Ayahuasca Retreats - For Those Ready to Do Real Work

Yes. Ayahuasca is legal in Peru and is recognized as part of the country’s cultural and spiritual heritage.

However, legality does not guarantee safety or professionalism. There is no strict regulation of retreat centers. This means that the quality of care, experience of facilitators, and safety protocols can vary widely from one center to another.

At Seven Retreats, we operate with a clear standard:

• Experienced indigenous maestros with decades of training
• Full medical screening and contraindication review
• Trauma-informed support before, during, and after the retreat
• Small, carefully held groups

Just because something is legal does not mean it is responsibly held. Choosing the right environment matters.

This is one of the most important decisions you will make. A safe ayahuasca retreat is not defined by marketing, aesthetics, or promises of transformation – it is defined by structure, experience, and responsibility.

Here are the key things to look for:

1. Experience of the maestros. Work with indigenous healers who have decades of training, not individuals who recently entered the work.
2. Medical screening and contraindication awareness. A serious retreat will require a full health intake and review medications carefully. This is non-negotiable.
3. Small group size. Large groups reduce safety and attention. You should not feel like part of a production line.
4. Consistent, professional team. Avoid centers that rely on rotating staff or volunteers. The same experienced team should be present throughout your process.
5. Preparation and integration support. The work does not start or end with the ceremony. Proper guidance before and after is essential.
6. Clear boundaries and honest communication. A responsible center will not promise quick fixes or guaranteed outcomes. They will be direct about the work required from you.

At Seven Retreats, we built our entire approach around these principles. If a center does not take these elements seriously, it is worth reconsidering. Your safety matters more than filling a retreat.

You’ll experience a series of traditional ceremonies with Ayahuasca, Huachuma (San Pedro), and other plant medicines – combined with integration workshops, cleansing rituals, and personalized support throughout. You’ll also enjoy daily meals, beautiful lodging, and an excursion to a local indigenous community.

No prior experience is necessary. Whether you’re new or seasoned in your healing journey, our facilitators will gently guide and support you throughout the retreat.

We limit each retreat to a small, intimate group (no more than 12 guests) to ensure personalized attention and a safe, connected atmosphere.

We provide a thorough Preparation Guide, including dietary restrictions, emotional readiness practices, and suggested journaling or meditation. You’ll also complete a pre-retreat screening with our team to ensure you’re supported from day one.

Yes. Certain medications and health conditions are not compatible with plant medicines. Please carefully review our Health & Safety Guidelines and consult with your physician. All guests must complete a health screening with us before attending.

Our team is equipped with experienced maestros and skilled facilitators who can help ground, reassure, and guide you during intense moments. Post-ceremony sharing circles and integration sessions are also offered.

Difficult experiences are often part of the healing process. We provide emotional and spiritual support throughout your journey and help you understand and integrate these experiences meaningfully.

Integration is a core part of our offering. We provide group sharing sessions, post-retreat resources, and access to ongoing online integration calls. Our goal is to help you carry the retreat’s insights into lasting transformation.

Yes. We encourage community-building and offer optional follow-up integration calls. Many of our guests stay in contact with facilitators and fellow participants for continued support.
