Lighthouse

Iquitos, Peru

To become a butterfly, the caterpillar should give up its previous form. After that, it becomes something new, while it keeps all the good it has a caterpillar. Our retreat center is doing the same. 🦋

We are the former “Light of the Shipibo” Retreat. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦, 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 is the same. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 changed 𝐢s 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐲 𝐰𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫.

We are happy to announce that we step to a new stage in our evolution so that we can fly higher, longer, and carry more weight.
For that, we are changing our name and from 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐧, 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 “𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞!” 🌴

    The experience of lighthouse was amazing, I could feel the staff’s services come from bottom of their hearts, no two minds but only one. Very impressed. Above all, my mission accomplished!! Mama Aya answered me in meeting my shadow and light in 2nd ceremony.

    I could say so much but actually everything‘s already said in all the beautiful reviews before and I can just confirm 100% what all the people are saying about Lighthouse. I‘ve never been to such a peaceful place and have never experiencing so much love in my life before. What the whole Lighthouse family is creating and offering there is above and beyond you could ever imagine. They‘re giving all of their heart to the place and their work and you’ll feel like part of this family right from the start. If you‘re considering doing Ayahuasca in Peru please do yourself a favour and choose Lighthouse. I can’t imagine a better place. I just finished my 3 week retreat with them and I‘m already pretty sad to left the jungle behind. I‘ll be back for sure and can’t wait to meet the guys again. It literally feels like a soul family far away from home. I‘m in deepest gratitude for my experience there. Also for me it was life changing and I‘m happy to found a place where I can always return to to remember how beautiful life is ♥️ gracias gracias gracias from the bottom of my heart!

    Really incredible! Thanks Christian, Lady, Joy and all the others! The Intake As I believe going to a retreat for a week to be part of an ayahuasca ceremony is not a decision you make on a whim. And with the personal , quite vulnerable nature of the entire process, I found it reassuring the have an almost hour long talk beforehand to get to know the people behind the organization and the reasons for wanting to be part of the ceremony. Information After the intake a lot of information was shared to prepare for the ceremony beforehand. From meditation to dieting requirements. The crew They couldn’t have been more welcoming, loving and supportive. They were simply great! A big part of the very positive experience! Ceremony The ceremonies were taken very seriously, setting the right supportive atmosphere, the importance of it, the maloka where it took place and the maestras who guided the ceremony with their íkaros; very special. And one - I believe - very (!) important aspect: group size. They are limited to 8 participants, which some organizations don’t do. I don’t want to imagine a group of 16 participants, no way! Mama Aya The ayahuasca root en the chacruna leaves. Just wow (!) what an experience, you can - and they have - write books about it. But…: you just have to experience it! But don’t take it lightly, it is intens, beautiful but intens. Down to basics The facilities were basic, decent and I liked that. It suited the ceremonies. It’s just you, the Amazon and the reason you’re there. (Okay there was also wifi ;-)) Good food and juices within the dietary restrictions Getting your food to taste good without salt is harder than you imagine. But as with anything, you get used to it. It makes you feel better as well. The different fruit juices and creativity in the dishes made it quite good really. (The first dish with salt and all the forbidden elements after the retreat was indescribable!)

    This Lodestar, this Pharos namesake, this Beaming Amazonian Guidepost of spiritual edification and revelations aligning one to zero point... "Lighthouse!"; definitely lived up to it's name. The lights are on and somebody's home... you're home...your home away from home during the duration of your stay. You're going to be taken care of and be in good hands. Before even arriving Ivan was on the job getting me ready and prepared for the experience, answering any and all questions, making himself available through texts, emails, and video calls. Thank you Ivan! The Lighthouse Team did excellent work facilitating transfer from the airport to the retreat destination. Upon arrival, like I said, it feels like home. Structurally built to safely cradle all guests, while still remaining open enough to feel immersed within the Amazon wilderness. I truly miss this place: the environment, the atmosphere, the vibe, the energy, the delicious all natural, healthy, balanced meals, fresh squeezed juices, friendly cats and dogs who also call this place home, and of course the vital spark that ties it all together, the wonderful staff of people. Jino, Christian, Maestro Antenor, Lady Di, Joy, Yoko, Lenin--words can't begin the describe my depth of gratitude and appreciation towards these outstanding humans. The world truly needs more humans like these! The Lighthouse staff has figured out a formula that works by catering to a humble assembly of humans at a time, making each individual feel recognized, acknowledged, accepted, and attended to; truly impressive! Fresh fruits and teas are always available to assemble how you'd like and reading material is also available and I do recommend not to shy away from it...the information is truly enriching! The excursions are fantastic and memorable, keeping my mind in the right place of being connected to nature and Mama Aya. As for the pièce de résistance, the ceremonies...Mama Aya has something in store for each of us and each individual's encounter is different and unique. Words do no justice here...it's just something you have to experience...and trust! you will not regret it. During the ceremonies Maestro Antenor made me feel at ease and comfortable...it's like you know you're in more than capable hands. The staff are also present during ceremonies and available for much needed support, and if you're lucky, may also synchronize with the Maestro's icaros and the occasional guitar may come into play. The Maestro's icaros are like supernatural songs, tuning the chakral notes of your spiritual body, until finally resonating in harmony with Mama Aya. After each ceremony personal time is set aside between you and the Maestro and this allowed for deeper clarity and insight. Truly fulfilling! In its entirety, I must say, the Lighthouse Ayahuasca Retreat is incredible and incomparable! After it was all said and done it's like I was reborn through Mama Aya. If you're searching for an Ayahuasca retreat, look no further, because this is it! You'll be thankful you chose "Lighthouse! Ayahuasca Retreat "!

