What happens if I cannot attend the dates I booked? We understand that life happens and traveling restrictions are constantly changing. If you cannot travel as long as you provide us 2+ week notice, we will keep your payment on file and work with you to book a new better date. Payments are non-refundable, but can be rescheduled until used, transferred or donated. (within a 12 month period) What are the accommodations like? The Retreats take place in the Maloka (Indigenous Ayahuasca Temple) which means that you’ll have a comfortable, open concept, shared accommodation by the fire in the midst of nature. (Comfortable bedding, mats and pillows are provided.) *A private cabin in the land with a double bed can be rented if you desire more privacy.  Can women on their period participate in ceremony? When a woman is going through her Moon cycle, she is already experiencing her body’s natural medicine. This is a sacred time – according to the indigenous tradition – for women. During her moon, she spends time doing only the things she loves and being taken care of and supported by the men of the community. A woman who gets her menstruation during or before a retreat, cannot drink ayahuasca due to potential hemorrhages (and a high likelihood of her body destabilizing by having both medicines at the same time) So if you are a woman/couple planning to attend, please plan around your menstruation cycles so you don’t have to miss out on any part of the process. And if your cycle is unstable let us know and keep a flexible flight booking so that your attendance may be adjusted if necessary. Who shares the medicine? Jeronimo Delgado &/or Taita Henrii Danilo Muchavisoy are the Shamans of this temple, carriers of the Yage tradition through the ancestral teachings of the Inga culture, from the Amazon jungles. They have 36+ years of combined experience supporting the healing journey of thousands of people. Their medicine is unaltered and prepared in the midst of nature/jungle in a pure way. Next to them, several experienced medicine men and women come to gather and share their gifts and cleansing processes with the participants (*only in the 9-12 day retreats)   I have high-blood pressure/I’m on medications, can I still attend? Yes, we have treated thousands of people with these conditions. While filling out the application form there is a question for you to let us know the medical conditions you have so we can have our in-house Doctor review your file and recommend the ideal ways to prepare (or recommend against participation if needed) We often have a medical doctor overseeing the health of our participants. I’d love to research more before I make a decision, where do I start? We started a Youtube channel called Ayahuasca Colombia where you can learn a lot of the DO’s & DON’Ts of plant medicine, and educate yourself properly around best practices and guidelines. Also, feel free to follow us on instagram @ayahuasca.colombia Where are you located? Our temple and Ayahuasca community are located in the neighbouring mountains of Guarne, Antioquia – just an hour outside of Medellin, Colombia. Private transportation can be arranged for our participants from the airport and into the mountain forests at a small fee.  Exact coordinates and logistical details sent upon confirmation of assistance and payment.
