At Pachamama Sanctuary, we honor the Great Spirit through our sacrament, Ayahuasca. With deep reverence for nature, we strive to live in truth and awareness while extending kind, caring acceptance to all who join us.
Our community is dedicated to transforming lives by welcoming others into our sanctuary—because each of us has experienced the profound spiritual connection found in Ayahuasca and in one another.
Founded in 2019, and supported by nearly two decades of combined experience, Pachamama Sanctuary is a place to discover your inner truth. From the very first moment you connect with us, you will feel the warmth of our loving, supportive community. We understand how challenging life’s journey can be, and we want you to know that you never have to walk that path alone.

Life Changing Experience
First timer here! I have to say, I was totally skeptical before going in and nervous as could be, but from the moment I arrived, they made me feel right at home. The overall experience was absolutely breathtaking. It’s hard to put everything into words, but it’s something I’ll never forget. It’s definitely a challenge, to say the least, while you’re working through everything that comes up, but getting to the other side is well worth it. The people, the experience, and the whole environment were incredible. By the end, you honestly won’t want to leave. I’m already looking forward to coming back.

Life Transformation Excellence
I went to my first retreat September 4-6. This was the best decision that I've made in my life! I learned so much about myself. I was loved by a supportive community. I was treated with the upmost respect. I was took care of and accepted as I was. But at the end of the retreat I was a different person. I was Loving, kind and full of compassion. I learned about my ego and learned how to notice it and let it go. I seen myself in others and others seen me in them. The world needs this Sanctuary to remain open because spirits like me need a place to heal. Thank you Pachamama Sanctuary for your works!

A truly great spiritual place and an unforgettable experience
I attended the retreat hosted by Arkawa, and from the moment you arrive, the world seems to slow down.
The organizers are amazing—attentive, thoughtful, and detail-oriented, doing everything they can to make you feel comfortable throughout the weekend and with all the activities. Nobody forces or pressures you to participate in the aya ceremonies, breathwork, or kambo/sananga/rapé. Everything is approached with respect for your own choice and process.
The food is vegetarian, and the tea provided during the ceremonies was especially helpful.
Overall, the entire weekend was an incredible experience. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in self-discovery, spiritual healing, or cleansing. That said, I believe you need to come mentally prepared and genuinely committed to exploring and changing something within yourself.
The human connections you make during a retreat like this are unparalleled. And Arkawa's ceremonial music is absolutely mind-blowing—it became an integral part of the experience and helped guide me through the process.
It was a truly special and unforgettable weekend. If you're considering something like this as part of your spiritual journey, I highly recommend giving yourself the opportunity to experience it.
One piece of advice: put your phone away for the weekend. Let go of the sense of time, disconnect from the outside world, and fully immerse yourself in the experience.
I'm looking forward to Aya's calling again in the future to attending another memorable weekend.
Thank you, Pachamama crew, for making this experience so freaking unique! 🙏

I AM GRATEFUL
Pachamama Sanctuary was such a beautiful and meaningful experience. The setting in nature was peaceful, relaxing, and filled with wonderful energy. The entire team was friendly, knowledgeable, compassionate, and supportive, and I truly felt that I was in very good hands throughout the retreat. Everything was well organized, and as this was my first experience with ayahuasca, the guidance and care I received meant a great deal to me. I also connected with so many beautiful people and made new friends along the way. The experience touched me deeply, bringing a greater sense of inner awareness, peace, bliss, and clarity around my purpose. I am deeply grateful for the experience and for everyone who helped make it so special.

Best gift I have ever given myself
This was the most amazing weekend of my life and the biggest gift I’ve ever given myself. I knew it was going to be great, but I had no idea it would be this level. The staff are some of the kindest people on the planet, compassionate giving I have ever met. The people I met. There were great and we shared so much. It was literally life-changing and healing therapeutic I wish I had discovered this years ago. I cannot wait to attend another retreat with this amazing group. It takes place in an amazingly beautiful setting, and I just can’t say enough about the staff. I didn’t know there were that many kind, compassionate people on the planet.Derek and his team lead each day with love and it is so genuine it is truly a life-changing experience. I definitely did not want to leave.
