Our next Integration Call will be offered on March 29th, at 7 PM. Here, we discuss Plant Medicine, spirituality, and personal development. Please message us for the link- all are welcome to come and join us!

Please e-mail us for more information.

Our mission is to provide a safe, honest and sincere space for people of all walks of life to come and heal. We believe in the combined power of plant medicine, community and emotional vulnerability. These key elements are the fertile soil for beautiful transformation to occur in our lives!

Maharani Medicine  first opened its doors in 2018– since then, we have served at over 110 retreats. We are proud to be a culturally diverse hub for seekers of all kinds. We are honored to be of service to anyone with a desire to grow, learn and heal regardless of background, age or creed.

Here are some things that set us apart from other groups:

• Our groups are ALWAYS intimate & small. We will never serve a group larger than ten people. This fosters a sense of community between participants & staff, creating a safe, familial atmosphere.
• We keep a supportive staff-to-participant ratio so we can all feel fully supported in this intense journey. We strive to have 3-4 facilitators on board in addition to our Medicine Woman. Our team members are humble volunteers with ample personal experience with plant medicine. Each facilitator brings their own unique abilities to retreats.
• Our medicine is brewed “in house”, sourcing high quality materials from sustainable sources from Central America. We brew one jar at a time, prepped especially for each upcoming retreat.
• We place a strong emphasis on Integration. Integration means applying the lessons learned during ceremony to everyday life. Integration is what separates recreational use of medicines from ceremonial & intentional use! It is very important we honor ourselves and our medicines in this way. We offer multiple integration circles during the weekend and also provide supportive resources for our participants when they go home.
• Our Guides have been blessed with immense musical gifts that activate and amplify our Medicine. Most specifically, our participants often laud their technique at moving the energies as integral to their experience. Many Plant Medicine traditions suggest that music is the vessel which carries the ceremonial energy. The music harmonizes with the medicine and serves as a “Lighthouse” that helps each participant navigate their internal shadows & light alike. The music serves as a compass to bring us back our hearts. Whether it be the mysterious sound of the steel drum, the call of the flute or powerful icaros (medicine songs), we are confident these voices will sing you home.
• We are officially non-profit & church. Spirituality is very important to us, but we will never be dogmatic in our beliefs. While our ceremonies are spiritually based, they are very universalist as well. Folks with secular beliefs will not have issues connecting to the ceremony experience.
• Above all else, we strive to “keep it real”. It can feel extremely overwhelming to find the right practitioner, modality or healing space when we live in such a fast-paced world. We are happy to provide a simple, organic and humble space where you can just be yourself. We believe that everyone is a student in this space— we are all learning from one another at all times! We hope you will join us in this incredible opportunity to unravel & remember who we truly are.

Our Retreats are for you if…

• You are looking for a retreat that is not overwhelming in size.
• You are seeking a supportive community to connect with in the long-term– Whether it be for integration, friendship, spirituality or medicinal purposes!
• You are unable to travel to South America or commit to a longer term retreat.
• You are ready to commit to four weeks of Dieta- the physical and mental cleansing that prepares us for ceremony.
• You feel a profound urge to become a better human, work on trauma, process challenging emotions, foster a deeper connection with Nature or expand your relationship with Spirit/Source/The Universe.

We are a “mobile ministry”. This means that we split our time between Upstate New York and the high desert of Arizona. We feel the call to be in service to both sides of this country. We also hope to someday soon travel to other states and offer our retreats in more locations.

In Arizona, we are hosted by community members on their properties. For our New York offerings, we have a beautiful property in the woods that we hold our retreats in. Because we host small retreats, we don’t have the need to have a large retreat center. This means that our accommodations are humble and communally shared.

Please message us if you’d like more information about our retreats or upcoming schedule. We are always available to talk about this work if you have any questions. Thanks so much for reading and many blessings!

Vision Statement

Our vision is to become compassionate, pure, healthy, and unconditionally loving people. Through prayer, meditation and the foundational support of our ancestors and their medicines, we humbly walk this path.

In a world shrouded by illusion, our Medicine bursts through the shadows as a shining light. We call upon the guidance of our sacred plant teachers to shed hardened layers around our heart built by the suffering we have endured.

Through dance and song, we shatter resistance keeping us from a righteous and all pervading Spiritual Relationship with life. Our ancient Amazonian Medicine combined with communal celebration yields profound healing for our selves and the entire planet.

We strongly believe in the Great Spirit that dwells within all living beings. This Spirit is alive, deeply caring and calling us home to the Present Moment. We embrace all religions and creeds. All roads lead to the same One, loving and ever-present Being.

Our Mission is to provide a sacred container, as well as education and support for those who are called to Plant Medicine. Ceremony is a state of mind that can embraced every single moment of our lives. We seek to help others cultivate this way of being through integrating spiritual experience.

We also believe that human connection is a powerful gateway to the soul. Maharani Medicine offers a community space for all people to share and grow.

We honor ourselves by truly integrating our Plant Medicine journeys. In choosing to remember Love on the daily, we help the world heal. It is our prayer that we can support people, whether they are preparing for ceremony, sitting in ceremony or integrating afterward. We want every person we meet to thrive and find great internal success. We invite you to join us!

