"When you heal yourself and assist others with their self-healing, you heal the earth. You do make a difference!" A quote by Laurel Steinhice, Channeling the Earth Mother.

Understanding Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation, which promotes healing as well. It is a form of hands-on healing used to cleanse, balance, and heal while invigorating the mind, body, and soul. You’ll discover how to balance your chakras with Reiki. For those of you who have never received a Reiki treatment, it is a wonderfully relaxing and nurturing experience. A typical Reiki session typically lasts one hour.

Reiki is not taught in the usual sense; it cannot be learned from a book or self-taught but is transferred by the Reiki master to the student through the attunement or initiation (attune means harmony, and initiate means ceremony) process via a simple ceremony which is repeated at intervals over the course of the retreat.

What to expect

This is not just a Reiki course, this is the start of a very special journey. During the retreat, you will receive four initiations or attunements that literally "attune" you to the higher energy of Reiki to empower yourself as a conduit for channeling life-force energy for both yourself and others. Each Reiki attunement is a relaxing and beneficial experience.

The Reiki system of channeling universal vital energy is characterized by its simplicity. It is easy to learn and easy to practice. Currently, Reiki is practiced by millions of people around the world for its great benefits. Reiki can be performed in different ways. The receiver of Reiki can lie on a massage table, on a mattress, on the floor or sit in a chair. The receiver remains dressed during a Reiki session.

The energy of life

A Reiki practitioner, by using gentle touch can increase the life force energy that will facilitate healing and relaxation. The practitioner will act as a channel for the healing energy to flow through to the receiver. Although traditional Reiki involves "hands-on" healing, if you are uncomfortable with healing touch, energy can effectively be sent into the aura from an appropriate distance.

There is an emphasis on practical experience throughout the retreat, as it is important that you develop your own individual skills and knowledge of Reiki. During the course, you will learn the hand positions for self-healing, as well as for treating others. One of the wonderful things about Reiki is that it starts with taking care of and appreciating yourself.

You will also learn to practice Reiki on plants, animals, the environment, and situations. You will receive two Reiki treatments, you will practice two guided auto-treatments, and you will give three Reiki treatments. Alongside Reiki attunements and training you will learn about the chakra system and more. You will leave this retreat a Reiki enthusiast.

Come spend quality time with us here at Tambo Ilusion where time is not measured by clocks but by moments.

Tambo Ilusion Wellness Retreat Center is very well located and is easily accessible. It is located less than 20 minutes away from the local airport and 15 minutes from the center of Tarapoto city, yet, when one enters the property, one feels totally immersed in nature.

As seen in National Geographic Traveller, Tambo Ilusion is a beautiful nature reserve of 14 hectares (34.6 acres) recognized by the Ministry of Environment of Peru as a Private Conservation Area (ACP). Tambo Ilusion is located in the rural area of Tarapoto, situated in the San Martin region of Peru (in the Amazon rainforest) where the Andes meet the Amazon offering spectacular views!

Tarapoto is the main gateway to the northeastern jungle of Peru, at an altitude of 356 meters above sea level, and it is located in the San Martin province of the San Martin region, midway between the high jungle and the Amazon plains. Tarapoto is linked to the Upper Amazon and the historic city of Yurimaguas by a relatively well-maintained newly paved (2008-2009) "Trans-Andean" highway.

Tarapoto is the main tourist hub of this part of Peru, and it is often used as a "jump off" point for excursions into the vast Amazon rainforest where diversity in species reaches its maximum expression, such as in Tingana and Pacaya Samiria national reserve, and for tours of the north east of Peru, including the Chachapoyas culture in Amazonas with its fascinating but not well known archaeology and history, the Gran Vilaya ruins, and the Kuelap fortress (the Machu Picchu of the north). Furthermore, beautiful landscapes, amazing waterfalls, lagoons, orchids, adventure tourism such as river rafting and hiking in the tropical Andes, as well as bird watching attract numerous visitors to this area. Tambo Ilusion is located in the Banda de Shilcayo district which is at the eastern limit of Tarapoto city. It is near the waterfalls of Ahuashiyacu, a main attraction of the area.

Wholesome vegetarian meals are prepared three times daily. Meals are shared in Tambo Ilusion's house family style. Fruits and vegetables are fresh and seasonal. Some of the fruit come from their own trees (citrus, papayas, mangoes, bananas, star fruit, etc.). Special dietary needs can be accommodated with advanced notice.
