Aya and Mushrooms Deepening · 5-Day Ayahuasca & Mushrooms Retreat
What Makes This Retreat Special
At Amayama, this 5-day immersion retreat combines the depth and heart-opening of Ayahuasca with the clarity and nature-connected insights of Mushrooms.
With an experienced team and an intimate setting (maximum 5 participants), we create a safe and supportive environment for deep healing and personal growth, blending traditional shamanic practices with modern psychological care.
Highlights of this Retreat

The second builds on this foundation, allowing deeper connection with the Spirit of Ayahuasca and a more profound journey of insight, healing, and heart-opening.

🎶 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.
