San Pedro Sacred Ceremony

It has been a privilege to be guided by Miguel and received the medicine by his hand. This experience gets deeper every time. The ceremony was beautifully prepared and was handled with so much love, dedication and devotion, as he prays.
My daughter 17 years old accompanied us for the first time, and it was because we would do it under his guidance. How carefully he prepared us days before, with voice messages, videos and personal talk.
I have seen miracles happen, thanks to it.
Bring yourself, that is all .

Sacred ceremony with amazonian medicine

I have been in 2 ceremonies this year, both conducted by Miguel. Although they were completely diferent from one another, they both provided me deep knowledge about my inner truth and about out connection between us and with mother earth. Since then, my life perspective has changed. I think Ive become more tolerant, aware, chilled and why not happier! Miguel was awesome when guiding the process. His being, music and compassion are present during the whole ceremony. Thus, making you feel safe Even when facing the darkest part of yourself.
I absolutely recommend this practice if you want changes in your life and you don’t know where to start or if you feel somehow lost. Let me tell you dear friend, the answers lie within you and this is a great technique to start finding them. Please don’t lose hope, know you are not alone and there are a lot of us willing to see you as you are: a full of love compassive human being

Beautiful, life-changing experience

I spent a full week retreat at Sacha Runa, and it was truly magical! Juan is extremely kind, caring, and attentive. He deeply respects Mother Nature and his path as a shaman, and is very knowledgeable about a wide range of spiritual teachings. He truly wants the best for his guests, both while on the retreat and also on their life journey. He made me feel extremely welcomed, and I trusted him completely.

As a female traveling on my own, I felt safe and secure at Sacha Runa. The location is nestled among snow-capped mountains and beautiful views, and the buildings are constructed in a way that allows visitors to connect with nature.

I would highly recommend going to Sacha Runa, and look forward to going back myself someday. I’m deeply grateful for Juan and his partner, Lula, and the beautiful experience they shared with me.

Much light to all who are drawn to this place. You won’t regret it.

Spiritual Ceremony at Allkamari

This place is magic! Surrounded by mountains, the views from Illimani and Mururata. It is a powerful safe place where you can have the confort of the hotel and nice food (if not on a diet). Juan, the guide here is a knowledgeable young man with experience and good heart. You come not only to heal and connect with your self, but also to reinforce a bond with nature and to understand more about human reality and thespiritual world. I truly recommend this experience!

The hardest and most meaningful week of my life

I came to the retreat in order to come off antidepressants, and hopefully get some answers as to why I felt that I needed them in the first place, all of sixteen years ago.

As you can’t take ayahuasca while on antidepressants, I thought this was as good an excuse as any to kick the meds. So I started tapering off 2.5 weeks prior to our retreat. (With a LOT of help with the person I came with). By the time I got to the retreat, my battery was blinking “empty.” I was having nightmares, brain zaps, and terrible mood. I had no idea how I would handle this experience.

I met Juan (our shaman) in the afternoon of the first day, in the temple. I was terrified of ayahuasca. I was already depleted and had no mental strength for anything. But, somehow I knew I could trust that he was going to make sure I was okay. He was able to read how you felt and what you were going through. I felt safe.

After three ceremonies, a diet of about 400 calories per day, a temescal, I was completely broken, mentally and physically. I had given up control. I had given up everything. And I found peace in having nothing. The final ceremony pulled the remaining darkness out of me, and dissolved it. I don’t know exactly what the ceremonies did, but I know they impacted me in a way that my body and mind will never forget.

I left the ceremony with a calmness and confidence that I have more strength than I ever knew. I left knowing that I was okay.

I can’t stress enough how important it is to have a good shaman. This ceremony is sacred, and needs to be run by someone who is 100% devoted to serving the needs of others. Juan runs the retreat (not just the ceremonies, but every single detail of your day-to-day) with thought. The experience is customized to you, what you need, and what you can handle.

This is not a “tourist ayahuasca” retreat. This is real. It’s hard. You will be challenged, and you will come out the other side all-the-wiser, and stronger.

If you’re going to do ayahuasca, do it here.