  This was my first time sitting in ceremony with this group, and from the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed, safe, and truly seen. I had done ceremonies before mostly with the same facilitator so stepping into a new space brought me outside of my comfort zone and stirred up some nerves. I came with a trusted friend who had sat with them before, which helped ease that transition.
  I came for the ayahuasca, but what I experienced was so much more. The group (complete strangers at first), felt incredibly aligned, supportive, and real. There was a depth of connection that naturally formed and made the entire experience even more powerful.
  Eliana and Austin opened their home with warmth and intention, and the entire team of facilitators played a vital role in holding the space. The level of care was felt in every detail from the nourishing meals to the grounded, attentive support throughout the weekend. When I was really in it, I was met with compassion, presence, and genuine care not just from one person, but from multiple facilitators who were fully there to support the process.
  This was a deeply transformative experience that I will always carry with me. I would wholeheartedly recommend this space to anyone who feels called to do this work. I can’t wait to go back and sit in ceremony again!!

  I have now sat with medicine twice, both experiences with the Maharani medicine circle and 1 year apart from each other.
  For me, both experiences have been monumental throughout my self development in facing all the burdens I have carried throughout my life. The support and guidance from facilitators within that journey have been held with such Care and leadership. In order for me to get to the root cause of what my shadows needed attention on I needed to trust. I really wanted to get to know myself in the deepest ways possible and this community of medicine allowed me the opportunity to confidently show up with vulnerability and acceptance. It can be intimidating but with the guidance of shadow work and honest direct input, I now understand how healing this path truly can be.
  By surrendering to the process I am able to look back and have so much gratitude for the guidance of Maharani medicine.
  I also love the fact that there are follow-up integration calls so I don’t feel forgotten even after the experiences and integrating back into the world. I feel the value of this work is so important and look forward to expanding my curiosity of self while in the proper hands of this lovely community. So much love and gratitude for their offerings of medicine and community!✨

  I have been working with Maharani Medicine since Feb 2023 with exception of a few gaps. I have seen them multiple times & seen them progress and evolve in their facilitation along with their ability to deeply connect with the participants. I can genuinely say that my first ceremony experience changed my entire existence. Not only because of the medicine but because of the container and the support the feeling of connection and oneness I had that first night.. which was only possible because of the way the team setup our evening. I am forever grateful to Eliana for the work that she does she is a literal gem and her voice… the way the music flows through her nothing short of angelic. I was very nervous for my first time I had no idea what I was getting myself into.. the whole crew made me feel so welcome and supported the entire weekend – and this is every single time I have sat with them. It can be daunting to find the right circle and people who are operating in integrity in this space so I’m beyond blessed I was able to connect with these beautiful people who truly want to help others. They also provide integration support which is very helpful and Austin makes some really goooooood food lol my only recommendation for ceremony is with Maharani Medicine you will get soo much out of the experience.. healing, connection, community, and an unforgettable experience & I also met my now best friend at one of their ceremonies the love and respect I have for Eliana & Austin runs eternal. This circle truly changed my life.

  My love for Eliana and Austin is nothing short of deep respect, awe, and admiration. I was blessed with the opportunity to attend my first Ayahausca Retreat in October when they traveled to Northeast Ohio and brought their medicine, altar, and courage. I was honestly terrified going in, not personally knowing Maharani or the other facilitators. When I first inquired about the retreat, I was able to hop on the phone with Austin. He took the time to answer my questions, offer encouragement and shared his story with the medicine and Maharani. I felt his sincerity and it was enough for me to commit.

  The ceremony itself was life changing. They whole heartedly offered prayers, intention setting, sacred space, music, songs of spirit, guidance, insight, vulnerability, laughs, smiles, ritual, integration and reverence for the plants.

  To me, Eliana and Austin are called to this path and are devoted to the medicine. Who better to receive from than individuals who are consciously doing the work and showing up for themselves and community even when its hard.

  I have been able to stay connected to Eliana post ceremomy. Shes been a guiding light and sounding board. She takes the time to drop in, listen, and offer any messages coming through. Her and Austin are definitely people you want in your corner cheering you on ✨️

  This previous weekend was my third ceremony sitting within the span of one year. Through an amazing soul: my soul brother, I was introduced to the Lighthouse and Maharani Medicine. I have been called each and every time so strongly and deeply.
  I cannot even begin to express in words how powerful the medicine is. How powerful the space that is held for us. How powerful these beautiful people are. The hospitality, the instant connections, the warmth and safety – it is all undeniably a place (the only place) that has healed such incredibly deep wounds. Without the community, ceremony, facilitators, hosts, Eliana and Austin, the land, the dedication and love, care and compassion continuously provided by these amazing beings, such power could not exist. Anyone can meet the medicine, but without everything that goes along with it, I believe the healing could not be as profound as it has been each and every time. I truly cannot describe the indescribable, but I hope my words can at least carry through this message to encourage anyone and everyone who hears her call, that this beautiful place will provide nothing but love, safety, and the purest essence of compassion and light. This place is my family from now until the next life that I was so humbly shown. Trust the process and trust yourself. Trust the Spirit. Trust the healing. Aho!
