The Shamanic Call of Ayahuasca & San Pedro in the Jungle of Peru

Mystical Ayahuasca Retreat & San Pedro Ceremonies open Shamanic healing and worlds of awareness

We intend that you will benefit as we have from these divine gifts, Ayahuasca and San Pedro Cactus (Huachuma), the sacred plant medicines, and teacher plants. During your stay at Kawsay Ayahuasca Retreat in the Peruvian jungle, you will be initiated into the realm of San Pedro Cactus healing if you attend the 8-Day Ayahuasca & San Pedro Cactus Retreat or the 15-Day Ayahuasca & San Pedro Cactus Retreat. San Pedro Cactus, known by its traditional name Huachuma is a sacred healing cactus used for thousands of years in shamanic curing ceremonies throughout Peru and other South American countries.

Join us on your journey into the heart of the Amazon jungle in Peru to further develop a greater understanding of life, love, and spirit through the greatest spirit plant teachers on our planet. The discovery that awaits you will be a great reward and a blessing for you to have the opportunity to explore in this lifetime.

In addition to working within the context of our Ayahuasca and San Pedro Cactus (Huachuma) ceremonies and with Kawsay Ayahuasca Retreats gifted Shamans, you will also get to explore a little of the traditional people and land. You will be in the awe-inspiring Peruvian Amazon jungle; travel back and forth to and from our Ayahuasca Retreat center on the Amazon River and tributaries. Jungle hiking and/or canoeing and visiting local villages. You will visit the Yagua Indians as they demonstrate their old dances, original tribal language, and hunting techniques. You will be able to purchase handicrafts of items they create from the jungle plants and animals. You will see the exotic plant and animal life of the jungle with an added treat as we visit Monkey Island, a rescue center where you will be able to learn, play and cuddle with several species of monkeys. Next, visit Iquitos, an anomaly in the Amazon Jungle, a bustling, thriving town in the middle of the Amazon Jungle shrouded in much mystery. Iquitos is the only city in the world where no roads lead. Some call Iquitos the city of atonement.

Shamanic Initiation & Purification with Ayahuasca & San Pedro in Peru

Ayahuasca retreat initiation, purification & purgation of true shamanic healing

Shamanic initiation with Ayahuasca and San Pedro Cactus(Huachuma) is the commencement of being exposed to and working with genuine shamans with the sacraments or sacred plants that shamans use to transcend ordinary states of consciousness. You will experience firsthand the opening of these realms through your initiation, so you can begin to learn and grow in the spiritual and shamanic realms of awareness.

The ¨Purge¨ in shamanism is a form of purification which causes vomiting during the Ayahuasca ceremonies. Through the words of the Ayahuasca shamans in Peru, this ¨Purge¨ will expel negative energy from you purifying your mind, body, and heart. The ¨Purge¨ with Ayahuasca will clean negative energies from different difficult events in your life and the accumulated energy from those experiences. These events will leave an energetic imprint upon you as you go through such adverse situations in your life that Ayahuasca can clean. The San Pedro Cactus (Huachuma)¨Purge¨ is on a much higher level helping you in the ceremony to release more difficult energies getting to the heart and root of healing.

By participating in Ayahuasca and Huachuma ceremonies with genuine shamans, they will be able to detect and help you expel such imprints. The Peruvian shamans teach that these imprints first manifest as negative energies and afterward begin to manifest as mental, emotional, and possibly even physical imbalances or illness. The Purge enables you to be free of these energies from the shamanic viewpoint. Thus the term “shamanic purification” is appropriately used to describe this process of purgation or purification.
