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.

My time at Shamanic Vida was very well spent! Christine picked me up at the airport, she was very welcoming in a way that you hope for from someone who works with Ayahuasca. From the start, Pacco and Christine were very open about what to expect on my journey and addressing any concerns I had about the actual trip. The entire experience was incredibly relaxing and spiritually fulfilling, The retreat itself is idyllic and being somewhat within the jungle I felt close to nature and the spirit of the plant. I cannot thank Pacco and Christine enough for their guidance and for creating such a positive experience for me.

It really is a blessing and a gift that people and places like this exist in the world. I found this spiritual sanctuary online and after reading more about them and contacting them, everything else fell into place. The retreat was unbelievable my spirit was connecting the minute I got there. It certainly helped that the staff was so welcoming and hospitable. It was a foreign land, but the people made it feel like home. Being in such a sacred feeling place really gave me what I realize I was looking for and had traveled so far for. I will ask it is the therapy I needed for so many years my “soul” house was lacking spirituality. I was full to the brim with everything else overflowing but empty in that room. The meditations have given me quiet and it often buzzing mind. I am really glad I took the time to come down it was amazing to see the ancient inca architecture all around in the gigantic mountains. What a beautiful journey it has been I am aligned and refreshed, my outlook has never been better. Being back home I feel like I just want to share my new energy and knowledge with everyone and I don’t think I could’ve ever gotten to this point without going to Shamanic vita. If you are considering going here it is humble and spiritual and I highly recommend it.

It was such a pleasure for my brother and I to stay at the retreat surrounded by these special human beings. Thank you for all the work that you do. The experience was what I needed to regain my faith in the world. I would not change a thing, to be in the amazon, spending my days meditating, taking walks to the river and taking ayahuasca at night. My internal clock has been 100% reset as well as my spirit.

This is an affordable retreat, it fit our budget, yet we were completely comfortable with a nice room, food and swimming pool. I am forever grateful and will be telling our tribe members at home to come see you all 😉 Namaste

Hola all. A friend and I recently passed through Tarapoto and were looking for someone or something more authentic and reasonably priced to take ayahuasca. We both had suffered tough break-ups in the past year and needed a rejuvenation aside from our south america trip. After asking around we found shamanic vida. They were so accommodating, their vibe was the nicest. It was a beautiful experience of two ceremonies and meditation classes.

Anyone thinking about going, you will leave feeling fresh and like a better version of yourself. We are both extremely thankful to these kind human beings for helping us both.

My time here was more than I could have hoped for this past weekend. After hearing about a friend of a friend who did a retreat with shamanic vida, I felt confident to go down to peru. They went above and beyond, giving me so much insight as to what i had to see. They supported me through the porocess and now I have belief in this magical plant and all it can do; for your soul the deep down true soul waiting to blossom. I am grateful beyond words.
They do their work in a genuine manner and with lots of consideration for your goals and what is good for you. I was given a meditation to focus on, but it was personilized in the shamans language; just one of many things that really touched my heart and I am going to share with others. To have been listened to and considered was more than I hoped for. I am tearing up just thinking about this beautiful trip, it feels like a dream. I hope anyone who is in need of healing goes to them. I wish I could have stayed longer and am going to recommend this to anyone I meet in need of healing.
