A typical day at our Ayahuasca retreat can vary depending on the specific group dynamics and individual preferences. However, here is a general outline of what you might expect during a day at our retreat center:
- Morning (after a ceremony night):
Light breakfast: We serve a simple and easily digestible meal in the morning in order to get some energy after the ceremony night.
- Daytime Activities:
Our daily program is flexible according to the individual needs of our participants. We want everybody to feel comfortable at our place!
For those who would like to rest there is plenty of time to relax body, mind and soul in order to allow the healing and integration process to continue. You can read, write a journal, take a swim in the lake right next to the house and connect to mother nature or meditate in the garden of the healing space. Other than that we can do sharing circles on our last night experience with mother ayahuasca if the group wants it. Furthermore we do a touristic tour to the colorful Colombian Town called "Guatapé".
- Afternoon:
Light lunch: We typically provide a light meal to ensure our participants are not too full or hungry during the evening Ayahuasca ceremony.
Personal preparation: Our participants are encouraged to spend time in quiet contemplation, focusing on their intentions for the upcoming ceremony.
- Evening/night:
Ayahuasca ceremony: The main event of the retreat is usually held outside the house close by the fire. The shaman's team and the participants gather in a sacred circle, and the shaman guides the ceremony, which involves drinking the Ayahuasca brew (at about 11pm). The ceremony usually lasts all night (until 6 or 7 am), during which our participants experience visions, insights, and intense emotional and spiritual processes.
It's important to note that Ayahuasca retreats are often spiritually and emotionally intense experiences. Safety, respect for the plant medicine, and the guidance of an experienced, traditional shaman is very important to us in order to ensure a safe and transformative experience for the participants!
