Retreat Treatment Plan
In addition to your own individualized plan, you will also have the opportunity to partake in the Retreat Treatment plan available for all participants (unless a pre-existing condition prevents you from being able to take a particular medicine.) Within this holistic treatment plan we cover multi-layered aspects of healing to give you a full reset, revitalization and revamp of the mind-body-spirit complex, leaving no stone unturned. This combined with your own individualized treatment plan makes for a powerful and effective healing combination of which you will be amazed by what can be achieved within a relatively short period of time! With all holistic and spiritual healing modalities, the more you put in the more you get out. The more faith, participation and willingness to heal on your side really goes a long way in the world of plant spirit healing. Of course, all treatments, ceremonies and activities are optional, although our experienced curanderos and facilitators will encourage motivate you to complete the treatment plan as much as possible! We all take and experience these medicines on a regular basis as part of our work within plant spirit healing. Therefore you can rest assured that we are experts in administering these medicines and guiding you through every step of the healing process.
Here is an outline of our retreat treatment plan, highlighting some of the illnesses and conditions that can are
treated with these medicines.
Shipibo Ayahuasca Ceremonies
Ayahuasca ceremonies are extremely powerful processes for mind, body, spirit and emotional healing. They can reprogram your whole way of being, thinking and experiencing life which may have taken years of other spiritual practices or therapy to achieve similar results. Ayahuasca lifts the veil of illusion beyond separation so that you may experience life with new perspectives and feel the unity of all creation. You may experience, bliss, beauty, unconditional love, unity, and other heightened and expansive spiritual states.
You may also have more difficult experiences such as the surfacing of repressed trauma and childhood memories and/or releasing pain and trapped emotions from the body, it is not always easy. We are here to guide you and look after you through every step of your journey for whatever may occur. You may have extrasensory experiences such as clairvoyance (visions), clairaudience (hearing), claircognicense (knowing), clairsentience (feeling) beyond your usual perception. You may encounter spirits that provide you with deep insights, guidance and knowings. You can heal deeply and profoundly, physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally within these ceremonies.
You may purge many energies and emotions that no longer serve you through the process of vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, shaking, crying or yawning, making space for your true essence to shine and divine life-path to unfold. These are just some of the things you may expect.
The Shipibo's are experts at Ayahuasca Ceremonies and Plant Spirit Healing. The curanderos call in many beings of light into the ceremony space to help the patients heal and hold a safe space for ceremony. These deep connections with their spiritual allies are what allow such profound healings to occur as they sing the Icaros (healing songs) to communicate with spirit to diagnose and heal patients through energetic transmissions and healing vibrations. It can truly be a magical experience that can help change your life infinitely for the the better.
