Sacred Medicines
Sapo (from the Bufo Alvarius toad in the Sonoran desert) contains the 5Meo DMT molecule which is also known as the God or Spirit molecule. This short and profound ceremony offers an intense, concentrated, and deeply mystical experience comparable to Hindu experiences of Moksha and Samadhi or Buddhist experiences of Nirvana.
Psilocybe Mushrooms: Also known as niños santos (Holy Children) in Mexico, Psilocybe Mushrooms are powerful entheogens sought after for known for their ability to induce altered states of consciousness and their profound healing properties. They are very effective at treating diseases like depression, social anxiety, PTSD, addiction. They also heal traces of trauma stemming from physical, mental and sexual abuse. We will be serving this sacred medicine in its original Mazatec ritual, guided by shamans from the lineage of Abuela Julieta, a member of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers.

Highly recommend
Highly recommend Arkana Amazon – As a solo female traveler, everything felt safe from the accommodations, the facilitators and staff, and even the individuals called to the facility during the week I was there. The shamans were genuine and held a strong container for all the energies of the ceremony nights. And while it will differ for each person, I found the ceremonies to be intense, difficult at points, but completely life-changing. (Even a month out, I can recognize inner changes that are going to be so helpful on my path forward.) Like all the other reviews mention, the food was fantastic, the staff from the local village incredibly friendly, and the facilitators positive and helpful.

Life expanding experience
My week with Arkana Amazon nourished both my soul and body in unexpected and profound ways. I left not only with a good experience, but with a level of clarity and conscious awareness that has stayed with me long after the retreat. I am truly grateful for the shamans, the plant medicine, and Arkana for making this available to those who recover the call. 🙏

Beautiful Experience
Arkana far exceed all of my expectations. This was the trip of a lifetime for me. I did a 3 week retreat at The Sacred Valley location. The food, facilities, staff, etc. are beyond comparison. It totally changed my life and I couldn’t be more happy with my investment with Arkana. Look no place else. Arkana is the absolute best. The staff, facilitators, maestros, etc. are some of the warmest people you’ll ever meet.

Best retreat experience of my life thus far
I spent 2 weeks at the Arkana Center in the Amazon Jungle in Nov/Dec 2024. The center felt like a 5-star resort- it even had a pool and (jungle) gym. Rooms are cleaned every day, and the entire center is spotless, and is looked after with lots of love and care. I loved being surrounded by the jungle sounds during the day & night. All housekeeping, maintenance & kitchen staff were incredibly friendly. I felt privileged to witness, work with- and be blessed by the Shamans. The Shamans were personally approachable, and in my experience as authentic as it gets when it comes to honoring the Shipibo culture. The stand-out experience for me at this center were the facilitators (6 amazing humans), who hosted/facilitated my retreat experience. They went beyond what was needed for me to feel safe, cared for, and to create the environment and experiences for me to heal- and get the most helpful and useful experience from my time at the center. During my stay, I took part in 8 Ayahuasca ceremonies, 4 Sapo (Bufo) ceremonies, and a breathwork session with Manuel (I refer to him now as ‘The French Shaman’). It felt like every ceremony was strengthening (and continuing to build on top of) the previous one, and after 2 weeks I left the center with a healed heart, and feeling the happiest, most loving and peaceful I have ever felt as an adult. I feel an infinite sense of gratitude to everyone that has helped me along the way to make this possible.
