Blossom’s read

AYA Healing Retreats sits in the more traditional, retreat-led end of the field rather than the clinical training market. Its strongest distinction is Shipibo lineage and a tightly held Amazonian container, with trauma-informed integration layered around the ceremonies. It looks best suited to people who want a culturally rooted immersion and are comfortable with an intensive, spiritually framed experience rather than a modern certificate-first course.

Who is AYA Healing Retreats for?

Best for people seeking an immersive ayahuasca retreat with Shipibo-rooted ceremony, preparation, and integration, particularly those open to master plant dietas and small-group work. It also suits practitioners interested in trauma-informed plant medicine integration training.

What do you need before you start?

For retreats, AYA asks applicants to complete a brief pre-application, then a fuller application covering intention and health background, followed by a call to confirm fit. The retreat is presented as suitable for first-timers as well as experienced participants. For the training courses, the site does not publish formal licensure or academic entry requirements.

Is AYA Healing Retreats accredited?

AYA Healing Retreats does not publish third-party accreditation for its retreats or its plant-medicine trainings. Its courses award a certificate of completion when requirements are met, including the 85-hour Trauma-Informed Plant Medicine programme and the Somatic Plant Medicine Integration training.

How much does it cost?

The 11-day Iquitos retreat is published with tiered pricing at USD 2,700, USD 2,900, or USD 3,300 depending on booking timing, plus reduced rates of USD 2,500 for returning participants and USD 2,300 for Central and South American residents. The 11-day package includes private accommodation and 2 to 3 meals per day, 5 ayahuasca ceremonies, plant baths, icaros, sacred tobacco, and integration support. The 26-day shamanic initiation is published at USD 4,900, USD 5,200, or USD 5,900, with similar lower rates for returning participants and regional residents.

What do you walk away with?

Learners on the training side receive a certificate of completion and practical grounding in trauma-informed, somatic plant medicine facilitation or integration. Retreat guests walk away with ceremonial preparation, guided Shipibo-led work, post-retreat integration support, and exposure to master plant dieta practice and Shipibo cosmology.
