Note: This business no longer operates as a plant medicine retreat center.

TierraMitica is a healing and research center in the beautiful unspoiled Fasaquihui gorge in the spectacular high jungle of Peru, 40 km by road from the city of Tarapoto. A paradise of 80 hectares (197 acres) of lush jungle with river and waterfalls, full of wild life, monkeys, blue morpho butterflies, hummingbirds and much more… It is the permanent home of the transformative Mythic Voyage Ayahuasca Workshop and the Embrace the Medicine Ayahuasca Retreats.

It is also an art center and the home of a community fully dedicated and trained to our healing work.

Our mission is to create a place where people are helped to transcend their personal wounds as well as our collective wound, to restore their trust in the wisdom of the world we live in, in themselves and in humanity, to provide a haven that offers everything we would like our own sisters, brothers, mothers and ourselves to find in order to absorb the gifts and healing insights of the medicine and the ceremonies. A place to inspire and restore the trust needed for every one of us to dare to rediscover and deepen our ability to embrace every moment, our power to create for ourselves amazing, fulfilling, creative and happy lives of choice and open heart.

We want for any one of our guests, in groups of a maximum of 12 people, to find here a place where they feel at home, safe, taken care of, supported and guided, so they can go as deep as they need in their healing process.

We work with a team of Shipibo Maestros and Maestras, that we have chosen not only for their experience and their power -that you will both feel strongly during the ceremonies- but also for their passion for their sacred work, their dedication to the healing, and their genuine attention and love for each single participant. We do ceremonies outdoors, since, due to the altitude, we have the luxury of being free of mosquitoes, under the moon and the stars on a wooden floor, were the icaros, the traditional healing chants of the Shipibos, are accompanied by the symphony of the river and the jungle.

We provide modern accommodations, with hot showers, comfortable beds, clear spring water and gourmet Ayahuasca diet food prepared with love.

We offer three different programs, the Mythic Voyage, the Embrace the Medicine 6 days, the Embrace the Medicine 11 days.

The Mythic Voyage:
It is a unique process, a fully guided, intensive and holistic workshop of 11 days for life transformation, and the only workshop of its kind in the world actually GUARANTEEING results, the success in fulfilling the guarantee judged by the participants themselves.

It is not focused on the Ayahuasca but on the end result: total transformation on every layer of human functionality and on every aspect of life for a beautiful, happy, inspired, creative life full of enthusiasm, ideas and love. It is holistic because it deals with seven layers of human functionality: our emotional, physical, cognitive or intellectual, philosophical, energetic, sensory and symbolic bodies to achieve a common internal direction and true, long lasting change. During the Mythic Voyage, intuitive, simple enough for a five-year-old to understand answers to existential questions like what exactly is the soul, what is enlightenment, who are we as human beings, why do we all feel bad about ourselves, why the universe exists and for what purpose, what is the reason why humans exist, and many more, are found that actually make sense.

During the 11 days, Ayahuasca ceremonies are not done for the experience but in order to find specific, practical answers to problems that make us suffer and blocks that stop us from living life to our full potential. We teach and guide people on how to effectively navigate and interpret the ceremony experience, diving deeper and deeper into our internal world, our subconscious, our belief systems that determine only who we are and how we perceive everything around us but also everything that we feel and think, our senses, our health as well as our memories. In contrast with retreats, the number of ceremonies is not fixed but varies according to the flow of the workshop and can vary from as many as six to as few as two.

Embrace the Medicine:
This program is an Ayahuasca retreat with two different formulas of 6 or 11 days, with respectively 3 and 6 Ayahuasca ceremonies.

The Ayahuasca communicates through the symbolic language, so we offer sharing circles and consultations to prepare you for ceremony and to decipher together the messages, the visions and the insights lived during the night. This way you can gain clarity on what has happened and what your next step should be. The Ayahuasca is a navigable experience, so if you wish, we can teach you how to collaborate with the Ayahuasca instead of being a simple observer, how to guide your own journey through a very precise and focused intention to go where is needed to find the answers and insights that will make a real difference in your life. The more you know how to navigate it, the more you will feel safe and free to explore, the more conscious you are of your experience and the clearer the results will be.

The guide of the retreat and one or two trained assistants are always presents in ceremonies, to support and assist the participants in anything they may need, as much for practical matters than in their personal process.

We have certified yoga instructors in Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, who can give classes every day during the Embrace the Medicine, for beginners or for advanced, an art studio available for you to create, an art gallery dedicated to the myth of the Grandmother Ayahuasca with 19 murals painted by visionary artists from all over the world, a natural pool by the waterfall, and plenty of land to explore and enjoy the wildlife, everything for our guests to feel inspired, nurtured, to feel their thirst for everything beautiful life has to offer.

Magic does exist!
