At the Nimea Kaya Healing Center, we are dedicated to offering traditional Ayahuasca journeys, working alongside both male and female Shipibo healers.

Through our retreats, we aim to support our guests awaken to their fullest potential by healing their bodies, minds and spirits. Our focus on health, nutrition and self-sustainability in our peaceful and eco-friendly environment lends to a deeper healing process where long lasting positive impacts are made in the lives of our guests. With over 16 years of experience leading Ayahuasca retreats, we have helped support thousands of guests from all over the world transform their lives.
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.

December 3, 2019 at 5:09 amI couldn’t recommend Nimea Kaya enough. What an experience! Take out anything to do with Ayahuasca and you will still go home a different person. The level of care, friendship, openness and freedom I experienced while staying in the beautiful surrounds of the Amazon basin is a feeling I will never forget. If you are anxious about safety when looking for a retreat centre – look no further, this is the place. Your reason for being there is their priority and they will nurture and support that to the absolute full. You will instantly feel it when you receive your greetings at the airport. I made friends for life with the staff and other attendants here and they provide the utmost professional care and encouragement as they have all been in your shoes. Food is gorgeous and the activities are done at the highest level, amazing value for meals, yoga, meditation, reiki, sound healing, advice…Everything about this place is magical and your safety and support is their number 1 priority. A special place and I am so glad I made the journey across the Atlantic to be there. Hope to return one day. Thank you so much.

November 30, 2019 at 5:28 pmI spent 9 days at Nimea Kaya in June 2019 and it was an incredibly peaceful and beautiful experience . Im really pleased they they are receiving all these wonderful reviews, I will never forget the empathy and the kindness of that place . Or the food !
I could never now never imagine going on an Ayhuasca journey anywhere else, I’m no expert as I’ve only visited one retreat but I honestly can’t imagine anyone anywhere else doing it any better. Everything is taken care of from the moment you are collected from the airport and you are in the best of hands with the facilitators, who were all amazing down to the last one.
I researched a lot before choosing to go to Nimeakaya, there are many to choose from and Nimea Kaya are not the cheapest, nor are they the most expensive, but what they are is an incredible retreat run by amazing people like Jill and Matt.
The medicine itself in a solo journey and each one is as individual as the person drinking the brew, I myself have very little memory of my times in ceremony which is very unusual but many things have been revealed to me since then and the version of myself that I managed to realign with during my stay there has probably saved my life.
I couldn’t have wished for a better experience in the jungle with a group of strangers who became like family by the end ..
and they make pancakes for breakfast after ceremony.
Need I say more ?

November 20, 2019 at 8:44 amA friend of mine had recommended Nimea Kaya and the moment I looked at the website, I saw myself being there. It was a gut feeling, probably something you are in contact with anyhow if you are looking into doing an Ayahuasca ceremonial experience. For me the most important thing was the feeling of safety and I had already heard from my friend that the staff was unbelievable. I can honestly say that it feels that I owe my life to some of them. The professional and loving care you are given is the thing that stays with me forever. So do the facilitators who feel like family to me now. Nimea Kaya is the perfect combination of luxury and being deep in the jungle connected to nature. I strongly believe that my experience was shaped by being as close to nature as I could but still have a comfortable bed and some other facilities. The food is unbelievable and every day I wish I had food like there. It certainly added to the experience, kept us safe and energized. The facilities and setup of the entire Retreat Center is so beautiful, so calm, again has the right amount of luxury you need but still feels so connected to nature. I could write a book about the ceremonies, the shamans, the (spirit) animals (!!!), the activities, integration circles and ongoing support of the staff, but I guess, loving, safe, like family, super comfortable (well except what you have come there to go through), very transformative can describe it a little. I 100% recommend Nimea Kaya to everyone. I will never forget my stay and I am forever thankful and still blown away by what happened there. I am currently integrating and very thankful to the guidance for that by the facilitators and the community. (May 2019)

November 5, 2019 at 4:40 pmPutting into words how incredible this retreat is is almost impossible.
I was introduced to Nimea Kaya by a friend who had just returned from his retreat. He couldn’t stop talking about how lovely the team was and how beautiful of an experience he had so naturally I was really curious. I looked everywhere for retreats but the reviews I saw about Nimea Kaya were spectacular so I made the choice to try it out and see for myself. Mind you, I was very VERY nervous for this experience and wasn’t sure I was going to be able to handle it, but after contacting Jill, her warmth and friendliness immediately put me at ease, so I knew I made the right choice.
All I can say is….wow. From the experience, to the cabins you stay in, to the food, and most of all the beautiful, extraordinary facilitators, everything was hands down the most influential and spectacular experience I have had in my life. I do have to mention the food briefly because this was by far the best meals I have had in a long time and I’m not even vegan/vegetarian, but since my stay at NK I have recreated the recipes they cook for you and even decided to become vegetarian myself 🙂
The cabins are so well maintained, super clean and feel like a home away from home. What I loved about this retreat is how they incorporate so many different healing modalities such as reiki, yoga, meditation and integration circles. You never get bored and you learn so much about yoga and all these other spiritual practices.
I have to say overall the best part of this experience (besides the ayahuasca itself!) was the team of facilitators. I have never in my life experienced such warmth and care and kindness from anyone ever before. Whenever I needed them, they were there for me. They taught me things I will take with me for the rest of my life. Most of all, they made me feel so safe. Never once did I feel afraid to be myself or afraid that I wasn’t being taken care of. Words do not describe my love and respect for these people. They truly make you feel like you’re part of a family. Hands down five stars to the facilitators!!
Overall, this retreat was the most life changing experience I have had thus far. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to experience ayahuasca for themselves. You will never regret choosing Nimea Kaya. It will likely be the best choice you ever make 🙂

October 31, 2019 at 4:07 amI stumbled upon Nimea Kaya by way of a previous guests Youtube testimonial that I connected with deeply. I truly felt drawn to NK ever since and upon researching further it only made my conviction stronger as I knew that this was the retreat where I wanted to go to and where I would feel safe. When mother Aya calls, you listen 🙂
The place itself was amazing, like a little forest/jungle area tucked away in a corner of the town. The facilitators made us feel welcomed from the moment we got there. The staff were amazing and the food was super delicious, especially the salads and juices.
It was a 9 day retreat with 4 ceremonies, with 2 pairs of shamans from the Shipibo tribe alternating between the 4 days.
Outside of the ceremonies we watched a couple of documentaries that gave us more insight into the medicine, the Shipibo community and the importance of the Icaros. There were also yoga and meditation sessions, along with group sittings to share our learning and experiences the morning after each ceremony.
I came to NK with some hopes and intentions, and although I may not have had the most profound experiences during the ceremonies (in-spite of having higher doses in each one), I feel the medicine was still working on me subconsciously. You can’t control how the medicine works and each persons experience is different so don’t expect too much. What I can say though is that my experience overall was amazing, we had an amazing group of people including the facilitators that I can now call my friends 🙂
I will probably visit again some time in the future so I can work with the medicine and go deeper.
