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.

If you wish to explore the details of our retreats or simply prefer a more personal connection before beginning your journey, we invite you to schedule a 15-minute video call with us.

    Sapan Inka no es solamente una lugar o espacio para poder conectar con la sabiduría de las plantas, sino que es, en si, un proceso de sanación. Desde el primer día con la charla con Erik se inicia este proceso de apertura y acompañamiento durante todos los días. Su acompañamiento te brinda el sostén de la experiencia, la capacidad de poner en palabras y observar el contenido de las ceremonias. Y por otro lado esta Nilda, quien me brindo un amor y un entendimiento necesario para poder ingresar en las profundidades de la experiencia. Es un privilegio haber realizado el retiro en este espacio sagrado y con personas tan mágicas.

    Ya han pasado varios meses desde que estuve en el Sapan Inka, y aun sigo trabajando con los procesos de sanación que se develaron en las ceremonias.. Al mes de haber terminado mi retiro tuve una conversación con Erik de nuevo, ya que le solicite ayuda con parte de este proceso, y no dudo en responderme y enviarme material de lectura para poder seguir profundizando en mi camino. La posibilidad de sanar de la mano de personas tan armónicas y sabias como Erik y Nilda hacen que todo el camino valga la pena., Recomiendo a todos los seres que deseen profundizar en sus procesos internos poder ser parte de Sapan Inka.

    Voy a estar agradecida toda la vida con este lugar, este espacio sagrado y la sabiduría y amor de Erik y Nilda, ya que han sido parte de una sanación para toda la vida. ¡Gracias inmensas!

    I can’t say enough about how grateful I am for my experience at Sapan Inka. Erik and Nilda are wonderful hosts and genuinely amazing souls. I felt welcomed, comfortable, and safe from the moment I entered their sacred land. There is a special energy here, which is important when dealing with these plant medicines. They are masters at performing ceremonies in their acoustically perfect temple. The sounds they produced with their music, chants, and songs cannot be explained, only experienced. The way they move energy through the room and through your soul is mind blowing. Not to mention, the setting in the Sacred Valley is just so beautiful! Erik was very clear and thorough about what to expect leading up to this and when I arrived. We had a very real talk about what to expect and how to prepare. I followed all of the recommended preparations a month before going into the retreat and would recommend doing so for anyone. Take this very seriously and the you will experience same rewards that I have found. I participated in 2 ayahuasca ceremonies and 1 San Pedro ceremony. I felt completely at peace and like Mother Earth had been wrapping a big hug around me. Erik and I had a conversation the next day after each ceremony and he gave great insight on how to interpret my experience, and how to carry what I learned back into every day life. He also said to contact him anytime I need guidance in my life. Nilda is an amazing cook, all of the meals were delicious and in line with the dieta. She also has one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard. This was extremely eye opening and healing for me. I got out of this what I set my intentions to, plus way more than I could’ve ever Imagined. I would recommend Sapan Inka to anyone and everyone, and I see myself coming back again. This is a very real experience and was life changing for me. 5 stars is not enough to give. Thank you so much Erik and Nilda!

    I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Nilda and Eric. The entire service: communication, transfer, accommodation, feedback, food — all of this is beyond praise. It’s hard to imagine a better people and place for Ayahuasca retreat

    As for the ceremony itself, any words seem primitive and rude to convey the experience that occurs during the ceremony.

    I would also like to address those who are going on this trip for the first time: just follow all the rules and trust shamans

    It’s been 4 months since my experience at Sapan Inka and I have lots to say. First of all the location is wonderful there is something magical about this place, you can feel it as soon as you arrived that it’s sacred and powerful. The landscape around the house is gorgeous. The house itself is wonderful. I felt like I was at the right place. And then I met Erik and Nilda. You can also feel a powerful energy coming from them, it’s like they have been choosing by the gods to help people, and they’re doing it so well. They are the nicest people and I felt like I was in good care during my journey over there. The food is incredible and so natural, Nilda is such great cook. As for the experience of the Ayahuasca, I had 2 ceremonies. The first one was an introduction, it was very intense and physical. The second one was my epiphany, the ayahuasca changed my life that night, it showed me so much about myself and the world that it changed my point of view about life and my future forever. I will be forever grateful for everything that I saw that night. During the ceremony the presence of Erik and Nilda is very heartwarming, they’re controlling the energy and the spirits so well that without them I don’t know if my experience would’ve been the same. The next day after the ceremony we all have a meeting with Erik one on one and he guides us trough the experience of the night before and it helps a lot to understand the meaning and the purpose of what we saw. In general I have one word for my journey at Sapan Inka: Grateful ! My life has changed drastically since then and I could never go back to the old version of me after everything I saw and experienced over there. I recommend to everyone that need to open their mind and their heart to have this beautiful, sometime painful, experience. It is necessary,. If you feel the call of The Ayahuasca, don’t hesitate and Sapan Inka is the place to go. Thank you Erik and Nilda
