RETREATS OVERVIEW
Retreats at Casa Del Maestro offer a balance of supporting activities with traditional Amazonian plant medicine, integration, and time for rest, reflection and sharing.
We make sure each guest is prepared, arrives safely, and has the tools they need to navigate the ayahuasca experience. Each person is guided & supported—individually and as part of the group—to learn about the medicine, how it works, and how it can help people realize their intentions. What we offer complements our commitment to tradition, with a clear focus on healing and making positive change through ayahuasca and plant medicine.

AYAHUASCA
Experience the medicine in a simple, powerful, effective way.
Ayahuasca ceremonies are led by Maestro Ayahuasquero-Palero Don Alberto Torres Davila and supported by our experienced medicine team. Guests are encouraged to go deep, find solutions, and discover meaning through the process. Our approach empowers individuals—to connect with themselves, each other, the plants, and their lives. The result is an open, exploratory space that cultivates dynamic, transformative experiences.
PLANT MEDICINE
We share Amazonian plant medicine in a comfortable, authentic setting.
Our support structure complements the experience in a clear, practical way. We make it a priority to educate and empower guests by showing how this process works, without frills or filters, so that each person can translate the medicine experience into lasting, impactful change.
