Start your journey today!

While there are differences in the schedule and focus of each retreat type, all retreats provide a combination of ancient medicine and modern tools to heal and support you to live your best life.

  • Embark on a life-changing journey of self-discovery, healing and growth. Shift from a Newtonian (limited) to Quantum (unlimited) state. Be held in a safe space for connection to yourself and others.

  • Stay in the world’s largest natural pharmacy. The lush Amazon rainforest offers an abundance of mystical healing resources, plants and the creative impulses we yearn to awaken within ourselves. Iquitos, built in the middle of the jungle, has long attracted travelers, yogis and spiritual seekers from all over the globe who are inspired by the rich traditions and ancient wisdom of the Peruvian culture.

  • Receive holistic self development guidance by our expert team, before, on and after retreat. ​This includes an assigned mentor throughout your time on retreat. Group sizes are limited to 10 spaces to provide the highest level of attention and care. 

  • Go beyond the physical with ancient sacred medicine ceremonies. Immerse yourself in authentic ceremonies  (depending on your program: Ayahuasca, Iboga, San Pedro, Kambo and Bufo). Each program is carefully designed to guide you toward greater wellbeing and higher consciousness. Experience energetic renewal with other uplifting plant-based cleansing and energy healing treatments (plant bath, vapor bath and sacred tabocco).

  • Explore the Amazon. Set sail on an Amazon river boat ride, connecting you with the awe-inspiring beauty of nature and encounters with exotic birds, playful dolphins, and captivating wildlife (not that the excursion day is available only on the INDIGO retreat program - see below).

"Without a doubt, this was one of the most magical and profound experiences I have ever had. I was welcomed into the family right from the get go, and felt so at home during the whole week that I didn't want to leave! I am so inspired by these sisters because they walk the talk themselves and lead by example. The level of care, spiritual knowledge and professionalism is truly outstanding. Thank you Modern Ancient for setting me on a journey to live my true purpose!" 

- Sarah P, San Diego

PROGRAM DETAILS

All programs are structured to use a sacred medicine to drive profound alignment and deep healing of mind, body and soul. ​Our programs are carefully designed to provide an effective way of developing self-awareness to support personal growth, which leads to positive life changes. We further facilitate your connection to nature, where unity with all of creation opens up a deeper healing and self exploration journey.

Please check the important booking process information and contraindications, prior to requesting and paying for your retreat program. ​Our process comprises a risk assessment for the safety of all (participant, group and team). Specifically, it includes - pre-screening and a student assessment evaluation during the online booking process  - 1:1 onboarding video call ​These steps support us to get to know you better and thoroughly plan for your visit. Following a successful onboarding, we prepare you for the experience with our pre-retreat materials and guidance. You are welcome to connect with our intake team to answer any questions beforehand. Lastly, we will be in touch to confirm your flight details and pick up/ drop off logistics.

Your retreat will take place in a legal, safe and educational environment. Our program is carefully designed to start your integration process right from the very beginning.  Our retreats are hosted by experienced and supportive facilitators, healers and mentors. You will be assigned a mentor for your one to one meetings so you'll have a trusted point of contact at all times throughout your experience. We careful monitor each student and our oversight extends to preparation of sacred medicines used in ceremonies and other plant treatments.

Scared medicine ceremonies are powerful and provide deep healing long after the sacred ceremony experience has passed. However, to continue to effectively evolve and change to create your best life, an intentional effort is required on your part to propel meaningful change going forward. Support is key to meaningful integration. We start your integration from your first day with us, giving you the recommended tools and post retreat options for the continuation of your journey.  Book your 1:1 online integration/ post retreat check in. Interested students are guided to safely work with Iboga. Our Iboga mircodosing program includes all the details you need to move forward with Iboga.

Wow! I don't know where to start or if words can explain but I'll try. I feel my soul, my ancestors, my pain and my power to create more than what I am sitting in now. I had special visions and visits from my deceased family members with so much love and acceptance. The place is fantastic in the jungle. A stellar team, on point with the holistic education, very grounded and easy to talk to - really like my soul family. I'll never forget my time here at Modern Ancient, and I feel that Cara and Suya's light will always be with me. Thank you everyone, I am truly grateful and can't wait to come again next year.
