Spirit Plant Journeys is a safe, experienced and transformative Ayahuasca Retreat nestled in the Peruvian Andes, created to help you open your heart, look within, and awaken to a new way. We offer intimate retreats with small groups in which we closely guide you through your journey within. We provide a healing space for you to acknowledge your truth; to feel, express, allow and transform.
Ayahuasca is a powerful tool that can help us uplift ourselves, heal our wounds, and let go of anything that no longer serves us. In working with plant consciousness, we become open and sensitive to everything that we are in relationship with, and in this, gain awareness, perspective, and wisdom.
Our highly-trained, experienced facilitators will closely guide you as you immerse yourself in this process. We believe that true healing is a beautiful process of opening up and awakening, and we feel strongly that this process can and should happen in a nurturing, loving way. As facilitators between cultures, and bridges between worlds, we provide a safe, open space in which we honor and respect every human being’s process in a gentle and kind way.
Every element of our retreat is designed to sustain real transformation. With a down to earth, heart-centered approach and kindred family spirit, we provide the opportunity for a life-changing healing experience. Our programs are held in the Sacred Valley, a safe haven from the noise of the city and the dangers of the jungle, and we limit our group size to a maximum of 12 people, allowing our Facilitators and Maestros to give you close, personalized guidance during your time with us. We are blessed to be working with a team of powerful Shipibo Maestros, the oldest lineage of Ayahuaqueros in South America, and we bring in both men and women maestros on retreat to strike a crucial balance between the energies of the Divine Masculine and Feminine.
Our experienced and trained facilitators serve as a cultural bridge on your journey, providing a link between cultures and plant medicine realms. They walk alongside you on this journey, guiding and empowering you with the tools to truly engage with your healing process. We specialize in providing support through pre-retreat intention sessions, sharing circles and self-inquiry on site, and post-integration sessions.
The healing process truly begins to take root when our guests go home, and as such, we believe strongly in checking in and providing support after the retreat. These are the keys to real transformation, to embody your healing experience in your daily life, enabling you to bring lasting change and growth into your life. After your last ceremony ends, the ceremony of life truly begins.

January 4, 2015 at 12:00 amHere is my review. I decided to go to this retreat with Neils and Sarah because of the type of people they seem to be to me. Once i was there it couldn’t be better than that, they are attentionate, sympathetic, extremely helpful with the preparation of the journey. We could ask any question and we were able to feel at ease with them. They are now my friends and they have a big part in my heart.
The venue was amazing, all the staff and the cooking of nancy was amazing! Inka trails are 30 sec walk from there to! The trip seriously changed my life. I was sick when i got there and i seriously seen a big change in my problem! The Shamans are really helpful during the ceremony! Magic happens during those ceremony! I am still speechless from the experience i had there.If anybody want to have a spiritual journey, this is the place to go!

January 4, 2015 at 12:00 amI was very lucky to find out about this retreat and am very happy to have experienced what Ayahuasca and San Pedro had to show and teach me. Neils and Sarah are both very helpful and accommodating, when staying at the retreat and taking part in the ceremonies. I felt very comfortable and safe in the retreat environment and confident with the facilitators and shamans. There is definitely something to be gained and discovered when taking ayahuasca and San Pedro, you will go home with a new sense of yourself and perhaps a new perspective or ability to face your fears or whatever is hindering you from living life. I would recommend this retreat to anybody who is looking to have a safe, comfortable and fun experience with ayahuasca and san pedro. Thank you so much Neils and Sarah!

December 20, 2014 at 12:00 amI found the group, the facilitators Sarah and Neils and the whole experience incredibly beneficial.
The work of Gumercindo and Bernhard and the spiritual journey that they guide you through was amazing. The help of Neils and Sarah through my journey here in Peru has helped me greatly. Without I would be a lost soul in Peru!
I want to highly recommend this retreat to all of my friends or to anybody who knows of me in Australia, Slovakia or within the glass art world.
I loved the experience so much that I have decided to participate in a second retreat! Two in a row!

