The ideal length of a retreat depends on your intentions, your health and how deeply you wish to engage. Each duration builds on the last:

• 1 week — Initiation and basic maintenance: deep cleansing and renewal. Ideal for first-timers.
• 2 weeks — The turning point: the body settles, trust deepens and the process finds its own pace. The recommended minimum.
• 3 weeks — Sustained transformation: deeper patterns are addressed and the changes begin settling into daily life.
• 4 weeks — A full cycle: the work matures from experience into embodiment.
• 5 weeks+ — Advanced immersion: for chronic conditions, or for entering the path of Shamanic Dieta & Training.

Every retreat follows the same weekly rhythm of ceremonies, rituals and dietas — what changes is how deep the work can go. Ayahuasca works in layers, and whenever possible, a stay of at least two weeks is recommended.

Beyond the five Mixed Ayahuasca Retreats, the Shamanic Dieta & Training follows a path of its own — a personalised apprenticeship in the lineage of the Shipibo Merayas, under the attentive guidance of Maestro Niwen Koshi.
