Sacred plant ceremony at Hamadryade Lodge

The retreat

Deep healing
with sacred plants

The Amazon holds ancient wisdom that sacred plants offer to those seeking to heal, remember and expand their consciousness. Amazonian Reconnection is a 7-day retreat designed to immerse you in the wisdom of the jungle with the guidance of shamans and traditional healers.

We work with four master plants — ayahuasca, San Pedro, kambo and hape — combined with temazcal and integration practices. Each ceremony is a step in a carefully orchestrated journey toward reconnecting with your essence.

This is not a retreat for everyone. It is for those who feel the call of the jungle and are willing to look inward with honesty and openness.
