What are you really looking for?
Maybe it’s clarity, or a private reset. A little less war with yourself. Maybe a life transition is asking for attention, or you’re coming from a place of genuine curiosity. Whatever it is, we can’t find the answer for you: that part is on you.
What we offer is our delicate care, shaped by years of facilitating shamanic circles, a rare chance to connect with a living Amazonian lineage, nourishing food, and the space to do the work, carefully held, in real comfort.
Rafael — a hereditary Shipibo curandero
An Indigenous Amazonian people from Peru, the Shipibo are keepers of one of the oldest living shamanic traditions, their knowledge of the sacred master plants is 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.
Deep work with your intention
August 24–28, 2026 · Bali
Day 1 · Settling in
Arriving at a private estate villa deep in the Bali jungle, your base for the days ahead. Lunch together, sharing circle, your first meeting with the maestro. As night falls, the 1st ceremony begins, and with it, the Shipibo dieta, the traditional plant diet that supports the work.
Day 2 · Going deeper
Daytime rest, private time with the shaman & rapé. After sunset, we gather in the sacred circle for the 2nd and deepest ceremony.
Day 3 · Rest & rejuvenate
The jungle, the pool, food made to nourish, a massage on request, and a traditional Amazonian plant bath, a day for deep physical integration.
Day 4 · The closing ceremony
The 3rd and final ceremony. After sunset, the circle gathers one last time, and by morning, the Shipibo dieta closes, and the work of the week settles into place.
Day 5 · Farewell
A slow breakfast together, and a final circle to share what you're carrying home.
Walking the Shipibo Sacred Path, you have the full support of experienced facilitators and a shaman born into the lineage.
Care & screening
Before your seat is reserved, you’ll go through a health screening, by call or text messaging, whichever suits you. We’ll talk through your situation and intention, your health, and any medications you take.
It’s how we see whether we’re the right fit for each other, and how we look after you and keep the circle small and intimate.
Let’s be honest with each other. Some medications are incompatible with the plant medicine; full disclosure keeps everyone well. See the full list →
Integration · Aftercare
Preparation · 2–4 weeks before. Once you’re through screening, you receive a full guide and begin easing certain foods out of your diet, red meat, fermented foods, and a few others. This is also the time to set your intention.
Shipibo Sacred Path Retreat · August 24–28, 2026. Three ceremonies with the plant teachers and the maestro. At each, a personal icaro, sung in the Shipibo language, shaped by Rafael around your process and your intention.
Integration · within a month after. A one-hour integration call, support in turning what surfaced into a real plan for your day-to-day life.
Why 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
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.
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.
