10 Day Ayahuasca & Bobinsana Retreat in Peru
A deep 10 day Ayahuasca and Bobinsana retreat in Peru combining four Ayahuasca ceremonies and one dedicated Bobinsana ceremony — guided by native Amazonian shamans and supported by on-site professional psychotherapy and integration.
A Deeper Healing Process
The 10 Day Ayahuasca Retreat Peru — A Deeper Healing Process
The 10-day Ayahuasca and Bobinsana retreat at Takinuna Healing Centre offers a deeper space to engage with the healing work of Amazonian plant medicine.
Within this extended period of time, participants take part in four Ayahuasca ceremonies, a Bobinsana ceremony, traditional plant treatments, and therapeutic integration spaces that support the unfolding of the plant medicine process.
A Gradual and Supported Healing Process
In the Amazonian tradition, healing with plant medicine is understood as a gradual process. With more days dedicated to the work, participants have more time to remain present with what emerges, allowing the process to deepen and integrate more naturally.
Guided by experienced Amazonian shamans and supported by psychological integration, the retreat creates a respectful and carefully held environment where the work with the medicine can unfold with presence, care, and guidance.
A Deeper Step in the Healing Process
For many people, the call to work with plant medicine arises when something in life asks for deeper understanding, healing, or reconnection.
The 10-day retreat offers additional time to explore this process with support and guidance. As the ceremonial work unfolds, participants often begin to encounter emotional material, personal insights, or movements within their inner world that benefit from continued space and integration.
With more time available for the process, participants can remain present with what emerges, allowing the work with the medicine to deepen and integrate more naturally.
This retreat allows space to:
- deepen the relationship with the medicine
- receive continued guidance from the shamans
- explore emotional and personal healing processes
- integrate insights with greater time and reflection
The retreat offers a carefully held space where the healing process can deepen gradually, supported through ceremony, guidance, and integration.
Ayahuasca Ceremonies
Ayahuasca ceremonies are the space where the medicine begins to reveal the work that each person is being invited to engage with during the retreat.
During the ceremonies, participants gather in the maloca, the ceremonial space where the work with the medicine takes place. Throughout the night, the shamans guide and protect the process, holding the space with attentive presence and traditional knowledge.
The Role of the Shamans
The shamans work primarily through icaros , the healing songs of the Amazonian tradition. These songs guide the movement of the medicine, help regulate the energetic field of the ceremony, and support the individual processes of the participants.
During the ceremony, the shamans remain attentive to the space and to each person’s process. At times they may approach participants to carry out check-ups or energetic treatments, offering support when the process requires it.
Their role is to care for the ceremonial space and accompany the healing process, helping participants navigate both moments of clarity and moments that may feel challenging.
The Individual Healing Process
Each ceremony unfolds differently. For some participants the medicine may bring insight and reflection, while for others it may allow emotional release or deeper inner work. In all cases, the presence of the shamans helps ensure that the process is held with care, protection, and guidance.
The Medicine of Bobinsana
This retreat also includes work with Bobinsana, a traditional Amazonian master plant known for its connection to emotional healing and the heart.
In the Amazonian tradition, Bobinsana is often associated with qualities such as emotional openness, compassion, and reconnection with one’s inner sensitivity. While Ayahuasca may bring vision, insight, or clarity about the healing process, Bobinsana often supports the emotional integration of these experiences.
Participants work with Bobinsana in ceremony, where the plant is approached with the same respect and care given to other master plants within the tradition.
Emotional and Heart-Centered Healing
Many people experience Bobinsana as a medicine that works gently but deeply, helping soften emotional defenses and allowing feelings that may have been held or protected for a long time to be approached with greater openness.
In this way, the work with Ayahuasca and Bobinsana can complement each other: Ayahuasca often reveals aspects of the healing process, while Bobinsana supports the emotional integration and heart-centered dimension of that work.
Preparation of the Medicine
Traditional Preparation of the Medicine
For this retreat, the Ayahuasca is prepared together with Bobinsana, following a traditional Amazonian practice in which different medicinal plants are sometimes cooked together to support specific healing processes.
The Role of Bobinsana in the Preparation
The Ayahuasca brew continues to be prepared from the same traditional base plants. The addition of Bobinsana does not replace the medicine, but accompanies it, bringing the qualities of this master plant into the ceremonial work.
Within the tradition, combining plants in this way allows the medicine to carry different dimensions of support. While Ayahuasca often reveals the aspects of the healing process that require attention, Bobinsana is traditionally associated with the emotional and heart-centered dimension of healing.
For this reason, some people experience the combination as a more complete and balanced medicine, where insight and emotional openness can work together within the same process.
This preparation follows traditional knowledge and is approached with care and respect, allowing the qualities of both plants to accompany the retreat from the beginning of the process.
Psychological Integration
At Takinuna Healing Centre, the healing process is supported through a multidisciplinary approach that brings together traditional Amazonian medicine and therapeutic integration.
While the ceremonies often reveal important aspects of the healing process, time and support are often needed to reflect on and integrate these experiences.
For this reason, participants are invited to take part in integration sessions guided by a professional psychologist after each ceremony.
Integration After the Ceremonies
These spaces offer an opportunity to:
- reflect on what may have emerged during the ceremony
- share personal insights and experiences
- receive support in understanding emotional processes
- begin integrating the experience into everyday life
Art therapy
In addition, art therapy sessions provide a creative and non-verbal way of exploring the process. Through drawing and symbolic expression, participants may connect with aspects of their experience that can sometimes be difficult to express through words alone.
By bringing together ceremonial work and therapeutic integration, the retreat supports participants in gently weaving the insights of the medicine into their personal process of healing.
