A 7-day process with Amazonian plant medicine, supported by integration and guided care.
A Space Where Ceremony, Integration, and Rest Come Together
Working with Amazonian plant medicine often unfolds through a process that requires presence, care, and time for integration.
Within the rhythm of ceremony, rest, and reflection, the 7-day retreat offers a contained and supportive space where participants can enter this work in a grounded way.
Who This Retreat May Support
For some, this retreat represents a first encounter with the medicine. For others, it can be an opportunity to reconnect with the work within a focused and intentional period of time.
This retreat may be especially appropriate for:
- People who feel called to explore the work with plant medicine within a contained period of time
- Individuals who wish to open or continue a personal healing process
- Those who value the combination of traditional ceremony and therapeutic integration
Ceremonial Work Guided by the Shamans
During the retreat, the work with plant medicine unfolds through traditional ceremonies and plant treatments that support cleansing, balance, and integration.
Participants take part in:
- 3 Ayahuasca ceremonies
- plant baths for energetic cleansing and physical balance
- Mapacho treatments offered within the traditional practice
- Additional plant-based treatments when appropriate
Each ceremony is guided by experienced Amazonian shamans, who work through icaros and their traditional knowledge while also carrying out energetic treatments according to what each person may need.
Throughout the night, they remain attentive to the space and to the individual processes that unfold, offering support when needed.
Their role is not only to guide the ceremony, but to care for the space and safeguard the process.
Preparing the Medicine According to Amazonian Tradition
The Ayahuasca used during the ceremonies is prepared following traditional Amazonian practices. The plants are cooked slowly over fire, in a process that requires attention, patience, and knowledge passed down through generations.
At Takinuna Healing Centre, the medicine is prepared shortly before the retreat begins, ensuring that it remains fresh for the ceremonial work.
This preparation is approached with respect, as part of the relationship between the healers, the plants, and the work that unfolds during the ceremonies.
Integration Sessions
At Takinuna Healing Centre, the work with plant medicine is understood as extending beyond the ceremonies. What emerges during the night often continues unfolding in the hours and days that follow.
For this reason, after each ceremony, participants are invited to take part in integration sessions guided by a professional psychologist.
What May Be Explored in Integration Sessions
- reflecting on what was lived during the ceremonies
- sharing what may have emerged
- exploring emotional or personal insights
- beginning to integrate the experience into everyday life
The intention is to support each person in finding their own understanding.
Art Therapy and Creative Integration
Art therapy offers a creative way to explore the process beyond words. Through drawing and symbolic expression, participants may connect more directly with their experience.
Ceremony and integration are held together as part of the same process, allowing the experience to unfold over time.
Before, During, and After the Retreat
Working with plant medicine often begins before the ceremonies themselves. Preparation, intention, and understanding the process can support participants in arriving with greater clarity and openness.
At Takinuna Healing Centre, this preparation is accompanied through materials developed by our psychologist, offering guidance before, during, and after the retreat.
These materials support reflection, orientation, and integration throughout the process, allowing each person to engage with their experience in a more grounded and conscious way.
For many people, the process continues unfolding after returning home. For this reason, this support extends beyond the retreat, helping participants remain connected to what has been lived and to the insights that may continue to emerge over time.
