Program
This deep-immersion Ayahuasca retreat includes more than one Ayahuasca ceremony and other practices that enhance the healing and growth process. All activities are completely legal in Guatemala. The medicines Santuario Tonkiri imports from the Amazon are brought in under customs declaration. The medicines are administered as part of a treatment that must be adapted to the individuals who come seeking healing. To give you an example regarding the widely known Ayahuasca, many people believe that all participants in a ceremony must take an amount that causes them to have strong visions, but this is not the case. They welcome people to ceremonies who sometimes do not take Ayahuasca, or take very small amounts, just to connect with the power of the ikaros (medicinal songs).
Main practices
You can choose one of the activities below to participate in on the non-Ayahuasca day.
- Temazcal ritual (Sweat lodge)
- Maya fire ceremony and Maya cross reading
- Private yoga class (Ashtanga, Hatha, or Vinyasa)

About the retreat
Three disciplines you practice here are carriers of lineage, each in their respective traditions.
1. Amazonian medicine
The hosts are bearers of two bloodlines or lineages of many generations, Shipiba and Mestizo. They have been practitioners of the “Master Plant Dietas” for almost two decades, receiving teachings from their masters and the plants' spirits with enormous powers as Ajoskiro and Ayahuma, and enlightening, loving energies as El Noya Rao and Bobinsana.
2. Maya cosmology
They also serve your growth and self-realization through Mayan cosmology, having received “vara,” that is, being bearers of knowledge from a line of Mayan Quiché wisdom that has been safeguarded for hundreds of years.
3. Yoga
The yoga practice (Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Hatha, or Restorative) also respects the discipline of “Parampara” established at the beginning of Vinyasa Ashtanga Yoga by Pathabi Jois, a disciple of Krishnamacharya, founder of the yoga lineage you know today. The teacher is therefore certified by KPJAYI.
Retreat location
The retreat will take place in Alotenango, Sacatepéquez, Guatemala.
