My name is Florentin, and I’ve spent years exploring the healing powers of Ayahuasca and other sacred Peruvian medicines. My journey has inspired me to create a space where others can safely experience this powerful medicine in a supportive, authentic environment. Our team consists of experienced facilitators, local healers, and guides who are passionate about offering a transformative retreat that blends tradition with safety and care.
Our vision is to establish a retreat center in the heart of Peru, where people from all walks of life can come to heal, connect with themselves, and experience profound personal growth. We are committed to making sure everyone who visits feels safe, supported, and respected throughout their journey.
The money we raise will go toward securing a beautiful and serene location, building safe and comfortable facilities, and ensuring that our healers and staff are well-compensated for their expertise and care. We also aim to create affordable retreat options so that more people can access the benefits of Ayahuasca.
With your help, we can create a retreat where people can come together to heal, grow, and experience the magic of Peru’s sacred medicine in a safe and welcoming space.
At our Ayahuasca retreat in Peru, we aim to provide a safe, transformative, and nurturing environment where participants can embark on a deep healing journey. Nestled in the heart of the Peruvian jungle, the retreat will be designed to help guests connect with nature, themselves, and the powerful sacred medicine of Ayahuasca.
Services and Offerings:
-Ayahuasca Ceremonies
Led by experienced and trusted local shamans, our Ayahuasca ceremonies are conducted with the highest respect for the tradition and its sacredness. Each ceremony is held in a safe, sacred space with small groups to ensure personalized attention and guidance.
-Integration Support
Healing doesn’t stop at the ceremony. We offer integration workshops and one-on-one sessions to help participants process their experiences and apply insights into their daily lives. Our team of facilitators will guide you in making sense of your journey and support your long-term healing.
-Comfortable Accommodations
Our retreat center offers rustic yet comfortable accommodations that allow you to relax and feel at home in the jungle. Private and shared rooms will be available, each designed to create a peaceful, restful space during your stay.
-Meditation & Yoga
To complement the Ayahuasca experience, we offer daily yoga and meditation sessions. These practices help balance the body and mind, preparing participants for their inner journey and assisting in post-ceremony integration.
-Sacred Plant Medicines
In addition to Ayahuasca, participants can choose to work with other traditional Peruvian plant medicines, such as San Pedro and Rapé, which will be available under the guidance of skilled practitioners.
-Healthy, Nourishing Meals
We understand the importance of diet in the healing process. Our retreat will provide meals that are carefully prepared in accordance with traditional Ayahuasca diets, using organic, locally-sourced ingredients that nourish the body and soul.
-Cultural Immersion
Our retreat is also an opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of Peru. From guided jungle walks to traditional ceremonies and crafts, guests can explore the wisdom of local traditions and their deep connection to the land.
-Personalised Healing Programs
Each participant will have the opportunity to work with our team to create a personalized healing program, tailored to their specific needs and goals. Whether you’re seeking emotional healing, spiritual awakening, or simply looking to reconnect with yourself, our programs are designed to guide you on your unique journey."
This ensures a holistic experience, combining ancient wisdom with modern practices to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Building an Ayahuasca retreat in Peru involves various factors, such as the cost of land, construction materials, staffing, and other operational needs. Here's a rough breakdown of potential costs.
Land Acquisition:
Depending on the location (near the jungle or rural areas), land can range from £10,000 to £50,000 for a few hectares in Peru. Jungle land tends to be more affordable, but you may need more investment in infrastructure.
Building and Infrastructure:
Constructing eco-friendly and comfortable accommodations (such as bungalows, malocas for ceremonies, communal areas, kitchens, etc.) will vary based on size and materials. For a medium-sized retreat:
- Buildings (housing, common areas, bathrooms): £50,000 to £100,000
- Utilities and Infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage): £20,000 to £40,000
Licenses and Legal Fees:
Permits for land use, building, and operation could cost around £3,000 to £10,000, depending on the complexity of your project and local regulations.
Staffing and Compensation:
we’ll need to hire local shamans, facilitators, cooks, maintenance, and security. Estimating wages for a year for a core team of 10-15 people:
- £20,000 to £40,000 annually
Operational Equipment and Furnishing:
For items like bedding, ceremony tools, kitchen equipment, etc.:
- £10,000 to £20,000
Marketing, Legal, and Administrative Costs:
Initial marketing, website creation, and legal counsel could range from £5,000 to £15,000.
Total Estimated Cost:
In total, to build a medium-sized Ayahuasca retreat, we’re looking at an initial investment of £120,000 to £250,000.
