Shamanic Ayahuasca Workshops

Featured in National Geographic Adventure Magazine, on the National Geographic Channel and in The New York Times
 

Shamanic Workshop / Retreat: The Shamanic Workshop / Retreat helps guests achieve spiritual transformation through jungle shamanism, mysticism, and personal experience. Guests participate in shamanic ceremonies with local shamans (curanderos ayahuasqueros) in which they have the opportunity to drink the sacred visionary plant Ayahuasca (also known as Yage).

Through personal experience, the world of Spirit is unveiled providing transformation and personal growth. The individual attention that each person receives creates an atmosphere of caring and unconditional love as they progress on their spiritual path.

The ceremonies, which include the ingestion of the sacred visionary teacher plant Ayahuasca or Yage, open the consciousness of the participant and unveil the spirtual world. This powerful and sacred medicine cleanses the body and spirit. In ceremony, the shaman (curandero) sings icaros (medicine songs) and plays the shacapa (a leaf instrument) to call in the spirits that will help the participant achieve personal transformation.

Shamanism Workshop Activity and Ceremony List:
  • Ayahuasca Ceremonies with Master Shaman Don Alberto Torres Davila: Experience the mystery and transformational power of sacred traditional rituals including the use of sacred visionary medicinal plants. The ceremony of Ayahuasca will purify and teach the guest through journeys into the realm of Spirit.
  • Discussion of Universal Spirituality: Universal spiritual understanding brings resolution to psychological issues. As Universal awakening occurs your, very understanding of the universe will be redefined. These discussions help gueststo gain deeper knowledge of the powerful energetic changes they are experiencing.
  • Discussion and Identification of Medicinal Plants: Learn about the amazing properties of the indigenous flora. The Amazon is home to thousands of medicinal plants used by the locals to cure many illnesses ranging from headaches to cancer.
  • Shamanic Dieting: The shamanic diet is the means of apprenticing in the jungle. By going through a series of purifications that involve limiting the ingestion of certain foods during the agreed upon duration of the diet, the apprentice shaman learn directly from the medicinal plants being studied. That plant medicine is ingested at the beginning of the diet and then meditated on throughout the diet. In the dream space the doctor spirits visit and pass on timeless healing knowledge.
  • Shamanic Journey Practice: Experience out-of-body journeys to connect with power animals, spirit guides, and guardian angels. Harness their powerful healing capabilities to transform ordinary reality into magical living. These are performed during Ayahuasca ceremonies.
  • Soul Retrievals: Reconnect lost or separated soul parts through the use of the shamanic journey. Restore the balance of the subtle energetic body as past traumas are released and forgiveness replenishes the soul and life forces. These are performed during Ayahuasca ceremonies.

Group Workshop / Retreats: These group workshops are designed to illuminate the reality of Amazonian shamanism in a sacred and ceremonial setting. As we journey into the depths of the Amazon rain forest, we hold the intent of spiritual transformation and learning through our work during these magical days. All of the activities listed above will be available. This will be a time to not only benefit from the shamanism techniques utilized during the workshop, but to learn how to use them as well.
