8 nights Ayahuasca Retreat
With Gabi, Roey and Colas
November 9 - 17, 2024
Mission and Vision
Vikara, meaning “transformation” in Sanskrit, is a retreat centre built with love to empower individuals to connect with their true selves and discover their own way to healing, serving and living their full potential. We strive to foster a network of conscious and responsible human beings who seek spiritual growth and evolution.
Our vision extends beyond the individual, as we envision a world where everyone reconnects with their essence, fostering personal healing and collective transformation in harmony with Mother Earth.
Safe Ayahuasca Retreats & Small Groups
Your safety and well-being are paramount at our Ayahuasca & Healing Retreats. We foster a supportive environment with intimate groups of no more than 10 participants, allowing our experienced facilitators to offer personalized attention and prioritize your complete well-being throughout your transformative journey. At Vikara, you embark on a healing journey supported by our team of experience in facilitators and space holders. Here, you can experience profound tranformation and step back into the world empowered to live a life aligned with your true essence.
We use the term “facilitator” to highlight the distinct role our practitioners play. While trained by traditional shamans and deeply knowledgeable in the medicine’s power, their perspective combines this ancient wisdom with an understanding of Western psychology and contemporary mindsets. This unique blend allows our facilitators to bridge the gap between traditional healing and the needs of modern individuals, enabling personalised guidance and a more relatable experience for many participants.
We offer a safe and supportive sanctuary, where you can let go of limiting patterns and beliefs (conditions of the mind and habit body) and connect with your true authentic self (The godhead which lives in each human being). Guided by experienced facilitators and drawing wisdom from ancestral traditions, you’ll engage in powerful plant medicine ceremonies, transformative somatic therapies, and a comprehensive integration program designed to empower long-term healing.
