Sapan Inka Retreat Center

Sacred Valley, Cusco, Perú

SAPAN INKA 

If you are looking for a deep and transformative ayahuasca experience or a shamanic healing experience, maybe you can be part of one of our Ayahuasca Retreats. In our Retreat Center there is a real integration between Amazon wisdom and Psychospiritual Practice. Our commitment is to help and guide you in a journey to the spiritual dimension, and you will be able to experience mental clarity, emotional balance and inner growth.

These are our retreats: Sapan Inka Ayahuasca Retreats

We are Psychotherapists and we are also shamans and ayahuasca guides. We’ve been training directly with Shipibo healers since more than 20 years, we are as part of the Shipibo family. We are Peruvians and we have a sincere and true commitment to protect our traditions and cultural heritage. The ayahuasca used at Sapan Inka grows in Shipibo lands and the Ayahuasca medicine is prepared by Shipibo healers.

We organize our Ayahuasca Retreats in our house at home in the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Cusco, Peru. You can feel safe and as a part of our family when you participate in a retreat. In our retreats you will participate in ayahuasca and San Pedro ceremonies. We use only ancestral medicinal plants and no other substances.

We include in our Retreats the use of Pandora Star Light, this device emits flashing beams of light focused on the retina, stimulating different regions of the brain. People who are exposed to light with their eyelids closed may experience images of kaleidoscopic patterns, of mandalic and psychedelic type, which may allow deep introspection, similar to a state of deep meditation. To participate in this session with the Light helps the body to produce its own DMT by simulation of the pineal gland. So, a session with the Light helps to be more prepared for the Ayahuasca experience and the journey to the psychic reality.

To participate in an Ayahuasca Retreat is a possibility to explore your spiritual dimension, reconnect with the healing power of you own body and spirit, and reconnect with higher Self.

    I had been reading about ayahuasca for a few years but I never thought I would have the courage to participate in an ayahuasca ceremony. This year I started feeling the urge to experience this as I wanted to improve myself and get more understanding about myself and life. I had no idea how to chose a retreat so I let my friend Chris chose one because I know he always makes good decisions and is pretty lucky in life. After some search he emailed me the Sapan inka project website by telling me: this is the one! I m feeling good about this one. I took a look and trusted his choice. We went to Peru and spent a couple days in Cusco before getting picked up to go to the retreat and even though I was nervous, everything felt right. We arrived in the village and were welcomed in this lovely house by Nilda and Erik. They were very sweet and simple. We were a small group of 3. We had a one on one talk with Erik before the ceremony to address our goals expectations and concerns. The ceremony started at 8 pm, I was very nervous. The medicine was very potent and strong but I felt protected as if there was a shield around us. Every time I was panicking inside I would hear the soothing voices of Nilda and Erik singing the Icaros and that would calm me down and help me feel safe. The next morning we woke up to the healthiest breakfast I ever had. Fresh fruits and vegetables, smoothie. We had a one on one talk again to address the experience and help understand if better. We then decided to go walk for a bit and got up to a waterfall which I had seen in my visions the previous night. I felt reenergized. The second night ceremony was also very intense but once again I felt the good energy from Nilda and Erik and felt safe.
    I ll never forget the beauty of Nilda and Erik and how harmonious their living is. I felt in a different world full of peace and love. I hope to go back there one day again. What I experienced there in just 2 days is shaping my life and destiny now.

    I signed up with Sapan Inka once I saw the transformation of a friend who just came back from Peru. He was not drinking alcohol any more and his health was better than ever.
    My personal experience was extraordinary and much more than what I expected! We were an small group of four and we were given such a close attention that none us wanted to leave at the end.
    The Ayahuasaca experience was something out of this world and we each saw and experience things that we have never experienced before.
    The San Pedro was just a great closure for our trip! I felt united with nature and felt as I was part of the trees and mountains. Just extraordinary!
    I honestly believe that with the amount of time and care that they devote to each individual they should charge much more!! We all told each other that if we stayed in a regular Hotel for four days, we would be paying more!
    I have been in 41 countries and experienced many things but nothing like this.
    I thank Erik & Nilda for doing this for me, God Bless them.

    Sapan Inka Project is a place were serious work with the plant medicines are done. The healers/guides from this retreat primary concern is your healing and not your money like most other retreats. They incorporate plant medicines, Andean rituals and psychological development to help you integrate your life.

    Erik and Nilda are one of the most humble and profound guides that I have drank the medicine with. They are the reason why I have returned to their retreat twice to continue the work. Their retreat house is surrounded by enormous mountains and vegetation. Their vegetarian meals are simply delicious. On clear nights, you can see millions of stars and the end tail of the Milky Way.

    However, the best aspect of this retreat is that they are small…4 people max. Therefore they focus all their energy on healing you. In addition, you have at least 3 one to one sessions to discuss your progress during the retreat which is unheard of in other centers since they pack 15-20 people in one retreat.

    Overall I highly recommend this retreat to those who want to heal on a more profound level. It’s serious work, but the rewards are permanent.
