🌿 Shipibo Plant Medicine Retreats & Courses
💚 Ayahuasca & Master Plant Dietas
💥 Trauma-Informed Plant Medicine Trainings www.AYAHEALINGRETREATS.com

Aya Healing Retreats hosts transformative sacred plant medicine retreats in the spiritual homeland of the Shipibo people near the small port city of Pucallpa in the Peruvian Amazon. Our healing work is grounded in the sacred traditions of the indigenous Shipibo people and is facilitated by highly respected female and male curanderos who have been apprenticed in shamanism from a young age. We offer intimate 12 day retreats in the Amazon rainforest which are held at the breathtakingly beautiful Sui Sui Centre on Lake Cashibocacha. Our retreats invite participants to let go of limiting beliefs and buried wounding and to experience profound spiritual, emotional and physical healing and detoxification. Our small group sizes ensure that each guest receives the attention and care necessary for them to experience deep healing. Aya Healing Retreats recognises that indigenous wisdom offers a powerful, unique and holistic path to healing that is absent from the Western medical paradigm. We use Ayahuasca and various Master Plants, alongside massage, vapour and plant baths, workshops and post- retreat integration support to create a life-changing and traditional experience for our guests. Our MISSION is to:

-Facilitate profound spiritual, emotional and physical healing through sacred plant medicine.

-Provide expert education in shamanism and sacred plant medicine informed by the Shipibo tradition.

-Empower our guests to connect deeply with their intuition and to build a life-long relationship with the spiritual realms.

-Bridge the gap between indigenous Peruvian Shamanism and Western culture.

-Provide an exclusive once in a life-time experience deep within the heart of the Amazon rainforest. We are committed to using our newfound healing to effect positive change in the world. Aya Healing Retreats donates 10% of our profits to support the work of two remarkable NGO’s; Art to Healing and Alianza Arkana.

From serpents and jaguars to hummingbirds and eagles, animals frequently appear in accounts of Ayahuasca experiences. But what might they represent, and why do they appear in these visions?

In many spiritual perspectives, power animals are associated with symbolic meanings, inner qualities, and personal transformation. Depending on the tradition, they may represent strength, intuition, renewal, protection, or a connection with the natural world.

Within Shipibo-Konibo cosmology, animals are part of a broader worldview connecting humans, medicinal plants, nature, and the spiritual world. Beings such as Ronin, the great anaconda, hold a significant place in ancestral knowledge, art, and visionary traditions.

During Ayahuasca experiences, animal imagery may emerge alongside colors, patterns, landscapes, and other visions. For some people, these encounters become an opportunity to reflect on emotions, personal experiences, and the relationship between humans and the natural world.

Exploring these experiences offers a deeper perspective on the symbolism of animals and their place in the visionary world of plant medicine. 🌿

An icaro is a tool used in Shipibo-Konibo healing practice.

During an Ayahuasca ceremony, the healer uses icaros as part of their work with the person receiving the medicine. Within this tradition, the chants are understood to help guide the ceremonial process, direct the healer’s work, and establish a connection with the healing knowledge they have developed through training.

So, how does an icaro work?

The healer does not simply sing the same song from beginning to end. Depending on their training and the purpose of the chant, they may change the melody, rhythm, volume, or timing. Some icaros are accompanied by sopladas. The chant and these actions form part of the healer’s approach to each ceremony.

This knowledge is developed through years of learning and practice, often under the guidance of experienced teachers and through work with medicinal plants.

Learn more about icaros and the Shipibo-Konibo healing tradition with Maestro Don Miguel López at our final retreat of 2026 in Iquitos, Peru.

The Amazon is home to an extraordinary diversity of plants, many of which contain compounds that have attracted scientific interest for their biological and psychoactive properties.

Some have been studied for their potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, or immunomodulatory activity, while others have drawn attention for their effects on the brain and consciousness.

But a plant is more than the compounds it contains.

Scientific research can help us understand how certain compounds interact with the human body, while traditional knowledge reflects generations of experience with how these plants are prepared, used, and understood within a particular cultural context.

As interest in plant medicine continues to grow around the world, these perspectives are increasingly meeting in new spaces. This makes it important to look beyond the plant itself and recognize the people, knowledge, practices, and territories that have shaped our understanding of it.

If you would like to explore these traditions in person, we invite you to join us for one of our upcoming retreats in the Peruvian Amazon.

