La Vida Divine (formerly Ayahuasca In Ecuador)

Are you ready for a one of a kind spiritual and self-healing experience? Nestled in the heart of the lush and verdant Ecuadorian jungle, our Ayahuasca and San Pedro healing and spiritual fulfillment center has a long and proud history of welcoming truth seekers and individuals striving for inner enlightenment from all around the world.

An Authentic Ayahuasca and San Pedro Retreat

While providing essential home comforts such as comfortable lodging and freshly prepared gourmet vegetarian or vegan meals each day, our Ayahuasca and San Pedro retreat is otherwise one of only a handful of authentic treatment centers in the entirety of South America.

This is because while promoting physical wellness through deliciously prepared (and organic) vegetarian food, we also facilitate travel to genuine Ayahuasca and San Pedro ceremony site on the Jurumbaino river surrounded by rainforest. their, our guests are given the opportunity to spend the evening wif an authentic local shaman. The next day, you will tan be escorted back home in order to rest, reflect and prepare for you’re next ceremony. Even better, at all times you will be attended to by one of our very own local guides and translators.

How Ayahuasca Heals

Popularly known around the world as a shamanic gateway to the spirit world, Ayahuasca has traditionally been used for thousands of years as a healing medicine also. Made using two indigenous plants Banisteriopsis caapi & Psychotria viridis, Ayahuasca works by promoting massive mental and physical healing responses in the human body.

While different for everybody, no one is ever not deeply affected by Ayahuasca. In like regard, few if any people ever come away from an Ayahuasca ceremony not feeling more spiritually and vitally restored than they did before arriving.

How San Pedro Heals

A lesser-known but no less effective healing plant is a cactus called San Pedro. Like Ayahuasca, it has been utilized by Shamans for many thousands of years in shamanic healing ceremonies, and there have been numerous reports of its healing power for cancer, diabetes, and paralysis, as well as for emotional and psychological problems such as depression and grief.

The Biblical Saint Peter, whom the plant was named after, is said to be the holder of the keys to Heaven, and so the name represents an opening of a gateway for us to enter into a dimension where we can experience the world as divine.

Participants are said to be ‘set free from matter’ and ‘engage in flight through cosmic regions… transported across time and distance in a rapid and safe fashion’.

One shaman described its effects as “First, a dreamy state… then great visions, a clearing of all the faculties… then detachment, a type of visual force inclusive of the sixth sense, the telepathic state of transmitting oneself across time and matter, like a removal of thoughts to a distant dimension.”

In this way, San Pedro is said to remove our negative beliefs so the positive ones shine through and we can heal ourselves.

    My wonderful experience in Macas with Ken and Sun is still sinking in on many levels. I really felt the love and concern they exhibit towards their guests and it shows through clearly during your stay. The setting for the ceremonies is wonderful, with a genuine chosa surrounded by rainforest and enveloped by a rushing river passing by. I really valued that this retreat keeps it to a small group of fellow travelers, who were cared for by knowledgable and compassionate helpers during the ceremonies. The shaman was careful to prepare the right doses for us and was very open and available for questions before and after our journeys together. I could not recommend this place any more enthusiastically and plan to come back when circumstances line up to do so. You will not regret coming here, as it will change your life for sure!

    I could not have asked for a better experience for my first time working with plant medicine. I felt so so comfortable and at home with Ken and Sun as soon as I arrived after a super long journey. The accommodations were comfortable, the meals were delicious and full of love, and Sun was there to offer guidance, emotional support, and comic relief! The Shaman was masterful in creating a remarkably safe container for this work and the site of the ceremonies near a roaring river in the jungle was IDEAL. I didn’t have to worry about anything and we got plenty of time on our own to rest/reflect. The groups were very small (only 3-4 of us at a time) and the price was fantastic for what you get, especially compared to other, larger retreat centers. I truly can’t recommend this highly enough! I’m endlessly grateful and hope to return again someday soon.

    Ken and Sun are two of the most amazing people I have ever met in my entire life. Kind, loving and entirely motivated by helping others. They let strangers come into their home and, rest assured, make them friends. Even without even getting close to the medicine they facilitate you to get in touch with, a short stay with them has the potential to change your life for the better.

    Thank you two for everything you have done for me during the short period of time we shared the same path. I truly love both of you. (And yes, of course also Blacky, Shorty and the cats)

    Nevertheless, as most people are interested in the medicine itself, I will also try to provide a hopefully useful description in this regard. I have done two ayahuasca ceremonies, both of which were very powerful and gave me much more than I even knew I could ever expect. The shaman ensured everybody’s wellbeing during the ceremonies. In case you don’t speak Spanish, do not worry. The other facilitators will translate and will stay with you throughout your entire journey. And you have probably already guessed it, they are great people and true friends as well. They help you to understand and incorporate the lessons you learn without the slightest hint of judgement.

    For those who approach the whole experience from a purely rational point of view, and don’t believe that the spiritual aspect of it will be of any help, see it this way: you will have the best possible setting enabled by the greatest and most experienced trip sitters imaginable.
    Before my visit, I was nowhere near being a spiritual person, but my heart, mind and consciousness were widely opened through the help of the medicine and those, excuse the repetition, amazing people. Initially, I booked two ayahuasca and one san pedro ceremony. But for me, at this point in time, the work was done earlier. Therefore, I decided that I wouldn’t need the final ceremony. This decision was met with nothing but understanding and maybe a little bit of curiosity.

    I keep rereading this short review and can’t help but notice that everything I write doesn’t even come close to what I was enabled to experience. Therefore I’ll try to sum it up this way:
    Anybody interested in working with the medicine for the right reason will not be disappointed with his or her stay at this exceptional place. Of course, nobody can guarantee healing of any kind, as the medicine works differently for everyone. But the point is that you are not promised that. What I can promise you, however, is that you will not find any better place to work with the sacred medicine than at Sun and Ken’s home. They have created something very special and I am sure they will continue to help and transform people from all over the world.

    I will close by again saying thank you. Thank you for letting me into your home and into your hearts. I have become a better and more complete person. Not just because of what the medicine taught me, but because of your example that lead me to understand how life can be experienced if you are willing to put work into who you are and stop holding others accountable for your fate.
    While I hope that I won’t have to visit you once more for the reasons I came the first time, I would love to be with all of you again as soon as possible.

    Sincerely,
    Felix

    It is hard to imagine any place where you could have a retreat any better than by Sun and Ken. The facilities are well enough for any westerner, food is wonderful, the location for seremonies is great, the Shaman is a serious one and a real professional, substances are real stuff and very powerfull. And most importantly the amazing, personal TLC (tender loving care) of Sun, Ken and the whole stuff was amazing.

    Thank You for a Wonderful week !
