People come out transformed. And they stay that way.
Most retreat centers end when you leave. Paojilhuasca doesn’t. A week in the Amazon with Ayahuasca, Kambo, Yopo—that opens the door. Then comes the real work: 77 days of structured integration at home, where the challenges actually live. That’s why our guests show sustained psychological growth six months later. That’s why they come back. That’s why the transformation sticks.

At Paojilhuasca, the retreat isn’t the end. It’s the beginning.
THE RETREAT + 77 DAYS ·
One week in ceremony. Then 77 days of integration that actually works.
At Paojilhuasca, the retreat isn’t the end. It’s the beginning.
The Week: Ayahuasca and Kambo ceremonies held by two maestros—Don Gardel and La Maestra Alicia—who bring seven years of lineage and thousands of hours of practice. A physician reviews every guest’s medical history before arrival. A nurse is on site. Groups stay small. The medicine opens something. Then the real work starts.
The 77 Days: You come home. Integration circles run twice weekly, led by Kate Arpin (who leads our integration community). The Paojilhuasca Integration App gives you daily prompts, somatic practices, dreamwork protocols—tools designed by a biomedical researcher to help your nervous system actually land the experience. You’re not alone trying to make sense of what happened. The team is with you.
Why This Matters: Most people who do ayahuasca have an experience, then return to life and lose it. The insights fade. The clarity softens. The opening closes. We built a system so that doesn’t happen. That’s why our guests measure psychological growth six months later, not just days after the ceremony.
Are you ready to answer the call?
77 days at home. With support.
The Paojilhuasca Integration App is not a guided journal. It’s a protocol:
– Daily somatic practices based on how your nervous system integrates non-ordinary states
– Dreamwork frameworks to keep processing the medicine as it moves through your sleep
– Relational guidance for navigating relationships that have shifted after the experience opens you
– Grounding practices for moments when the integration feels unstable
– Weekly integration circles (live video calls) with Kate Arpin and other Paojilhuasca guests—same container, same language, real accountability
Why this changes everything: The ceremony gives you the experience. The integration gives you the life. That’s why people stay changed.
The numbers: What six months looks like
– 19% mean psychological growth (measured on validated nondual embodiment scales)
– 70%+ of guests report sustained lifestyle shifts (clarity about what matters, deepened relationships, less reactivity)
– 80%+ say integration support was critical to holding the opening after they went home
– 60%+ of guests complete the full 77-day protocol, something most centers can’t claim because most don’t offer it
The growth isn’t uniform—the medicine meets you where you are. But it’s real and it’s there.
Yes. Our guests show measurable growth six months after retreat on validated psychological scales. But only if integration is designed into the process. That's why we spend as much time on the 77 days after as we do on the week in ceremony.
That's exactly why Kate Arpin leads it. Integration isn't something you do alone. It's something we do together—circles, app guidance, somatic practices. You're supported the whole way.
Yes. Women are always part of the leadership team. Zero incidents in seven years. But more importantly: you don't leave alone. You enter a community of integration that extends 77 days. You're held the entire time.
Our physician screens every guest before arrival and we turn people away when the medicine isn't right for them. That refusal to compromise is how we keep the work real and grounded.
We provide a complete preparation guide with diet, mindset, and lifestyle recommendations before arrival.

Safe enough to come alone
In a field where many travelers—women especially—have learned to be cautious, we built differently. Women are always part of the team holding the space, never just men. Groups are small, never more than ten. Seven years, zero incidents.
Many of the people who change most deeply here travel alone. They come, sit with the medicine, do the 77-day integration at home (with support), and leave knowing they were genuinely held. That trust isn’t accidental. It’s built.
THE DIFFERENCE: WHY INTEGRATION MATTERS
Why most retreat centers lose their guests. And why we don’t.
A ceremony is a door. But most retreat centers abandon you the moment you walk through it.
You leave Peru. You try to hold the opening. Your family doesn’t understand. Your work pulls you back. The insights feel fragile. By month two, you’re questioning whether it even happened.
Paojilhuasca was built by a biomedical researcher who studied exactly this problem: why do people change in ceremony but revert at home? The answer: they need structure, community,
and skilled guidance during the integration—not just the ceremony.
That’s Kate Arpin. That’s the app. That’s the twice-weekly circles. That’s the 77 days of active support that most centers don’t offer because it requires ongoing staffing and rigor.
It’s also why our guests still report growth six months later, while most retreat centers have no follow-up data at all.
People come out transformed. And they stay that way.“
Why it’s different: Other centers sell the experience. We sell the outcome. And the outcome is backed by a 77-day integration protocol that actually works.
The differentiator: Kate Arpin + the app + the talking circles + ongoing support = the reason our guests show sustained psychological growth six months later while most centers have no follow-up data.
The proof: 19% mean psychological growth, 80% say integration was critical, 60% complete the full protocol (when most centers have zero follow-up).
This is why you’re losing guests in 2026: the market is flooded with ceremony. You’re selling the only thing that *keeps* the transformation real: integration that doesn’t end.
