10-Day Ayahuasca Retreat in Peru
This retreat is designed for those who want to approach Ayahuasca with clarity, responsibility, and integrity—removing the guesswork and ensuring the process is held with structure from start to finish.
Why This Retreat?
The Ayahuasca landscape can be confusing. Many “well-meaning” but inexperienced people offer medicine without proper support, structure, or authenticity. Recognizing this, we created this retreat to provide a clear, guided, and trustworthy process.
At the heart of the experience is working with authentic curanderos (shamans)—individuals with deep connection to the plants, rooted traditions, and generations of knowledge. We combine this wisdom with the clarity and accountability of a modern retreat to ensure you are supported every step of the way.
Ayahuasca is a powerful tool, but transformation requires more than just drinking the medicine. It’s about intentional preparation, expert-led ceremony, experienced guidance, and thoughtful integration—all of which are built into this retreat.
About Me
My name is Jarrod. I’m Australian and have been living in Latin America for the past five years. Over the last seven years, I’ve worked extensively with Ayahuasca and other plant medicines across Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Mexico.
I spent 1.5 years as a lead facilitator at a respected retreat center in Colombia, guiding 60–70 participants each month through deep and transformative processes. Beyond Ayahuasca, I also facilitate Bufo and co-lead retreats in Europe that integrate psilocybin and breathwork. Since 2022, I’ve served as a lead facilitator—bringing grounded leadership, clear structure, and full-spectrum support to every retreat I guide.
The Collaborative Model
These retreats are built under a collaborative model I designed after years of experience and research.
I've created the retreat, the program, I organize the participants, lead the retreat, facilitate in all ceremonies and guide both preparation and integration. Think of it like we are renting the center, staff and the infrastructure.
The center provides accommodation, nourishing meals, support staff, ceremonies, and the shamans.
The curandero focuses fully on the ceremonial and medicine work, bringing lineage-based guidance and authenticity.
This model ensures accountability, quality, and balance. It also helps prevent the echo chambers that can arise when retreats lack diversity or structure.
My role is to hold the journey from start to finish—preparation before arrival, leadership during the retreat, and support in integration afterward. The retreat center and curandero provide a safe, rooted, and well-held container for the ceremonial work.
The result is clarity, consistency, and strong support—ensuring that every participant is seen, held, and guided through a complete and powerful process.
