Healing in Brotherhood

By request Intertwining Medicines has curated a program to meet the growing need of men-only containers for ayahuasca healing. Our men’s retreats are hosted by male facilitators and a male shaman. We offer our same heart-centered support pre and post retreat like our other programs which include private video preparation calls and follow up care with private online integration sessions.

Men sharing their ayahuasca journey in the company of other men strikes differently, and creates a powerful dynamic that encourages shields to lower. In being witnessed in our authenticity while also witnessing vulnerability in others, we connect to one another through our humanity.

About This Retreat

Our 7 night/8 day men’s ayahuasca retreat is an opportunity for a small group of men to explore our inner worlds safely in the company of other men. Together we co-create a focused and heart centered relationship with the medicinal wisdom of ayahuasca whilst fully supporting each other on the journey. This is a rare opportunity for men to unite together in this unique way: in brotherhood, without a need for competition, allowing our walls and defenses to soften in the company of other courageous men. This retreat is designed for deep work, deep rest, and deep connection.
