Shipibo Healing Retreats

Peruvian Amazon in the district of Pucallpa. The Shipibo tribe are famous for their incredibly rich culture. They are masters of Ayahuasca plant medicine, and are worldwide known for their other worldly Icaros/Sacred songs, visionary art and weaving. The Shipibo’s are considered one of the most knowledgeable tribal people for the ceremonial and healing use of sacred plant medicine - ancient Shamanic healing. It is believed that they are the precursors of the use of Ayahuasca with vast knowledge from their ancient culture. Your group leader/guide and translator will be Maestro Douglas de Souza. Douglas has over 20 years of experience Ayahuasca, and plant medicine. He have held his own group circles for more than 10 years, holding sacred space both in diferent parts of the world.

“During the last 10 years, I have had the chance to work and study with different Maestro Shamans from different countries with different lineages and styles. I found the Shipibo style of working with the medicine and especially their singing to be the deepest and most ancestral sacred medicine singing I had ever experienced. Shipibo Ayahuasqero Shamans have a very fine and intricate singing style, which is the main healing tool that they use along with the medicine itself.” -d souza

These powerful Icaros and sacred chanting is an experience which is mysterious, transforming, healing, and beautiful. On his journeys to the region he had the chance to be in ceremony with several different Shipibo Maestros, and in one occasion he had the chance and the honour to drink with the 2 Shipibo Shamans, Maestra Reshin Wesna ( Elisa) , and Maestro Darwi, which he did selected to be the teachers he will be working with.
“Reshin Wesna has been working with the medicine for more than 30 years, her medicine is pure unconditional love, and her singing style is the finest indigenous singing I have had the honour to listen to, she works with Maestro Darwi who is also another amazing Shipibo Ayahuasquero Shaman. Both Shamans energies complement one another beautifully, and together they hold the most incredible, enlightening, deep, loving, strong and at the same time soft and gentle circles I have attended, and their medicine is a 5 star brew (wild Yellow Aya+ wild chacrona).” -d souza


Reshin Wesna owns a small healing center called Sanke Nete center, in a beautiful place, in the surrounding area of San Francisco village, on the borders Yarinacocha Lake, in Pucallpa district, the heart of Shipibo culture and medicine. Yarinacocha is an area which is less touristic, due to its more difficult to access and because it is not so advertised, what makes it therefore a much more authentic experience to be had. The centre has a lovely ’ Maloca’ for the ceremonies, kitchen, dry compost toilets, rooms and little huts shared and private which can accommodate up to 18 people. The centre has a lake, surrounded by beautiful nature and magical Amazonian atmosphere. This is an ideal place for a retreat and doing diets, as it is not too close to the village and is very peaceful, and protected .You will also have time to relax in the jungle in order to go deeper with your own healing and connect with nature and Mama Amazon. Reshin performs honest, deeply profound ancestral healing work with the medicine. Paticipants who come will experience authentic Shipibo tribal lineage. Dates: from 20th to 29th FEBRUARY (option 1)
