A sacred space, where each one can experience an expansion of the heart and the consciousness Amoraleza is a non-profit association.
(1)

It was founded in 2013 and has as its objective the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, the closest to nature possible. If you are interested in our project, you may stay with us some additional days to experience outdoor living, connect with the earth, give us a hand in the garden, hike in the mountains, go horse-riding or relax in the nature. Nighttime is a special time to connect with the elements and stargaze. Being close to nature is helpful with the integration of the medicine work. Expect basic comfort, not luxury. There are compost toilets and outdoor hot showers and no Wi-Fi connection. Amoraleza is between the Sierra Nevada and the Tropical Coast, 45 minutes away from both the beach and Granada. More specifically, it is in the Alpujarras Mountains, between Orgiva and Lanjarón, close to other alternative communities such as Beneficio, where about 200 people live in tipis and other low-impact structures. On Thursday mornings, there is the Orgiva Market, a good opportunity to relax on a terrasse and enjoy the cultural diversity and richness of the more than 60 different nationalities registered in the town. The area is also well-known for its hiking paths and traditional villages. It is possible to go horseback riding, visit the Tibetan meditation centre or organise a trip to Granada, to walk through the Albacin (old moorish quarter), the Sacromonte caves, or the Alhambra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

People often ask what Amoraleza actually is.
At its heart it’s a space where people step out of daily noise and reconnect with themselves and community.

For five weeks I lived in a small Huni Kuin village in the Amazon doing dieta.

Simply living in an indigenous village, has a way of changing your rhythm.

Not through dramatic experiences, but through small daily shifts.

Dieta is often imagined as something mysterious or dramatic, but much of it is actually very simple.

Life becomes quiet.

Days begin with the morning chorus of the forest waking up, birds, insects, the endless movement of life around you. You start to notice how much the body follows the rhythm of its environment. Without the constant stimulation of modern life, your nervous system slowly settles into something much steadier.

The food is simple. Very simple.

A small number of ingredients, prepared plainly. At first it feels restrictive, but after some days you begin to understand the purpose of it. The body becomes quieter, the senses sharper. You start to notice subtleties in the plants, in the environment, and in yourself.

Some of the most meaningful learning doesn’t come from formal teachings at all. It comes from observing the people who have lived in relationship with these plants for generations; how they move through the day, how they prepare medicines, how naturally this knowledge lives within daily life.

Spending time close to where these medicines come from changes the way you understand the work.

It reminds you that holding ceremony is not something that simply happens on the night of a retreat. It begins much earlier in preparation, in listening, and in continuing to learn.

Now I return from the forest to begin the retreat season from that place.

Five weeks offline in the Amazon.

No internet.�No news.�No scrolling.

Just forest, the plants and long days of listening.

While the world outside was filled with noise and conflict, I was in dieta a time of study, discipline, and preparation.

Holding space requires preparation too and now I return ready, as the next chapter begins.

If you feel the call, the doors are open.🌿

These are the words of the Caboclo Tupinamba

This is what all beings have the right to ask for
Life

Happiness
Open Path

Health in the body
Peace in the spirit
And love in the heart

This is what we wish
For ourselves
For our loved ones
And for all our brothers and sisters

So be it.

Most of what matters on this journey doesn’t happen in ceremony.

It happens while walking.
While eating together.
While listening to the land and to people who live on it.

The retreat is shaped by place,
by altitude, by history, by relationship.

That’s not an add-on.
That’s the work.

Most people who here don’t come just once.

Most people have been here before, or arrive through someone they trust.

There is a strong sense of community, of soul family, not because anyone is expected to belong, but because people recognize one another in how they show up.

What happens when you stop trying to get something from plant medicine?
When you let the plants, the land, and the place work on you instead?

When medicine isn’t isolated to ceremony,
but woven into walking, landscape, conversation, and time.

This retreat isn’t about extracting insight.
It’s about integration,
allowing the land itself to inform, orient, and gently shift how things are held.

Nothing is forced.
Nothing is rushed.

You stay present with what’s unfolding.

This work isn’t for everyone.
These retreats tend to draw people who are already in process.

People who aren’t looking for spectacle or novelty,
but for a place to meet what’s already moving.

Often they’re in the middle of something,
a transition, a reckoning, a period of re-orientation,
and want a container that can hold depth without distraction.

They’re usually willing to stay present when things are unclear.
To take responsibility for their own experience.
To engage honestly rather than passively.

This work isn’t for everyone.
It doesn’t need to be.

It tends to find the people it’s meant for.

Safety and integration matter here.

This retreat is held carefully.
Not through control or constant guidance,
but through clarity, pacing, and presence.

Support here means knowing when to slow down,
when to stay with what’s happening,
and when to let the land do its work.

The journey is designed with integration in mind,
before we arrive, while we’re moving through it,
and in how the experience is carried afterward.

You are not pushed beyond your capacity.
You are not left to navigate things on your own.

There is space to engage,
and space to rest inside what’s unfolding.
