Lotus Vine Journeys represents a fusion of two powerful ancient traditions, the Buddhist Lotus and the Ayahuasca Vine. By combining plant spirit medicine with heart-focused practices, we believe our retreats offer a genuine way to accelerate your healing and awakening process. We offer full immersion,14 -day Ayahuasca retreats that include daily yoga, Buddhist meditation practices and 8 ceremonies led by our beautiful Shipibo Maestro.

The core of our work is deeply healing, transformative and life changing. We provide safe and nurturing retreats where our guests can comfortably experience the healing powers of Ayahuasca in its traditional Amazonian setting. We also explore the ancient wisdom of the dharma and Buddhist based psychology throughout the retreat. We provide a loving and dedicated team of staff so that each guest can receive an accelerated spiritual, emotional, mental and physical cleanse of their entire system. It is the teachings of the Buddha that provides Lotus Vine Journeys with the ethical grounding and overall framework for each retreat. Both the founders and the facilitators have years of experience with Buddhist based principles and meditation teachings.

We base our retreats on the outskirts of Tarapoto, Peruat the Puma Rinri Amazon Lodge. It’s an award winning, eco-lodge located one hour from Lima by plane. It’s an area of true ecological and geographical beauty in the mountain rainforest that flow into the Amazon. This spectacular region offers stunning views, waterfalls, breezes and colorful sunsets. Our beautiful location provides unsurpassed levels of comfort for a jungle experience. We offer luxuries more typical of a hotel environment. It’s truly the best of both worlds!

If you’re looking for a supportive, loving, nurturing, beautiful and safe place to experience the healing of ayahuasca, then you’ve surely found it. When I received an email from Spring saying she was starting a meditation and ayahuasca retreat in Peru, I just knew this was something I needed to do. Being a first timer with plant medicine (knowing nothing about it really) but knowing Spring as one of my favorite dharma teachers in the US, I fully trusted that this was going to be the right retreat for me.

Spring and Janeth have taken great consideration for planning every detail of this retreat, from the beautiful eco lodge location, finding the most powerful shaman & medicine, the delicious food, healing yoga, meditation and dharma teachings before ceremonies, to the integration circles afterwards. It was also so helpful to have 1:1 and group consultations with the maestros and talks on how to integrate and take the teachings home after the retreat. Everything is so well planned and thought out that your every need is taken care of and your healing and learning continue long after the retreat ends.

I also really appreciated that there were 8 ceremonies, this made for a more powerful experience for me. I have been a long time meditator and have never gotten to the level of expansion through just my sitting practice or on long meditation retreats. My heart and mind were blown wide open, in a good way, and I couldn’t have gotten there with mediation alone. I am so grateful that Spring has decided to gift the world with these healing retreats. My mind and heart have been healed in ways that I didn’t even know were possible and for that I am eternally grateful to the medicine, the maestros, Pancha Mama, and the Lotus Vine family! I will definitely be back for another retreat! 🙂

The type of people that Spring attracts to her retreats are some of the most beautiful, awake, and open hearted people I have ever met and fallen in love with! If you find yourself feeling the call of mother ayahuasca, I suggest you listen. Listen to the call, go with your intuition and don’t hesitate to choose Lotus Vine Journeys…you will not be disappointed!

I had the two most beautiful and life changing weeks at Pumanriri with Spring and Janeth in May 2015!
Coming all the way from Norway and as I had never been to this kind of retreat before I am so grateful that I choose Lotus Vine Journeys as my facilitators. I felt 100% safe and cared for the whole time by Spring and Janeth, and I could not have asked for a better introduction to ayahuasca.
The 8 ceremonies are beautiful arranged with pre- meditation and a nice atmosphere so we all could get the most out of our own experiences. The Shipibo shamans/maestros are a huge part of the whole experience and Diogenes and Anita who I was so lucky to have lead our ceremonies has forever helped me improved my quality of life!
The lodges themselves and the surrounding are so beautiful, the food nutritious and delicious and the staff at the lodge are very friendly and kind.
I would highly recommend Lotus Vine Journey to anyone, and am myself returning with some friends in July 2017!

“The Medicine has been the greatest gift that I could have given to myself. I had a wide variety of experiences that have driven me deeper inside. There is a lightness and happiness more than I ever experienced. Spring and Janeth are so loving and supportive. This has been a very beautiful, life changing experience. I am grateful” Misha – USA

I had a wonderful two-week retreat with Spring and Janeth facilitating the Ayahuasca retreat at the Puma Rinri Lodge near Tarapoto, Peru. They were both kind, professional, and highly experienced at holding the space and assisting the Shipibo Shamans that assisted Spirit Ayahuasca in our healing journeys. The location of the retreat was amazing! The views of the mountains and the flowing river, and jungle flora and fauna was breathtaking! The rooms were a mix of rustic charm and modern conveniences, exactly what I wanted and received 🙂

The food that Janeth carefully organized for the retreat was not only delicious but allowed flexibility to cater to a persons specific dietary needs to help facilitate their healing. The Shamans, Maestro Diogenes and Maestra Anita were lovely, caring and compassionate people who were always around to chat with and offer loving support. Extra bonuses of having yoga sessions and evening Buddhist meditation and local day trips to nearby sites were also wonderful additions. I would highly recommend Lotus Vine Journeys, and hope to join these wonderful people again.

I was really interested in trying Ayahuasca to deal with some serious emotional problems. I had been meditating for several years but I still felt stuck especially in my heart. I have been in therapy for years to heal from my childhood, which was very physically and emotionally abusive. I think my therapy and meditation practice have helped a lot however I still felt really blocked. Prior to coming on retreat I hadn’t been able to cry for over 10 years and I felt very disconnected from everyone in my life especially my girlfriend. This retreat exceeded my expectations on every level. At first I thought 8 ceremonies would be way too much but now I see how much I needed it. I think the environment and the focus on compassion really worked on me. By the 5th ceremony my heart finally opened and wow what a release! I really started to forgive people and begin to allow others to love me. I cried a lot. It’s sounds kind of cheesy but I feel really different. Spring is a life -saver, what an incredible teacher and facilitator. The meditations before our ceremonies were my life- line because the ceremonies were powerful. The people at Lotus Vine have so much heart, man it’s inspiring. I am a better person now and I am planning on coming to the March retreat as well. Good luck in your search.
