New Moon Ayahuasca Retreat: 10-Day Inner Reset & Awakening

New Moon in Gemini Ayahuasca Retreat: 10-Day Inner Reset & Awakening

June 8–17, 2026

Inca Shipiba is a healing center led by a Shipibo family in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest near Nauta, Peru. Guided by Maestra Matilde, the retreat follows the Shipibo tradition of plant medicine, honoring ancestral knowledge while offering it in a grounded, respectful, and safe way.

This 10-day retreat culminates with the New Moon in Gemini, a time associated with mental clarity, inner reset, and new perspectives. This lunar energy supports releasing mental patterns, gaining insight, and reconnecting with your authentic voice and direction. Surrounded by the Amazon, participants are guided through a structured process of preparation, ceremonial work, and integration aligned with this subtle yet powerful cycle.

You will take part in a master plant dieta, a traditional healing practice that supports deep physical, emotional, and spiritual work. Each participant’s process is unique, and Maestra Matilde will select a teacher plant based on your individual needs and readiness.

Some of the plants we work with include:

Bobinsana – emotional healing and heart opening
Ajo Sacha – energetic cleansing and strengthening
Chiric Sanango – grounding, resilience, and courage
Uña de Gato (Cat’s Claw) – purification and physical support
Noya Rao – clarity and spiritual alignment
Ayahuma – protection and inner strength
Chuchuhuasi – vitality and grounding
Toe (Brugmansia) – a powerful teacher plant, used under strict supervision

The retreat begins with a tobacco purification ritual, an essential foundation in Amazonian medicine. For those who feel called, kambo may also be offered as an optional cleansing practice before deeper ceremonial work.

Ayahuasca ceremonies follow the Shipibo tradition, held in darkness and guided by icaros, sacred healing songs sung by Maestra Matilde, Maestra Sarita, and Maestro Wilson. These ceremonies create a space for deep introspection, emotional release, and mental clarity, supporting participants in resetting patterns and gaining a clearer sense of direction.

This retreat is designed for individuals ready to engage in sincere inner work. It is especially supportive for those seeking clarity, mental reset, emotional balance, or a new perspective on their life path, as well as for those with prior plant medicine experience who wish to deepen their process through a structured and traditional dieta.

At Inca Shipiba, we provide a safe and respectful environment where participants can work with the sacred plants of the Amazon while supporting the preservation of Shipibo wisdom and tradition.
