~We believe that a new way of life is possible - one which embodies learning from the sacred medicin

~We believe that a new way of life is possible - one which embodies learning from the sacred medicines and spirits of Mother Earth.

~We believe water and food are medicine and life is a ceremony meant to be lived on purpose and in joy - together.

~We believe that the journey of healing begins in the pause. We invite you to join us on retreat - where we will pause together in sacred ceremony. In our sacred plant medicine retreats, you will have the opportunity to explore the self and understand the true nature of your reality. The plant medicines are known to cleanse the mind, body, and spirit and are healing both physically and emotionally. The master plants are here to assist you on your journey to begin the inner-work, to expand your consciousness, and to re-connect to all that is. This will be a unique opportunity to sit with and learn about ancient practices in a serene, tropical oasis in coastal Ecuador. The experience is a retreat - meaning a time to withdraw from your everyday reality to reflect and bring more intention into your consciousness. During this time of retreat, we will work to reorganize all the dimensions of our being into one direction - including our body, mind, emotion, and energy.

Giving thanks to this fire who held our prayers and intentions throughout this Purification and Detox Retreat.

This week wasn’t about becoming someone new.
It was about remembering who we are and the medicine we carry already.

We learned the power of pausing, going slower, and having tools to purify more often.

Stay tuned to see more gems from this beautiful week. And now the next chance to join us here is in April!

It is time to connect back to your heart and remember who you are.

The Medicine of the Heart retreat in May 2026 provides the space, support, practices, and wisdom to help you reconnect to your heart’s center. Through ceremony, daily yoga & meditation, and ancient teachings, you are invited to remember your inner nature and your connection to the outer world around you.

When we are centered in the heart, we can let go of resistance and return to our true selves.

If you're feeling this call to step into deeper heart coherence, join us this May 16–23, 2026 on the Ecuadorian coast. This annual retreat always fills up so check the link in bio or comment HEART for more information.

Marking a life milestone in a space of intention, surrounded by nature and community...

During the January New Year’s Detox retreat, we celebrated Kyle’s 40th birthday in a way that felt aligned, with his closest friends and partner, rooted in intention, and shared over a cake made entirely of fruit. Simple. Joyful. Grounded.

Celebrating a birthday or life milestone on retreat allows it to be felt differently. Slower. More meaningful. Surrounded by people who know you—and people you’re deepening alongside.

In this space, celebration becomes less about distraction and more about taking a pause to come back to your essence and reconnect with yourself.

Would you celebrate your birthday on retreat? Let us know in the comments!

Thank you, Silke, for bringing your constant kindness, joyous smile, and openness to every part of the week. It was an honor to walk this journey together.

San Pedro Nature Walk

Did you know that some of our retreats include a San Pedro power walk? This is a ceremonial walk in nature, connecting with the master plant of San Pedro with our main altar, Mother Earth. It is a gentle walk, the ‘power’ is more about the ceremony of the walk, and connecting with your power within, your inner nature, and nature around you.

The walk is a special ceremony that we always enjoy sharing with our retreat participants. We also share the medicine of San Pedro around the fire at night, depending on the retreat.

Our San Pedro retreat has one San Pedro power walk and night ceremony, along with a ceremony of Ayahuasca. We have spaces available! Contact us for more information.

Food is not a side detail of the retreat - it’s part of the journey.

Throughout the week at Ayllu Medicina, we nourish you with three daily meals that are both delicious and deeply supportive, prepared for you so you can fully rest into the experience. Our food is local, plant-based, vegan, gluten-free and made entirely from whole foods, including thoughtfully prepared Ecuadorian specialties.

Every meal is designed to support digestion and energy, using fresh seasonal ingredients sourced with care. For many guests, the food becomes a true highlight of the week—not only for how good it tastes, but for how good it feels in the body.

Many people have even requested a cookbook, which is on the way!

What was your favorite part about the food at retreat? Let us know in the comments...
