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.

    Booking a week-long retreat with Lighthouse! was one of the most transformative experiences of my life ✨ Arriving unsure of what to expect, I was met with an overwhelming sense of kindness, unconditional love, and unwavering support.

    If you’re considering an Ayahuasca journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Lighthouse!. From the initial, helpful logistics provided by Ivan to the immediate embrace of the loving team onsite, you truly feel like part of a family. The sanctuary itself is breathtaking, nestled deep within the jungle, where the sounds of nature create a truly immersive experience. Yet, the comfortable living spaces ensure a balance of tranquility and comfort. You get the best of both worlds!

    Maestro Antenor, Christian, Jino, Lady Diana, Joshua, and every other member of this incredible team – thank you for creating such a safe and supportive space. I will never forget this experience!!

    It went very well I’d say. Felt like I lived 2 lifetimes in that week. It was draining but in a good way. I think I gained enlightenment and got help in different areas of my life. I guess only time will tell. I was thinking about coming back in a few years but after the final ceremony I don’t think I have to I still haven’t eaten any pork for the 3 month protocol. I had some wine when I first came back but poured the rest down the toilet. I don’t have the need to drink or do drugs anymore. Less anxiety and depression, anger, not perfect or all the way gone but alot better and more patience. I’m trying to work on my diet and fasting so these changes last Why no pork.? If you don’t mind me asking.? And do you have any advice or tips for living after the retreat.? Thanks for everything, you and the rest of the staff and Maestro were amazing and felt like long lost relatives ♥️I am forever grateful to Joshua for putting this place together, hopefully I can meet him and you and person 1 day ️

    Attending a Lighthouse 13-day retreat was a profoundly transformative and impactful experience. My purpose is now clear.
    While the food is well-prepared, accommodations comfortable, and location beautiful, it’s the people that staff the retreat that makes it special. To a person, I felt that they were there for my healing and support throughout my stay.

    It is a truly special place that I cannot recommend highly enough.

    It’s been ten months since visit to Lighthouse, at the time called Light if the Shibipo. I should have left this review months ago but so it goes. I’ll do my best to keep this as a review of the retreat and not of my personal experience with the medicine. That being said, if you’re looking for healing and you’re looking for truth the medicine is for you and I can’t imagine a better place to experience it than Lighthouse.

    This was my first ayahuasca experience so I tried to keep my expectations to a minimum but there were some things that I did expect. I expected the medicine to be intense, I expected the ceremonies to be powerful, and I expected the entire experience to be transformative. What I didn’t expect were all of the things that make this place special.
    First of all, this place and the people here are filled with immeasurable levels of love and compassion, it’s palpable, you can feel it in the air. I know that sounds like romantic non-sense but it’s true. And you get it from everyone you meet; the cooks, the guys working the grounds, the cats and dogs, everyone. Especially Jinho, Christian, and Lady. The interactions and conversations I had with them were among the top highlights of this experience. Jinho is full of so much knowledge and was a constant to source of wisdom and guidance. Christian has such an amazing spirit, it radiates from him and you can’t help but to smile when he’s around. And Lady, I can’t say enough good things about this woman. I had several wonderful conversations with her throughout the week, one in particular stands out. After the third and final ceremony I sat in the Maloka with Lady and we talked for over an hour, it was a powerful moment for me and just as valuable as the ceremony it self. It can’t be overstated that all three of them, and everyone else on site, approached everything with love and compassion.

    As far as the accommodations go, everything was great. The room was spacious and had a fan and a desk with a chair if you’re inclined to write or journal. Private bathrooms as well. If you worry about bugs and mosquitos in the room I can say that I never saw them…in the room.

    The food was vegan which was new for me but all good. Lots of fresh, local fruits and juices, avocados for breakfast and specialty dishes. Same with lunch. I always felt like it was enough so good there.

    The grounds are beautiful and very well kept. I saw lots of colorful butterflies and moths. Nothing terrifying in terms of creepy crawlers. plenty of mosquitos, though I was there during the rainy season ( and experienced one of the most intense thunder storms I’ve ever been through, bonus}.

    Speaking of the people, the Shaman was incredible. He was also full of love and compassion, he had a good sense of humor as well. His Icaros were powerful and I always felt perfectly safe with him guiding me through and protecting me in the spirit world and in that vulnerable position in the physical world as well.
    You get to sit with the shaman the day following each ceremony and talk about your experience. This gives you an opportunity to ask questions and gain guidance. Very valuable.
    The ceremonies didn’t lack and it was great to have both Lady and Christian there as facilitators to lend a hand or give comfort to anyone that needs it.

    It took me three years from the time I decided to take the medicine to actually picking a place. There are a lot of options out there and a lot of things to consider. I actually booked and cancelled at two retreats previous to booking Lighthouse. Once I was there I immediately knew I picked the right spot. Coming out of the second ceremony I was convinced that I didn’t choose this place, this place chose me. That’s something that I truly believe.

    My only regret is that I stayed for only one week rather than two. This was a truly transformative experience in the best possible place. I’ll be back at the end of January. Maybe this time I’ll meet Josh and Ivan

    I cannot speak highly enough of this place and the people in it. From day one until the day we left I felt welcomed and loved. My experience was profound. The shamans amazing. Very positive atmosphere. The team at Lighthouse is genuinely loving.
    Mama ayahausca gave me spiritual breakthrough and brought forth alot of healing and forgiveness. An enormous weight was lifted. I seen and learned things that has changed my life forever. All for the good. I must do a special shout out to a few people…..Lady, such a heartfelt caring soul. Christian, always cheerful and accommodating and full of love. Jino, supportive, insightful and a pleasure to speak to. Joshua, an inspiration you are doing a wonderful thing. Congrats on the Beautiful Baby Boy. Our Shamans were very connected. Maestra Lilia so openhearted and all love. Of course everyone there is amazing. I felt at home.
