The Ayahuasca retreats are for those people who seek a responsible way of spiritually opening to their self awareness and higher consciousness. The retreats offer us the key to ancestral shamanic practices which will lead us to amplified states of consciousness. The opportunity for deep personal growth, reflection and holistic cleansing is invaluable.
The ceremonial initiation with Ayahuasca will open a lifelong relationship with spirituality. The new internal order that emerges is obtained from a transcendental dimension which reveals the purpose and meaning of life.
During the retreat, we will have three Ayahuasca sessions, integrated in a harmonic process which will include discussion forums (satsang) about the experience. Each session produces a profound reaction in the body, mind and spirit. Ayahuasca sheds light into your reality, shows you what you need to heal or integrate in order to transcend into higher levels of awareness and harmony.
