5-day Traditional Shamanic Ayahuasca Retreat

with Taita Juan from Colombia

Traditional wisdom meets modern approaches

11th - 15th June, 2024


Shamanic Ayahuasca Retreat in Portugal!


We are so grateful to be able to announce this collaboration with the Retreat Center Shanayoy from Colombia, with Curandero Taita Juan Bautista of the Kamentsa lineage.


We bring the energy of the jungle to you, since we know it’s not always logistically possible to travel to the jungle, for a traditional ayahuasca experience. Working together with the Retreat Center Shanayoy, we aim to build a bridge between the wisdom passed on for generations from curandero to curandero for thousands of years and western approaches when it comes to psychedelics assisted therapies.


This retreat is meant for everyone who is ready to take the journey to their core self, to heal and expand their consciousness, to experience connectedness and the magic of an authentic Colombian Ayahuasca/Yage ceremony.


Group size: 20


Accommodations in bell tents, caravans, rooms with bunkbeds, 2 to 4 people in a room/tent. You are welcome to bring your own tent if you wish to enjoy a single accommodation. You can stay with your campervan on our property too, we can provide you with water, electricity and access to bathrooms.
