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.

March 11, 2025 at 7:59 pmI’m immensely grateful for my time at Marosa healing center. I spent 11 days doing a dieta prescribed by the Maestra based on my issues. This place certainly prioritizes healing and nature based cures. The shamans are well versed in plant medicine and help folks with specific issues. My stay was comfortable, I learnt during my time to be respectful of the forest, as we are deep in it, I learnt to ask for permission from the plants and the animals that inhabit this place, as this is how the Shipibo people also conduct themselves: This is not a psychedelic getaway, but a place where people with important healing work to do, come seek help from the plants. I found the support of the shamans, the medicine; the icaros and the ceremonies to be very authentic. I have left with many many blessings and clarity of my issues, the plant continues to work couple of weeks after the last dose it seems. All three Shamans had their strengths and helped with the healing in different ways., they see the pain and sing to us specific icaros to help release them.
The support of Mila the facilitator, Tony the manager and Markham the Shaman in training (his powerful icaros) was crucial to my experience there. Each of them showed up in their way and supported this first time experience to make it the best it could have been. I have nothing but gratitude for their dedication and presence; whether it was logistical or integration work the day after (with the amazing Mila) or support during ceremonies, I also want to thank the folks at the kitchen, and other helpers, all Part of their family.
I felt safe to rely on them; I believe I purged and cleansed a lot of hurt and negativity I was carrying around for years and I am yearning to go back and sit with the medicine again: I’m in awe of the power of mother nature and all the ways in which she tends to help. And this center has been a crucial part of me realizing it. I recommend this place for anyone who is serious about healing, willing to endure the process of dieting, living simple, and following the rhythms of the shipibo folks. The key is to be a humble seeker and not be greedy. With some unlearning of these city ways, you will leave with many gifts and perhaps ask specific questions and find your answers too!

February 22, 2025 at 1:00 pmWhat a beautiful place Maestra Angela and her family run with deep professionalism and true love.
This is local family center, and IMHO it is usually better to get the Medicina and the related services directly from a Shipibo family, without intermediaries.
Thank you so much my friends.
This is it !
