This retreat is for you if…
You keep showing up, but the drive and energy you used to count on feel long gone.
The mind keeps running long after the day ends, sleep turns shallow and rest never fully lands.
Choices that once came easily now blur together, and you keep second-guessing what you actually want.
You can name the loops you fall into, and still they pull you back, again and again.
Something is ending, or asking to begin, and you sense it's time to meet it honestly.
What are you really after?
What stays with them
Clarity. A meeting with yourself. Letting go of what no longer serves. Our guests say it best — in their own words.
We offer a space and a guide. The work — and what it opens — is yours. We make no promises of outcomes.
Rafael — a hereditary Shipibo curandero
An Indigenous people of the Peruvian Amazon, the Shipibo are keepers of one of the oldest, best-preserved shamanic traditions. Their knowledge of the sacred master plants has been carried through families for generations.
Maestro Rafael works alongside two facilitators, trained in the Shipibo tradition, each with 10+ years in Amazonian ceremonial practice, supporting your journey with presence and care.
Five days of deep work with your intention
Next retreat: August 24–28, 2026.
Arrival
Settling into the villa, opening circle, meeting the maestro.
First ceremony
A day of preparation and rest. Ceremony begins after nightfall.
Second ceremony
Morning sharing circle, quiet hours, the second night of work.
Third ceremony
Personal time with the maestro. The deepest night of the retreat.
Integration & closing
Integration circle, grounding, departure.
A small circle, facilitators present through every night, and nothing rushed — this is what makes the space feel carefully held.
Care & screening
Care & screening
We choose our guests as carefully as our guests choose us. Every application passes an individual health review before a seat is confirmed.
- A mandatory health questionnaire before anything else
- Certain medications and conditions are incompatible with the work — we review each case personally
- Incompatible medications are tapered in advance, with guidance and enough time
- Full preparation guide shared once screening is cleared
This is a ceremonial practice, not a medical service — full disclaimer below.
Why trust us
Before you arrive
One to two weeks before the retreat: a gentle traditional diet, abstaining from alcohol and certain foods, and time to set your intention.
A structured process with a guide at every step — not a leap in the dark.
The dieta
A dieta tailored to you, within the traditional Shipibo diet.
Not a menu, a way to enter your experience truly prepared. The dieta is what lets you go deep in ceremony.
Fresh, flavourful food, within the Shipibo diet.
Where you’ll stay in Bali
A private room for every guest, a dedicated ceremony space, gardens and silence. The exact location is shared after booking — privacy is part of the design.
In their words
You’ll be held
A one-hour integration call within a month of the retreat, and guidance on carrying the work into daily life. The ceremony is one night; integration is where it becomes yours.
What you need to know
Can we come as a couple?
Yes. Couples are welcome to join together, and can choose to share a room. In ceremony, each of you walks your own path: the maestro works with each intention personally.
Is this my first time — is that okay?
Yes. Most of our guests are meeting the tradition for the first time. The small circle and personal attention exist exactly for this.
I take medication. Can I join?
It depends on the medication. Disclose everything in the screening — some require tapering in advance, some are incompatible. We review every case individually.
Is it physically demanding?
The nights are long and the process can be intense. The days are built for rest, and facilitators are present through every ceremony.
What about confidentiality?
No photos of guests, no names shared, and the villa's location is disclosed only after booking.
What languages are spoken?
Ceremonies are held in the traditional way; facilitation is in English and Russian.
What if I need to cancel?
100% deposit refund 30+ days ahead, 50% at 14–30 days, later — pass your seat to someone else.
Food restrictions or allergies?
Tell us in the screening form — the kitchen adapts within the traditional diet.
