Ayahuasca Retreats

Costa Rica · Mexico · Peru

Led by Anke & Marie Lou. Small groups. Private casitas above the Pacific. Rooted in over 20 years of ceremonial experience. With a deep commitment inside and outside of ceremony.

Our work is who we are.

For more than twenty years we have dedicated ourselves to plant medicine: close to a thousand ceremonies and long-term dietas in isolation in the Peruvian jungle, learning from Indigenous masters and visionary mentors. What we offer is not just tradition or technique. It is the result of a long path, and it looks like us.

Our work is a living synthesis: ancient plant wisdom alongside contemporary approaches to healing, from philosophy to trauma-informed and somatic work. And the ceremony is only half of it. What comes after, integration, embodiment, real change in daily life, matters to us just as much.

In our space, you are welcome with all that you are, have been, and may become.

  • "Never have I experienced ceremonies so peaceful, intimate, and deep, all at the same time. The whole experience has spoiled my ability to do this type of work again with anyone but these two beautiful souls. The program has been thought through and there is a purpose to all of it."

MASTER PLANT DIETA

"Playing with Infinity isn't about escaping the world. It's about growing strong enough to shape it."

We work with people who are genuinely willing to engage, take responsibility, and meet themselves with honesty. Safety and trust are not principles for us. They are practice.

Our style of work is a fusion of ancient and modern consciousness-expanding techniques: trauma-informed integration, somatic work, meditation, and carefully chosen ritual. A process that is both transformative and sustainable.

Beyond the retreat
