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, Umbanda,  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 140 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. Working closely with our teachers in Hawaii and Brazil we provide a space of tradition but also flexibility to suit the needs of every person and group that we serve. We humbly walk this path as students of life, seekers of change, and owners of our actions.

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 Leaders. 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 with love, prayer, tradition and integrity, sourcing high quality materials from sustainable sources from Central America. All of our medicines are sent from our teachers in Brazil and Hawaii.
• The most important part of any medicine experience is 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, one on one sessions during the weekend and also provide supportive resources for our participants when they go home.
• Our Guides have been taught how to activate and amplify the Medicine through presence and music.  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, and to call upon our allies both in nature and in spirit to assist us in our development. The music serves as a compass to bring us back our hearts. Whether it be traditional pontos, the call of the flute or powerful icaros (medicine songs), the music, prayer, and spirits will be an ally to those who are present with their transformation. 
• 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.
• 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 apart of the same universal chain of interconnectedness! 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 (2-10 participants)
• 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 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.

For our New York offerings, we have a beautiful property in the woods that we hold our retreats in. We are blessed with 60 acres of forest land, with hiking trails, waterfalls and a large pond. It is completely remote, and a perfect opportunity to give yourself to solitude.  Because we host small retreats, we are able to offer a tenderness and care that births an intimacy of relationship. The better we know you the more we can curate the experience to your needs and ultimately the more you will get out of the experience.

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!
