About this trip
~In our Ayllu Medicina family, we believe that a new way of life is possible - one which embodies learning from the sacred medicines and spirits of Mother Earth.
~We believe water and food are medicine and life is a ceremony meant to be lived on purpose and in joy - together.
~We believe that the journey of healing begins in the pause. We invite you to join us on this retreat - where we will pause together in sacred ceremony.
We believe everyone can transform their life, and are here to support you to do so through your journey. In this sacred plant medicine retreat, you will have the opportunity to explore the self and understand the true nature of your reality. The plant medicines are known to cleanse the mind, body, and spirit and are healing both physically and emotionally. The master plants are here to assist you on your journey to begin the inner-work, to expand your consciousness, and to re-connect to all that is.
This plant medicine retreat is a unique opportunity to sit with and learn about ancient practices in a serene, tropical oasis in coastal Ecuador. The experience is a retreat - meaning a time to withdraw from your everyday reality to reflect and bring more intention into your consciousness. During this time of retreat, we will work to reorganize all the dimensions of our being into one direction - including our body, mind, emotion, and energy.
Included are traditional ceremonies with Ayahuasca, San Pedro, and Tobacco medicines, sweat lodges, shamanic drum journeys, individual healings and cleanses, womb wisdom circle, holistic health, and nutrition workshop, yoga and meditation, and nature and beach walks. All of this with the guidance from our incredible team.
Your medicine experience will be guided by Aime and Hwaneetah. Their purpose is to share medicine, prayers, music, and intention for healing with whoever is called to share in this journey. With their original music and multiple instruments, resonant prayers, and heart-opening medicine, these two healers are well-known in the region and will guide you in a life-changing healing process. Aime and Hwaneetah speak fluent English, Spanish, and French and have been working with medicine for over 20 years and holding sweat lodges and ceremonies for 15 years.
To support your process during this week of medicine and to provide you with tools for your life, we will practice daily yoga,, breathwork, and meditation. Classes will be held in a beautiful hardwood floor open-air yoga studio where mats, blankets, straps, and blocks are all provided.
This 7-day Transformational Plant Medicine Retreat will be a calm and quaint introduction to working with these sacred plant medicines in a safe and beautiful environment. This retreat will be held at Bromelia Lodge, a healing sanctuary hidden in a tropical forest, near Manglaralto, Ecuador. It's a few minutes from the Pacific Ocean and less than 10 minutes away from Montañita, the world-famous surf capital of South America.
We invite you to join Ayllu Medicina, our medicine family, and transform your life with intention and guidance for healing on this retreat.
