Come experience 7 days of indigenous Shuar Amazonian medicine alongside the Machuca River, nestled away into the peace of the Costa Rican jungle.
This will include 3 ayahuasca ceremonies, two temazcals (traditional sweat lodge) three meals a day, riverfront tipi lodgings, mambo, hapé, river rituals/blessings, personal limpias (energetic clearings), integration and much more.
This is a rare and special occasion; as medicine ceremonies are on the rise, it becomes more difficult to know if the medicine is being served by an authentic medicine person and if the medicine itself is ethical. We are honored to have been given this responsibility and offer an authentic experience with an amazing curandero. To know more about who we are, check out the “about us” page.
PRICE: $1400.
DISCOUNTS: $100-$150 off if you participate in our early bird offerings. Sign up by Feb. 15 for $150 off OR sign up by May 1st for $100 discount. We are also happy to discuss payment plans.
