Questions

How it Works

Traditional Shipibo Plant Medicine is an indigenous healing tradition that has long been revered for its depth and effectiveness. Our approach combines the strength of tradition with an abundance of love, support, and warmth. Under the guidance of the medicine, we create a powerful and safe healing container. Here, you can find a profound connection with yourself, the plants, and the divine. This is an amazing

opportunity to:

  • see and know yourself and the world around you in a way you have never imagined.

  • recognize and break through old patterns and heal traumas

  • release shame and limiting belief patterns

What is Ayahuasca?

Ayahuasca is a sacred plant teacher from the Amazon, used for thousands of years as a gateway to healing and spiritual insight. When prepared with reverence, it becomes a powerful ally for profound emotional release and spiritual awakening.

What can I expect during a ceremony?

Each journey is unique. Many experience a deep conversation with their inner wisdom, emotional release, visions, and profound insights. Physical purging can be a natural part of releasing what no longer serves. Our guides provide unwavering support throughout.

How do you ensure safety?

Your safety is sacred. Every participant completes a comprehensive health screening. Our master healers maintain constant, careful supervision during all ceremonies, and our integration support helps you weave your experiences into your daily life with wisdom and care.

How do I Prepare?

You will be walked through an intake process to ensure a safe and productive journey. For new participants this includes an intake questionnaire and a video call to answer questions and formulate the most effective intention for your journey. You will be given preparation protocols and a medical screening to optimize the experience and ensure your safety.

What is Integration?

Integration is often as important as the experience itself. There will be an integration circle following the meditation where you will be offered perspectives on how to better understand your experience with the medicine as well as techniques and resources that can be helpful going forward. New participants receive an individual integration call with Soi Kene, and there will be a group integration call approximately 2 weeks after the retreat.

What should I bring?

Upon registration, you'll receive a detailed guide. The essentials are simple: comfortable clothing, a journal, a water bottle, and most importantly, a heart open to receiving.
