Our Path
At Flower of life Ayahuasca Healing Center, we hold a sacred space for those who feel called to turn inward, heal the heart, and remember who they truly are. Our purpose is to support deep processes of transformation, guiding each person along a path of reconnection with their inner truth, the wisdom of nature, and the calling of the soul.
We are located three hours from Iquitos, in a remote and blessed corner of the Peruvian Amazon near the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. Surrounded by the vastness of the jungle, the songs of birds, and the living energy of the river, our center offers the ideal setting to release the noise of the outside world and enter into communion with the unseen, the natural, and the sacred.
We offer medicinal plant diet retreats of 5, 8, and 14 days, as well as a 28-day transformational program and a six-week course in Sacred Shamanism and Curanderismo. Each of these paths has been created with love, respect, and deep intention to support authentic processes of healing, learning, and spiritual awakening.
During their stay, participants may take part in Ayahuasca and San Pedro ceremonies guided by Shipibo healers from the Amazon, as well as Kambo sessions and master plant diets. Our programs also include floral aromatherapy baths, medicinal plant steam baths, daily herbal remedies, and jungle excursions, all thoughtfully woven together to nourish the body, cleanse the spirit, and open the heart.
Flower of life Ayahuasca healing center was founded and is lovingly held by a Peruvian woman who deeply believes in the healing power of medicinal plants and in the ancestral wisdom that lives within the jungle. From this feminine, loving, and protective vision, a safe, intimate, and welcoming space has been created where each visitor can feel held, cared for, and truly supported.
The Medicine
Our Ayahuasca is prepared exclusively with the Ayahuasca vine and Chacruna leaf, honoring the purity and tradition of this sacred medicine. Each preparation is made with respect, prayer, and intention, with the understanding that this is not simply a plant medicine, but a living consciousness that teaches, reveals, and transforms.
As one of the few Ayahuasca centers led by a woman, we deeply honor the feminine spirit of Mother Ayahuasca. We believe in her loving strength, in her ability to guide with both firmness and tenderness, and in her power to help us remember our sensitivity, our truth, and our connection to life. For us, this feminine presence not only heals, but also awakens and restores balance within the inner world of each being.
The Lodge
Flower of life Ayahuasca Healing Center is located on the banks of the Marañón River, in one of the purest, most pristine, and spiritually powerful regions of the Peruvian Amazon. The closeness of the water offers a silent and profound medicine. Many feel that the river accompanies, cleanses, and supports the healing process in a way that is almost invisible, yet deeply real.
Our lodge was built with inspiration drawn from the architecture of Incan temples. Several female healers who have spent time in this space feel that this land carries an ancient memory, as if it may once have been a sacred ceremonial site. The pyramidal landscape, the power of the surroundings, and the spiritual presence that can be felt here make this place a natural portal for introspection, prayer, and self-discovery.
We understand that working with Ayahuasca can be one of the most intense and revealing experiences of a person’s life. For this reason, we have created a space that embraces this journey with beauty, calm, and care. We offer spacious private cabins with private bathrooms and showers, electricity at night, and small groups of no more than eight participants, allowing for an intimate, comfortable, and deeply personal experience. Our intention is for each person to surrender to the process feeling safe, supported, and at peace.
The Shamans
We work in alignment with the ancient and traditional medicine of the Shipibo people, honoring their lineage, their knowledge, and their sacred relationship with the master plants. Each retreat is held in a small group setting so that every participant can receive close, individualized, and genuine attention.
Our shamans have devoted decades to this path of learning, discipline, and service. Their experience is expressed not only in ceremony, but also in the way they listen, observe, guide, and hold each participant’s process. They are guardians of ancestral wisdom, sharing their knowledge with humility, presence, and respect.
Together with our Shipibo maestras and maestros, we also offer medicinal plant remedies and other traditional supportive tools, such as Mapacho, whenever the process calls for them. Everything is carried out with deep reverence for the medicine and for the soul of every person who arrives in this place.
Activities
Although the retreat invites silence, rest, and introspection, the jungle also reveals itself as a great teacher. To be here is to remember that nature has its own language, its own intelligence, and its own way of healing.
We frequently offer boat rides to swim with pink river dolphins, observe birds in their natural habitat, and explore the Amazon through guided jungle walks. Each journey is an opportunity to open the senses, feel the living presence of the earth, and reconnect with the mystery of creation. It is not uncommon to see sloths in the trees, armadillos along the trail, or nocturnal monkeys accompanying your walk back to your cabin.
We are located within the protected area of Pacaya Samiria. Unlike other places where extensive paths must be cleared deep into the forest, we choose to preserve the jungle in its natural state. We believe that part of the medicine lies precisely in this: allowing nature to remain alive, free, and sacred. Here, every tree, every sound, every sunrise, and every silence becomes part of the healing journey.
We also offer Wi-Fi for those who need to stay connected with loved ones, although many discover upon arriving that the most important connection is the one that awakens within themselves.
We look forward to welcoming you soon, with open hearts, into this space created for healing, remembering, and blossoming.
With Light and Love 💕

