A Unique & Trusted Experience
PLANT MEDECINE RETREATS
Led by Shipibo Maestros Don Rono or Dona Angela
10 Day Plant Medicine Retreats
Offering truly authentic Shipibo Plant Medicine healing
At INKAN RAO we are honored to offer traditional plant medicine retreats guided by Shipibo Maestros, Don Rono, or Dona Angela. These retreats provide a profound journey of healing and transformation. The Shipibo people are renowned experts in the field of Ayahuasca and plant spirit medicine, and we deeply respect and honor the wisdom they carry. With a rich cultural legacy of working with natural treatments, the Shipibo brings deep healing and transformation to its participants. Our Maestros work on all levels of being, including the physical, psychological, emotional, energetic, and spiritual, allowing guests to heal trauma, diseases, repressions, and imbalances within themselves. This transformative experience leads to self-reflection, self-discovery, and spiritual health.
HOW THE RETREAT WORKS
Support & Care Throughout Your Journey
Our dedicated team will ensure you feel at home when you arrive. Our retreat offers a nurturing environment with fresh, organic meals prepared daily to support your body and a caring staff always available to accommodate your needs. Nestled in the heart of the Sacred Valley, surrounded by the Apu mountains, you’ll be immersed in nature’s energy, allowing the space for deep healing and spiritual connection.
Ceremonial Guidance with the Maestros/Maestras
During the Ayahuasca ceremonies, our experienced Shipibo maestros guide each ceremony with sacred songs called Icaros. In the first ceremony, the maestro sings in front of each pasajero, performing a spiritual diagnosis to identify the root of your healing needs. This personal attention ensures that the work is deeply aligned with your individual journey and healing process.
1-on-1 Sessions for Deeper Understanding
The day following the ceremony, you’ll meet with the maestro/maestra for a 1-on-1 session to discuss what they discovered during the ceremony. They will explain the spiritual diagnosis, what needs to be addressed in upcoming ceremonies, and which plant medicines will support your healing. This personalized care continues throughout the retreat, ensuring that each ceremony brings you closer to clarity, healing, and transformation.
The Power of Ayahuasca
Guests will participate in 4 Ayahuasca Ceremonies during the retreat.
Ayahuasca, a powerful Amazonian medicine, enhances awareness and connects us deeply to our body, mind, and heart. This sacred plant medicine allows us to understand ourselves better and the challenges we face, often guiding us directly to the root of our issues and facilitating healing from within. Through Ayahuasca, we connect with the spiritual dimension, opening the door to visionary experiences and profound insights.
The Shipibo Maestros use sacred songs, known as Icaros, to diagnose and call upon the plant spirits for healing, creating a transformative journey into self-discovery and spiritual connection.
In the Shipibo tradition, smoke from natural tobacco called mapacho is used for cleansing, protection, and connecting with the spirit world, allowing the maestros to focus their healing intentions

In addition to our standard plant treatment, we tailor additional treatments to meet our guests' specific needs.
The difference between DIETAS and TREATMENTS
The difference between a dieta and receiving Shipibo treatments can be compared to the distinction between going to university and the hospital. A dieta is like a university experience, where you immerse yourself in learning and connecting with the plant spirits over time, gaining wisdom and personal insight. In contrast, Shipibo treatments are more like visiting the hospital for direct healing—addressing specific physical, emotional, or spiritual issues under the care of skilled maestros.
It’s much better to clean the soil before planting seeds, just as it's important to undergo Shipibo treatments before starting a dieta. If the "soil" of your body and spirit is cleared and prepared, the seeds of wisdom and transformation planted during the dieta will grow stronger and more profound. Trying to plant seeds in unclean soil can limit the growth and depth of the healing process. Shipibo treatments ensure that your foundation can fully benefit from the dieta’s teachings.
We emphasize integration work during the retreat to help guests process their experiences and deepen their healing journey.
Integration and Support
Personal Consultations with the Maestro
Maestros share insights from their Ayahuasca visions and create a personal treatment plan to address your unique healing needs. These consultations ensure that your journey is guided with care and aligned with your spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being.
Group Integration Circles
After each ceremony, we hold group integration circles where participants can openly share their experiences, reflections, and emotions. Guided by experienced facilitators, these circles create a safe and supportive space for understanding and processing your visions, with the added benefit of community connection and shared healing.
Daily Reflection and Meditation
We provide time and space for daily reflection and meditation, encouraging guests to absorb their experiences and reconnect with their inner selves. Through mindfulness practices and guided meditations, we support you in anchoring the insights and wisdom gained during the ceremonies.
Plant Medicine & Diet Guidance
To support long-term healing, the maestros will offer recommendations for continued plant medicine use and dietary guidance tailored to your needs. This personalized plan helps reinforce the work done during the retreat and provides you with tools to sustain your physical and spiritual health after returning home.
Facilitators
Our experienced facilitators offer a variety of services throughout the retreat, tailored to enhance your healing experience. Depending on the retreat, you may benefit from yoga classes, therapy sessions, sound healing, and more. Each facilitator brings their unique expertise, supporting your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being to ensure a holistic and enriching journey.
Group Classes
Our retreat includes group classes designed to deepen your understanding of healing and personal growth. Topics such as trauma healing, self-love, and Shipibo Shamanism are explored, giving you tools and insights to support your journey.
