Five days, four ceremonies, and the person underneath
A five-day retreat built around three ayahuasca ceremonies and one San Pedro day — long enough that the work has room to move, short enough to fit into an ordinary life. Beginners are welcome; a good part of every group has never sat before.
A guided arc, not four separate nights
The Awakening Journey is arranged as one process rather than a series of ceremonies that happen to share a venue. Cleansing, releasing, unlocking, discovering — each ceremony is placed where it is because of what the one before it opened.
Fourteen places, and the days between ceremonies are as deliberate as the nights: rest, sharing circles, flower baths, and time with the facilitators one to one. Private rooms are available at some venues for an extra cost — ask when you enquire.
It suits people who want more than a weekend but are not ready to disappear into the jungle for two weeks. If you have never worked with these plants before, this is a reasonable place to start.

Where it runs next
Earlier 2026 editions ran in Stockholm in March and May and in Andalusia in June. Dates for 2027 open a few months ahead — ask us and we will tell you what is coming. The full calendar, including the weekend retreats and the dietas, is on the retreats page.
The exclusions are real
SSRIs, MAOIs, lithium, antipsychotics, ADHD medication, sleep medication and anxiolytics are not compatible with this work. Neither are a diagnosed heart condition, a history of psychosis, bipolar I, or pregnancy.
We go through all of it on the screening call before a place is confirmed, and we will say no when the answer is no. Read the safety page before you write to us.
