What awaits you

Full immersion in the Amazon. Gently, without rush, beside people for whom this is life, not exotica.

Here the sunrise wakes you, not an alarm clock.

What participants say

“This is my third time. When I came the second time I saw myself as I had been the first — a huge difference. I was closed off, could barely talk to people. After the first retreat I quit vaping, after the second, cigarettes.”

Yuri, Moscow

“I am a shy person. On the first day my shyness lasted exactly two hours, and after that I talked with almost every one of you. Such a setting, such an atmosphere — I think I will cry tomorrow morning when I leave.”

Liza, Novosibirsk

“It takes courage to come and work on yourself. People with different characters, from different places, with different upbringings — and in some three days they turn a group into a family.”

Sasha, Pavlovsky Posad

“There was a block in my life: everything flat, and going on like that was impossible because there was no joy. And when the work happened, it was as if I was reborn. I looked at the world and truly saw it with different eyes.”

Nastya, Moscow
how to get there

Flights to Quito have a connection. We help you plan the route and find company.

No visa needed

short and honest

Frequently asked questions

Do I need experience?

No. People come for the first time and for the third. Before the trip we talk with everyone — about why you are coming and about your health.

What documents do I need?

A passport. Citizens of Russia and Kazakhstan need no visa — entry is as a tourist.

Can I come alone?

Yes, most people do. The group is small, up to twelve, and within days it stops feeling like strangers.

I do not speak Spanish

That is no obstacle: Anna and David are with you the whole retreat and speak Russian, English and Spanish.

What are the contraindications?

They exist, and this is not a formality. Before the trip we go through your health and medication personally with each participant — write to us and we will discuss it.

How are participants chosen?

Through conversation. We need to understand who is coming and why — it is a condition of safety for the whole group.

Your guides into the world of ancient traditions

Anna and David

10 years in shamanism and over 300 retreats

Knowledge of the traditionsand of the Spanish language
Experiencein healing and psychology
Ceremoniestailored to each person

We are David and Anna, retreat guides and organisers who bring together deep experience in spiritual practice, traditional knowledge and modern approaches to personal transformation.

For more than 10 years we have been studying shamanic traditions, working with retreat formats and creating spaces where a person can pause, step out of the usual rhythm and look at themselves and their life anew.

Over these years we have organised more than 300 retreats and travelled the path from a personal search to programmes of our own in Spain, Latin America and other countries.

For us a retreat is not just a trip or a single experience. It is a carefully built space where safety, atmosphere, respect for tradition and the individual path of every participant matter.

We accompany the programmes in person, give attention to every individual and seek to join authentic tradition with comfort, care and professional organisation.

We do not promise to change your life in a few days. We create a space in which change can begin naturally.

Why people trust us

10+ years of personal practiceFor more than ten years we have been exploring spiritual traditions, practices of self-knowledge and different approaches to inner growth.
Amazon experienceWe have personally spent long periods in the Amazon jungle, immersed in the traditional culture and way of life of those who carry the ancient knowledge.
Initiations and traditionsWe went through traditional initiations and practices in spiritual schools, studying shamanism not as a concept but through direct personal experience.
Plant dietsWe have completed many traditional plant diets and practices in different regions of the Amazon, studying their place in the spiritual and cultural tradition.
International experienceOur path has led through different countries and continents. We met various traditions, schools and approaches to spiritual development, comparing them and forming our own understanding.
Psychology and psychoanalysisOur spiritual experience is supported by an academic background in psychology and psychoanalysis from the Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis.

Spiritual experience + scientific approach

We are convinced that a deep understanding of a person is born where personal experience, traditional knowledge and the study of the psyche meet.

We keep learning, exploring and growing ourselves — because for us a guide never stops being a student.

We do not simply organise retreats. We create spaces that have passed through our own many years of practice.
