Healthcare Practitioners Ayahuasca Retreat 2026

Cost of Healthcare Practitioners Healing and Integration Program

USD $5,500

A portion of the income from our ayahuasca retreats funds projects on environmental justice, regenerative agriculture, and intercultural education run by our Peruvian sister NGO, the Chaikuni Institute (established 2012), collaborating with indigenous people and communities in the Amazon.

Application Process:

The application includes a registration form and a comprehensive medical questionnaire. 

Applying for this retreat does not guarantee selection, as we receive more applications than we have space for, and we are discerning with our selection criteria. Please do not make any travel plans until we have confirmed that your registration is approved.

Once you complete the application, we will do our best to review and confirm whether your application is approved within 2 weeks. If your application is not selected, your $300 application deposit will be refunded in full.

Important Terms and Advice

• Once your registration is approved, the remainder of the 50% deposit payment or full payment if the retreat starts within 6 weeks, must be paid within 24 hours of approval.
• Your balance must be paid in full by at least 6 weeks prior to the start of the retreat to guarantee your space. 
• If you cancel more than 8 weeks prior to the start of your retreat: you may transfer to a different available retreat date within 1 year or you may receive a refund less $300 fee.
• If you cancel within 8 weeks of the start of a retreat, you may only transfer to a different available retreat date within 1 year or you may receive a refund less $300 fee, if we can fill your place in the retreat you are cancelling from. We almost always have waiting lists and will try our best to do so, however, it may be difficult to find someone to replace your space if it is close to the start of the retreat.
• In the unlikely event that we are forced to cancel any retreats for any reason due to circumstances beyond our control (the only time this has happened in 18 years of operation was in 2020 due to the pandemic and border closures in Peru), all registration payments will be transferred to personal credit to be used for a future program at a later date within 2 years of whenever the Temple would be able to reopen. Refunds may not be possible in this circumstance.
• We strongly recommend all guests purchase flight and travel insurance to cover all contingencies and non-refundable payments and expenses.
