This retreat is for you
if you are…
A founder or leader
You’re wired and busy, and what you need is simple: to clear your head, put everything back in its place, and reset.
Successful on paper
The goals are met, the life looks right, but you still feel empty inside.
At a turning point
You’re preparing for the next right move, and you want to make it from a place of clarity.
An experienced practitioner
It’s not your first time, and you feel ready to go deeper, with the support of an authentic shamanic lineage.
New to this path
You’ve been curious for a while, but never knew where to start.
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 simply here out of genuine curiosity. Whatever it is, we can’t find the answer for you: that part is yours.
What we offer is our delicate care, shaped by years of holding 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.
Deep work with your intention
August 24–28 · 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.
Screening & Preparation
Screening · before your seat is confirmed. A private consultation and health review by call or text, whichever suits you: your situation, your intention, your health and any medications. It’s how we see whether we’re the right fit for each other, and how we curate a cohesive circle.
Full honesty protects you and the whole circle, so please share all relevant health details with us fully. Every answer stays confidential. Read the contraindications →
Preparation · 14 days before. Once you’re through screening, you receive a full preparation guide and begin easing certain foods out of your diet, red meat, fermented foods, and a few others: a gentle runway into the Shipibo dieta itself.
You’re welcome to hold the diet for the full two weeks; the essential window is the final 7–10 days.
This is also the time to set your intention: the maestro will meet it personally in ceremony.
Your stay in Bali
A private estate villa in the Bali jungle.
It all takes place in a quiet, secluded part of the island. We offer you a luxury retreat in Bali in the full sense: your private room, fresh, nourishing meals, a pool, gardens, and a dedicated team looking after the house and supporting your journey throughout your stay. Space to be among people walking the same path, and space to reconnect with yourself.
We don’t publish the address; privacy is part of the experience. The villa is chosen for each circle, and the exact location is shared once your booking is confirmed.
The standard of accommodation we hold for every circle.
The dieta
A diet tailored to your intention, within the traditional Shipibo diet.
Fresh, flavourful food, within the Shipibo diet.
All meals are included in your stay, prepared fresh daily at the villa: simple, clean and nourishing.
It’s not a menu, but a way to enter your experience truly prepared. The logic is practical: what’s on your plate shapes how deep and clear your ceremony can be. The dieta is one of the pillars the whole experience rests on.
And if the maestro sees the need, master plants of the Shipibo tradition may join your dieta, chosen personally for you.
Integration & aftercare
You’ll be held.
The retreat opens the work. Integration, the care that follows, is how the insights of these five days truly take root.
Integration is the reason the change lasts.
We support your integration with a one-hour call, available to every participant by request within a month after the retreat: guidance on carrying the work into daily life, and support in turning what surfaced into a real plan.