    There truly are no words to express just how special Lighthouse is. Where to even begin. The team emanate kindness and love and make you feel part of the family from the minute you arrive. I was incredibly nervous about embarking on this experience but the minute I arrived I felt in such safe, nurturing, kind, knowledgeable hands. They care deeply about each and every person and their healing journey and nothing is too much trouble. The shaman was incredible with such a strong connection with the medicine having learnt from his famous shaman father from a young age, his Icaros were beautiful and it was amazing to be able to speak with him after every ceremony to decode the experience. The schedule is perfectly curated with rest days in between ceremonies. The food is delicious and fresh and served in the beautiful dining room overlooking the Amazon river. You feel like you are in a treetop jungle paradise at lighthouse, the accommodations are lovely and everything you need and the land is so well kept. I loved the hikes into the jungle to learn about the different trees, plant life and wildlife. What I particularly loved is that the Maestro incorporates extracts from some of the master healer trees that are known for their protective energies into the medicine. Seeing the Aya vine just a short walk from the lodge was amazing. The medicine gave me everything I hoped for and more, so much healing and so much clarity. I chose Lighthouse because the groups are maximum of 8 and with this you get so much 1:1 time with the team and are cared for so well during the ceremony. I will be forever grateful to the Lighthouse family (including the friendliest dogs and cats you could ever meet), my wonderful group who now feel like family and Mama Aya for all they have given me, without a doubt the best week of my life and I am so glad I chose Lighthouse. If you are considering Lighthouse I promise you will not regret it, it will be the greatest gift to you will ever give yourself! I look forward to returning again one day to this very special place in the jungle.

    I spent two weeks in March 2022 at Light of the Shipibo Ayahuasca Retreat Center. It is a beautiful property overlooking the Amazon river. My experience there was incredible. From my very first glimpse of the lodge, as we pulled in from the river, I knew it was a very special place. The way the buildings are situated on the property creates a very connected flow with the jungle and nature. The staff members were very caring and went out of their way to accommodate all of our needs. We went on jungle walks and boat rides and the staff members were continually sharing knowledge about the plant, bird and animal life of the jungle. The birds, and plants were gorgeous and I was overwhelmed with the wonders and beauty of Mother Nature. We even saw a sloth with her baby!! The food was amazing and I ate the best bananas ever, all picked right there on the property. The Ayahuasca Ceremonies were very thoughtfully planned out to create an environment of safety, comfort, respect and peace. It was a ‘game-changing’ experience for me and my spiritual life moving forward. I loved every moment of my time there!

    I can definately recommend Brenna’s light. I was with Justin and his family for five days. A great place with great people who do what they can to make you feel as comfortable as possible. As a single woman on foot, I felt very safe. They know what they are doing and work with the medicine in a dignified manner. We were on great walks, eating good food, great facilitating and having good conversations. It’s hard to put words into everything. But to me, Justin was an excellent guide in my own healing process. I’ll be back. Grateful.

