Why Choose a Private Ayahuasca Retreat
A private Ayahuasca retreat offers an intimate and deeply personalized path into healing, transformation, and spiritual remembrance. In this one-on-one or small group setting, the entire container is designed around your unique process—honoring your pace, your needs, and your intentions.
While group ceremonies can offer powerful insight, there are times when the soul needs solitude—when healing requires deeper safety, privacy, and surrender. In private Ayahuasca retreats, you’re free to release without the presence or energy of others. You don’t need to manage your experience, filter your emotions, or hold space for anyone else. The ceremony becomes entirely yours—attuned to your energy, your story, and your healing.
This sacred space allows for a level of vulnerability and depth that often isn’t accessible in group settings. For many, especially those navigating grief, trauma, or major life transitions, this kind of individualized support is not just helpful—it’s essential.
Whether you are coming alone or with a trusted partner or close friend, a private retreat gives you the freedom to choose your timing, the length of your stay, and the number of ceremonies you wish to experience. Each aspect of your journey is approached with reverence and intention, offering the rare opportunity to be held in a space that is fully devoted to your awakening.
Private Ayahuasca retreats are more than just personalized—they are sacred vessels for true rebirth.

What to Expect from a Private Ayahuasca Retreat
Whether you are seeking healing, self-discovery, or clarity for a new chapter of life, our private ayahuasca retreats are designed to meet you exactly where you are. Each retreat is a sacred, personalized container—an invitation to explore your intention with full presence, privacy, and support.
Your journey begins long before you arrive in Ecuador. Once you commit to the process, we begin working closely together with one-on-one guidance. This includes an introductory call, a thorough medical review, and a dedicated session to clarify your intention. You’ll also receive a comprehensive preparation guide—covering physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual preparation—so you feel grounded and held from the very beginning.
We typically suggest a format of 3–4 ceremonies, allowing you to move deeper with each step, although this is fully customizable. Some guests may benefit from just two ceremonies, while others may wish to journey further. Everything is attuned to your intention, history, and needs.
In addition to the ceremonies, you’ll receive plant baths, flower essence support when appropriate, and guided somatic practices such as bioenergetics, chakra breathing, or dynamic meditation. In some cases, we may also recommend additional modalities—like Kambo for physical detox, family constellations for ancestral healing, or a therapeutic visit to mineral-rich hot springs.
Ceremonies take place in sacred natural surroundings—indoors or outdoors—depending on your energy and the spirit of the work. You’ll stay in a private room with nourishing, home-cooked meals made from local, organic ingredients. Meals are designed to support your process: lighter on ceremony days, heartier on integration days.
To ensure your full presence is available for the journey itself, we take care of all logistics for you. From airport pickup and drop-off to lodging, daily meals, and curated activities, everything is thoughtfully arranged—so all of your energy can stay focused on your healing.
Each retreat includes integration practices after ceremony—such as therapy of synchronicity, sharing circles, and guided reflection. Continued integration support post-retreat is available as an optional add-on, and we can offer referrals when deeper support is needed.
We hold each retreat with reverence, care, and devotion—so that all of your energy can be focused on what matters most: you.
