About This Retreat
YOUR GUIDES
Welcome to 🏔️ Amayama 🏔️, a Sanctuary of Healing ⛩️
Axis and Chiara open their home and temple to welcome you into a sacred space where ancestral shamanic wisdom meets modern psychological care.
This retreat offers a complete 3-day journey with two ceremonies, integration, and the care of an experienced team, all in a safe, intimate and supportive environment.
☀️ The Journey ☀️
This 3-day retreat is designed as a carefully paced process, guiding you through two ceremonies and closing with integration support. In a small and intimate group (max 5 participants), each day has its own focus:
- ⛩️ Day 1 - First Ayahuasca Ceremony : Often, the first Ayahuasca ceremony serves to cleanse mental and emotional blockages that interfere with a deeper connection with the medicine and life itself.
- ⛩️ Day 2 - Second Ayahuasca Ceremony :The second ceremony builds on the first, which has cleansed and opened the way. This allows you to connect more deeply with the Spirit of Ayahuasca, immersing yourself fully in the transformative journey of insight, healing, and heart-opening.
- 🕊️ Day 3 - Integration & Support : The last day is dedicated to ground, reflect, and integrate. Sharing Circles and Natural Psychology practices help you embody the medicine’s wisdom and carry it into daily life.
👥 1:1 Guide:Participant Ratio

With a maximum of 5 participants, each retreat remains intimate and deeply supported, allowing the work with Ayahuasca to unfold in a safe and grounded way.
🎶 Shamanic Ceremonial Style
Ceremonies are held with live music, and sacred chanting. The Icaros and songs have been learned from South American and African shamans (direct apprenticeship from various traditions), and channeled during Dietas with Master Plants. Blended with curated playlists, they bring the jungle spirit to Europe, creating a deeply transformative ceremonial container.
🕊️ Integration & Support
Beyond the program itself, integration is at the heart of our work. Time for silence, reflection, and gentle rest is woven into the retreat, supported by guidance from Axis & Chiara. Sharing Circles and Natural Psychology sessions give you concrete tools to root your experience in everyday life.
🌱 Adapted for First-Timers & Experienced Explorers
Whether you are stepping into ceremony for the first time or returning to deepen your path, this retreat provides the perfect doorway into the world of plant medicine. With a maximum of 5 participants, you receive close guidance & attention, nourishing meals, peaceful rest and nature immersion, all within a safe and sacred container.
