Jungle / River Tours

As for the activities on offer, you'll be treated to a boat trip and a tour of the jungle in the company of a certified guide who will show you the medicinal and master plants in their natural environment. The village also has a football pitch where the village children often play.

Moxibustion

This warming technique uses burning mugwort to stimulate acupoints, promoting circulation, warming meridians, and dispersing cold or stagnant energy. After ceremonies, it can stabilize the body’s vital energy (Qi) and help digest intense energetic movements triggered by the medicine.

Ecstatic Dance With San Pedro (Huachuma)

Post-Ceremony Renewal

The day after each ceremony, we come together for energizing HIIT workouts, flushing out stagnant energy and grounding the insights of the night before.

Morning Qigong

Each day begins with movement, breath, and stillness. A centering practice to awaken your energy and prepare you for the deeper work ahead.

Direct Shamanic Guidance

One-on-one connection with La Maestro and Don Gardel. A chance to receive personal insight, support, and wisdom throughout your path.

Shipibo Market

If the group size is large enough, a group of Shipibo woman will come to our centre to showcase their incredible handmade clothing, artwork, artisans & talisman. You will also learn more about their culture.

Bufo Ceremony (Optional, $70 USD)

The sacred toad medicine offers an intense and transcendental experience. Available for those who feel drawn to its power.

Sananga

A liquid extracted from a Brazilian shrub that is applied to the eyes to encourage receptivity to the third eye, which you can use as you wish.

Translation / Guidance

You will receive full support & care throughout your stay in each and every avenue.

Kundalini Dance Meditation

The Kundalini meditation is a 60 minutes practice with four different stages of 15 minutes each, accompanied by music which was originally composed for this meditation. The stages are shaking, dancing, standing or sitting in stillness and relaxing. In this first stage you stand and shake your body for 15 minutes.

Yoga

We offer yoga nidra right before ceremony to calm the nervous system. And we also offer yin yoga on Thursdays.

Preparation & Integration Guided Breathwork

Conscious breathing is a powerful tool for shamanic journeys, preparing mind and body for safe, grounded exploration of deeper awareness. • Breathwork aids post-ceremony integration by releasing blockages, processing insights, and supporting emotional healing for greater clarity and connection. • You can explore this technique further with a qualified practitioner during your stay and afterward if desired.

Master Plant Dietas

For our clients who wish to work in depth on themselves, the diet is highly recommended, as it provides an opportunity for a real and powerful connection with oneself, while opening the way to the true richness of Amazonian medicine.

Organic Meals

Meals are prepared with fresh, local ingredients (all fruit sourced nearby). • Meat, when served, is organic and freshly caught or hunted within days. • Superfoods like maca, chia, and specialty flours enrich meals with vitamins and plant proteins. • Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available.

2x Ayahuasca Ceremonies

• Ayahuasca ceremonies happen twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays. As we will have taken care to purify you well before the first intake, your first journey with the Plant will take place in the best possible conditions.

1x Kambo Healing Treatments

• On your first day, we recommend a round of Kambo, the venom extracted from an Amazonian frog. Kambo purifies and heals the body through a deep cleansing. The indigenous do not consider Kambo as a ceremony but rather a healing treatment. You will have the ability to have more treatments on other days if you feel the call.

2x Mambaè Talking Circles

• The evening of the day after each ayahuasca ceremony, we hold a talking circle accompanied by Mambé, a powdered coca leaf whose main virtue is to open the heart and free words. In this way, the circle enables us to talk about, understand, and share what we experienced in ceremony with the other participants, while strengthening our social ties.

Rapé (hapeh)

• Rapé (Amazonian snuff) is a sacred shamanic medicine or tool, that has been used by tribes of the Amazon basin for thousands of years and is an essential part of their tribal culture and history. Rapé, like all our medicines is optional, but on offer for you to experience when you choose.

1x Yopo Ceremony

• Yopo ceremonies, a powder made from the seeds of a Brazilian tree. Rich in DMT, you'll experience a visionary journey lasting around one hour.

Welcoming Floral Bath

On the day of your arrival, you will have a floral bath with medicinal plants to welcome and settle you into the space, then a talking circle in the evening to connect with the community.

Medicine Preparation

• You will have the ability to learn and prepare your own Ayahuasca, collect your own Kambo frogs at night & learn the process of Yopo.

Moxibustion

This warming technique uses burning mugwort to stimulate acupoints, promoting circulation, warming meridians, and dispersing cold or stagnant energy. After ceremonies, it can stabilize the body’s vital energy (Qi) and help digest intense energetic movements triggered by the medicine.

Cupping

Cupping helps to release blockages, toxins, and emotional tension held in the body—especially in the back and shoulders. It facilitates detoxification and relieves muscular and energetic congestion, making space for the integration of insights received during ceremonies.

Qigong (Chikung)

Every morning, before breakfast, we begin with Qigong to awaken the body, harmonize the breath, and center the mind. This daily ritual cultivates presence, strengthens the nervous system, and prepares participants to face the deep work of ceremony with balance and clarity.

Ancestral and Eastern synergy

Amazonian medicine often works through visions, purge, and spirit. TCM brings a systematic and embodied approach to balance and flow. Together, they offer a complementary map of health: one rooted in the rainforest, the other in the Tao.

In short, the use of TCM at Paojilhuasca is not an exotic add-on—it’s an intentional choice to support deep healing, to help participants stay grounded and present, and to cultivate long-term vitality after the peak experiences of ceremony.
