🌞 12-Day Itinerary Overview

Days 1–2 – Arrival & Preparation

Arrive at Azabu Retreat from 1:00 PM. After settling in, participants meet the facilitators and shamans for an opening talk and intention-setting session. You’ll receive guidance on diet, ceremony structure, and the healing process. The first night includes a gentle cleansing ritual and meditation to open the journey.

Days 3–5 – Opening Ceremonies

The first and second Ayahuasca ceremonies introduce you to the spirit of the medicine. These nights focus on cleansing emotional energy and connecting with your heart. Integration circles follow each ceremony, allowing space to share and reflect.

Days 6–7 – Rest, Reflection & Nature Connection

You’ll spend these days grounding through yoga, journaling, and guided nature walks. Herbal baths and optional kambo or sananga sessions are available for deeper detoxification.

Days 8–10 – Deep Healing Ceremonies

The third and fourth Ayahuasca ceremonies go deeper into transformation. Many participants experience emotional release, ancestral healing, and new spiritual insights. Between ceremonies, facilitators offer one-on-one guidance and energy balancing.

Day 11 – Integration & Gratitude

This day focuses on grounding and reflection. A group sound-healing session and a closing integration circle help you prepare for your final ceremony. Participants often experience a deep sense of peace and understanding at this stage.

Day 12 – Final Ceremony & Departure

The sixth and final Ayahuasca ceremony serves as the closing gateway of your retreat — a celebration of healing, clarity, and rebirth. After brunch and a blessing from the shamans, departures begin around midday. Airport transfers are provided.

🌿 The Ayahuasca Experience

Ayahuasca is more than a medicine — it is a teacher of truth and self-realization. The brew, traditionally used by the Shipibo people, opens the heart and reveals the deeper layers of consciousness.
Each ceremony is guided by experienced shamans who channel healing through icaros, sacred songs that cleanse and realign your energetic body. Under their care, you are fully supported as you face and release emotional blockages, limiting beliefs, and old patterns.
Because the process unfolds over twelve days, healing becomes gradual and stable, allowing integration to happen naturally and gently.
