5 Day Ayahuasca Retreat with 2-month Training Programme

Our 5-day retreat is part of a structured training programme to ensure all participants are properly supported before, during, and after the retreat, with practical tools to integrate their experiences.

Participants will join four preparatory sessions online before arrival. These sessions focus on mental, emotional, and physical preparation, grounding practices, intention setting, and understanding the ceremonial process.

Post-Retreat Training (Online)

Four follow-up sessions will be offered after the retreat to support ongoing integration. These sessions help participants embed their experiences, develop self-awareness, and maintain the gains made during the retreat.

The combination of pre-retreat training, ceremony days, integration work, and post-retreat support creates a comprehensive framework that bridges the ceremonial experiences with modern life, providing lasting transformation and practical skills for wellbeing.
