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 💕

April 10, 2026 at 2:44 pmI came to lodge in 2021 with my sister and a group of friends. We are all going through different phases in our lives, but our friends Angel was turning 40 and this is what he wanted to do. I had always wanted to do Aya and I knew there wouldn’t be a better opportunity than this one. I was very scared at first because I had been sick from a mushroom supplement I had taken months and was not sure if I would go through with the ceremonies. Sure enough Nancy took the time to talk to me about what worries and shared a lot about her life with me. She ended up being a person that helped calm and ground me through out the entire experience. As for Aya, everyone’s experience is different. I have nothing but love and respect for this great spirit. She knows why. I needed a lot of cleansing in order to be able to do the ceremonies, which was provided to me. I highly recommend this lodge. They take your security and wellbeing seriously. The food is as best can be expected. It is an amazingly beautiful and magical place.

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.

April 8, 2026 at 4:54 pmThis experience that I had at the flower of Life was undescribable, healing and everything that I needed that I didn’t even know. From the moment I contacted Nancy she guided me through so much with so much love and attention. I did an 8-day retreat with the maestro Alfredo and had the most amazing healing moments and connection with my inner spirit,mother Earth, my ancestors and guides. The shaman guided me with their beautiful ikaros through the most amazing and transforming ceremonies. I left there feeling renewed, refreshed and in love with who I am. The accommodations are so beautiful and the energy through the whole place is one of love. Peace and healing. I’m feeling called to sit back with medicine and this is the only place that I would feel comfortable. You go there and may welcome you with open arms and you leave with a new family. I recommend this to everyone who is ready to dive deep into themselves.

Maestro Alfredo and Maestro Sergio are incredibly powerful, skilled, and compassionate maestros. Their guidance, presence, and understanding made me trust them completely. I felt deeply supported and protected during every ceremony, and their work had a profound impact on my healing journey.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Flower of Life Retreat to anyone seeking a safe, authentic, and deeply transformative experience.