Also known as San Pedro, Huachuma is a cactus native to the Andes that contains mescaline, a naturally occurring psychedelic compound.

In traditional Andean medicine, Huachuma has been used in healing ceremonies and other ritual contexts. In northern Peru, curanderos have traditionally worked with the plant as part of ceremonies intended to enter an altered state of consciousness, observe the experience, and gain insight into a person’s condition.

The experience itself can involve significant changes in perception. People may report intensified colors, changes in light and depth, geometric patterns, visual distortions, altered perception of movement and time, and imagery with the eyes closed. The experience can vary considerably from one person to another.

So when we talk about a Huachuma experience, we are not simply talking about “seeing visions.” We are talking about a traditional ceremonial practice involving an altered state of consciousness and a different way of perceiving the experience around you.

We are now preparing for our first Huachuma Retreat in Iquitos, Peru.

Ayahuasca and Huachuma (San Pedro) come from different cultural and ecological contexts, each with its own history, ceremonial practices, and ways of relating to plant medicine.

This October, AYA Healing Retreats brings these two traditions together within a seven-day journey in the Peruvian Amazon, not as interchangeable medicines, but as distinct practices experienced in their own ceremonial spaces and rhythms.

The retreat includes two Ayahuasca ceremonies guided by Maestro Don Miguel, one Huachuma / San Pedro ceremony, as well as preparation, traditional practices, integration, and personal guidance throughout the journey.

Noya Rao, known as the “Tree of Light” and “Palo Volador,” is one of the rare and highly revered master plants within the Shipibo tradition.

As with other master plants in Shipibo plant knowledge, Noya Rao is approached through dieta, a period of intentional relationship with the plant, guided by experienced healers and supported by isolation, discipline, and ceremony. Through this process, the plant is understood as a teacher, revealing its knowledge in its own way and in its own time.

This October, we will gather in the Amazon to diet Noya Rao and connect with this ancestral Shipibo tradition through ceremony and immersion in the Peruvian Amazon.

A Master Plant Dieta is more than following a set of dietary restrictions. Within the Shipibo-Konibo tradition, it is a disciplined process of establishing a relationship with a specific master plant, guided by an experienced Maestro.

Before the dieta begins, the initial consultation is an important part of the process. It allows the Maestro to understand the person, their intention, and relevant physical, emotional, or personal circumstances. This information helps guide the way the dieta is approached and the support provided throughout the immersion.

Depending on the tradition and the individual process, different master plants may be worked with, each with its own place within Amazonian plant knowledge.

This is why working with master plants requires preparation, discipline, respect, and responsible guidance. The process is not designed as a one-size-fits-all experience.

At AYA, our upcoming immersions with Shipibo Maestro Don Miguel offer a space to experience this traditional process with dedicated guidance and care.

Today, I want to share a little of my journey with Noya Rao.

Known by the Shipibo as “El Camino de la Verdad” (The Path of Truth) and also revered as the Tree of Light, Noya Rao is one of the rarest Master Plants of the Amazon. She is traditionally associated with clarity, intuition, inner illumination, and a deeper connection to one’s authentic self. For many, her teachings invite honesty, presence, and the courage to express what has long remained hidden.

This is why we created Voice of Light: a retreat that brings together the sacred Master Plant Dieta with vocal expression, breathwork, chanting, and the healing power of your own voice.

It has been an honor to witness so many people reconnect with themselves through this work, and my hope is that even more people feel called to begin this journey with Noya Rao.

Our final Voice of Light retreat of 2026 will take place October 4–14, guided by Maestra Olinda.

If this message resonates with you, comment “NOYA RAO”, and we’ll send you all the information about the retreat. ✨

What was once held sacred within Shipibo tradition is now offered everywhere — sometimes with deep care, sometimes without any at all. And that difference isn't small. It's the line between a ceremony that changes your life, and one that leaves you with a bad experience.

This is a conversation worth having, especially for those considering their first ceremony. Because when this medicine is held the way it was meant to be held — with real screening, trained guidance, and respect for where it comes from — the results are real, and they last. Science has taken a real interest in this medicine too, studying it under increasingly rigorous safety standards — so today, we don't just rely on tradition, we have research backing it.

With deep respect for the Shipibo lineage and the ancestral tradition behind this medicine, we invite you to our next 11-day retreat in
