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.

Very Professional, highly recommend!
I spent 28 days at their Riosbo retreat centre in the Mishana community for the healing empowerment course. It was incredible, I learned and healed more than I could have imagined. Everything was put together perfectly, the facilitators Brian and Mariella are very kind and great at all they do. Maestro Don Rono is an excellent healer and teacher too. I hope to return one day, I highly recommend the Ayahuasca Foundation!

Great Curandero and facilitators and a very comfortable facilities
I stayed at the Riosbo Center for 4 weeks to attend the empowerment course. Starting with the facilities, I appreciated having a private room and bathroom. The availability of electricity at the center, which is not the case at all other centers, was very important. The laundry facilities were excellent and much appreciated. The center itself is housed in a spacious and well-maintained building. Meals were prepared by a professional cook, and the ingredients used were abundant, taking into account the dietary restrictions required for the Ayahuasca retreat.

The initial organization of the arrival was also very well managed, including clear information about what participants needed to bring, prepare for, and an arrival guide. Hotel booking before departure to the Riosbo Center and airport pickup were also arranged smoothly.

Daily activities were abundant, starting with learning workshops on plants and curanderismo, as well as yoga sessions, breathwork, and sharing circles. We also had ample opportunities to drink plant medicines for various healing purposes, along with plant and vapor baths.

I absolutely loved the ceremonies. The facilitators and curandero were highly professional, knowledgeable, and ethical. Without them, my experience would not have been as enjoyable. They went above and beyond to assist each participant with everything they needed. The ayahuasca ceremonies were administered in the most ethical and professional manner, creating a very safe environment. The tips and guidance I received from the facilitators were invaluable, and the power and energy I felt from the curandero were incredible.

I thoroughly enjoyed the ayahuasca ceremonies, which served as a teacher and helped me understand and perceive many dimensions and profound wisdom.

I would be delighted to return to the centre and continue my journey of self-exploration. A special thanks to Carlos, Cassandra, Mariela, Brian, Pancho, Sergio, José, and all the staff at the centre.

Just how powerful we all
It is life changing experience! I lived 8 weeks as a spirit so happy floating around and tap into unknown sides of me. I completely forgot about my body there really no mirrors around, I felt very beautiful, graceful at all times.
I found connection to God, plants are all so alive and telepathically communicating at all times. All plant medicine is amazingly healing and did exactly what it is said to do.
I tuned in to feel like that is our real state of being to feel magic, creativity, lightness, beauty, empowerment. That was incredible to find out that I can sing when I haven’t even learned one song in my lifetime. I felt myself genius my memory was incredible I could memorize anything, my head space was so clear, my will power was back, my boundaries are so strong and ego became very small. I really walk joyfully as a very happy child.
I haven’t craved any food and barely wanted to eat I realized just how much I was just unconsciously eating to numb myself.
I have no desire to watch tv and rather go for a walk. I talk to God all the time now and I feel Gods presence everywhere.
All of the people working at retreat doing really good job. They never interfere with your energy and very careful around what they do and say so you can have your authentic experience without any suggestion. I found everyone being very kind and carrying. You will get basic food as expected but it is more than enough and just perfect.
I have learned how powerful I can be and I know that we all are. It reminded me of a lion story, who was raised by sheep and thought he was a sheep until he got awakened by another lion.
I thank you all for this experience as I am integrating and solidifying all that I learned and awakened in me every day I believe more and more that is real me. :)
