Our Ayahuasca retreats in Ecuador are offered in both small group settings and private, individually guided experiences.
​
Throughout the year, we hold a number of group retreats in the Ecuadorian Andes, where participants come together for ceremony, learning, and deep connection with nature.
​
We also welcome guests year-round at our home in the mountains near Quito, about one hour from the international airport. Here we offer ceremonies and personalized retreats in a more intimate setting. Some people join for a few days for a single overnight ceremony, while others stay longer for a deeper, individually guided healing process with integration and personal support.
