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.

Arkana Ayahuasca Center Review: A Transformative Experience 🌟

🌟 Arkana Ayahuasca Center Review: A Transformative Experience 🌟
This is not just a retreat; it's a complete healing journey. After nearly a year of research, I chose Arkana, and I am so grateful I did.
1. My Personal Experience (The Arkana Family)
The entire place is amazing, with every spot having its own unique character.
* The Staff: They are more than just kind—they are truly a new family. Everyone, from the cleaners to the Shamans, is filled with love and a genuine desire to ensure you achieve your goals. Their care is 100% genuine.
* The Healing Journey: The environment is built on four strong pillars: The powerful Jungle, the loving Staff, the sacred Ayahuasca spirit, and authentic Shamans. This is a complete treatment center from arrival to departure.
* Food: The food was outstanding—Yummy, healthy, and perfectly supportive of the cleansing and healing process!
2. For Future Visitors (Important Insight)
If your goal is just to "try" Ayahuasca as a normal drink, this is not your place. Ayahuasca is a spirit that demands respect. This center is for those committed to a deep, complete, and healing journey.
| Category | My Rating & Thoughts |
|---|---|
| Jungle | Super, WOW! A standalone healing force. |
| Staff | I have a new family now. |
| Shamans | Real deal! They share their palpable energy with you. |
| Overall Vibe | The ultimate experience of love, energy, and peace. |

Truth

My recent journey at Arkana was not about visions or stories I simply came to listen. It was about truth. It was about understanding that life itself is a song and the medicine only helps you hear the parts you have forgotten. What I received there was not a performance. It was alignment. It was the reminder that my path is strongest when I live from my centre and not from the noise around me.

The shamans reflected my light back to me in a way that was simple and honest. Not inflated. Not romanticised. Just truth. When I sang icaros on my toilet journeys during ceremony they came from a place deeper than my throat, They came from my chest, from my heart, from a part of me that wakes up when the plants speak. For the first time I felt completely safe inside myself. Safe to open. Safe to feel. Safe to let my voice be carried by something bigger than me.
Arkana was not an escape it was a complete recalibration. It stripped away what was left of the stories and left only the essence. The medicine made it clear that the path forward is about singing my own song, not repeating the echoes of others. My work is to stay aligned,to stay honest with myself and to act from the truth that lives in my body already. When I step out of that alignment, I feel it immediately. When I return to it, everything flows again.
This journey finally showed me that I am not invisible. My light is real. My presence is felt. But it is not something to hold onto with an ego. It is something to live from. Something to serve with. Something to protect.

Arkana reminded me that the plants do not want stories. They want sincerity. They want intention. They want you to listen. When you listen, your life becomes a song that guides you. A song that clears what is heavy. A song that brings you back to who you truly are.

This was my second time at Arkana it was an experience to return to truth. A return to myself and a reminder that the path ahead is not about becoming anything. It is about remembering. It is about standing in my own medicine and letting my song move through me with clarity, love and purpose!

During ceremony when I looked up at the roof of the maloca I could feel Jose’s energy and love reflected back at me, and it would make me smile without even trying. Every structure, every detail, every part of the space carries that presence and makes you feel completely held.
The facilitators are genuinely beautiful humans and the light they carry is immense. You feel it in the way they hold space and move through the work. The shamans also became very meaningful to me. By the end of the retreat it felt as if they had become my brothers and sisters.
Love all serve all 💜💜💜

Simply Lifechanging

My recent visit to the Arkana Spiritual Center jungle location simply couldn't have been better. From the rooms to the staff to the food, everything was first class and exceeded expectations. The shamans all genuinely cared for us and were always willing to answer questions or work with us, even outside of ceremonies. I cannot recommend this place more!

Powerful medicine + incredible people + right relation to community & land

I was fortunate to attend ceremony at both Arkana’s Amazon and Sacred Valley locations. I’ve been working with plant medicine for more than twenty years, and I’ve never seen a team blend Shipibo healing so beautifully with proven Eastern practices like breathwork, yoga, and sound healing. The container they create is truly special.

The shamans are deeply rooted in the lineage, the facilitators are warm, knowledgeable, and accessible, the food is delicious, and the accommodations are top-notch.

I would enthusiastically recommend both Arkana locations to anyone who feels the authentic call to sit with the medicine.

Ayahuasca Retreat

Arkana is, without question, the most extraordinary healing center on the planet. I’ve visited many places on this path, and none come close to the level of intention, care, and mastery woven into every detail here. The facilitators feel almost otherworldly in their wisdom and presence, and the medicines they work with are nothing short of transformative.

Peru now holds a piece of my spirit, and for that, I’ll forever be grateful to Arkana. If you’ve ever doubted that magic exists, spend time at one of their centers—you’ll leave with a very different understanding of you and of the world. The shamans are truly enchanted beings, so profoundly gifted that they don’t just guide you… they shift the very core of your soul.
