SPIRITUAL SHAMANIC RETREATS
TO AWAKE THE POWER WITHIN
These events consist of 5, 9 days.
Why do an ayahuasca retreat?
We have many plants to feed the body on this
planet, but we know little of the ones to nourish the spirit. Ayahuasca
opens up a realm of consciousness in which the drinker can reach the
deep roots of their personal issues as well as obtain a more ample
perspectives on life itself.
You can benefit from safe infrastructure and experienced guidance in a
retreat. Nine days in which you can purely concentrate on your
spiritual work with the teacher plant. In this way, attendants can
immerse themselves into deeper spheres than usually accessible in one
night ceremonies.
What is the setup of the course?
Retreats takes place twenty kilometers outside of Salto, a small city in Uruguay, just on
the border with Argentina. Salto can be reached quite easily by bus from Buenos Aires
(6h30) and Montevideo (5h30).
The place is surrounded by forest and water. This is not a typical
jungle retreat though. Similarly, our director and shaman is a modern
person, driving a car, using a sound system for his ceremonies, taking
advantage of his knowledge of eastern as well as indigenous traditions
and so forth. We combine meditation techniques with drinking ayahuasca,
while not all techniques and not all days involve its intake.
Accommodation and vegetarian food are included. The exclusive retreats will be held
in silence among practitioners.
We share some exercises and dynamics that are incorporated according to the characteristics of each retreat:
MANDALAS WORKSHOP:
These are workshops that spread over a period of three days in which states of the previous day’s experience in ceremony are expressed. They add up to the whole group’s experiences.
EXERCISE WITH THE GRANDMOTHER STONES:
Those are moments of great attention where the cerebral hemispheres are active. Result is a very helpful concentration for the subsequent intake of ayahuasca. This helps us to achieve objectives posed for everyday life, too.
EXERCISING THE BALANCE:
These concentration exercises allow us to develop balance and alignment of goals and objectives to achieve in the course of our life.
GUIDED MEDITATIONS:
Every morning meditations are held with the primary objective of affirming experiences and arranging them on our Mental-Emotional-Spiritual map.
PATH OF THE SENSES:
Blindfolded walks accompanied by a guide who leads us and in which we must find our way without any dialogue but our body language. Experience how the vision conditions and limits us, for once letting the other senses guide our movement and actions.
PATH FOR THE VISION:
This ceremonial exercise is very individual in that the applicant exposes their personal need to know their sacred purpose. The meaning of their search will be evaluated so that the ceremonial exercise can really be of most help and benefit for the unfolding of their life.
EXPONENTIAL WORKSHOPS:
These workshops are conducted according to the course of the retreat. Everyone offers their experience of last night’s ceremony. It aims to create an exponential personal space without altering anything or giving cognitive interpretations.
