Hands-on Healing

Our female healer will occasionally offer hands-on healing during the ceremonies such as abdominal massages. This powerful technique helps to clear stuck energies in the body.

Feminine Floral Baths

While the Shipibo tradition notes feminine and masculine qualities for all plants, some plants are known to support women’s bodies more than others. Our healer creates a slightly different recipe for our medicinal plant and flower baths during our women’s retreats.

Menstruation and Ayahuasca

There are many ayahuasca retreat centers that do not allow women to participate in ceremonies during menstruation. It is true that the energy of menstruation is strong, but exclusion does not benefit the healing process for a woman. Female healers are skilled in working with this energy, and a woman can still safely drink ayahuasca during her menses and have a profound experience. All women during our retreats can fully participate in every ceremony regardless of where they are in their cycles.