It was the first time leaving my country & embarking on an exciting journey. Arriving in Cusco & meeting you two was the most excellent. You two made me feel very comfortable in your presence. I’m so glad I was able to hang out with you two & the members of the retreat. A spiritual journey I will remember forever. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful experience. & to all who are debating if you should attend, you’ll be in great hands!!! Las Chullpas is beautiful environment, cared for by people who have the passion for it. Thanks again, hope to visit you all in the future.

November 19, 2014 at 12:00 amI have just returned from quite the epic adventure with Neils and Sara from Spiritplant Journeys. Landing in Peru I was unsure what to expect; but was blown away from the start.
Spiritplant Journeys facilitates an itinerary packed with exploration of the self and the environment around you. We were treated to treks through the wonders of Peru, amazing food and accommodations, and oh yes, the magic of the medicine.
Ayahuasca is in itself an observation of the unseen. The real treat, however, is its coupling with the San Pedro cactus, whose legend began in the same Sacred Valley in which you will be staying. The combination of feminine and masculine plants enables you to have a complex and complete exploration of your relationship with existence. This coupling is incredibly important and is what really separates Spiritplant Journeys from the rest!
We love Neils and Sara for the absolute care they took of us, and their unwavering love.
Just go-you will never regret it!

November 17, 2014 at 12:00 amThe Spiritplant Journeys organization facilitated the most personally expansive, eye opening and liberating experiences of my life. From hospitality and accommodation to understanding and gentle guidance through what memorable adventure followed, the facility and its loving caretakers weaved a beautiful tapestry for me to witness upon my own becoming. I was personally certain, once laying eyes on pictures of the two guides’ warming smiles and confident, knowledgeable energies, Neils and Sarah, that I wanted to behold such an awakening in their company. Literally one of the best decisions of my life. The Shaman they invited to spear-head our ceremonies are the most powerful and comforting beings I have yet to encounter a parallel to. The food provided (according to the supplemental diet) is gourmet and quite incongruent to anything my imagination “cooked up” for an experience as such, complimented by always stocking fresh native fruit in a nearby bowl just at arm’s reach. The cottage environment I stayed in is star quality and slightly exotic over its rustic foundation. The grounds are gorgeous to walk through and lounge about in, be it a nearby hammock, stone bench or plush turf grass which beds the entire area. Everything was adeptly organized, from train rides and bus passes to exciting hikes around the Incan plain’s ancient ruins and ever-pleasant bartering in adjacent town’s markets. I am forever thankful of my experience held and of those wonderful faces who walked with me along the way. Much love. Bryon Stolle II

October 10, 2014 at 12:00 amWhat a beautiful experience this trip was. I attended this trip in September 2014 and it was simply incredible. Beautiful location, great accommodations and an amazing group of people hosting this event.
The way the two San Pedro ceremonies and the four Ayahuasca ceremonies worked in conjunction with each other to provide a very well balanced experience with connections to the heart and soul was simply amazing. The opportunity to experience both medicines while also working in some time to explore the Sacred Valley was simply too good of an opportunity to pass up.
My soul called to me to attend this retreat and it definitely did not miss. If I knew I would get 1/10th of what I experienced on this trip I would have been ecstatic. As it stands now I have left this place reborn. Life is now so much different through my eyes and I have to thank the entire SpiritPlantJourneys team for making this experience possible and sharing your knowledge and hearts with a group of inquisitive and open minded souls from around the world.

September 28, 2014 at 12:00 amI am enormously grateful for the profound, life-changing experience that you provided on our Spirit Plant Journey in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The venue was a unique slice of Peruvian artistic paradise. The meals were delicious. The organic gardens glorious. The retreat pets became our guardian animal spirits. But most of all it was the beautiful care that Neils and Sarah took of my fragile heart and the astounding spiritual and medicinal powers of our Amazonian Sharman Guermacindo that made my retreat so divine.
Thank you my friends
