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.

    Sapan Inkas was set at the backdrop of gorgeous mountains and run by an even nicer couple Nilda and Erik. I was a travelling alone and Nilda made me feel safe and I felt like she was a lioness looking out for me throughout the retreat. Very professional, knowledgable and kind. They really respect the medicine and so should you if you plan to visit their retreat. Amazing experience overall and would definately reccomend especially if it is your first time.

    My girlfriend and I have been in a retreat in Sapan Inka some month ago. We made a long trip from Switzerland to make this experience and we both can say, that it was the strongest experience we have ever made. Every second will remain unforgettable.
    Erik and Nilda are amazing people. The energy, the depth and the professionalism they emit is balm for the soul. We still feel the energy and the changes after our retreat in Sapan Inka.
    If we plan a second retreat in future, we definitely would chose again Sapan Inka.

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Erik an Nilda

    Eric and Nilda of Sapan Inka Project were amazing. The retreat was nothing short of spectacular. Erik and Nilda are some of the nicest and most accommodating people I have ever met. Their home and ceremonial space is beautiful and the small group setting allows for a very personal experience. The medicine is powerful but gentle and the ceremony is done so perfectly. Erik and Nilda are incredibly knowledgeable and in tune wit he plant medicines and spirits and really ensure an incredible growth experience. The village they reside in is incredibly gorgeous and tranquil, located in the sacred valley and the locals are just as friendly and warm welcoming as Erik and Nilda. Not to mention, their cooking is phenomenal! I would not recommend any other retreat center besides Sapan Inka!

    After doing a lot of research my mom and I visited Erik and Nilda for a week long retreat. She was celebrating her 50th birthday, and I my 30th. We were journeying to Peru to sit with the intention of realizing and releasing ancestral trauma.

    Erik led us through exactly what to expect every day. Nilda prepared healthy and clean food from vegetables and fruit grown in their garden. The house is spacious, bright and clean. We had ample free time to explore outdoors or rest indoors. The Sacred Valley and it’s people are beautiful.

    The ceremonies were profound. We visited nearly 7 months ago, lessons learned while on the medicine are still showing up daily. Before every ceremony Erik sits one on one with each guest. He listens to your journey experience, giving you a safe place to be witnessed. He will listen to your upcoming journey intention and reflect back, sometimes redirecting based off your previous night’s experience. The integration piece is crucial, and Erik takes this very seriously.

    Erik and Nilda are compassionate and inspiring individuals. The partnership they have created is beautiful to witness as well. That alone is medicine for so many people. I highly recommend you stay and journey at Sapan Inkan.

    It’s been almost a year since my experience with mother ayauasca. Going into my trip to to Peru I had a lot to figure out. Coming from space and culture where I felt like I was just going through the day to day emotions not feeling connected to anyone or anything. My life has been transformed by the healing from the plant ayauasca. There is still so much to work though and integrate into western culture and life, but I genuinely feel guided on a daily basis from this experience. Guided to continue to grow and evolve to live awake and continue to rest in awareness.
    This experience never would’ve been possible without help from two very loving and caring people Erik and Nilda. It’s clear that they want to share their knowledge about Ayuasca in a safe and comfortable environment. We have so much to learn from this medicine and from each other. What a blessing that these two healers open up their home and their hearts to help the rest of us transform and blossom.
