Plant Medicine Retreats, Ceremonies, Temazcales, Workshops & Yoga in Ecuador

~We believe that a new way of life is possible - one which embodies learning from the sacred medicines of Ayahuasca & San Pedro, connection to the elements, and our inner self. ~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 purpos

e 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.

Many people arrive feeling excited, curious... and also a little nervous.

If that's you, you're not alone.

We're grateful to Dawn for sharing this reflection:

"Ahead of this retreat, I was admittedly nervous about trusting the medicine, the guidance, the practices, and the support. If this is you right now, let me assure you that you can put those concerns to rest, let go, and you will be beautifully held through a profound week of retreat that will likely change how you experience the world moving forward.

Oh - and shout out to the communication and logistics planning through Emma. I so appreciated the pre-arranged taxis, guidance on local lodging, and all other practical concerns. All facets of getting to-and from- the retreat center were seamless for me because of the involvement of the staff in ensuring that.

Many thanks to this special group of people at Ayllu Medicina who are now family :)"

Thank you, Dawn. We're honored to walk this path together.

If you've been feeling curious but uncertain, know that you're not alone. We would be honored to welcome you around the fire!

The master plant To***co

The to***co plant has long been used in different cultures as a medicine and is considered a potent plant master - used for prayer, cleansing and other medicinal purposes. It is linked to the four elements and is sacred in many traditions.

This includes water to***co and the medicine of rapeh!

On our final evening together during the May Medicine of the Heart Retreat, after the San Pedro Power Walk, we gathered around the fire to receive the medicine of music.

Nico offered flute and charango, while Aime and Hwaneetah accompanied with drum and rattle. As the sun set and the stars emerged, we listened, danced, and simply enjoyed being together.

These moments remind us that not all medicine comes through words. Sometimes it arrives through music, through community, through sitting on the Earth and allowing ourselves to be fully present.

Gratitude for the songs, the teachings, the laughter, the vulnerability, and the connections that were woven throughout the week.

If you're feeling called to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and experience the power of community, we'd love to welcome you to a future retreat.

Sacred spaces at Ayllu Medicina: The Yoga Shala

Our shala is a space where we share daily yoga classes, some workshops, and sound healings during the retreat weeks. We also use this space for community events such as yoga classes between retreats.

It is a space retreat participants can use during their free time, with silks, mats, and props available for use. Surrounded by nature, and lots of bird song, it is one of our favourite spaces to restore and nourish during the retreat week.

On 13th June we will be starting our final retreat of the season: Fire of the Heart! We will be using our shala space a lot for different workshops and yoga- integrating ceremonies, and finding alignment physically, mentally, and energetically. There is still time to join us - contact us directly to learn more and for a last minute booking price.

One year ago..

There’s still spaces available if you’re feeling the call to join us around this fire and meet with the master plants.

A yoga teacher training can change far more than your practice.

This summer, our friends are offering the final chapter of their in-person 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Spain.

For 21 days, students will immerse themselves in practice, study, self-inquiry, and community, exploring how to teach yoga AND how to live it more fully.

At Ayllu Medicina, we believe that presence and growth happen through practice. Yoga has always been one of the foundations we share on retreat because it teaches us how to listen to and integrate through the body, the breath, and the deeper wisdom within. That's why we are excited to share about this opportunity to deepen your practice:

Breathe and Flow 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings:

Training 1: July 11 – August 1, 2026
Training 2: August 15 – September 5, 2026
-Seville, Spain

This is a beautiful opportunity for anyone ready to deepen their practice, strengthen their understanding of yoga, and step onto the path with greater clarity and intention.

You do not need to be advanced.
You need to be willing.

Comment YOGA below and we'll send you the details.

Ayurveda and plant medicine share a common understanding: that healing happens through relationship with nature.

This June, we gather on the coast of Ecuador immersed in nature with yoga, Ayurveda, heart technology, and plant medicine ceremonies. We will spend the week learning practices that support both expansion and integration, and bring these practices into our work with the master plants Ayahuasca and San Pedro.

A week to slow down, regulate the nervous system, reconnect with the body, and return to balance. Will you join us?

Plant Medicine & Ayurveda: Returning to Harmony

What happens after a plant medicine ceremony ends? After the visions, insights, emotional releases, or moments of connection, the question is: how do we carry those experiences into our everyday lives? How do we integrate plant medicines, what we’ve seen, felt, and remembered in a way that creates lasting transformation?

Plant medicine can open a doorway into deeper awareness, bringing unconscious patterns, emotions, imbalances, and truths to the surface. But the ceremony itself is only the beginning. Without grounding, reflection, and supportive daily practices, these experiences can fade or become difficult to fully embody.

This is why, at Ayllu Medicina, we share various tools and practices for integration, including the ancient healing system of Ayurveda. Learn more about the connection between Ayurveda and Plant Medicine in this post, and how they can help bring balance to your inner fire physically, emotionally and mentally.

This June we have our special Fire of the Heart Retreat to delve deeper into this connection, with heart technology meditations, Ayurvedic workshops led by our yoga teacher Vanessa , and yoga practices, with the guidance of the sacred master plants Ayahuasca and San Pedro.

There will also be sweat lodges, sharing circles, and other integration tools for an immersive week journeying to our hearts and finding harmony between all systems.

Last minute booking price and flexible payment plans available - message us for more information!

Healing is also nourishment.

During the Fire of the Heart Retreat, we will experience the connection between plant medicine, Ayurveda, yoga, and the ways we care for the body each day. Through fresh tropical foods, intentional practices, ceremony, and time spent in nature, we begin to restore balance from the inside out.

Watermelon, dragon fruit, fresh coconuts, nourishing food made with care...each meal and every part of the week becomes part of the medicine.

Join us next month and enjoy this beautiful medicine with our family here on the coast!

Connect to the medicine of music

Music features throughout our retreat week: in ceremonies, workshops, sound healings, music jams… and we are fortunate that many of our community share their own music medicine, including one of our team here, Nico!

In this post Nico is sharing a variety of music and instruments from South America during our past retreat, including the charango. Thank you so much Nico for all your sharing, knowledge and music!

Whether you are a musician or have never sang before, the retreat week offers many ways to learn more about music, including connecting to your own voice.

Our final retreat of the season starts on the 13th June and there’s spaces! Message us for more information.
