At Sapan Inka, we believe that participating in an Ayahuasca retreat offers a profound opportunity for deep energetic cleansing, spiritual awakening, and personal healing. Our unique approach is a conscious synthesis of traditional Amazonian plant medicine and the principles of transpersonal psychology. We are not a center for spiritual tourism; we are a dedicated sanctuary for psychospiritual exploration, ancestral healing, and genuine personal transformation.

A Safe, Sacred, and Respectful Ceremonial Space

We distinguish ourselves through high ethical standards, personalized care, and unwavering energetic support during every ceremony. We honor a philosophy of conscious support: we respect the wisdom of expanded states of consciousness, allowing the healing intelligence of Ayahuasca and your own inner guidance to unfold naturally without unnecessary interference.

Safety and participant well-being are at the core of our practice:

  • Ceremony Duration & Direct Care: Our ceremonies last approximately 3 hours. At the end of each ceremony, the healers check in personally with every participant.
  • Dedicated Support: If you feel unstable, ungrounded, or unwell at the conclusion of the ritual, the healer will remain with you in the ceremonial temple for as long as necessary until you feel fully balanced, clear, and grounded.
  • Overnight Vigilance: All guest rooms are located very close to the healer’s room. Our healers remain attentive and accessible throughout the entire night. If you require help, care, or reassurance at any hour, support is always immediately within reach.

Depth Psychotherapy & Integration

The transformative power of Ayahuasca is fully realized through structured integration. At Sapan Inka, psychotherapeutic integration goes beyond simple conversation. We provide a professional framework to help you interpret the symbolic language of your visions, bridging deep spiritual insights into tangible, lasting life changes.

Preparation & Commitment

An Ayahuasca journey can be intensely challenging and demands emotional readiness, maturity, and commitment. Our approach is designed for individuals seeking authentic inner work rather than a superficial experience. To ensure safety and deep, personalized attention, we intentionally keep our retreat groups very small.

A Warm Welcome to Your Healing Journey

Embarking on a path of sacred medicine is a courageous step toward self-discovery, emotional freedom, and inner peace. We understand that taking this step requires trust, and we are committed to holding a safe, honorable, and compassionate space where you can safely release old burdens and reconnect with your true self.

If you feel called to work with us, we warmly invite you to begin this journey. Whether you wish to explore the details of our retreats or simply prefer a personal connection before applying, we welcome you to schedule a private 15-minute video call with us. We look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you on your path to healing.

    Our experience with Eric and Nilda at Sapan Inka Retreat was a very positive one.
    We were greeted with smiles on arrival, a very comfortable bed and a spacious room with a private bathroom.
    These simple comforts supported us in having a soft safe place to land after the Ayahuasca ceremonies.
    Nilda prepared with love, tasty high vibrational and appropriate meals to accommodate each step we took during our stay.
    Eric and Nilda had a well-run, caring and flexible itinerary that allows everyone to experience in their own way, with all the support they may need.
    Our experience was transformative, giving us a clearer picture of where our path will lead in the future. The bonuses were the friendly greetings from the two affectionate dogs and cat always looking for a pat.
    Each ceremony was performed professionally by Erik and Nilda. The Sharman and the Sound healing specialists came with great talents that made our experience during the San Pedro ceremony exceptional.
    Thank you, Nilda and Eric for providing a safe place for us to explore a higher level of consciousness, opening the doorway to new beginnings and supporting more positive behaviour in our present moment and future adventures.

    My husband and I had a beautiful experience at Sapan Inka in October of 2023. This was my first time doing ayahuasca, and I could not have had a better experience. Erik and Nilda were so welcoming and kind. The accommodations were great- we had a private room and bathroom. The grounds and temple were lovely. The food delicious. I experienced immense healing, and remain grateful for the experience. I would love to return one day. They close the ceremony earlier than some other retreats which gives you time alone in your experience. At first I felt fear around this, but much of my deep healing happened in the privacy of our room. I felt safe and in good hands the entire retreat.

    I participated in a five day retreat with Sapan Inka (Erik and Nilda) in October of 2023. The retreat consisted of two ayahuasca ceremonies and one san pedro ceremony. Sapan Inka arranged for transportation for Cusco city to their home in the sacred valley and back to Cusco city afterwards. From start to finish I felt safe in the “safe container” that they created for me and the other retreat participants. Our group were five in total on the retreat and none of us knew each other before the retreat but shared a common bond as spiritual seekers on a healing path.

    I had my own room in the main house with a private bath and I think some rooms were double occupancy. Accommodations were nice and comfortable but simple. Nilda did all the cooking throughout the retreat and meals were simple vegan meals consistetn withthe Ayahuasca diet.

    Erik was a wonderful counselor and coach throughout the entire retreat. He made himself available for 1-1 conversations before and after every ceremony and has been available for followup sessions on video conference. Erik has helped guide me for several weeks/months since the retreat making book recommendations and other recommendations to expand my spiritual practice.

    I never asked Erik about his religion but in our conversations and in the songs and chants I heard references to Christ, the holy spirit, and native Peruvian symbolism. It was a beautiful and non-dogmatic blend of meaningful spiritual traditions as a backdrop but nothing was pushed on me.

    This is a real deep spiritual retreat and if you are like me willing to put in real work in preparation and in post ceremony integration I can highly recommend it.

    It was my first ceremony of ayahuasca, and honestly, I was scared, but when I reached the retreat home I became calmer, the place was very peaceful. When I met Erik and Nilda I felt like I could trust them, they are very nice people! After the ceremonies, I realized they doing these retreats because they really want to help people! And also they are curious about the universe and everything. When people love what they doing they will definitely do their best. So I am so happy that I found them and decided to make this journey in their retreat house.
    My life is divided into before and after. It’s difficult to explain in words, but you will definitely understand after this retreat, you will find answers! And also you will find the keys to all the doors!
    I am using my new knowledges right now, after retreat, and then when I am stuck on my way again I will definitely come back, thank you so much Eric and Nilda ☺️
