Spirit of Peace Healing
Ayahuasca and Wachuma Retreats in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peru
Rejuvenating treatments are used in Ayurveda after a strong detoxification process to help the body and mind to rebuild and rebalance, and are especially useful after your medicine ceremonies to help you to integrate your experiences, feel more 'down to Earth' again, and to nourish your body, especially after the restrictions of a dieta. These are available as stand-alone treatments or as a three-day package inculding one or two treatments per day, over three or five days during the week following your retreat. We will design your series of treatments together to include the ones that will be the most beneficial for you, and medicated oils and herbs will be selected for your body type and to treat any imbalances or conditions that are present on the day.
Abhyanga
Full body massage with warm medicated oil
After your retreat, Abyhanga can help you to relax, feel more grounded and present in your body and calm your mind as you process your experiences and insights. Warm, medicated oils are massaged into the back, shoulders, arms, legs, stomach, chest and face with oils and herbs chosen to be the most balancing for you on the day. The heavy qualities of the oils relax and nourish the body and ground and calm the mind. This treatment is suitable for everyone and can be an especially beneficial tool for integration and processing after strong ceremonies and significant shifts and insights. It is also a great option for physical rejuvenation after long medicine hikes.

Dough Basti
Medicated oil treatment
This treatment is specific for areas of the body that are experiencing injury or illness. Warm medicated oils are placed into a circle of dough (called a basti, or 'bladder' in Sanskrit) for around 20 minutes. The oil draws toxins out of the area whilst simultaneously nourishing that body part. This is recommended when there are ongoing issues, or a long recovery time, in a specific area, as an additional form of treatment alongside the medicine ceremonies, and can be applied to the back, shoulders, knees, heart, abdomen and lower abdomen. Dough Basti is available as a stand-alone treatment or can be included after Abhyanga.

Pranic Healing
Ayurvedic Energy Balance
​A hands-on energy healing technique, similar to Reiki, which encourages a balanced flow of prana, or life-force energy, around the body. In this very relaxing treatment, blockages are gently released from the body's major energy centres. The deep state of relaxation is also regulating for the nervous system, calming for the mind, and can help you feel more grounded and clear as you return to the world after your retreat. This can be a great tool for integration as the deep state of relaxation can often lead to clarity insight around your ceremonies. This is available as a stand-alone session or can be combined with any other treatment.

Yoga Nidra
Guided Deep Relaxation
This long, guided relaxation brings you into a state where your body sleeps but your mind remains awake and aware. Yoga nidra, or 'yogic sleep,' is a powerful state which allows us to expand into to new levels of consciousness whilst sinmultaneously receiving the healing benefits of deep rest. This is a versatile practice and during our consultation beforehand we will design your nidra to include the relaxation techniques and visualisations that you most need and desire from your experience. After your retreat, it can be a useful tool for exploring and integrating the themes and insights that arose during your ceremonies, and for rest and rejuvenation before returning to your everyday life. ​
​​
There is the option to have your session recorded and edited to remove background noise, improve sound quality etc., so that you can then listen again whenever you like. Yoga Nidra is available as a stand-alone session or can be combined with any other treatment.

Ayurvedic Consultation
Ayurvedic wisdom offers a diverse range of tools for both healing holistically and preventing illness, and health consultations are often an appealing option when your ceremonies inspire you to take better care of your health or to deepen your understanding of yourself and your body. Ayurveda is a holistic system, originating in India alonside yoga, which acknolwedges that the body, mind, emotions and spirit and all connected and which guides us towards a deeper connection with ourselves and with nature through living the best lifestyle and consuming the best foods and herbs for our personal consitutiton. Ayurveda teaches that each one of us is made up of a unique balance of elements and that what is medicine for one person can be poison for another, and so through applying Ayurvedic techniques and principles to our lives we are not only able to improve our health but can learn to know and understand ourselves more deeply.​
​
​
An initial consultation comes in two parts. The first two hour meeting is an intake of information to determine your Ayurvedic constitution, the nature of any imbalances you may have and to discuss what you are hoping to achieve through your Ayurvedic lifestyle changes. In the second meeting, a few days later, you'll be given a written report of findings around your constitution along with some simple lifestyle suggestions which may include dietary changes, herbal medicines, adjustments to your daily routine, yoga, meditation, excercise, contemplative activities and changes to your living environment
​
For the best results, it's recommended to meet for weekly or bi-weekly follow up visits for four to six months in order to make changes slowly and to track the results of what you are doing. If we are also meeting for medicine integration sessions, these can be combined together. After successfully applying the necessary Ayurvedic techniques and practices, people often find it useful to continue to meet for seasonal or annual/bi-annual check-ins to make small adjustments to fit whatever may be happening in their life and to continue with their Ayurvedic journey.
