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.

Peyote: Also known as Hikuri in Mexico, Peyote is a very powerful entheogens sought after for known for their ability to induce altered states of consciousness and their profound healing properties. It is very effective at treating diseases like depression, social anxiety, PTSD, addiction. It also heals traces of trauma stemming from physical, mental and sexual abuse.   We will be serving this sacred medicine in its original Wirrarika ritual, guided by Marakame Juan, a Huichol elder from the Highlands of Jalisco.

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.

Worth the trip to the Amazon!

Don’t be afraid! It’s time to heal.
I can’t remember exactly how I came upon Arkana. I think I was ready to change. But I had a lot of hesitation- Taking Ayahuasca? - it’s so out of the box for so many of us. As a believer in Christ Jesus, could I even do this?
Yet who wants to stay stuck? Ayahuasca is a healer. It’s sitting down with a gentle instructive mother. The love and care of the staff to support you as you heal is a warm blanket of compassion. The flow of the program is designed to help you wade into the unknown gently.
The facility is top-notch. The food is abundant and the best the earth can offer, fresh, colorful and delicious. The group discussions help you process and support others in their healing.
After my experience, what has changed? For me, my internal emotional temperature has smoothed. I see from a larger frame. I’ve developed a compassionate heart towards those that struggle and hurt. I feel loved more (if that’s possible) by God. I would describe my life as more restful. I will go back. I hope you take the step.

My second retreat there, Best place to discover your self and grow

This was my second retreat at Arkana Spiritual Center—and definitely not the last. There is simply no better place to dive deep into yourself, heal, and grow. The center itself is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature, calm, and intention. You feel safe the moment you arrive.

The staff, the owner, and the shamans are all beyond words—so present, loving, and deeply committed to holding space in the most authentic way. The energy at Arkana is powerful yet nurturing. Everything is done with such care, respect for the medicine, and genuine support for each individual’s journey.

If you’re looking for a safe, heart-centered, and transformational space, Arkana is it. I’m deeply grateful for this experience, again, and I know I’ll be returning.

Life Changing

Arkana saved my life. I was going down a pretty dark, self-destructive path before I went. Between the maestro’s ikaros and the plant medicine, they changed my life for the better. Never felt so safe and loved in my life. I will be back, probably more than once.

Powerful Experience for Growth.

I spent a week at Arkana exploring with the medicine. This isn’t my first time sitting but was my first experience at Arkana. Their facilitators, shaman, medicine, food, and accommodation's were first class.

The ceremony setting and integration classes were held beautifully. I will be returning in the future when the medicine calls again.

Thank you to Maestro Justina, Josè, and the rest of the staff.
