UPCOMING RETREATS
special RETREAT offering
Ayahuasca Retreat in the Peruvian Amazon
November 12 – 22 | 11 days / 10 nights
You are invited into a traditional ayahuasca retreat in the Peruvian Amazon, led by Sowa Nete, with ceremonies and plant treatments guided by Maestra Elisa and her Shipibo lineage.
This journey offers the opportunity to live and experience Shipibo medicine and culture from the inside—learning about the origins of the medicine, the lineage, and the land it comes from.
The retreat includes three ayahuasca ceremonies, a master plant dieta, and traditional healing work, supported by daily practices and spacious time for reflection.
The final part of the retreat is dedicated to integration outside the jungle, with two days in and around Pucallpa. We will travel by boat, spend time at a rescue center and explore local and Shipibo markets with their art and handmade goods. These days offer a soft transition back into the world, helping to ground the experience and bring it into daily life.

OUR MASTERS
At Sowa Nete, we walk in the footsteps of wisdom passed down through generations. Our foundation is rooted in the Shipibo tradition of the Peruvian Amazon—one of the most respected lineages of Ayahuasca medicine. Over the years, we have also been guided by masters and teachers from diverse traditions in India, Indonesia, Ecuador, Russia, Brazil, and Costa Rica, each bringing unique perspectives and blessings to our path.
ABOUT PLANT MEDICINE
ABOUT AYAHUASCA
Ayahuasca is an ancient Amazonian plant medicine used for healing, awakening, and deep inner transformation. At Sowa Nete, we honor this sacred tradition with respect, guidance, and safe practices. Learn how this medicine can help you reconnect with yourself, release what no longer serves you, and open your heart to new possibilities.
PREPARATION & INTEGRATION
Preparing for an Ayahuasca retreat is more than getting ready for the ceremony—it’s about opening to transformation. We guide you gently, helping you arrive grounded, aligned, and ready to set your intention.
The ceremony is just one part of the journey. True healing often continues afterward, which is why we place loving attention on integration—supporting you to weave insights and growth into your daily life. You won’t walk away alone; we’re here to help you carry the medicine forward, gently and sustainably.
ABOUT PSILOCYBIN
Psilocybin has been revered in ancestral traditions for its ability to open the mind and heart to deeper truths. Today, modern science is confirming these timeless insights. Clinical studies show psilocybin’s potential to reduce depression, ease anxiety, and foster lasting changes in well-being. At Sowa Nete, we combine this wisdom and research with safe, supportive settings—helping you access clarity, healing, and profound inner growth.
ABOUT HAPE
Hapé is a sacred Amazonian medicine prepared from finely ground plants and tobacco. We work with Hapé as a supportive ally—used for grounding, focus, and connecting more deeply with yourself and the spirit of the medicines.

Authentic
Our facilitators live and breathe this path. We bring ancient traditions into the present moment with humility and integrity, creating spaces where you can truly connect—with the medicine, with yourself, and with the sacred.
Safe
Safety is the foundation of every journey we hold. We prepare and serve the medicine with deep respect and prayer, honoring each person’s unique path. In this sacred space, you can open, trust, and surrender — gently held in love and protection.

We create a sacred container where you can feel, express, release, and heal—at your own pace, in your own way. Everything is rooted in love, professionalism, and deep care for your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
COACHING
Our coaching program is designed to help you unlock your full potential. With Mario’s guidance, you’ll cultivate discipline, deepen meditation practices, and embark on a journey of self-discovery.

- Develop consistent routines and a commitment to self-improvement, building the foundation for lasting growth.
- Foster mental clarity, reduce stress, and deepen mindfulness in daily life.
