What to Expect from Your Retreat Experience
Ceremonies Guided by Johanka
The heart of the retreat is two ayahuasca ceremonies, where you will be guided through a sacred, ceremonial process by Johanka, our dedicated and compassionate Medicine Carrier. With years of experience working with the medicine, Johanka ensures that each participant feels held, safe, and fully supported during the ceremonies. These transformative experiences are designed to help you release emotional blockages, heal past traumas, and connect with higher consciousness.
All-Inclusive Retreat Package
To allow you to focus entirely on your inner journey, we provide everything you need during your stay, including:
Two Ayahuasca Ceremonies: One ceremony each evening, allowing for deep reflection, healing, and insight.
Accommodations: Comfortable, serene lodging for two nights, offering you a peaceful place to rest and integrate your experiences between ceremonies.
Nourishing Meals: All meals are provided throughout the retreat, thoughtfully prepared to support your body as you prepare for and recover from each ceremony. Our meals are aligned with traditional ayahuasca dieta guidelines to enhance your experience.
