In recent years, Ayahuasca retreats have become more accessible, with many centers offering short 3-day experiences. While this may seem convenient, at Pandorita, we believe that true healing and transformation require time. That’s why we offer eleven-day retreats, ensuring a safe, profound, and well-supported journey.
1. Deep Healing Takes Time
Ayahuasca is a powerful medicine that works on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. A single ceremony can bring up intense emotions, past traumas, and deep insights that need time to be processed and integrated. A short retreat does not provide the space needed to fully receive, understand, and ground these experiences.
2. Trust, Safety, and Community
Healing happens best in a space where you feel safe, supported, and connected. Our extended retreats allow participants to build trust—not only with the facilitators and shamans but also with the group. This sense of community and connection is a vital part of the process, helping each person feel held and supported throughout their journey.
3. Proper Preparation and Aftercare
A responsible Ayahuasca experience begins long before the first ceremony and extends far beyond the last one. Our eleven-day retreats include:
Preparation – Guidance on mindset, diet, and setting clear intentions
Six Ayahuasca Ceremonies – Allowing the medicine to work in layers over multiple nights
Integration Support – Time and space to process, group discussions, and post-retreat care
Optional Bodywork & Healing Treatments – Including Shipibo massages and flower baths to help balance and ground the experience
4. Honoring Tradition and Respect for the Medicine
The indigenous wisdom keepers who have worked with Ayahuasca for centuries emphasize that this is not a quick-fix medicine. Deep healing requires patience, surrender, and respect for the process. At Pandorita, we honor these traditions by creating an environment that supports real, lasting transformation rather than rushing through a condensed experience.
Final Thoughts on a 3-Day Ayahuasca Retreat
While a 3-day retreat may sound convenient, we strongly believe that true healing cannot be rushed. By committing to a longer retreat, you give yourself the space to fully embrace the journey, integrate your insights, and return home with a deeper sense of clarity and purpose.
