Why Travel to Colombia for Your Ayahuasca Retreat?
You might be wondering why you should travel to Colombia instead of finding an ayahuasca retreat closer to where you live. Here are a few compelling reasons:
1. Authentic Tradition
Ayahuasca is deeply rooted in the indigenous cultures of the Amazon Basin. When you join us at LaWayra, youāre not just participating in a retreat; youāre engaging in a practice that has been respected and passed down for generations. The authenticity of experiencing ayahuasca in its native land adds profound depth to your journey.
2. Legality and Safety
In Colombia, ayahuasca is legal and culturally accepted, which means you can participate in ceremonies without fear or legal repercussions. Our facilitators are experienced and knowledgeable, ensuring that you are in safe hands throughout the process. This legal and cultural acceptance provides a safer, more relaxed environment for your journey.
3. Supporting Indigenous Communities
By choosing to travel to Colombia for your ayahuasca retreat, youāre directly supporting local indigenous communities. Many of our facilitators and staff come from these communities, and your participation helps to preserve and honor their traditions and livelihoods. Itās a way to give back and ensure that these ancient practices continue to thrive. You get to have an actual indigenous shaman from a lineage, no fake 1 day shamans.
4. Immersive Environment
Colombia’s natural beauty offers a serene and powerful backdrop for your ayahuasca experience. Being surrounded by the lush landscapes and vibrant culture of Colombia enhances your journey, allowing for a deeper connection with nature and yourself. The environment here is not just a setting; it’s an integral part of the healing process.
5. Experienced Facilitators
Our facilitators at LaWayra are not only experienced but deeply connected to the ayahuasca tradition. They bring a wealth of knowledge and a compassionate approach to guiding you through your experience. This level of expertise and care is something you might not find in retreats outside of South America.
6. Community and Connection
Our medium-sized groups foster a sense of community and connection that is essential for your ayahuasca journey. Sharing this experience with others in an intimate setting helps build lasting relationships and support systems, which are vital for your integration process after the retreat.
