Ayahuasca Retreats at the Hummingbird Center

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore not popular.” Carl Jung

A Variety of Retreat Programs

Ayahuasca attracts people for a variety of reasons, and we all come at a different place in our growth and healing. Some come to add depth to their spiritual lives. Others have a sense of being blocked or stuck in life, somehow limited and hope to move beyond that. Others are looking for freedom from depression and anxiety, or to be freed from the trauma and conditioning of a troubled childhood. Even those who’s life is good and simply want to move it to a higher level can benefit from an ayahuasca retreat.

Recognizing this diversity, the Hummingbird has a variety of programs help you get the most from your time with ayahuasca. Our curandero Don Manain has over 45 years of experience.

A couple considerations on choosing a length of stay. Many people do get what they are looking for in a 9 day retreat. For others, the extra two ceremonies in the 12 day retreat make all the difference in their results. The 12 day ayahuasca retreat also allows flexibility with dosing and sitting out a ceremony, without being stressed about running out of time.

All our retreats also include a ceremony with San Pedro, the sacred cactus medicine of the Andes.
