A small retreat center focused on individual healing plant medicine process in groups of no more than 10 participants at a time. We are located in the famous Sacred Valley of the Incas in a remote Andean village. Scheduling is by request. We offer 4, 6 and 11 Day Retreats, Kambo treatments and stays, all with the option to extend for more time resting or deeper cleansing. The retreat healings plants and therapies include Ayahuasca, Yopo, San Pedro, Kambo and Temazcal (Sweat Lodge).
Our purpose is to create a ripple effect in the consciousness of humanity through work with sacred plant medicines of Peru and healing techniques we have chosen, through our own positive experiences, and believe compliment the process of plant medicines. To bring about a new earth first we must help heal the traumas of the past.
We first must begin healing the individual in a gentle process. Each process is considered on an individual basis and what the healers feel would be best suited to the work they would like to accomplish. There is space to explore deeper and daily consultations after ceremony to begin to understand the messages of the plant medicine and have a focus for the next ceremony.
The longer the retreat, the deeper the healing. All of our programs are intensive, however there is space to take your time in the healing process through extending your retreat or opting to take less or no medicine. We guide participants only to where they feel comfortable or ready for. The ceremonies are practiced in a sacred context with Icaros (medicine songs) and sacred instruments. Each ceremony has assistants to help care for each person and anything they need.
During your time at the retreat you will have everything you need for a comfortable stay with all modern necessities. We provide everything, you need only to bring yourself and a few pairs of warmer clothes. In the Andes, we can experience all four seasons in one day, but tend to have cold nights and warm days. There are Incan ruins above the center and plenty of hiking trails around, so comfortable clothes and good shoes are a must.
With the power of the heart we are bringing every person into the healing power of the sacred medicinal plants of Peru through ceremony. We have ongoing local projects offering people in the nearby town healings and ceremonies.

April 16, 2017 at 12:34 pmI did the 6 day retreat at Shamanic and it was amazing. Chrissy and Paco are beyond amazing people and truly care so much about helping others on their journeys. They are intuitive and pay attention to what each person needs. The medicine they gave me was very effective and I can honestly say I will never forget it. I got everything out of it I had hoped for and more and I hope what I have learned stays with me forever. A friend of mine went after I did and had an equally positive experience. So healing. Highly reccomend Shamanic to any and everyone interested and I hope I’m able to attend another ceremony with these two someday.

March 16, 2017 at 6:04 pmI would strongly recommend Shamanic Vida if you would like to do a ayahuasca retreat. I just felt so welcomed immediately when I reached Pacos and Chrissys place. The four days I spent there were truly wonderful and changed my life in so many ways. I now know which guidlines I should continue follow in my life thanks to the stay at Shamanic Vida. Paco is such a professional and caring shaman to whom I can thank in so many ways for the beautiful trip I had. Truly one of the greatest moments in my life. Thanks a lot, Paco and Chrissy for your warm support and retreat.

March 3, 2017 at 1:12 pmI experienced the healing power of ayahuasca and san pedro for the first time at Shamanic vida partecipating first to a six days retreat. The experience was so illuminating and inspiring that after a week I went back for other three days. Pacco and Chrissy are simply great guys, full of love and with a deep knowledge of plant medicines and shamanic traditions. They are very supportive all the time. I learnt a lot during my staying at Shamanic Vida not only with the ayahuasca but also by sharing those days with them!!!

February 28, 2017 at 10:39 amThere are 2 very good reasons SV has perfect 5 star reviews and that’s Chrissy and Pacco. It’s rare to meet a couple so young with such vast life experience, depth of knowledge in their fields and dedication to their purpose. They are true healers, better equipped than any medical doctor to cure both physical and mental pains.
Few, if any, retreats offer the range of natural treatments available at SV; aya, rapèy, San pedro, kambo, temazcal, reiki attunement(!!) and many many more, all adapted to your personal requirements and delivered with expert care and guidance. They literally provide everything you could possibly need, just bring yourself, some warm clothes, toiletries and an open mind. Chrissy and Pacco will take care of the rest.
I came to them 18 months after a bad accident with broken ribs I had been told would never heal, in a week they’d proved western doctors wrong and my physical and mental pains were all but gone. I was so impressed with the the results I decided extended my stay 4 more days and wished I could’ve stayed longer, I will be back one day though 🙂
If you’re looking for a simple, boutique retreat where you will be treated as an individual with love, compassion and humour by genuine expert healers then look no further. I cannot recommend SV highly enough and have endless love and gratitude for the life changing gifts C+P gave me.
Thank you!!!!!
