December 29, 2025 - January 4, 2026
Step into the new year with clarity, purpose, and deep spiritual alignment through this 7-day healing retreat held in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. Designed for those who wish to consciously transition into a new cycle, this special New Year’s retreat combines the ancestral power of two sacred master plants — Ayahuasca and Huachuma (San Pedro) — with the grounding support of professional psychotherapeutic integration.
Over the course of the retreat, you’ll participate in 3 Ayahuasca ceremonies and 1 Huachuma ceremony, each guided by highly experienced and deeply committed Amazonian shamans. Ayahuasca invites deep emotional release and vision, helping you clear what no longer serves you, while Huachuma — a daytime plant medicine rooted in the Andean tradition — opens the heart, brings clarity of purpose, and supports profound connection to the Earth and all life.
This retreat offers more than ceremonies. Through daily check-ins, group sharing, and integrative sessions with our professional psychotherapist, you will be supported in processing your experiences with care, compassion, and depth. This integrative approach ensures that each insight gained can be truly embodied — not just during the retreat, but well beyond.
Whether you’re seeking emotional healing, a spiritual reset, or a powerful way to begin your year with intention and connection, this retreat provides a safe and sacred container for transformation, reflection, and renewal.