June 25, 2026 at 12:58 pmI stayed at Flower of Life for 28 days, and it has truly been one of the most life-changing experiences of my life.
From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth, kindness, and genuine care. The entire staff made me feel supported, loved, and safe throughout my stay. The rooms were always spotless, comfortable, and peaceful, and the food was delicious, nourishing, and very satisfying.
The heart of this retreat is Maestro Alfredo. His wisdom, compassion, and powerful healing presence made an incredible impact on my journey. Every ceremony—whether it was Ayahuasca, Kambo, San Pedro, or the many other plant medicines—was explained thoroughly beforehand, allowing me to feel safe, prepared, and fully present. His post-ceremony consultations were just as valuable, helping me understand and integrate each experience with patience and care.
One of the most touching moments of my stay was the final Arkana ceremony, where Alfredo invited his mother and sister to participate. Witnessing three generations of healers sharing their gifts together was beyond powerful. The love, energy, and healing they brought into the space is something I will never forget. It was truly a sacred and unforgettable experience.
This retreat exceeded every expectation I had. I arrived hoping for healing, but I leave with a completely new perspective on life, a deeper connection to myself, and immense gratitude.
I will definitely be back. Maestro Alfredo has recommended that I return for another 15-day retreat in two years, and I sincerely hope to do exactly that.
Thank you to everyone at Flower of Life for creating such a beautiful, loving, and transformational place. I will carry this experience with me for the rest of my life. Highly, highly recommended.

April 10, 2026 at 7:36 pm100% Life transforming. I have visited Flower of Life 5 times for over 6 weeks. Having suffered with trauma, stress, pain and fear, nothing has helped me heal and reclaim my sovereignty than Maestro Alfred, Nancy and the entire team at Flower of Life.
The facility is filled with luscious medicine. The frequency is high vibe, earthy and healing. My body started healing the moment I arrive. The space is safe, well groomed and each of the staff members serve with love and devotion.
I am facilitator, transformational workshop leader and now one of Maestro Shipibo Shamans. I have spent thousands of dollars seeking help from others. There are very few people I trust with my mind, body and soul, Flower of Life my second home.

April 9, 2026 at 10:31 amMy experience at the Flower of Life Healing Center was truly beyond my expectations. The center is a genuine sanctuary of peace and tranquility.
I arrived a bit tense, unsure of what awaited me on my first journey to the jungle. However, the staff was incredibly attentive and kind-hearted. Alfredo, the shaman, greeted me with joy, providing the care and confidence I needed for this transformative experience.
The ceremonies were outstanding, and I felt secure at all times, knowing I was in the right place. The food was a delightful surprise: delicious, healthy, and nutritious, without any seasonings, salt, or oils.
The suite-style rooms were clean and comfortable. While the mosquitoes were part of the experience, I managed that situation well.
Nancy, the owner, is an exceptional human being, full of wisdom and a wonderful mentor. She was consistently attentive to how I was feeling and my healing process with the medicinal plants.
I feel renewed and deeply grateful to the Flower of Life team. I will definitely return to continue lighting my path.
