You are welcome here, whether or not you choose to drink ayahuasca. We honor each person’s unique path and respect individual needs for healing and transformation. An English–Spanish translator is available, and cell phone service is available throughout the center.

Owned by Maestro Reshin Nika and traditionally Shipibo-run, by his large family who lives on the grounds. Authentically rooted in Master Plant Dietas—a profound, disciplined healing practice that extends far beyond participating in ayahuasca ceremonies alone.

Our ayahuasca ceremonies are intentionally small and held with family present, reflecting Shipibo tradition. They typically include Reshin Nika’s wife, the translator / facilitator, often his daughters, and 1–5 guests at a time— this allows for highly personalized care and attention to each guest.

Maestro Reshin Nika recently spent five years working at “The Garden of Peace” in Tarapoto, Peru, where his shamanic healing practices earned the trust and respect of hundreds of people whom he supported through their dietas and healing journeys.

He has now opened this ayahuasca retreat center in the heart of the Peruvian jungle, just an hour northwest of Pucallpa Airport, in the Santa Clara de Ucayali. With over 35 years of experience, Reshin Nika was trained by his grandfather who was one of the last ‘Merayas’ – the highest grade of shaman you can achieve. In the traditional Shipibo lineage—a sacred healing tradition passed down for generations.

A center rooted in Shipibo Ancestral ways

This is not a luxury retreat, nor a space centered on constant guidance or reassurance. It operates according to cultural and ceremonial healing practices passed down through many generations. Guests live alongside the Shipibo family, moving within their rhythms, values, and way of life—an experience that may feel very different from modern Western-style retreats.

Our structure is rooted in traditional dieta practices that emphasize solitude with the master plants, allowing deep and lasting healing, spiritual awakening, and shamanic initiation to unfold at the root level. Through this process, forms of shamanic insight and resilience are transmitted that transcend language.

Maestro Reshin Nika is present and attentive throughout the process and available when support is genuinely needed. At the same time, this work is not structured around constant dialogue or daily questioning. Participants are asked to cultivate discernment, patience, and trust in the plants, allowing insights and guidance to arise organically rather than through continual external reassurance.

Participants are expected to approach this experience with humility, respect, and personal responsibility. Entitlement, excessive demands, or disrespect toward the family, the medicine, or the process is deeply disruptive to the integrity of the work and the culture that holds it. This path calls for maturity, adaptability, and reverence for traditions that are not here to conform, but to be honored.

The more time spent in quiet reflection and intentional isolation, the stronger one’s bond with the plants becomes—amplifying healing and insight in ways that unfold naturally, powerfully, and beyond expectation.

With Maestro Reshin Nika, a highly gifted practitioner of the Shipibo lineage, this work is held with deep experience and care. True health is the foundation of an abundant life, and this path offers the conditions for profound and lasting transformation.

Chiric Sanango - A powerful master plant that heals physical pains. With its heat, Chiric removes cold energies from the body, which are the cause of many arthritic and rheumatism pains, and is bone strengthening. She also teaches shamanism if dieted long-term.

For chronic or long-standing health conditions, we recommend a minimum of three weeks

For conditions that require deeper, more sustained work—or for a tree-based dieta, which carries potent and profound healing and teachings—we recommend a minimum stay of three weeks at our ayahuasca retreat center. A two-week dieta is well suited for most intentions, or as a powerful and restorative reset. We invite you to read our Master Plant Dieta page to gain a clear understanding of how this process unfolds at our center.

—Drinking ayahuasca is not required to experience profound healing

In traditional Amazonian practice, it was the shaman alone who drank ayahuasca, channeling its healing power for others. If you don’t want to drink ayahuasca, much benefit can be received by working only with the master plants through personalized dietas—special herbal preparations made from the local Amazonian jungle master plants tailored to your specific healing path.

These dietas on their own are very powerful. They cleanse and balance the body, mind, and spirit, opening the way for profound growth, deeper healing, and transformation —bringing deep energetic and physical healing. You still can participate fully in ceremony—held in sacred space and guided by Reshin Nika’s powerful icaros.
