The dates for our June retreat were intentionally selected to align with the powerful Solstice portal, making this an extra special time for one to sit with the sacred Medicine of Ayahuasca.
What’s special about the Solstice?
- It marks a time of new beginnings, expansion, and abundance.
- It’s a powerful time for healing as the sun is at the height of its potency.
- It reminds us of nature’s cycles and the importance of living harmoniously with the Earth.
- It is a time to shed old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you.
- The sun’s energy on the summer Solstice can help you connect with your higher self, nourish your soul, and amplify your intentions.
- The energy of the Solstice sun encourages you to open to connect to your creativity
- The Solstice is a time to celebrate the power and abundance of the sun – a symbol of light, warmth, and growth. It is a metaphor for our own internal sun.
Join us and embark on this Solstice journey to connect with the sacred medicine of the jungle, Ayahuasca, which will guide you with love as you explore your inner self.
Not only can you explore and face your darkness, but it’s also an opportunity to connect to your gifts and the light that also exists within you.
Understanding the Sacred Medicine of Ayahuasca
Ayahuasca, the sacred medicine from the jungle, allows you to look at your own darkness with love, healing wounds from compassion, and showing you that you are also radiant and infinite light.
Ayahuasca is an indigenous medicine that allows you to enter your own inner nature and discover what is in you, through a deep introspection in which the senses are sharpened and you can feel your soul guiding you to observe the traumas, wounds, attachments, fears, etc., that have remained stagnant in your emotions, thoughts, feelings and sensations.
Ayahuasca takes you to the origin of the wound to untie it, learn from it, and move forward. You always return from the journey accompanied by the love of God and Pachamama, the infinite love of mother life, and of all the beings who love you, but especially valuing yourself and feeling your own love.
Over the course of six days, you will experience:
- Reclaiming & learning how to relate to the sacred.
- Strengthening your connection with nature.
- Self-knowledge: seeing the wounds, but also the gifts and potential.
- Knowing oneself in all 4 bodies: what I think, what I feel, what I do, what I say.
- A deep cleansing of the body, mind, emotions, and spirit.
- Resetting your central nervous system.
- Healing wounds and traumas from the past.
- Self-love and forgiveness.
- Reconfiguration of the body’s natural cycles and rhythms.
- Awakening your creativity and spontaneity.
The retreat center we’ll call home for these six days is a whimsical meditation center with lots of natural construction surrounded by incredible views of Ecuador’s majestic mountains, including the famous Cotopaxi volcano.
The lush green property is home to medicinal plant gardens, trees, vibrant flowers, birds, and fish. Its peaceful vibe makes it the perfect setting to turn inward and connect to yourself while reconnecting with the power of nature surrounding you.
What’s Included:
In addition to 2 Ayahuasca ceremonies with complementary medicines, music, and aromatherapy, you will participate in activities that take you deeper into the process of connecting to yourself, releasing that which no longer serves you, and calling in what does.
You will receive flower essences specially prepared to align your emotional body with your intention, participate in BioEnergetics to move energy that is blocked in the body and experience a “walk of power” in one of Ecuador’s beautiful national parks.
We will visit and cleanse ourselves in waterfalls, and receive additional support for our cleansing process with plant baths that are prepared with a combination of plant allies that clear both formal and informal black magic. You can think of the cleansing bath as a thorough sweep of your energetic body.
We will engage in activities to support our flourishing, such as creating altars to honor the Solstice, having an offering ceremony to recover vital life-force, balance our energy of giving and receiving, and cleanse karma. You will receive another plant bath for flourishing, with a combination of plant allies that serve to call in abundance and blessings.
All of the logistics such as transportation, lodging, and food are included throughout the retreat as well, so you can focus the entirety of your energy on you.
Your journey of self-discovery and healing will be guided by an experienced team of facilitators who will be with you every step of the way, and are there to help with anything that you may need. It is a safe space, with a small and intimate group, where all will be able to learn from eachother, share their gifts, and experience what it is like to heal and live in community while we embark on this transformative journey.
