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 did a lot of research on different retreats I could visit to participate in Ayahuasca Ceremonies while visiting Peru. So many of the retreats just seemed like money making ventures that only cared about the economic benefits from providing Ayahuasca to tourists. Even my hotel in Iquitos tried to push me to some that would have cost upwards of $3000 for 5 days. I don’t recall how I discovered Brenna’s Light but I count it as a blessing that I did. I can not think of a better place to experience this powerful medicine in its natural environment. Justin, the owner, is an amazing individual that opened this center to help others heal as he did after the untimely death of his girlfriend, whom the center is named for. Justin is training to become a Shaman under the guide of a couple of Maestros that lead the ceremonies at Brenna’s Light. Christian led our ceremonies the week I was there. I was one of two guests present. It was very personalized and beautiful. Christian’s Icaros were amazing. He called upon the spirits to protect and heal the entire ceremony. His medicine is top notch, Very powerful. I saw and experienced things I did not believe to be possible. Simply amazing! All of the people that work at Brenna’s Light are like family. They are so nice and helpful. We went fishing on the Amazon one day, hiking in the jungle with Walter and Lady the guides that told us about all the plants and animals we came across. The entire experience was magical. I will for sure return and I am sending many others I know as well to experience what Brenna’s Light has to offer. Do yourself a favor and do not go anywhere else!!!

    It will be hard to describe the experience I had here but I will do my best. The entire time I was here I just felt like I was hanging out at someone’s house. It was extremely welcoming and comfortable. The ceremonies were intimate and again it felt like going through these experiences in a trusted friends living room. Christian and Justin led guided ceremonies that always revealed insight into some matter as well as having compassionate understanding into why we were there. Christian’s abilities as a shaman are awe inspiring and I was filled with a sense of wonder after each journey. I will never forget this place and was quite saddened to leave as the sense of peace, calm, and happiness at the lodge was unparalleled. I left with an incredible burden and weight removed from my mind and body and am ready to approach the next stage of my life with clarity and an open heart. The staff are extremely friendly and kind and though I spoke little Spanish, I still felt like I made new friends amongst all of them. I will never be able to express my gratitude fully, but know that I am forever indebted to my time here and the healing and revelations learned from grandmother Ayahuasca. Thank you so very much for making me feel genuine laughter again. Gracious tobacco!

    Where do I start… I knew I wanted to come to Peru to take Ayahuasca, but was so overwhelmed with all the places that popped up on google… when I finally came across Brenna’s Light, I immediately loved that it was donation based so I would only donate what I took from the experience. After it caught my attention, I started reading and the reviews sold it for me. It’s been just under two weeks since I was there, and I only have outstanding things to say about Brenna’s Light!
    I felt a little anxious going into the retreat, but felt so at ease when I arrived because of the friendly workers and welcoming atmosphere! I would say that it was one of the most intense weeks of my life (scary, overwhelming, emotional, joyful, beautiful and fulfilling) and have the whole team to thank! I got exactly what I wanted out of the retreat, and having such caring workers, shaman, and owner (Justin) made the world of a difference.
    If you’re questioning if you should take this experience, go to this centre.. do it! You won’t regret it! ❤️❤️❤️

    We spent hours researching ayahuasca retreat centres before finally stumbling across Brenna’s Light. This is the only resort we found in Peru that did not seem overly commercialised but still legitimate. And our research paid off! We just spent an incredible week in the midst of the beautiful Amazon jungle. We had so much time to reflect and read (Justin keeps a collection of great books guests can borrow) and having inspiring conversations. Justin is so sweet and really cares about each and every one of his guests. He has himself gone through a lot and knows the ayahuasca medicine very well so has many helpful anecdotes and tips. The staff are all lovely. Walter, our personal jungle guide who knows more about birds and other animals than anyone else, the lovely ladies who cooked us delicious fresh vegan/vegetarian meals every day and of course Cristian who guided us through every ceremony and had good advice for everyone in the group shares, deserve special mention! Don’t expect anything fancy here – accommodation is basic (two bathrooms are shared between guests and staff and the occasional frog or spider) and wifi limited which is to be expected. It is really about the ceremonies and the healing here which is also reflected by the fact that this is entirely donation based. All in all, a life changing experience that we would highly recommend especially to everyone who has lived through trauma or has issues to deal with. Thanks again to Justin and the whole time for a great week!
