The Ayahuasca Foundation Weblog

The Ayahuasca Foundation offers Spirit Healing Retreats in the beauty and tranquility of the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest. Participants work closely with indigenous healers, called curanderos, to change the direction of their lives, specifically with respect to their physical, emotional, and spiritual health.  Treatments include plant remedies, healing massage, therapeutic discussions, and traditional ayahuasca healing ceremonies.  The curanderos work on all levels to treat the afflictions, including spiritual dimensions that are not recognized by modern medicine.

Because these powerful shamans are still familiar with the ancient healing techniques and traditions of plant spirit medicine, they are able to access the roots of many afflictions that would be considered uncurable in Western Society.  Once the curandero and the patient have discovered the roots of the affliction, then the healing process works to pull those roots and bring the physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies back into harmony.  Participants learn a great deal about themselves and the importance of love and compassion in maintaining a healthy, balanced life.  Most Ayahuasca Healing Retreat participants return home with a new outlook on life, and a new path to follow.

Last year, a man from Los Angeles came down for our 18-day retreat in January.  He had been diagnosed with colon cancer four years earlier and it could not be cured with modern medicine.  He recieved treatment and made great progress.  When he returned to the US, he had an exam to see if the cancer had been minimized.  He was happy to hear that he was now cancer free.  In less than three weeks he had been completely healed of colon cancer.  Here in the Amazon, the curanderos have a saying, “Nothing is impossible when you truly want it.”  In spanish, the word to want also means to love, so it could also be said that nothing is impossible when you truly love it.
