We offer dietas with Noya Rao and/or Bobinsana during our courses and our treatments include over a dozen other plant remedies and daily healing work. We also include integrative practices like yoga, meditation, epigenetics, breathwork, massage, ayurveda, hypnosis, sound healing, channeling, and counseling.

October 5, 2018 at 4:57 pmI attended the 8 week curandero program at Inkan Kena that completed in September 2018. The course was very challenging but rewarding beyond words. The amount of time and effort that has gone in to the content is incredible. Dean the lead facilitator was incredible, wise, patient and respected as a brother by the Shipibo family (what a privilege to see). Carlos has put to much thought into the program. It’s natural to question ones own decision making when in the jungle for an extended period of time, but that’s often the ego resisting the learning that comes from surrendering to the new environment and learning. Amazing experience. Super grateful for Don Enriques willingness to share the wisdom of his lineage with us gringos.

September 2, 2018 at 4:04 pmI attended the 2 week course, in august 2018, at the Chamusal retreat center with Don Ronor, facilitators; Mike, Nick and Arith.
From the moment I made the choice to attend, Carlos Tanner, the founder of The Ayauaschca Foundation, responded and readily answered questions and concerns. His knowledge of the healing embodiment of Ayahuasca and plant healing was impressive. He was extremely helpful above and beyond anything I could have imagined…. to the point that my luggage was delayed in getting to me and Carlos met me in Iquitos to help me fill out forms and locate the bag, then accompanied myself and my travel companions by taxi to our hotel. I recieved my bag a few days later and Arith made the trip out of the jungle to return it to me! I felt safe and secure in their hands.
I had the opportunity to take part in 5 out of 6 ceremonies. Each one was different from the last. I won’t sugar coat it, the first 3 were a challenge, emotionally, physically and psychologically. I had never used any type of mind altering substances other than alcohol or weed, so to submit and trust the hallucinations and releasing control of my body was frightening. But, I was there to heal my body and avoid surgical removal of my reproductive organs. I barreled on and called on my warrior spirit to get me through to the side of healing.
I was not disappointed. The medicines that Don Ronor recommended and used for treatment were pleasant. His kindness and deep relationship with the plants amazed me. He was very compassionate. That being said, I cannot speak highly enough for our facilitators, Mike, Nick and Arith.
Each of them showed empathy, compassion and knowledge beyond their years. It was remarkable at how deeply they related to each individual participant. Nick and Mike were available 24 hours a day for support. They reached out to each individual multiple times over the days and weeks, sitting to talk, discuss symptoms or emotional challenges or just to laugh and have fun.
I deeply believe the dynamic between them was a privilege to be part of.
As a side note, each man is a very talented musician. Our group was gifted daily with beautiful guitar music and/or drumming, and magical singing. I could not have been blessed with a more sacred experience. The music carried me through some very emotional moments and comforted my heart and soul.
By the end of the retreat my heart was filled with such joy. I have made life long friends. These men and women are my soul family and I’m blessed.
After traveling back to Iquitos, Mike, Nick and Arith continued to be available to us, until our departures. The experience was incredibly safe. And all I can say is I’m sorry I missed Arith’s driving skills on the motor bike. Lol. Some day I hope to return to Chamusal. The personal growth and healing I have gained, far outweigh the challanges. Thank you to Carlos Tanner and everyone!!! Until next time. Blessed Be.

July 31, 2018 at 12:27 pmI was at the ayahuasca foundation for a month, the team where professional, kind, fun and helpful. Don Miguel and his medicines were excellent and very insightful. My experiences here are definitely the deepest I’ve ever gone with the ayahuasca and the whole experience has given me a new deep and meaningful look on my life.
This is a place of healing and salvation, my time here has changed my life for the better and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a professionally run healing retreat.

July 11, 2018 at 5:55 pmI spent four weeks at The Ayahuasca Foundation’s Riosbos Research Centre in March 2018. It was a wonderful experience with a supportive group and attentive leaders. The Shaman, Don Miguel, is very loving and accessible during one’s stay. He and the leaders evaluate each person individually and their treatment is tailored to their own needs. The plant medicines are skilfully and accurately prepared to address personal issues. Each ceremony is safely conducted with appropriate support and follow-up. For me, I found the “dietas” was quite profound. I often think about returning to focus on certain things and to address other issues at a deeper level. After completing the program, I felt so clear, healthy and more connected to spirit. The experience is still a big part of who I am.
I recommend this program to anyone looking for a life changing experience.

July 9, 2018 at 3:50 amIntegral, holistic and incredibly caring <3 I honestly have a hard time composing an adequate description of the time I spent with the AF, but never did I imagine to be met the way that I did here. The care, the passion, the love, the dedication and the integrity with which the work is conducted at the Ayahusaca Foundation is incredibly inspiring and has left me a transformed being. I can highly – highly recommend it! This isn't a place to go for the fireworks, this is a place for healing of the whole.
I attended their 8-week initiation course and as long with a very thorough training on how to navigate the ceremonial space and an incredible amount of personal healing – we learned a great deal about how to empower ourselves and continue the work outside of ceremony. The knowledge and ability to continue the work and to properly integrate all the lessons is incredible valuable and I feel I left with a huge briefcase of well practiced tools and a big amount of homework. Between ceremonies we worked with different kinds of plant medicine, everything adding and balancing the time their. I can highly, highly recommend this organization!
Thank you!
