Overview

A high-touch immersion for a Full Body Reset

This retreat is built for guests who want more than a ceremony weekend. The structure is intentionally focused and private, so the medicine work, the detox, and the integration all have enough room to land.

It brings together ancestral plant medicine traditions, modern detox science, and one-on-one support inside the Yaogará Nature Reserve in Antioquia.

Traditional yagé immersion

Two preparation days lead into three Siona lineage ceremonies on the regular retreat schedule, with guided integration in the House of Remedy.

Doctor-supervised detox

The remaining detox days focus on liver support, nervous system recovery, inflammation reduction, and whole-body restoration.

High-touch integration

Coaching, therapy, and daily check-ins keep the process personalized and grounded before, during, and after ceremony work.

Continuous Support

Integration is built into the format

This retreat is not structured as ceremony, then silence. Each guest receives steady support so the experience can be processed safely and translated into real life.

Coaching sessions

Two sessions with Samuel Vélez for intention setting, emotional clarity, and integration planning.

Therapeutic support

Andrea Díaz offers emotional and psychological support throughout the process.

Ongoing guidance

Daily check-ins help each guest move through preparation, ceremony, detox, and rest with close attention.

Why this format works

Ceremony opens insight and release before the detox asks the body to settle and restore.

Small numbers make it possible to adjust the pace around each guest instead of forcing everyone through the same rhythm.

Nutrition, rest, and emotional support are treated as core parts of the healing container, not side extras.

A complete system reset for body, mind, and spirit.
