Our Retreats
Our flexible-length retreats package together everything you need to have a powerful healing experience: medicine, guidance and shamanic treatment in the form of ícaros. Whether you stay with us for a week or a month, our mode of work is intended to help you get to where you need to be next—mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
For those interested in learning shamanism, we also offer learning retreats of 3 months to a year.
