FAQ

It is 100% safe. Our retreat is carefully designed, offering the perfect balance between deep transformative work and plenty of time for rest, reflection, and integration. Each activity is guided by experienced facilitators, a dedicated medical team, and licensed therapists to ensure your comfort and safety at every step.

We do not recommend attending less professional retreat centers that work with such powerful tools without proper safety protocols or therapeutic understanding. The risks are significant — from incorrect dosing of medicinal plants to lack of psychological support during and after the experience.

It is also important to understand that, although local Amazonian shamans are skilled in their own traditions, they often come from a completely different worldview. They do not live with the pressures, stress, and complex psychological challenges faced by Europeans and Americans in modern life. Therefore, they may have limited experience guiding someone through these specific issues — and, most importantly, helping integrate the deep insights of the ceremony into daily life after returning home. Our program bridges these worlds — combining the sacred and authentic wisdom of the Amazon with modern therapeutic methods that address today's realities, ensuring both a safe and truly transformative experience.

We have been operating here for over five years without any incident. Our retreat center is located on the edge of the jungle — close enough to connect deeply with nature, yet not isolated from the outside world.

We adhere to strict international safety standards: the property is secured, facilities are well-maintained, and access to roads and nearby cities is always available. Constant supervision by our team ensures you are supported 24/7.

In the unlikely event of a medical (which has never occurred due to mandatory screening and proper preparation) or logistical emergency, our staff is trained to respond immediately, with medical professionals on-site and transport ready at all times.

No — it is biologically and psychologically impossible to become addicted to ayahuasca or psilocybin. In fact, these medicinal plants often help people overcome addictions to substances like alcohol, tobacco, or other more dangerous drugs.

In everyday terms: time spent in front of screens, strong coffee, or even bread creates far more dependency than master plants such as ayahuasca or psychedelic mushrooms. Want to explore further?

No — it is biologically and psychologically impossible to become addicted to ayahuasca or psilocybin. In fact, these plants often help people overcome addictions to substances such as alcohol and tobacco (MDPIPMC).

Science confirms this: on an addiction scale (0 to 3), alcohol scores about 1.93, while classic psychedelics score only about 1.13, indicating significantly lower addictive potential (Wikipedia).

Although Victor does not personally call himself a shaman, he is officially recognized in Ecuador as a shaman and has received honorary awards for his contribution to ancestral medicine. He has conducted over 300 personal plant ceremonies and spent over 5 years studying Amazonian master plants, learning directly from more than 12 shamans in Ecuador, Brazil, and Peru, combining this wisdom with modern therapeutic methods. His approach blends deep tradition with scientifically supported modern therapy techniques. Victor has even helped heal local shamans.

Because it is ultimately science-based. This is not a tourist retreat. It is a transformative experience. Our retreat delivers results thanks to our protocols, work ethic, and combination of ancient Amazonian medicine secrets, gathered by Victor and collaborating shamans, using the most effective modern therapeutic tools. Results are backed by hundreds of personal success stories, years of experience, and scientific research.

Although we do not make medical promises, many participants report significant improvements in physical and emotional health. The retreat provides a powerful environment to activate your body's natural healing potential.

No. Every step is carefully managed — from safe, personalized plant doses to constant guidance by experienced professionals. You have 24/7 support, ensuring the process remains safe and transformative.

Currently, all our retreats take place in Ecuador — the only environment where we can legally work 100% with the plants in their natural setting under the safest and most authentic conditions. Unlike Thailand, Spain, Italy, where plants are only decriminalized but not fully legal. Plant medicine is Ecuador's official medicine and prioritized in their constitution over modern medicine.

What should I pack? Preparation begins at booking. After consultation and medical screening, our experts guide you through every detail — from diet and therapeutic preparation to what to bring. You will have everything needed to feel confident and ready for the journey.

Diet Before the retreat, following a specific diet helps cleanse and balance your body to fully benefit from the process. This includes avoiding certain foods, stimulants, and alcohol while focusing on clean, nutritious meals. Read our full diet guide.
