The Medicine

Our Ayahuasca is crafted exclusively with Ayahuasca vine and Chacruna leaf. As one of the few fully female-owned and operated Ayahuasca centers, we are proud to harness the transformative feminine energy of Mother Ayahuasca. We believe that a strong feminine presence cultivates a powerful inner masculine in everyone.

The Lodge

Flower of Life Ayahuasca Healing Center is located directly on the Marañon river and runs out in one of most pristine places in the Amazonian Peruvian jungle (Pacaya Samiria National Reserve). Many find that being close to the water when working with Ayahuasca has a profound healing effect. The Lodge was built in the style of the Inca temples and many maestras who come through believe that the land once housed an Inca temple based on the pyramid landscape and the presence of the spirits they feel. While drinking in a more rustic setting with large groups can be profound, at Flower of Life Ayahuasca Healing Center, we try to use light and beauty to help heal, so we provide spacious cottages with private showers and bathrooms for those working with the medicine, as well as electricity at night and limit our groups to a maximum of 8 people. Working with Ayahuasca might be one of the most intense processes you’ll ever go through, so we’ve worked to build a truly comfortable (and slightly luxurious) space to live in during your retreat to make the process as beautiful as possible.

The Shamans

We work in the ancient and traditional way of the Shipibo. We only work in small groups during the retreat so everyone can receive truly individualized and personal attention.

Our shamans have trained and practiced for decades, are a wealth of information and are happy to give you feedback at the end of your retreat. Along with our Shipibo maestras and maestros we also provide plant remedies if you need extra help. We work with Mapacho (tobacco) and other medicinal plants if necessary.

Activities

While you will have plenty of down time for relaxation and introspection, since we are located in such a scenic and untouched part of the Amazon, we frequently do boat rides to swim with the pink dolphins, enjoy bird watching, and take jungle walks to explore the Amazon. Don’t be shocked if you spot sloths hanging from the trees or come across armadillos and nocturnal monkeys on the way back to your cottage.

We are located within a preserved area of the Amazon called Pacaya Samiria. Unlike centers where you have to go on long walks into the grounds, which requires large amounts of deforestation, we are in the virgin Amazon and prefer to keep the area around the lodge in it’s natural state, so you will also have plenty of opportunities to take in the mystical world that is the Amazon rainforest.
