An Authentic Healing Experience led by Shipibo Curanderos in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru
Ayahuasca Retreats at the Ayahuasca Foundation help people realize the power to make profound changes in our lives and achieve health and happiness. The rainforest is ancient and wise, beyond human comprehension, and it contains the answers to questions that we sometimes struggle to ascertain by ourselves.
During the Ayahuasca Retreats, participants attend ayahuasca ceremonies and they also receive a variety of traditional plant remedies. Receiving treatment from an authentic indigenous shaman, or curandero, is an opportunity to discover, empower, and motivate our true selves to achieve our highest goals of health, harmony, and happiness. Retreat participants are able to replant their spirits in nourishing soil, free from the environmental, mental, and emotional toxins that caused their illness or sorrow.
Healing Treatments
Much more than just ayahuasca ceremonies, our healing retreats feature a multitude of additional treatments outside of the ceremonies, including plant baths, vapor baths, smoke baths, inhalants, purgatives, poultices, massage, counseling, and any internal or topical medical treatment that might be needed to heal particular illnesses or afflictions. We strive to provide the optimal care and treatment possible during a retreat.
Retreat Facilities
Our retreat center is located in the Allpahuayo-Mishana National Reserve, on the bank of the Nanay river, with recreational options for hiking, swimming, fishing and plant walks with certified conservation guides. The reserve is over 120,000 acres of pristine rainforest, and the Mishana community is located right in the heart of the reserve. The retreat center is part of the Mishana community and employs several members to work in various positions for the retreats and courses.
Riosbo Ayahuasca Retreat & Research Center, the premier center in the region, features luxury accommodations, comfortable private rooms with full electricity and en suite bathrooms, hot and cold water, personal fans, a river-view balcony and hammock deck, as well as massage room, yoga/meditation studio, consultation and activities rooms. Ayahuasca retreats are facilitated by bi-lingual apprentices who contribute their own healing insights and complimentary treatments like massage, yoga, meditation, breathwork, and counseling. Retreats take a maximum of twelve participants.

Added by Carlos Tanner
The Ayahuasca Foundation was conceived in the spring of 2008 by Carlos Tanner, an American and student of curanderismo. After living and studying with a curandero for over four years, Carlos worked to provide a safe and effective way for people to not only receive treatment in the healing tradition of the Amazon but also to study the tradition, the way he had with his maestro. The idea for the Ayahuasca Foundation was born from a desire to spread the science of plant medicine back into the world. The Foundation supports the preservation of indigenous wisdom and culture, offering healing retreats and educational courses, and conducting research focused on the ayahuasca healing tradition used for millennia by indigenous healers of the Peruvian Amazon. The Ayahuasca Foundation also supports the preservation of the Amazon rainforest, and promotes educational efforts to raise awareness about sustainability, permaculture, and harmonious environmental relationships. The Foundation participates in community outreach programs and cultural reeducation projects.

2 weeks agoCan't recommend it enough! The lodge is quite secluded, a long way out from Iquitos. Situated right next to a small village of maybe a couple hundred residents. There is no electricity other than solar panels. The lodge is rustic but comfortable and well made. The staff are friendly, dependable and honest. I had no concerns about my things. The food is simple but healthy and tasty. The facilitators are friendly, knowledgeable and caring, they listen readily. Situated right on the river, swimming is readily available. The healing modalities are well thought out. It is worth visiting for an extended period just to unplug and unwind. No internet, no phone service other than the retreat's emergency satellite phone.

2 weeks agoVery Professional, highly recommend! I spent 28 days at their Riosbo retreat centre in the Mishana community for the healing empowerment course. It was incredible, I learned and healed more than I could have imagined. Everything was put together perfectly, the facilitators Brian and Mariella are very kind and great at all they do. Maestro Don Rono is an excellent healer and teacher too. I hope to return one day, I highly recommend the Ayahuasca Foundation!

2 weeks agoI participated in a 10-day retreat program and had a life-changing experience in the process! From the Maestra and facilitators to the staff, everyone and everything contributed to a fantastic experience. The five ceremonies were terrific, and in the process, I learned a great deal about the master plants and other plant medicines from the area. Those feeling called to experience ayahuasca, I can't imagine there ever being a better place for you to come for your journey!
