6 Day Ayahuasca Retreat with Yoga in Yucatán

Facilities

Temazcal and yoga

During your stay, you will have an incredible opportunity to partake not only in sacred Ayahuasca ceremonies but also explore an ancient tradition of herbal sauna, Temazcal.

The healers will collect herbs from the forest so you can pass this ancient ritual of physical and spiritual cleansing before ceremonies with Ayahuasca.

Your journey will be complemented with yoga sessions and morning meditations to relax your mind and make your Ayahuasca experience even more fulfilling.

Every day you will have the opportunity to practice yoga with the yoga instructor. Classes will be held outside to strengthen both the spirit and the body. And of course - for your pleasure.

All ceremonies and yoga classes are optional and if you don't want to participate, it is your choice. APL Shamanic Journeys' duty is to provide as much information as possible regarding each ceremony and maintain safe and professional approach. The final decision is always yours.

The yoga classes are mostly concentrated on meditation and stretching, to relax your body and calm your mind. They are suitable for all levels.

Ayahuasca educational program

On the retreats, APL Shamanic Journeys will make 2 seminars about vital parts of Amazonian shamanism:

• Dieting with Master-Plants as an essential part of sacred healing and the path of becoming a shaman
• Spirits and mystical beings in Amazonia and its real representation in ceremonies and shamanic experience

The shaman and facilitators will share their knowledge of traditional curanderism and will answer all your questions. It will allow you not only to participate in ceremonies but understand your experience and integrate it into your life.

Ayahuasca ceremonies

3 ceremonies will be held only and personally by the Peruvian shaman of the retreat adhering to all the traditional rules of Amazonian shamanism. On this day, you will be provided with two meals a day (without dinner) and a quiet meditative atmosphere for better passage of the ritual.

Kambo ceremony

This ancient medicine, according to the giving, was presented to the shaman by the spirit of Ayahuasca itself and is traditionally used both for the treatment of yellow fever, malaria, and other diseases and for cleaning the body, refilling physical, emotional forces, and increasing sexual energy. In addition, it is believed that Kambo accelerates the streak of failure and opens the way for good energy bringing to life the wonderful, long-awaited changes for the better.

Group discussion and integration

Every day before and after ceremonies, a "round table" will be organised where everyone can share their feelings, adventures during ceremonies, and receive comments and explanations from the shaman. This is a very important phase for correct understanding of the experience gained.

Rapé and Sanango ceremonies

• Rapé is a traditional herbal mix blend for cleansing respiratory system and meditating energy
• Sanango eye drops for cleansing eyes and mental process

Individual consultations

You will discuss your experience and get an explanation directly from the shaman. This is a vital part when the shaman can share with your his enormous experience with plant medicine and help you to integrate your journey in a right way. Perhaps, even advise you any furthest steps to fulfill your intentions.

Life time Ayahuasca integration

APL Shamanic Journeys pays a lot of attention to the integration process of your experience as one of the vital parts of your journey with plant medicine. Before and after each ceremony they make group and private discussions with great respect to your privacy. It helps them and yourself to understand your experience deeper and form the right intention for the next ceremony. What is even more important, these discussions are an essential tool for the understanding of the way to integrate your experience into everyday life after the retreat.

For this purpose APL Shamanic Journeys have chat groups with the participants and facilitators where you can discuss your experience not only before the retreat as well as after and get support from everyone. They continue to keep contact with all past groups and the support is for a lifetime. Once you join their retreat you are always welcome as their friend and a member of the APL family.
