Details of this retreat

3-Day Intensive Embody True Nature retreat weaves ancestral living wisdom traditions supported by Jungian transpersonal and Buddhist psychologies to provide a foundation to both discover and develop the innermost purpose of one’s life.



OVERVIEW
Join us in a beautiful nature location near Mexico City - for a hero’s journey of self discovery into the infinite human potential. Together we will transcend the layers of our individual and collective conditioning in order to know and trust our eternally brilliant and indestructible true nature. In this process we immerse into the initiation rites and sacred plant ceremonies while establishing intercultural bridges, seeing the emergence of awakened consciousness in all beings everywhere. Our purpose is to create a space where all participants, including ourselves, can continually discover and implement a life of greatest purpose and deepest meaning.

Beyond humanity’s diverse stories and personalities there’s a profound mystery within each of us that the organism is longing to be re-initiated into – a fully conscious evolutionary journey of return to the source. A resurgence of interest in these beyond-personal states may seem a novelty and yet living wisdom traditions facilitating the rites of passage on this journey are rooted in times immemorial, long before written history. Living examples of real people embodying the evolutionary blueprint of higher consciousness have been at the conception point of all ancient spiritual lineages. A direct metaphysical experience that’s skillfully shared may awaken the evolutionary potential necessary for society to transcend the fear-based animalistic survival mode. Few traditions still maintain an uninterrupted stream of embodied living wisdom in the form of an awakened consciousness experience. These lineages of direct transmission have been carried through the sands of time as catalysts of a greater evolutionary purpose embedded in the genetic memory bank of the collective subconsciousness. Yet without a necessary degree of spiritual maturity accompanied by experiential guidance relevant directly to one’s current life circumstances, the higher organic intelligence cannot emerge consistently.



CEREMONIES
Ancestral shamanic ceremonies involving sacred entheogenic plant medicines are attracting multitudes of people from all layers of society nowadays. There is something deeply enthralling about a dimension ungoverned by the logical mind and conceptual thinking. Experiencing a greater whole rapturing in the mystical divine union of direct contact with the raw forces of nature may be an inherent intuitive longing to awaken expressed through the many alarming issues of the current society. While different people have different ideas what pursuit of happiness entails, the underlying state itself is an indescribable, yet deeply familiar blissful wholeness, nurture and safety imprinted in the cellular memory by the unconditional love of the mother nature’s womb.

This retreat begins a profound consciousness transformation and involves a serious self-realization process. The process includes physical, mental, spiritual and emotional detoxification. Participants should be willing and able to face without compromise, personal inhibitions, repressed emotions, fears, habitual patterns and other obscurations of consciousness that often accumulate in the human subconsciousness for many years because of the conditioning of modern society.

The real deal: a unique and incredibly rewarding experience
The retreat I just completed with the Paititi Institute was 16 days in the Amazon rainforest and it was an incredibly rich and rewarding experience. Between the prep materials, the planning and logistics before, during, and after, and the consciously curated retreat programming, I felt like I was set up for a deeply immersive and profoundly transformational experience. This retreat changed the course of my life and I couldn't recommend it more.

The best retreat and shaman in Peru
I’ve been in peru more than half the year and it’s very difficult to find authentic, trustworthy shamans in Peru who know what they’re doing, makes you feel safe, teaches you and helps you integrate. Roman is all these things. This retreat gave me everything I signed up for and more. You get so much for the price of this retreat also. Roman and the support team give you everything you need going in and so much love and support coming out. I can’t say enough words in praise of this. I was recommended to this retreat by a friend who decided to move to Peru because this experience was so life changing. My experience is one I’ll always remember and the lessons engrained in my heart ❤️

A Great Teacher
Roman is an authority on the global indigenous lineages that he has studied from Tibet to the Peruvian Amazon having walked this path of healing and spiritual exploration for over 20 years. A true Ayahuscaro, Roman's methods involve all aspects of the process beyond simply working with the plant medicine. There is no one who I would rather sit with and cannot recommend him enough.

The Rest of My Life is Forever Changed


My 16 days at Paititi brought community, fortitude, clarity and admission. Under the tutelage of Roman Hanis, my mind was stretched and deconstructed, and I left feeling in control of its modifications and patterns. His wisdom and knowledge comes from decades of experience, and I doubt I will ever encounter someone who serves as a bridge between Tibetan and Andean spiritual traditions as Roman is. Thank you for all the stories !!!

The curriculum is splendid and perfectly crafted and makes this retreat even more unique: philosophy, therapy, qigong, breathwork, cacao, San Pedro, ayahuasca, dream work and more.

I left this retreat charged with hope and love thanks to Roman’s work. Paititi helped me refind myself after a very difficult time in my life and as I post this review months later, I can attest to how sustainable the learnings I’ve gained at Paititi have been.

My greatest thanks to David and the kitchen staff for serving us nourishing and delicious food. Thank you to Roman for ensuring that the origin of each ingredient is sustainable and ethical!
