Our Selva Spirit Association NGO focuses on raising the awareness in the preservation of shamanic traditions, reforestation projects as well as multiple health programs implemented in the surrounding communities.
Shamanic Retreats:
Our shamanic retreats are designed to accommodate each individual on their path of awakening and healing. We offer a series of three or four Ayahuasca ceremonies per retreat with a local Shipibo Shamans, also known as a Curandero or Maestro. Our healers have been well established in the shamanic ayahuasca practice for several decades. Our medicine is brewed with only the ayahuasca vine and chacruna leaves. Our ceremonies are facilitated with the utmost integrity and responsibility. There are always four to six of our staff members in every ceremony helping our guests through their healing journeys with the sacred medicine. Drinking the ayahuasca medicine during ceremonies allows the participants to expand their consciousness to a multi-faceted universe. Ayahuasca takes the individual through a process of cleansing the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. The individual journeys through a series of visions often receiving profound realizations that lead them to a place of healing, understanding and balance within themselves.
During the course of the retreat we offer facilitated group sharing and one on one counseling. Our groups are no larger than 14 people so we may accommodate a more intimate and personal setting during ceremony. Our ceremonial Maloca is very spacious, providing a comfortable environment for the profound experience. It is situated in the midst of beautiful native plants and trees where where natures orchestra graciously joins us in our sacred ceremonies.
We provide for our guests with herbal and floral baths with a unique blend of plants and flowers from the surrounding jungle after each ceremony. The plant baths help to wash away any negative energies stagnant in the body and help prepare the participant for a more profound healing with the plant medicine Ayahuasca. The invigorating and cleansing bath will help rejuvenate your spirit.

January 7, 2019 at 12:57 amI first visited Nimea Kaya in July 2016. It was my first trip to South America and my first experience working with Ayahuasca. From the moment I was picked up at the airport, I felt safe, comfortable, and cared for in the hands of Nimea Kaya’s staff.
Upon arriving at the retreat center I was immediately drawn to the land and how carefully it had been cared for. We were fed right away, one of many healthy, whole meals we would gather for in our time at the center.
The housing was modest and perfect, thoughtfully designed so that each guest can have the most immersive experience in the jungle possible.
The Ayahuasca ceremonies themselves were handled with tremendous care and attention to detail. The facilitators did everything they could to give us each the space to explore ourselves and to work with the medicine, and if we ever needed to lean on them—for a pillow, for a walk outside, for comfort, they were there to help us with our journey.
All of the shamans I worked with during my time at the center were powerful. They led ceremony with tremendous grace, and their abilities in helping the medicine to do its work cannot be over stated. They are, truly, some of the most beautiful people I have ever encountered.
As the days stretched on at Nimea Kaya, I felt nurtured on every level. The facility is run with complete competency and ease, and everyone who works there—from the owners to the Shipibo people the center employs—approaches their work with kindness, patience and love.
Between ceremonies there many nourishing classes to engage in—from art classes, to meditation workshops and yoga. The center was an immersive experience and in that care and support the sometimes beautiful, sometimes ecstatic, sometimes terrifying work of Ayahuasca could be done.
From my time in Peru I forged multiple close friendships that are still important to me. I have been to other centers since Nimea Kaya, but this center just does everything better.
If you’re hearing the call to work with the medicine, this is a very supportive environment to do so.

January 6, 2019 at 11:01 pmI initially chose Nimea Kaya because the vibe just felt right, and I am so glad I did. This is an excellent place to drink ayahuasca. It is a safe and loving environment which is key when working with a medicine like ayahuasca. The shamans are authentic and take their healing responsibilities very seriously and you can feel their love radiating from them during ceremony. This place has provided the most profound experiences in my life and I recommended it to anyone who is in search of healing and transformation.

January 6, 2019 at 7:56 pmMy time at Nimea Kaya was definitely a defining moment for where I am today. I attended Feb 2016, fresh out of graduating from Uni, and today I reflect upon the journey since. The whole experience at Nimea Kaya opened me to aspects of myself I had forgotten, allowing me to step further into my whole capacity as a human here with this earth. Each component of the retreat caters for a safe, and deep transformation to occur. Our group bonded in a way I had never experienced, and everyone involved with Nimea Kaya holds the best intentions at heart for opening their space for so many others to enter and leave only more connected to their purpose. I am so grateful for my time at Nimea Kaya and feel very honored to have this part of my journey. I feel blessed to be returning shortly. Love.

January 6, 2019 at 4:50 pmI attended Nimea Kaya in November of 2016. As soon as I arrived I was greeted by the warmest and most loving people I’ve ever met. I cant say enough about how amazing this place is. They provide such a safe and loving environment. The shaman are absolutely magical and the staff went above and beyond helping and making people feel comfortable throughout the entire experience. I saw so much amazing change and healing amongst all of the guest during my stay. I grew and learned so much spiritually and emotionally. Not only from my experiences during ceremonies but also from everything else they have to offer, from the yoga to the amazing food. The bond you grow with the rest of the guests is also so invaluable. I attended with my closest childhood friend who has been back again and will soon be going back a third time to volunteer as a facilitator. My work with this incredible medicine is far from over. I have so much more healing and growth to do but it definitely kickstarted my journey. I look forward to my next visit and and am so grateful to have discovered this medicine and Nimea Kaya. The work they are doing to help heal and expand the greater consciousness is incredible.

January 6, 2019 at 2:54 pmI attended a retreat at Nimea Kaya in June of 2016, and since then have had time to reflect on my time there and compare with other centres that I’ve had the opportunity to attend. Nimea Kaya stands out in my mind as being the most exceptional experience to date. There are many wonderful things I can discuss about the centre, the amazing volunteers, fresh and healthy food, incredible shamans, but the thing that stands out to me is that the lovely people who run the centre do so in a way that allows the attendees the freedom to explore their individual journey without exerting control or influence over them. They have created an environment that is naturally respectful and gentle, without the need for strict rules and regulations. It is a wonderfully supportive place and I couldn’t recommend it enough.
