The day begins with a time for integration, during which participants can share their experiences and receive guidance on the messages and visions they received during the ceremony.

What does our Ayahuasca ceremony include?
AYAHUASCA CEREMONY, INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:
There are 7 complete techniques, Ayahuasca and Wachuma (San Pedro), plus the 5 ancient Inca ceremonies. We have organized the following activities within your 3-day retreat, according to our Inca culture:
- Volcanic Medicinal Water: Before the main ceremony, a physical cleansing is performed using volcanic medicinal water, rich in natural minerals. This process aids in the body’s detoxification and prepares it to receive the ancestral medicine. It is recommended to drink it one day before the retreat or, if time is limited, on the same day.
- Reading of Coca Leaves: The traditional coca leaf reading provides spiritual guidance and a personal energetic diagnosis. This practice helps participants understand important aspects of their individual journey and offers guidance for the work that will take place during the retreat.
- Cleansing of Negative Energies: Before the ceremony, an energetic cleansing is performed to release negative energies and harmonize the energy field. This ritual aims to prepare the body, mind, and spirit to experience the ceremony with greater balance and openness.
- The Ayahuasca Ceremony: Ayahuasca is an ancient medicine used to facilitate processes of introspection, personal growth, and spiritual healing. Many people experience a deep connection with themselves, allowing them to understand their emotions, strengthen their awareness, and promote positive changes in their lives.
- Wachuma (San Pedro) Ceremony: Wachuma, also known as San Pedro, is a sacred plant in Andean tradition associated with the connection between nature and human beings. Its energy is often perceived as gentler than that of Ayahuasca and fosters reflection, inner peace, and emotional balance.
- Offering to the Pachamama (Mother Earth): This ritual of gratitude honors Mother Earth for life, health, abundance, and the teachings received during the retreat. Through a traditional offering, participants seek to strengthen their connection with nature and harmonize their personal energies.
- Flowering Bath: As a closing ceremony, the blossoming bath symbolizes spiritual renewal and energetic protection. It is performed with flowers and aromatic plants to attract well-being, balance, and new positive energies.
