Our coordinators will wake you up with a refreshing organic papaya smoothie. After you have got ready, we will go to a special place in the farm to perform a guided meditation ceremony receiving the powerful and healing energy of the sun.

Having the body harmonized with nature and its energy allows us to have a better experience when ingesting Ayahuasca.
1. Medicinal plant trail

1. Yoga by the river
After a light vegetarian lunch and some digestion time, we will go in our private car to the banks of a river, where we will have a guided Yoga session. Yoga is a practice that connects the body, breath and mind. This practice uses physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation to improve overall health. This activity is very important for a more intense journey in an Ayahuasca retreat.
1. Campfire to share Ayahuasca teachings
We will make a campfire and all the Ayahuasca lovers gather around it, to share everything learned in the 2 Ayahuasca ceremonies. It will be a time to share experiences under the power of fire and spectacular sounds of the drums played by our shamans.

After an energizing smoothie of organic fruits from the region, we will go to our Maloka. Place where our shaman, with the help of our coordinators and translators, will interpret the visions and symbols that Ayahuasca has revealed to you. From experience I can tell you that the interpretation of visions is just as important as the ceremony itself.

2. Amazonian Flowering Bath

It is always necessary and highly recommended to perform a cleansing and purification ceremony after an Ayahuasca retreat. Ayahuasca will not only teach you but will also eliminate many negative aspects that have been built into your daily life. The flowering bath performed by our shaman aims to physically and spiritually eliminate all kinds of toxic elements that are disturbing you.

3. Munay Meditation

In the afternoon we will walk 30 minutes to a spot by the river, where we will do a Munay or unconditional love meditation.
