Marosa Healing Center is a family-led, Shipibo-run plant medicine retreat for those seeking deep healing, personal transformation, and a genuine connection to traditional Amazonian medicine. Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, emotional challenges, or a call toward spiritual alignment, we offer a grounded, supportive environment to do that work safely and intentionally.
Our retreat is designed for people who want more than a surface-level experience. Here, you’re not just attending ceremonies—you’re stepping into a living tradition. Guests are welcomed into a small, heart-centered community where healing unfolds through ayahuasca ceremonies, plant diets, and daily connection with the jungle.
We intentionally keep our groups small (maximum 14 guests) so each person receives real attention, care, and space for integration. Accommodations are simple, private, and comfortable—created to support rest, reflection, and deep internal work.
Rather than focusing on luxury amenities, we prioritize the quality of care. Our team includes highly experienced Shipibo healers with decades of practice, guiding each process with precision, integrity, and compassion.
This may not be the right place if you’re seeking a luxury retreat or a casual experience. But if you feel called to work deeply with authentic Shipibo medicine—especially through traditional plant dieting—you’ll find a meaningful and supportive home here.
Retreats begin every Sunday and Wednesday, with flexible scheduling based on your intentions. Whether you’re joining for a shorter stay or committing to longer, immersive work, we’re here to meet you where you are.
Marosa Healing Center is led by Maestra Angela Sanchez Rios, a highly respected Shipibo healer with over 25 years of experience working with ayahuasca and Amazonian plant medicine.
Known for her warmth, presence, and deep level of care, Maestra Angela works closely with each guest, tending not only to the ceremonial space but to the full healing process. Her approach includes a range of traditional practices such as plant vapor baths, personalized plant remedies, and the preparation and guidance of master plant diets.
Her work is rooted in both strength and compassion—holding each person with the same level of attention and care she would offer her own family.

April 5, 2025 at 11:10 amThe days we spent at Marosa were truly some of the best of my life.
Now, a little less dramatic and romantic—let me be more practical: we spent 8 days at the center, and our experience was absolutely wonderful. From the very first moment you arrive, you realize that the immersion and connection with the jungle are unmatched. It brings you back to the purest essence of being human—reborn in nature’s womb… surrounded by lush vegetation, stunning birds with vibrant plumage and songs, soft white sand that’s perfect for walking barefoot all day, and nearby spots with streams and water to bathe in or simply contemplate.
The facilities are basic but very well maintained. There are several shared spaces, including the dining area, the ceremonial Maloca, and a resting zone with hammocks and rocking chairs. The cabins are set apart from the main areas, which is perfect for relaxation or going inward. The beds are very comfortable and the sheets are always clean. Bathrooms are cleaned several times a day and, although there are occasional interruptions in water supply, the staff is quick to respond and sort things out. Keep in mind that the showers use natural (unheated) water.
The ceremonies are exquisite—intense and inviting deep work with the medicine. Maestra Angela, Maestro Elias, and the rest of their family offer a truly loving presence and it’s clear they have deep experience in the path of shamanism. They live in absolute harmony with the surrounding environment, and there is a deep respect for nature and its rhythms in every corner. It’s the ideal setting to heal, to deepen your connection with the plant, and to receive its many gifts and teachings.

The environment is perfect for rest and introspection, offering peace and harmony. The food, delicious and lovingly prepared, strictly follows the Ayahuasca diet, supporting the healing process.
I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking healing and a deeper connection with their true essence.
