Details of this retreat

A Retreat for Men Cultivating Purpose, Emotional Depth, and Relational Intimacy

Society teaches men that we need to have our shit together. The pressure to achieve, perform, and succeed weighs on us. We carry responsibility — for our work, our families, and the people who depend on us. From the outside, things may look good. Inside, many of us are feeling stretched thin or quietly burning out.


At the same time, we often feel guilty making time for ourselves. We push ourselves to work harder, heal faster, and move on quicker, without giving ourselves real permission to tend to our own needs and hearts.

This retreat is about slowing down and coming together in the Colombian countryside as a community of men. It’s an invitation to rest, to reconnect with ourselves, and to develop healthier ways of relating — to our loved ones, our work, and our inner lives.

Through ritual, somatic exercises, and group work, we’ll create space to feel and move through what we’re carrying — including anger, grief, and unexpressed emotion. We’ll begin to gently identify the patterns that keep showing up in our careers and relationships, while also honoring where we are right now.

Each man is invited to engage in the retreat in a way that feels supportive and aligned. Healing and growth may come through nature and hiking, nourishing food and conversation, open-hearted community, career and relationship workshops, individual coaching, movement, and daily mindfulness practices we can take home with us.

Together, we’ll explore what it means to be a man today. We’ll cultivate a grounded, healthy relationship with masculinity — one that includes strength and sensitivity, stability and creativity. An integrated way of being: moving through the world with the steadiness of a mountain and the flow of a river.

LaWayra Ayahuasca Retreat
I have been to LaWayra several times as a patient and can only describe it as a truly magical place.
Set in Colombian countryside it is surrounded by beautiful nature and refreshing waterfalls.
While everyone on the team goes beyond to make sure you are safe and well taken care of, you get to experience the indigenous medicine with its ancient traditions. With deepest respect to everyone‘s integrity Taita Fernando works very delicately with the medicine to ensure everyone’s safety to experience profound journeys into the subconscious.
Taking part in ceremonies at LaWayra you are able to gain deep insights into yourself, heal traumatic events, depression and anxiety and get in touch with spirituality. Besides that LaWayra offers a safe container to find a wonderful community and heal through the group, shared experiences and learn and heal from each other.
Every time coming back I am incredibly grateful for having this safe space to connect with myself, to others and to grow from this experience.

The best ayahuasca experience
I've attended multiple times, and my experience has been great. I've also attended other retreats and I've found that the shaman and medicine at this retreat has been the best, and the service is also excellent. Also, great value for the multiple day retreats. Highly recommended.

Transformative Experience
Before deciding on our Ayahuasca Retreat destination, we did a great deal of research on options in a variety of locations, including Peru, Costa Rica, and of course Colombia. We decided on LaWayra because of the affordability, the retreat options, and mostly because of the personal testimonials we reviewed from past guests that spoke to the care and attention to safety. We chose the private tambo (hut/cabin) option and an 11-day retreat with six medicine ceremonies. We thought about just doing the four-day retreat but are so glad we chose a longer stay.

The transformative and healing experience during our stay, is nothing short of miraculous. Choosing such a powerful modality of self-care through plant medicine is a decision that will impact our lives moving forward in positive ways that have already begun to unfold. It literally feels like 10 years of therapy took place for both my husband and I over the past eleven days. We also created a bond with the entire staff and volunteers, and with the other guests that will last a lifetime.

If you're considering a plant medicine retreat and you are feeling the call to Ayahuasca, I would highly recommend LaWayra. Don't let fear of vulnerability prevent you from stepping out on your personal path of trauma healing and living life victoriously. Do it for your loved ones; do it for your friends, but most importantly; do it for you! It's one of the best investments you'll make in yourself, and I know you won't regret it!

Much love to you as you courageously journey on your life path. 💗💗💗

Transformative experience that impacted my entire life !
As this was my first experience with Ayahuasca, I was quite nervous of the experience using plant medicine. Because I felt a strong "calling", my husband and I did an extensive amount of research to find the right retreat. I was continuously drawn to LaWayra in our research...and must say that it was an incredible life changing experience. The amenities of the tambo having showers and the views of the mountains while laying in the hammock allowed me to truly relax and find inner peace when not in ceremony. The plant medicine prepared by the Taita with his long lineage of wisdom and care was exactly what I needed. It opened me up to dealing with some really deep rooted childhood trauma and finding forgiveness and self love. Additionally, the word circles allowed me to become vulnerable with other guests, sharing experiences without judgement, helping the strong walls I had built up to come down. The care of the team was incredible and I can say that I always felt truly safe and cared for. I have an enormous amount of gratitude for this life changing experience !
