At Sapan Inka, we believe participating in an Ayahuasca retreat is a powerful opportunity for profound energetic and spiritual cleansing and healing. An Ayahuasca experience can be immensely favorable for those embarking on a journey of transformation and spiritual development. Our unique model is a conscious synthesis of the millenary wisdom of Amazonian medicine and the principles of depth and transpersonal psychology. We are not a center for spiritual tourism or mere Ayahuasca experiences; we are a dedicated space for exploring the deep psyche, practicing ancestral Amazonian medicine, and supporting transformative processes.

We distinguish ourselves through our philosophy of minimal interference and the unwavering shamanic and spiritual support provided in our ceremonies. Our commitment to ethics and professionalism is paramount. We believe an Ayahuasca ceremony is an opening to the reality of the soul and a world of sacred images. For this reason, we practice minimal interference during your experience of expanded states of consciousness, allowing the healing intelligence of Ayahuasca and your own inner being to guide the process. This is not abandonment or a lack of warmth; it is a conscious act of respect and trust in your innate capacity to heal and in the divine power of the medicine itself.

The transformative power of Ayahuasca is fully realized through a structured integration process. At Sapan Inka, our psychotherapeutic integration is more than a simple conversation; it is a rigorous process designed to help you assimilate, process, and effectively integrate your experiences. We provide a space for you to understand the intricate symbolic language of your visions, converting profound insights into tangible and lasting change. This is how the spiritual revelations from the ceremonies are bridged with your daily life, ensuring the journey leads to genuine personal growth.

To navigate this journey, rigorous preparation is essential. An Ayahuasca experience can be incredibly challenging, and its potency demands thorough mental, emotional, and spiritual readiness. It is crucial for participants to understand that this is not a shortcut, but a deep and profound inner work that requires commitment and maturity.

Given the serious nature of our work, we are aware that our approach may not satisfy everyone’s expectations. Those who seek a more superficial, less confrontational experience or group activities may find other centers more suitable. Our model is designed for individuals committed to holistic healing and willing to embark on a serious psychospiritual path. This is why our groups are intentionally small, to ensure the personalized and ethical attention that is the cornerstone of our years of experience and dedication.

At Sapan Inka, our commitment is to support you on your journey, respecting the authenticity of your process and providing a safe and professional environment for a genuine transformation.

    I did the 5 day retreat with Erik and Nilda in April 2022 and it was an experience I’ll never forget. I feel like I got 10 years of therapy in 1 night. As a therapist, I really wanted to try the Aya experience with another therapist and it definitely did not disappoint. Erik’s presence was calm yet also inviting.
    I also loved how small the group was. I went by myself and felt like by the end I had developed a close bond with my group, which made the experience even better.

    If you’re reading this review, then you already know this is the place for you! Erik and Nilda are so kind and the best teachers to guide and provide support for you on this journey. They really care about you – making sure you’re comfortable and there to provide guidance before and after the ceremonies. The retreat is purposefully intimate which is what you want. Their home is incredibly comfortable – your own bed and bathroom! I didn’t see other places that provided this. You know they really live this life – it’s not just a business. I’m so grateful to have had this opportunity to have done this with them – the lessons I’ve learned will truly last a lifetime.

    Safe and enlightening first experience with Ayahuasca. Erik and Nilda were very kind, helpful, and responsive.

    I have been working on integrating my experiences since the retreat and have felt more aligned and centered with myself and my truth. I have found myself taking action steps to help make progress towards having a quieter mind, a more present heart/head/soul, and a deeper respect and appreciation for my personal time. I also have been able to put a lot of perspective regarding my strengths, weaknesses, and areas in which I could grow.

    I have found myself setting better boundaries, approaching time with a more sacred view, putting fear in perspective, and operating from a more courageous and aligned sense of self.

    An incredible experience. Thank you for opening up my mind, heart and soul in a safe and home-y space.

    I attended a five-day ayahuasca etreat at Sapan Inka in June 2022. It was such an amazing experience. Nilda and Eric are wonderful, Nild is a great cook and eric accompanies her wonderflly. They will make sure you are comfortable and you have your privacy. Its an individual unique experience and everyone will receive as they expect. One should definitely try it, you won’t be disappointed.

    I did the 6 day retreat which consisted of two Ayahuasca and one San Pedro ceremony in addition, a trip to Machu Picchu, which I thoroughly enjoyed and its an experience I will cherish. Communication between myself and Erik and Nilda was timely and smooth. They set up my transportation from my place to the retreat and back when my time was done, so there really wasn’t anything to worry about. The retreat is located in Urubamba which is about a 1 hour and 30 minute drive from Cusco, the scenery and the local people you see are beautiful so be sure to take pictures.
    The retreat itself is set in the middle of nature, surrounded by mountains, with a garden courtyard and beautifully built buildings. The two Ayahuasca ceremonies were visually stunning and intense, and I learned and am still learning from those experiences. I got to share my experience with four other awesome people from around the world over delicious meals that Erik and Nilda provided us. Erik was very helpful during our conversations in helping me interpret my trips I had. The San Pedro ceremony helped me integrate my Ayahuasca experiences and connected me with my surroundings on our hike up the mountain towards the ancient ruins. Overall I had a tremendously great time that I’ll never forget. For myself it was worth the investment.
