Come to this 9 day all-inclusive retreat and grant yourself the opportunity to experience transcendence, accelerated healing, and deep psychological, emotional, and spiritual awakening through the unique merging of ancient, indigenous medicines, shamanism and modern psychology in the beautiful Amazon of Peru.

Facilitated by psychotherapist Meriana Dinkova, this retreat will offer three Ayahuasca ceremonies with the clairvoyant Curandera Borka Cafuk and one San Pedro ceremony with the Ancient Ancestral Communicator- the San Pedro shaman Kucho, who will be flying in from Machu Picchu specifically for the retreat.

Participants will also have the opportunity to experience Sapo (the powerful frog medicine) and Nunu (snuff with tobacco and herbs).

“Ayahuasca is like psychotherapy on steroids. In one night you can experience the kind of transformation that can take 10 years of therapy to achieve” -Unknown (but the quote is often true) ? The long term effects multiply when those two healing modalities get combined.

The powerful impact of these ceremonies will be translated, amplified, and cemented through daily transformational workshops with Meriana, designed to help you navigate the shamanic landscapes, and make the most out of your medicine journeys. You will learn & practice the unique multi-modality system she has developed for navigating the Ayahuasca experience.

The workshops will give you a framework, a map, and a cutting edge tool kit to help enrich your journeys and avoid many common pitfalls. You will learn how to approach and navigate the shamanic psychedelic space in a safe, masterful way, so as to maximize the spiritual transformation it can provide. Most importantly, you will get guidance on how to integrate your experiences into your daily life in a way that brings lasting change.

“The key to all of your behaviors is hidden in a box that you can’t open using normal tools, your subconscious needs a different recipe than the one you’ve been using.” ― Gerard Armond Powell

Your entire 9 days of transformational work will be set in the powerful awe of the natural Amazon jungle in Peru.

Ayahuasca is described as a ‘passport to other dimensions’ and has been in use in many South American cultures for over 5,000 years. San Pedro on the other hand, as Kucho describes it, opens you to a deeper experience of the divine spirit in this world through nature itself.

This exclusive experience is open to only 20 participants worldwide, and will expertly combine Indigenous Shamanism & Medicine Work, Western Psychology, Eastern Spirituality and Neo-shamanism to bring you a complete transformational opportunity unlike any other. 

Facility:

The Shamans:

Borka Cafuk is a specialized Curandera (a shaman with healing powers) working with the ancient medicines, with the ability to use the forces, energies and spirits of the shamanic realms for physical and energetic healing and spiritual alignment.

During the ceremonies Borka will work with each participant individually to diagnose and remove negative or parasitic energies/entities, which can be the root behind many of our physical and emotional conditions like anxiety and depression, negative patterns, and addictions. She will take an individual approach with each participant, using the powerful Ayahuasca to help her see clearly where there are energetic imbalances. Through her healing she is able to straighten out kinks in the energetic channels, close energy leaks, release pent up energy pools that add to the energetic imbalance in the body, and remove any energetic entities that might be negatively attached to an individual. Borka is also a licensed Shiatsu Practitioner, trained martial artist in Shotokan, and a Transcendental Meditation practitioner.

“Everyone deserves a chance to be healthy, happy and free.” -Curandera Borka Cafuk
