Ayahuasca Retreat in Ecuador – Walking the Ancestral Shuar Path with Arutam Ruymán

🌿 About the Retreat

Our retreat is led by Uwishin Arutam Ruymán, a master of the living ancestral Shuar lineage, together with a dedicated team who have walked this path for many years. We follow the teachings and ways passed down through generations, offering a space of profound respect and commitment to traditional Amazonian medicine.

This is not a tourist experience. It is a traditional practice that demands honesty, commitment, and inner openness. We’ll work with intensity, developing our instincts and inner strength, as the elders once did.

Those who stay for the third week will enter a deeper phase of the process, with advanced practices such as Natemamu — an ancient, challenging, and deeply transformative way of working with the Ayahuasca vine alone, without admixtures. This traditional practice is one of the oldest forms of spiritual medicine in the lineage, offering profound healing under the close guidance of the master and the team. It is intended for those with prior experience or a strong inner calling to go further.