    Words cannot describe how incredible my experience at Brenna’s Light was. I spent a long time researching retreats online and as soon as I found Brenna’s Light I knew it was the right place for me to have my Ayahuasca experience. It was the hardest process I have ever been through but having Walter, Lady and the team around me made it so much better, you certainly are surrounded by love. I felt in safe hands with Davis, our Shaman, and he knew exactly the right amount to give me each ceremony. The food was delicious and plentiful, even whilst being dieta friendly. I trusted the universe to put me there with the right people and I could not have asked for a better two people to go through my journey with, there is plenty of downtime to rest and process everything that happens in the ceremonies, and having the other two to talk things through was really beneficial as well as having a laugh. Walter was a brilliant guide, we had a great afternoon searching for dolphins and going to the beach and mud bathing, plus a jungle walk and visit to a local rum distillery. I had some huge releases during my 3 ceremonies and many visions providing me with all the realisations I need to live a freer life with an open heart. I cannot recommend Brenna’s Light strongly enough, and make sure you commit to the dieta before you get there, it’s really worth it ❤️❤️❤️

    I had a great time at Brenna’s light. They took care of me very well, making me feel so much love and care. The shaman put so much effort in the ceremonies and the Icaros and medicine were healing and powerful. During the ceremonies, I felt lots of happiness and love, so I was so smiley. The shaman did a very good job, always checked my situation, and made me feel safe. They absolutely did their best to heal me and the energy was so pure and strong. Our connection was so beautiful.

    There is a family living here taking care of me, preparing delicious meals, and cleaning the space everyday. They also assisted in ceremonies and provided me all the help. I truly thank them for their effort. We also went to the beach to enjoy the nature together. The treated me like family, and they always smiled. I enjoyed staying with everyone here.

    The place is located in an isolated jungle. However, it was not too far by boat. The nature was amazing and I felt very relaxed. Justin was a wonderful host, and he always asked me how I felt to make sure everything was ok. I was so lucky to be in the retreat.

    Except for the retreat, Justin invited us for meals before and after the retreats. It was so nice to spend time together outside the retreat. Such a good memory!

    I highly recommend Brenna’s light to everyone. Come to receive the blessing from Ayahuasca and meet these lovely people. 🙂 Brenna’s light is donation-based, and they are dedicated to healing people instead of making money. Their intention is to help people, and they are very honest, trustworthy, and reliable. They knew what they were doing, and everything went so smoothly. They received only few guests in a retreat, so everyone could get the best care. Thank you, Justin and everyone at Brenna’s light. It was a wonderful experience!

    I did extensive research on Ayahuacsa centers in Peru a few years ago and the trip I planned never happened. Friends backed out and it just didn’t feel right. I then made plans to sit in ceremony several times in the US and those too all fell through, the last i was attend to solo and a giant wildfire canceled the ceremony. My Aya dreams were put on hold but I made my intentions known to close friends.

    In august a friend forwarded me Brennas Light. The blue morpho logo grabbed me immediately as they are a special guide for me but what grabbed me even more was Justin’s story and that was donation based. When you have a calling in life, it is your passion and great pleasure to serve people. Of course, Curanderos need to pay bills in this earthly realm as well but as Aya centers have seem to become these capitalistic ventures, Brennas Light seemed to vibrate with energy of authentic service to the greater good of humanity.

    Needless to say we bought plane tickets and spent 1/13/20 – 1/18/20 with the Brennas Light family. Justin met us by the river in Iquitos and immediately felt like kin. Feeling safe and seen and heard are the beginning of healing and all those feelings were present. We were even approached by several men attempting to sell us Aya ceremonies before meeting with Justin and it just felt gross. After a short trip down the river with the team we arrived at such beautiful land with a giant fig tree and Babecito and Segundo – two of the dogs living on the land greeting us.

    Over the course of the week we sat in 3 ceremonies, received Kambo / Sapo medicine and I undertook an Ajo Sancha dieta. We took the boat out in search of wildlife, visited a medicinal rum distillery and swam in the Amazon infusing our bodies with the amazing mud the jungle has to offer. The entire time I felt safe and my body and mind were calm. Justin and Christian were amazing at leading the ceremonies and from the whole team I felt so cared for and loved. Walter, )the nature guide) and Lady sat in ceremony with us without drinking to help with anything we needed and he was my guide to walk outside to the bathroom a few minutes after She (the medicine) hit super strong. I felt as though I were walking through dimensions and could barely find the floor to step on and Walter was with me, holding and guiding me ever so respectfully every step of the way. Lady helped me during our jungle walk when we got caught in the most beautiful rainstorm. She taught me how to walk in the jungle mud (heel first) and was so patient with my Spanish, teaching me the correct way to say things with so much warmth and all smiles.

    Asteria cooked all our meals and despite being dieta food, she made it all tasty (cooked with love) and was all smiles as well. I have recommended Brenna’s Light to every friend I have, inviting them down as I plan to return and spend more time myself hopefully studying with Christian. Such a beautiful medicine, team and experience, I feel like I found a second home and am so grateful for all the ways this aligned. Thank you Justin, Christian and the whole team, including Brenna who has helped create this magical space from the other side.
