3-Day Ayahuasca Retreats in Colombia: What to Expect
Our 3-day ayahuasca retreat near Medellín is for people seeking an authentic and structured experience. It includes two days of preparation and three nights of ceremony and integration. The retreat is guided by experienced facilitators who follow ancestral traditions with a focus on safety, clarity, and respect.
Preparation
Wednesday: Arrival and Opening of the Sacred Circle
Participants are picked up in Medellín or at the airport. On arrival, a light dinner is shared followed by a first circle of introductions. Each person sets an intention for the retreat. The night is for rest and silence.
Thursday: Purification and Connection
At sunrise, participants take a natural purgative to cleanse the body. The process supports both emotional and physical release. After breakfast, the day is open for quiet time in nature. Later, participants receive plant baths and a fire cleansing.
In the evening, the group gathers for a circle of word guided by mambe, a coca leaf preparation, and ambil, a tobacco paste used in traditional dialogue. This prepares the group for the first ceremony.
Ceremonial Work
Friday: Preparation of Body and Spirit
The day begins with a second purgative focused on deeper internal cleansing. Each participant meets privately with the facilitators to refine intentions and receive personal guidance.
At night, everyone enters the House of Remedy for the first yagé ceremony.
Saturday: Integration and Second Ceremony
The morning is quiet and restful. After breakfast, integration activities help participants process and understand their experiences. In the evening, the second yagé ceremony takes place with traditional music and guidance from the elders.
