What Is the Ayni Awakening Retreat?
Ayni Awakening is a 7-day plant medicine retreat in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, designed to reconnect you with nature, honor ancient traditions, and facilitate profound personal growth. Guided by experienced facilitators and medicine carriers and rooted in the principles of Ayni—reciprocity, balance, and interconnectedness—this retreat offers a unique blend of plant medicine ceremonies, Andean rituals, holistic practices, and cultural immersion.
Is this Retreat for You?
If you are:
- Curious about the transformative power of plant medicine.
- Interested in integrating ancient wisdom into modern life.
- Committed to personal healing and growth within a supportive community.
What sets the Ayni Awakening Peru Retreat apart?
Its comprehensive, transformative approach extends beyond a typical retreat by offering deep preparation, guided psychedelic journeys, and structured integration support. While many retreats focus solely on the experience itself, this one ensures participants arrive fully prepared through pre-retreat preparation sessions, equipping them with essential tools for clarity, intention, and emotional readiness.
The pre-retreat preparation Cannabis & Breathwork Journeys creates a powerful container for deep introspection, emotional release, and energetic alignment, allowing for profound exploration before engaging in traditional plant medicine ceremonies. But the journey doesn’t end there—post-retreat integration calls provide continued guidance, helping participants process insights and seamlessly integrate their transformation into daily life. This holistic, start-to-finish approach not only inspires breakthrough moments but ensures long-term personal evolution far beyond the retreat itself.
The Cannabis & Breathwork Group Journeys will be available both in person and online through Holistic TherapeutiX.
