At the Nimea Kaya Healing Center, we are dedicated to offering traditional Ayahuasca journeys, working alongside both male and female Shipibo healers. Our Shipibo healers carry decades of wisdom and knowledge through working with master teacher plants. 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.

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.

October 21, 2019 at 10:44 amI am very happy to have chosen Nimea Kaya for my first Amazon experience with Ayahuasca medicine. I attended August 3rd-11th 2019. I would absolutely choose NK again and I do hope to return. I heard about NK via word of mouth and was able to speak to a prior participant about their positive experience. My interest in Nimea Kaya further grew after looking over the website and through email exchanges with Jill. All of my questions very answered with patience and clarity and the photos suggested a very nurturing, balanced and safe place. Once arriving at NK I felt like I was truly among family. And my hopes were confirmed. This feeling of being with family included everyone at the Center- all of the Staff, the Shamans and even the Plants and Animals. The food was amazing and so healthy. The ceremonies were held with such integrity and love. I really liked the balance of masculine and feminine with both a male female Shaman. The flower baths were beautiful. The activities each day were enjoyable and supported the overall experience. From the moment I signed up I felt nurtured, guided and supported. Even now I continue to be. I appreciate Nimea Kaya’s focus on integration as well. Nimea Kaya so lovingly facilitated a shift in my Soul and I am grateful. I could not have asked for a better experience. I can without reservation recommend Nimea Kaya as a excellent Center for working with the Medicine.
With deep sincerity, Pearish

October 2, 2019 at 3:02 pmI have chosen Nimea Kaya retreat for the second time based on my previous experience, which I loved. It not only changed myself, but the services in the center got even better than when I was at this place last time (July 2018). That means, that it took only a year (July 2019) to provide even deeper and more fulfilling experience.
Words cannot describe the experience and how much it has changed me and helped me to deal with my past and current state of mind. The process continues and I know the last retreat was truly not the last, the healing will continue and I am looking forward to meeting the wonderful people, who are at the place to take care of the needs of the guests.
Again I have to say, that the place was just perfect, from accommodation, food and all services connected with the healing process. I cannot recommend this place enough and from what I have heard from the other participants, who had experience with other facilities, this was truly the best.

I have been to nimea kaya twice. If I feel called to do the medicine again, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back. I was afraid my first time as a solo female traveler, since you hear a lot of scary stories. But I felt safe from the moment I received the first email from Jill.
Nimea Kaya is one of the safest and most loving retreat places I’ve ever visited. They go above and beyond to exceed your expectations.
All the staff members are literally there by your side to take care of you and make your healing journey safe and as comfortable as possible. My life has changed for the better in ways I can’t even put into words. If you are looking for a place to do plant medicine look no further. Nimea Kaya has everything you need to find healing, from the facility to the staff and the shamans . The food is delicious. Yoga with Matt is a journey of its own kind melting you right into your heartspace. The afternoon meditations are blissful.
The way they have the schedule set, is a very thought out process. It makes you experience overall healing mind, body and spirit.

September 28, 2019 at 4:53 pmI visited Nimea Kaya from June 26 to July 4, 2019, and it changed my life. The staff were absolute superheroes. They made us feel safe and cared-for the entire time, especially during the ceremonies. The facilitators are not only well-trained but incredibly kind and supportive. They created the perfect atmosphere to allow for real, meaningful growth for all of us. Jill and the entire team at Nimea Kaya truly care about helping you on your journey, and the Shipibo shamans they work with are miracle workers. I don’t speak Spanish and was therefore unable to speak with the shamans, but through their actions during and after each ceremony, they displayed a level of compassionate care that is hard to describe.
The food is mind-blowing. I’m typically eat a meat-heavy diet, but the vegan food prepared at Nimea Kaya was so fresh and nourishing that I didn’t miss meat in the slightest. Since returning home I’ve stuck close to Nimea Kaya’s diet recommendations, and I’ve never felt better.
The activities outside of the ceremonies were beautiful. Yoga, meditation, immersion in nature, interacting with local artisans, a day trip to a local village: it all worked side-by-side with the medicine.
My experience at Nimea Kaya was profound, and if I have the chance to go again, I’ll grab it with both hands.
