Ayahuasca Retreat in Peru. September ’25
Our Amazon retreat is a deep immersion into the traditional ayahuasca practice of the Shipibo people, held in the heart of the Peruvian jungle. Guided by experienced shamans, the retreat centres on three night time ceremonies, supported by rituals with jungle medicines, plant walks, and time in the forest. This is not a fusion or reinterpretation—it is an invitation to encounter the medicine in its original context, with humility and respect.
Designed for experienced seekers, the retreat requires both physical and psychological readiness. The conditions are simple but supportive, with traditional meals, basic accommodation, and the presence of Numinous Ways facilitators to help bridge cultures and integrate the experience. It is not a luxury offering—it is real, challenging, and potentially life-altering.
- Thorough preparation and integration, guided by Numinous Ways facilitators to support understanding and grounding
- Three traditional ayahuasca ceremonies led by experienced Shipibo shamans
- Immersive journeys into the jungle guided by a local herbalist
- Boat travel along the Amazon River to witness its vast natural majesty
- Plant baths and clay baths for cleansing and grounding
- Visits to local markets and cultural exchange with indigenous communities
- Encounters with jungle medicines: rapé, sananga, mambe, coca leaves, and bobinsana
- Participation in the brewing and replanting of the ayahuasca vine
- Preparation and sharing of ceremonial cacao beneath the forest canopy
- Final two nights in Lima to rest, reflect, and begin re-entry into the Western world
*** Please note that the dates may shift slightly depending on intercontinental flight availability.
