12 Day Ayahuasca Retreat

An ayahuasca retreat at the Hummingbird is an opportunity to experience traditional plant spirit medicine under the guidance of a highly skilled and experienced curandero. Our curandero Manain, has over 45 years of healing experience and has worked with us for over 7 years. Ayahuasca heals and teaches us in a variety of ways. It cleanses and purifies the body, physically and energetically. It helps free us from limiting beliefs and patterns, partly by revealing them to us. It helps us clear blocked emotional energy through the purging process.

In addition to ayahuasca ceremonies, all our retreats also include at least one ceremony with San Pedro, the visionary cactus of the Andes. Grandfather Huachuma is powerful, yet gentle healer and teacher, and a wonderful complement to the work of ayahuasca. Known as a heart opening medicine, huachuma is capable of deep cleansing of emotional energy we may have unknowingly been carrying for years.

Retreats at our ayahuasca center offers you a broad-ranging healing experience within a safe and supportive environment. Your safety, personal healing and personal/spiritual growth and transformation is our key focus. Emphasis is on time in ayahuasca ceremony, balanced by insightful activities and periods of relaxation and rest so you’ll be well prepared for the next ceremony.

Our mission is to empower each guest to reconnect with their mind, body, emotions and spirit, learning to live in self-awareness so they may more freely and truly express their authentic selves. Under the guidance maestro Don Fernando Laiche, an traditional healer with over 38 years of experience, we combine plant medicine ceremonies and dietas with regular integration sessions, and lessons on mindfulness and examining our thought patterns and belief systems. This process provides tools for each guest to apply on a daily basis so they can take charge of their own growth and healing over the long term.
