The Ayahuasca workshops are for those people who seek a responsible way of spiritually opening to their self awareness and higher consciousness. The workshops offer us the key to ancestral shamanic practices which will lead us to expanded states of consciousness. The activities and practices throughout the week are combined with the excursions and exploration of the Amazon rain forest. The Workshop is intended for psychosomatic cleansing, consciousness exploration and holistic healing.

The purpose of Ayahuasca Workshop is to transform the emotional traumas and negative mind patterns, to identify and transform the obstacles standing in the way for being in harmony and love with the community and oneself. Through physical and psychological cleansing and teachings of the sacred Ayahuasca medicine a person gets an opportunity to see the life from a whole perspective. Within a light of expanded awareness and inner vision, that is combined with the workshop’s guidance, we can learn to cultivate the mindfulness and discover our own inner wisdom.

The processes that develop in a sacred medicine space in long-term provide the vital strength and nurture the spiritual sincerity. The workshop week is organized in a way to incorporate the joy of exploration and the state of fulfillment from the inner journeys with the Ayahuasca medicine. For that the participants are given thorough guidance and attention. The holistic healing qualities of Ayahuasca tea are gradually uncovered by integration of one’s experience and by grounding it into day-to-day life’s context.

The workshop consists of different tours and traditional guided Ayahuasca ceremonies. The experiential workshop joins together various practices and non-dual integration modalities, like mindfulness meditation, Yoga, breathing, insightful listening and a personal space for self-reflection.

Throughout the workshop we hold three Ayahuasca ceremonies (the 1st, 3rd and the 5th evening) in a comfortable and native ritual setting. The ceremonies represent the traditional and conventional practices to facilitate deep introspection and holistic therapy.
Optional meditation and yoga practice is offered in the morning.

Accommodation

The workshop is held  in Corto Maltes Amazonia jungle lodge, near-by the jungle city of Puerto Maldonado which is accessible by air in a 90min flight from Lima or 40min flight from Cusco. Puerto Maldonado is a regional center for Madre de Dios province located in the south-east of the Peruvian Amazon. Upon arrival you are picked-up in the airport and then transferred to the jungle lodge by a boat, 40min drive down by Madre de Dios river . The lodge is located on a beautiful and peaceful place in the rain forest, surrounded by the nature of Amazon jungle.

After an a refreshing welcome drink and delicious lunch, you are accommodated in the comfortable wooden bungalows with private bathroom, 24h hot and cold showers, screened by a mosquito net. In the afternoon, after some rest, we introduce to the program for the following week of the Workshop, explaining the Ayahuasca ritual guidelines and the program of excursions and tours.

The workshop is guided Edmunds and co-guided by Antonio Fernandini.

Corto Maltes offers guided walks through the “trochas” of the Lodge in a hike. On the hike we will see a variety of trees and medicinal tropical plants. We will learn how they are used in local Amazon traditions.

During the week we do various tours and boat-trips to the Monkey Island (dry season only), visit to the Tambopata natural reserve, the Sandoval Lake, excursion to Ese Eja indigenous community and various walking excursions in the rain forest near the lodge. The lodge will offer us abundant vegetarian meals, using fresh jungle products.
