What Makes a Great Retreat?

There’s a big difference between a nice vacation and a transformational retreat. Unfortunately, sometimes we can’t tell the difference… Here are some things to look out for:

 

Trusted Facilitators

Arguably, one of the most important things to look out for is the facilitators, because they can make a world of difference. You want to be in the hands of facilitators who not only know what they’re doing, but who lead with humility, care, and love.

 

A True Sacred Space

The retreat setting itself should feel like a living, breathing extension of the work you’re doing. It should be full of support, compassion, and honor your journey… not treat it like a checklist or money grab.

 

Authenticity Over Hype

Sometimes it’s tempting to jump into the next shiny thing that presents itself, but a real retreat doesn’t shout at you through fancy marketing and cheap gimmicks. Authenticity is crucial when selecting a retreat.

 

Featured Retreats

Here are some of my favorite shamanic retreat centers that I have been to and personally vouch for.

Gaia Sagrada is a large shamanic retreat center located in the Ecuadorian Andes. Retreats are excellent value for money, and include daily workshops and activities. Gaia Sagrada includes ceremonies of Ayahuasca, San Pedro, Sweat Lodges, and Kambo.
Michi Hampi is a small medicine community located in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Rustic, but deeply authentic. Operates more like a hostel - book accommodation and pay per ceremony. They work with Ayahuasca, Wachuma, Mushrooms, Bufo, and more.
Magia Del Duende is a center in the Peruvian Amazon that focuses on Master Plant Dietas. Very rustic, however it's authentic, and one of the best priced master plant dieta retreats I've seen in Peru.
