Healthcare Practitioners Ayahuasca Retreat 2026

Cost of Healthcare Practitioners Healing and Integration Program

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 $100 application deposit will be refunded in full.

Cancellation Policy

We understand that life can be unpredictable, so we’ve designed our cancellation policy to be as flexible and supportive as possible for our guests while preserving our ability to operate our retreats at the highest standard. Please keep in mind the following timeframes should you need to cancel your booking at some point before your retreat:

More than 4 weeks before your retreat starts: You can either transfer your full payment to any other available retreat date within the next 2 years, or request a refund minus a $300 administrative fee.

2 to 4 weeks before your retreat starts: You can transfer your payment to any other available retreat date within the next 2 years or request a refund, but in either case a $700 cancellation fee will be charged.

Within 2 weeks of your retreat start date: No payment transfers will be possible unless you can demonstrate extenuating circumstances that make attendance impossible. In such extenuating cases, we may, at our discretion, offer a credit for 50% of your amount paid, which you can apply toward a future retreat within 2 years. Refunds are not possible in this case.

Our goal is always to make this process as smooth and compassionate as possible. If you need to cancel or change your dates, please reach out as soon as possible; we’re here to work with you to find the best solution for your situation.

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 our 20 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 retreat at a later date within 2 years of whenever we would be able to reopen and resume operations.
