We organize all year round journeys of exploration and self-discovery, through spiritual, ethno-botanical and shamanic oriented retreats and expeditions in the upper Amazon Rainforest, Andes and North Coast areas of Peru.

 

In the Northern Amazon:

 

Two different shamanic and healing retreats here: in the exquisite Onanyan Shobo - an Amazonian indigenous shamanism centre which we helped to create, mainly focused on native Shipibo shamanism - and in Sachamama Ethnobotanical Garden. Both centres are in the jungle near Iquitos, the capital of the vast department of Loreto.

 

In the Peruvian Highlands and the Northern Coast:

 

Huachuma Journeys with participation to ayahuasca and San Pedro healing rituals, led by the most distinguished master shaman don Pedro Leon: going from the oracular site of Chavin de Huántar, up to the Moche and Lambayeque ritual pyramids.

 

In the Andes:

 

Shamanic Expeditions to the Q'eros Indians , keepers of the Inka Prophecies on the end of time (pachacuti). Expeditions to the mysterious Marka Wasi plateau, with the optional participation of a local curandero.

According to the nature and aim of your journey and interests, you will have strong opportunities to:

 

Investigate and research both indigenous and mestizo (e.g. non tribal) shamanic culture of the Amazon, the Andes and the Coast;

Experience the time-honoured use of entheogenics like ayahuasca and San Pedro in their most natural and traditional settings;

Benefit from Amazonian and Coastal traditional healing practices and participate to ceremonies with ayahuasca, the "vine of the soul". This is the magical brew used in the Amazon basin from pre-Columbian times, and by the Incas themselves, to experience the ecstatic flight of communion with the gods;

The traditional shamanic apprenticeship, the "dieta" with plant teachers (plantas maestras and palos maestros, like ayahuasca, ajo sacha, lupuna, toe', chiric sanango, piripiri, and many more), in Onanyan Shobo

Learn about the magical and medicinal plants of the jungle used by local and indigenous healers;

Have the thrill of adventure in the most remote areas and extreme environments of the planet;

Have an insight in the traditional and ancient civilizations and archaeology of Peru.

 

Shamanic Journeys in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru

 

ONANYAN SHOBO (SHAMAN'S HOUSE)

 

 

This programme is focussed on exploring and directly participate to traditional Amazonian indigenous shamanic practices, and takes place in Onanyan Shobo (e.g. the "Shaman's House", in Shipibo tongue), a new centre that we have helped to create, near the jungle town of Iquitos. Intense ayahuasca ceremonies - four times a week! - a sauna, a sweat Lodge, baños de limpie (energy & body cleansing baths), baños de florecimiento (changing-luck ritual flower baths) and , long term plant diet retreats (shamanic apprenticeship) up to sixteen weeks in length, and learning about Shipibo shamanism and culture, are the focus of this retreat with Amazonian indigenous maestros. Longer periods may be agreed on.

 

We humbly believe to be among the very few facilitators of shamanic and ethno-botanical oriented journeys around the world to offer and promote plant-based experiential retreats of this length in the Peruvian Amazon.
