Transformational Plant Medicine Retreats Bridging the Indigenous Lineage of Shipibo Ayahuasca Shamanism with Eastern Practices and Healing Modalities

Our next available ayahuasca retreat is from October 5th-12th in the stunning Peruvian Amazon rainforest with two spaces remaining.

View our full list of retreat dates and location options below.

Intertwining Medicines offers a variety of trauma-sensitive ayahuasca retreats combining the Amazonian healing rites of the indigenous Shipibo tradition with grounding practices such as mindfulness meditation and restorative yoga.

With a focus on a small group setting of 5-10 guests per retreat, we create a safe, intimate container to foster a very personal and deeply healing journey for all. Every guest receives one to one guidance, professional facilitation, and consultations led by our highly experienced team.

Included in our programs are private online preparation sessions before each retreat, ongoing integration support, medicinal plant treatments, supportive activities throughout your stay, and much more.

Operating out of the Peruvian Amazon rainforest and an Andean location in Sacred Valley of the Incas, our retreat schedules include options for beginners, non beginners, and experienced ayahuasca students interested in deepening their growth in the Shipibo lineage. We also hold specialty retreats and immersions such as women’s ayahuasca retreats, men’s ayahuasca retreats, and Shipibo plant dietas.

“This experience has left a lasting imprint on my heart. I wholeheartedly recommend Intertwining Medicines to anyone feeling called to this path of deep healing and connection.”

Trauma-Sensitive Care With Our Devoted Team

We are a small and dedicated team bringing together our passions, knowledge, gifts, and medicines into one collective healing space. Every team member has roots around the world thus bringing a different set of skills, language, and flavor to co-create extraordinary ayahuasca immersions in the jungles and mountains of Peru.

Our Western staff members are sincerely committed to the path of ayahuasca, and are long term apprentices of ayahuasca curanderismo in the Shipibo tradition. Each core member of our facilitation team has more than 15 years of personal ayahuasca healing with extensive time in plant dietas. Collectively our core team shares nearly 60 years of ayahuasca experience.

Our Ceremonial Maloka For Ayahuasca Ceremonies

Following every Sacred Valley retreat we offer an optional private tour to sacred sites such as the impressive ruins of Ollantaytambo and Pisac Temple, and we finish with a day trip to the spectacular citadel of Machu Picchu.
