of the place held me like home. The love, the protection, the presence, the support — it is unlike anything I have ever felt. Every person there, every soul, from the team to the participants, created a field of pure safety and connection that allowed the medicine to work in the deepest ways.

The shamans… I have no words big enough to honor them. Their power, their medicine, their intuition, their prayers — they awakened a missing piece inside me. Their music, their icaros, their presence opened doors within my soul I didn’t even know existed. I felt guided, held, protected, and seen in a way that changed me on a cellular level.

Even the smallest details — the setting, the pictures, the energy of the space, the ceremony, the music, the meditations, the care — every single thing was intentional. Every detail supported my transformation. Every moment felt sacred.

On Sunday morning, when we all left, you could see it clearly: every person was changed. There was a light in our eyes, a truth in our hearts, a connection to life, to earth, to purpose. We all left with a deeper understanding of why we are here.

Pashamana Sanctuary is not just a place.
It is a portal.
A teacher.
A healer.
A home.

I am so deeply grateful for the experience, for the shamans, for the team, for the medicine, and for the love that surrounded us. I walked in as one version of myself, and I walked out reborn.

Thank you, Pashamana, for helping me remember who I am.
