AYA Healing Retreats is an ayahuasca retreat center located outside Iquitos, Peru, offering authentic traditional healing ceremonies led by curandero families with multigenerational experience in Amazonian plant medicine. Their small-group retreats include individualized preparation, one-on-one consultations with healers, vapor baths, icaros, and post-retreat integration sessions.

Blossom’s read

AYA Healing Retreats looks more like a retreat-led plant-medicine school than a formal academic training provider. Its strongest fit is people seeking immersion in Amazonian ceremonial practice, especially those drawn to Shipibo lineage work and trauma-informed integration rather than a regulated professional credential. The presentation is polished and expansive, but on the evidence available it sits firmly in the experiential retreat and practitioner-apprenticeship end of the field, not in accredited higher education.

Who AYA Healing Retreats is for

Best suited to curious adults, aspiring plant-medicine practitioners, and facilitators who want immersive exposure to Amazonian ceremonial work, especially those comfortable with retreat-style learning in Peru. It also looks relevant to people wanting trauma-informed integration skills alongside ceremony-based practice.

Prerequisites

For the retreat offerings, the site describes application and screening, but no formal academic or clinical prerequisite is stated. For the Kambo Practitioner Program, the provider says it trains participants to serve Kambó safely and respectfully, but I did not find a clearly stated licensure requirement or entry condition beyond participation and screening.

Accreditation & recognition

I did not find evidence of formal third-party accreditation, higher-education recognition, CME, or CE credit. The site does state that the 8-day Trauma-Informed Plant Medicine Program ends with an AYA Healing Retreats certificate of completion, and the Kambo Practitioner Program describes participants as becoming certified Kambo practitioners, but that appears to be provider-issued rather than externally accredited.

Cost

The 11-day ayahuasca retreat is priced at roughly USD 2,300 to 3,300 depending on booking tier, with one page also listing $3,300+ as the standard framing. The package includes private accommodation, 2 to 3 meals per day, five ayahuasca ceremonies, plant baths, icaros, sacred tobacco, safety support, and integration practices; the Kambo programme also states transfer and meals are included, plus private accommodation and full training. I did not find a clean public price for the trauma-informed training pages in the material reviewed.

What you walk away with

Learners appear to walk away with retreat experience, preparation and integration support, and in some cases a provider-issued certificate of completion. For the Kambo programme, the intended outcome is practical ability to administer Kambó safely and to understand screening, self-application, and serving protocols. For the trauma-informed programme, the outcome is improved trauma-sensitive facilitation skills, somatic attunement, and a certificate from AYA on completion.
