11 day Ayahuasca & Somatic Journey

From insight to embodied transformation

If you’re ready to explore what’s beneath the surface, in a safe, trauma-informed, and supportive space, guided by a trusted community and practices that reconnect you to your body, this retreat is for YOU.
By the end of this retreat, you’ll feel more grounded in your body, clearer in your heart, and connected to something greater than yourself, through the combined power of sacred yagé (ayahuasca) ceremony, somatic practices, and a family-like community that holds you.
You’ll leave with deeper trust in your inner process, tools for emotional regulation, and a renewed sense of direction, so you can return to your life feeling more whole, more awake, and more aligned with what truly matters.

DROP INTO THE EXPERIENCE
Imagine stepping into a way of living that’s deeply connected to nature and community. You will hike into the lush Colombian mountains, leaving the noise of the world behind. With every step, your senses will soften; birdsong, rivers, and sacred silence will greet you. After a gentle walk through nature, you’ll arrive at a hand-built retreat center, crafted with natural materials and the wisdom of the land. Here, nature conexion isn’t a concept, it’s our way of life.
You’ll settle into a space that invites listening; to tradition, to Spirit, and most of all, to yourself.
You will be welcomed by a caring team, including our respected Indigenous Taita, a shaman from a lineage of wisdom passed down through generations, who will not only guide the ceremonial space but will be present for you the whole journey.
From the moment you arrive, the journey begins. Through somatic (body-based and movement) practices, you will gently ground into the territory, reconnect with your body, and begin weaving bonds with the group that will walk this path beside you. You will also receive somatic tools to support you during the ceremonies. Furthermore, you will have private time with the facilitators, where you will be deeply listened to.
Step by step, a foundation of safety and trust is created. Only then, when the body begins to recognize safety, will you enter the sacred ceremonies of ayahuasca.
Held by ancestral traditions and sacred medicine music, you will be supported through every stage of the experience. The music becomes a guide, moving through every layer of your being, while the small, family-like circle around you offers a space where you can be seen and welcomed exactly as you are.
Throughout the journey, you will learn how to meet the intensity of the medicine with presence, how to listen to the wisdom of your body with compassion, and how to move through what arises, not with fear, but with trust.

WHY THIS RETREAT
The Ayahuasca & Somatic Journey Retreat is not just another ayahuasca retreat. It’s a holistic, transformational experience created for those who are no longer seeking a quick fix, a peak experience, or a spiritual high. This retreat is for those who are ready to meet themselves fully, honestly, and gently.
Here, healing doesn’t come from intensity alone, but from integration. From sacred ceremony and deep listening. From reconnecting to your body, your truth, and a kind of support that feels real, not performative.
You’ll be held in a space that honors both the medicine and the nervous system. Because we believe true transformation happens when spirit meets the body… and when both are welcomed with softness and care.

WHAT THE RETREAT OFFERS YOU
The medicines may open the door to spiritual insight, emotional release, or a felt connection with something greater than yourself. But this retreat is much more than that; it’s a carefully held space designed to support your process before, during, and after the ceremonies.
You’ll learn to reconnect with your emotions through the body in a way that feels safe, manageable, and real. With gentle somatic practices and a trauma-informed approach, you’ll build the capacity to feel more (including during ceremonies), without being overwhelmed.
You’ll be given space and structure to slow down and listen. Through somatic preparation and integration, group processes, journaling and immersion in nature, you’ll begin to release what’s been held in your body and return home with more clarity, more calm, and more connection.
The Yagé used in the ceremonies has been lovingly prepared by the Taita and supporting team, using plants from the very land we stand on, enhancing the potency of the medicine and grounding your journey in the spirit of the mountains and ancestral wisdom.

THE POWER OF COMBINING SOMATIC PRACTICES WITH PLAN MEDICINES
Healing happens most deeply when we engage not only the mind, but also the body and spirit.
Somatic practices are body-centered approaches that help us reconnect with our sensations, emotions, and inner experiences. Through conscious movement, breathwork, and body awareness, we learn to regulate the nervous system, release stored tension, and send important cues of safety to the body. This is essential because true surrender cannot happen through the mind alone; letting go becomes possible only when the body itself feels safe.
Yagé can open profound states of awareness and emotional release. But without the ability to stay connected to the body, the intensity of the experience may feel overwhelming. Somatic tools help you remain grounded, navigate what arises with presence, and integrate the experience through feeling more than thinking.
By cultivating awareness through movement and breath before, during, and after the ceremony, we create the conditions for transformation that is not only profound but also safe, embodied, and lasting.

SAFETY IS THE FOUNDATION
Before the ceremonies, we guide you through practices designed to create four essential layers of safety:
Safety in the place — Knowing where you are, who holds the land, and where you are landing helps your body settle from the start.
Safety with the group — Through playful group activities, we build trust, belonging, and connection — so you can feel at ease being yourself.
Safety with the facilitators — All facilitators, including the Taita, are present and available throughout the entire retreat — not just during ceremonies.
Safety in the body — With somatic tools and nervous system regulation, your body learns it’s safe, so your mind can let go.
These foundations allow you to release control and connect more deeply with the medicine, with trust, presence, and support.
