About this Retreat
Doña Angela is the sister of don Enrique and don Ronor. She studied in the same Shipibo healing tradition, based on relationships with five plant spirits: Noya Rao, Bobinsana, Chiric Sanango, Marusa, and Chullachaqui. She leads our shorter retreats at the Riosbo Retreat and Research Center. She's a mother and her caring spirit is felt in ceremony as well as during the treatments she provides. Doña Angela has a compassionate and caring energy and enjoys teaching and guiding program participants as well as our own facilitators. Her presence is enjoyed by everyone who comes in contact with her. It's a pleasure to offer programs with her and to know her.

HARMONIZE YOUR HEALTH
Our 7 day women's ayahuasca retreat provides a special opportunity to receive tremendous benefit in a short amount of time. Retreat participants spend 7 days at the Riosbo Ayahuasca Research Center where they will attend 3 ayahuasca ceremonies led by a Shipibo maestra and her assistant healers. To enhance the healing effect of the ayahuasca ceremonies, participants also receive numerous treatments with other plant medicines to cleanse and balance all of their systems. These plant medicines include personalized treatments specific to the needs of each retreat participant as well as integrative techniques that deepen the healing effect by addressing one's perceptions and reactions to experiences. By combining ancestral traditions of plant medicine with beneficial healing modalities like family constellations this retreat offers the optimal opportunity to achieve harmony in your body, mind and spirit.
Ayahuasca ceremonies are powerful awareness expanding experiences that amplify participants' senses. The effect of ayahuasca increases sensory perception beyond the normal biological limitations. Participants can see beyond the visible spectrum, hear beyond the audible spectrum, and feel beyond the spectrums of intuition. This experience of heightened awareness empowers ceremony participants to play an active role in your own healing process. By increasing the messaging we receive from our sense organs, including our gut, brain, and heart, we can better discover for ourselves the roots of our afflictions and the best way forward to regain harmony and balance in our lives. With expanded awareness, we can also connect more directly with the spiritual dimension, which exists in frequencies of energy that are normally beyond the spectrums of our perceptive abilities. The Shipibo curandero works within these spiritual realms to collaborate with plant spirits to assist in the healing process.
Each day during the retreat, participants receive medicinal plant treatments to detoxify, cleanse, and restore their natural health. Before each treatment, the facilitators describe its purpose and effect, and assist the curandero. They also lead complimentary activities like yoga, meditation, massage, and counseling. This retreat is much more than just attending ayahuasca ceremonies. All of the additional plant medicine treatments work together with the ceremonies to produce the highest possible outcome for health on every level. The complimentary practices not only deepen the healing experienced during the retreat, but also help to form healthy habits to continue after the retreat. Counseling sessions for preparation and integration are also included in the cost of the retreat.
