Ecuadorian Medicine Retreats
Our Retreats
We will be gathering in the homelands of the Siekopai and tapping into the energy of the Ecuadorian highlands. These journeys are focused on connecting with the traditional and native medicinal plants of the Siekopia and the Andes mountains. We will have the opportunity to learn directly from the Siekopai Elders as they show us the different medicinal plants and the proper ways they are used. Working along side the family in Identifying, harvesting, creating medicines, and flora waters. This is a unique opportunity to connect with these traditions and family. At the moment we are working together to create new ways to share their herbal wisdom. During our time together we will be researching for a new book for the Siekopia so that this knowledge is not lost. This book will be be in both English and Spanish along with their traditional language of Paicoca. We will also be creating products for all of use to take home with us and for the family to continue to grow their herbal business.
It is our intention to keep our groups small with a maximum of 6-8 people. By doing this we make sure everyone gets the attention they deserve. This also allows for more opportunities for everyone to connect with each other, building strong relationships that can continue to grow beyond the jungle.
We offer a few different formats depending on what you are seeking.
Our typical deep immersion includes 2 sunrise renewals and 2 proper Yagé ceremonies over 8 days. This can be quite intense and will without a doubt have a profound impact.
We have recently been adding 5 days on at the end in the Highlands where we relax in local high mountain hot springs, connect with Huachuma, go hiking, explore local markets, and integrate our jungle experience.
We are also open to creating a retreat specifically for your group. We can add in other purgative renewals that help with the liver, gallbladder, or lungs. We can do more or fewer ceremonies, etc
