It will happen on 13th-26th June 2022!
An amazing opportunity to switch off from the world and retreat into the jungle of Peruvian Amazon for 2 weeks of magic with healing plants, ceremonies, healthy food, yoga, breathwork, nature, likeminded group of people and much more. Ricardo will be the leading shaman of the retreat and we will also have the supporting shaman Arnaldo. Ricardo is a humble and very powerful shaman. He works for over 20 years with sacred plant medicine. His shamanic name is Ricardo Cheroke and he was born in Cuzco, Peru. His parents are descendants of the Incas, Quechua tribe.
We will also have Melanie keeping us moving with yoga and dance and Rimante holding breathwork sessions and supporting the group during ceremonies.
In this retreat the focus will be on the heart opening and on the voice. We will work with sacred master plants Ayahuasca and Wachuma (San Pedro) as well as the plant Sinadenium Grantii which is an amazing plant used for opening throat chakra. Ricardo is an expert in supporting people in opening the throat chakra in a very sensitive way during the ceremonies. This retreat is also an amazing opportunity to heal your psychological traumas, depression, anxiety, addictions and many other physical and mental conditions, opportunity to identify and release unwanted thought and behaviour patterns, connect or re- connect to your creativity. These are only few of unlimited possibilities of healing and growth that will take place during this retreat and will continue many days afterwards. The group is limited to 15 participants and we are sure you will leave friends for life after sharing such a transformative and magical time together.
Our beautiful center is located in Peru, one hour by boat, from the capital of Amazonia, called Iquitos.
If someone feels like having a day off from the group, he/she is as well free to do so.
Ricardo will explain different methods for integration and healers will be around to help and to explain so that everyone feels comfortable and held.
This retreat will be very personal and with a small group of maximum 15 participants. It is a combination of master plants and other healing plants of the Amazon, Yoga and Kambo. We have a teacher in this retreat who speaks three languages. The shaman Ricardo also speaks English, Quechua, Portuguese and Spanish. He will be translating for Alberto who speaks Spanish and a native dialect in other languages to better understand his teachings of the different plant medicines in the retreat.

Dietary Information
One of the most important aspects of working with Ayahuasca is adhering to a time- honoured tradition of following a special diet in order to prepare not just the body, but also the mind and soul to incorporate the healing energy of Ayahuasca.
This diet also shows the spirit of Ayahuasca your intention, and is a test of discipline and commitment. The central aspects of the diet are common to across the Peruvian Amazon. In the case of some of the food restrictions, there is also definitive scientific evidence that they are essential for safety. We advise you to begin the diet five days before the event and to continue the diet as long as it feel right for you. It is advised to continue a conscious diet to ensure the healing you have received and any possible plant remedies you are prescribed are given sufficient time to integrate.
Important Medical Precautions
Ricardo has many years of experience in holding medicine events and knows the safe use of Ayahuasca in its traditional context. Please note that in certain cases working with Ayahuasca can carry health risks: if you have any heart, liver or kidney, or other serious medical problems, you should inform us at the first opportunity, and discuss the issues with a doctor who is aware of the issues Ayahuasca may raise.
Our priority is your safety and well-being, within the events guiding you to personal healing and growth. We will provide the most secure environment to work with Ayahuasca we possibly can, and will ensure your welfare as best we can at all time. In return we ask that you behave responsibly and do not endanger yourself or others.
It is necessary that you agree to disclose, in confidence, any known medical conditions and/or use of any medication, at the time of booking. By coming to the medicine event, you are declaring that you are in a physical and mental condition appropriate to the activities described in the dietary and medical guidelines, and agree that you participate at your own risk and that we cannot accept liability for any accident or injury. Certain drugs and medications have been found to not be compatible with Ayahuasca. It is essential to stop taking the following substances, and give your system sufficient time to remove them from the body, before you begin a workshop. Please consult your doctor if you are in any doubt: you certainly should not suddenly stop taking prescribed medications (including antidepressants) without consulting your doctor.

One of our intentions is to create a deep connection with the traditional medicines of the Amazon, to protect our medicines and to promote the plantings of new plants, because we have medicines that are in danger of extinction. Many shamans use the plants and do not sow, so soon we can be without Ayahuasca and other medicines. Some of those can be lost by so much use.
Planta Divina is a group of professionals that dedicates their lifetime to plant studies and we are offering exchanges. This means people can offer their work in exchange for ceremonies or diets. This offer fits for example for Yoga teachers and other spiritual integration worker that we want to include in our retreats as well. This people will receive accommodation and food as an exchange for no cost or a little cost, depending on the kind of work we agree on beforehand and on the performance. They can help to plant Ayahuasca and other medicines and learn more about the diets, also plant fruits and vegetables from the Amazon while creating a deep connection with Mother Earth.
IMPORTANT: Interested persons must inform us a few months before to be included in the program.
