A Safe Retreat in the Peruvian Amazon
Healing Forest is a small-group ayahuasca retreat in Peru’s Amazon, offering safe ceremonies, preparation, and integration support.
Healing Forest sits on more than 18 hectares of living rainforest beside the river, surrounded by jungle sounds, fresh air, and deep quiet. Our cabins and shared spaces are intentionally simple and comfortable, designed to feel calm so your nervous system can finally exhale. At the heart of the center is our maloca (ceremony house), a dedicated space for respectful ayahuasca work held with clear structure and care.
This is a place to slow down, step away from constant stimulation, and reset. Between ceremonies, you’ll have time to rest, walk in nature, reflect, and let your experience settle. The setting supports genuine inner work: a grounded rhythm, a supportive environment, and the space to reconnect with what’s true for you.
Healing Forest exists because Álvaro proved change is possible. This center was not created as a trend, it was built after years of hard inner work, mistakes, lessons, and a clear decision to live differently.
We keep groups small, communicate clearly, and take preparation seriously. We’re here to support your process with respect, without pressure or promises.
Ceremony is only the beginning. Daily sharing circles and post‑retreat integration resources help you translate insights into healthier choices, relationships, and routines.
The Shipibo tradition represents one of the most intact and respected lineages of ayahuasca healing in Peru’s Amazon rainforest. For the Shipibo people, ayahuasca ceremonies aren’t alternative medicine, they’re primary healthcare that addresses physical, emotional, and spiritual ailments as interconnected aspects of human well-being.
Our retreats honor Amazonian traditions while staying grounded in responsibility and care. Ceremonies take place in the maloca, held by experienced healers and a supportive team. We emphasize preparation, respectful participation, and integration so the work doesn’t end when you leave the rainforest.
“I FELT SAFE ENOUGH TO BE HONEST WITH MYSELF”
What surprised me most about Healing Forest was the calm. No hype, just people who truly care. The ceremonies were powerful, but the integration circles helped me make sense of it all. I returned home clearer, more grounded, and with practical steps to keep moving forward.

“I STOPPED RUNNING FROM MY LIFE”
I came with anxiety and exhaustion, hoping the jungle could give me clarity. What I found was something simpler and more powerful: structure, safety, and a team that truly listened. The ceremonies were intense, but I always felt supported. The integration circles helped me turn insight into action, and I went home with calmer mornings, better boundaries, and a real plan to keep changing.

“THE JUNGLE HELPED ME RESET”
I didn’t realize how overstimulated I was until I arrived. The quiet, the river, the simplicity of the space, it all helped me slow down. The ceremonies were powerful, but what changed everything for me was the integration: daily circles that brought me back to reality and helped me understand what the medicine was showing me. I returned home lighter and more grounded.
