About the Retreat
THREE-NIGHT LUXURY TROPICAL ISLAND RETREAT IN ZANZIBAR, TANZANIA WITH AYAHUASCA, KAMBO AND BUFO ALVARIUS
Join us in early September for a retreat in paradise. We're hosting a three-night retreat in a luxury boutique retreat centre near Paje, Zanzibar. Set in the lush Zanzibar bush, and featuring incredible gardens, swimming pool, gym, yoga studio, fire pit, and rooftop sunset viewing platform, this is an exclusive retreat with accommodation in luxury private poolside bungalows. A secluded private garden for outdoor medicine sessions under the stars sets the stunning backdrop to the journey within.
What are our retreats?
Our retreats include a combination of ancestral plant medicines and conscious integration in order to open a space for each person who attends to return to their heart and remember the divinity within. We support each individual to enter into a space of expanded consciousness, stepping outside of the programming that they live in on a day-to-day basis and being able to let it go and dare to open to something new.
We don't preach any dogma or ideology or require that anyone believes in anything new. Instead, we encourage participants to examine their own existing beliefs, so that they can decide whether they are still true, and continue to serve a purpose in life. We open a space to make the unconscious conscious, so participants can see the ideas and structures that have been governing life - without them realising it.
We’ll be sharing ayahuasca every night of this three-night retreat, with conscious integration sessions each morning to open a space to go deeper into the previous night's experience, to move towards a point of comprehension of the things that have moved. Optional sessions of kambo and bufo will be available throughout the retreat for those who feel drawn to these medicines, and to aid the physical cleansing process. Note that an extra cost applies for these sessions.
We work in a non-traditional way, utilising elements from many different traditions but not following strict dogma or way of doing things. Rather, we create the environment to allow life to bring whatever is needed in each moment, allowing it to surprise us. The retreats are a journey into the unknown - where everyone who attends (including the team!) dare to enter into the mystery, to go beyond themselves, and to encounter something new.
The vast majority of people who attend our retreats go on to make significant positive changes in life in the months and years afterwards, with many letting go of addictions, unfulfilling relationships, careers which no longer serve, and often recovering from mental health conditions and the impact of trauma. Participants begin to see life in a new way, reconnecting with trust, and realising that life is bringing us what we need in each moment to blossom, flourish and thrive. We support each individual to live from their potential, manifesting the innate gifts that they have been born with, living from the heart and beginning to create what they were destined for.
What are the facilities for the retreat?
Accommodation is in a luxury boutique resort, secluded in the Zanzibar bush. The resort will be completely private and exclusive for the retreat - providing the space needed to go within, and the freedom to reconnect with our true selves and express whatever is needed. The price includes a private luxury bungalow, with Balinese shower and king-sized bed. All bungalows have views overlooking the swimming pool and beautiful gardens. Bungalows will be cleaned every day by the housekeeping team and delicious vegan and vegetarian food will be cooked by our onsite chef.
Medicine sessions will take place in a secluded garden area, allowing us to journey inwards under the canopy of stars.
Temperatures are between 20-30 degrees throughout the day and night in this tropical area.
What is the cost, and what is included?
The total cost for this retreat is £1,165 (or $1,450) for individual attendees. For participants wishing to attend as a couple, the total cost is £2,025 (or $2,520) for both - based on sharing a bungalow.
