🌈 “Return to Self: A Queer Healing Journey in the Amazon”
A Mental Health & Queer Ayahuasca Retreat at Selva Madre, Peru
Concept:
A safe, sacred space where LGBTQ+ individuals can reconnect with their inner truth, heal emotional wounds, and rediscover purpose through ancient Amazonian plant medicine. Led by trusted shamans and supported by trauma-informed facilitators, this retreat honors the unique struggles of queer identity—offering not only powerful ayahuasca ceremonies, but also integration circles, nature immersion, and soul-nourishing connection.
Key Pillars:
Radical Acceptance: A space free of judgment where all expressions of queerness are welcome and celebrated.
Collective Healing: Shared stories and community support that validate experiences often silenced by mainstream society.
Plant Spirit Therapy: Guided ayahuasca ceremonies that support emotional release, ancestral healing, and spiritual alignment.
Jungle Sanctuary: Nature as a mirror for growth—daily meditations, river bathing, and time with the giant Ceiba tree for grounding.
Integration for Resilience: Post-ceremony sessions focused on translating insights into real-world emotional and mental wellness.
Ideal for:
LGBTQ+ people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, internalized shame, or a longing for deeper connection—with self, others, and Spirit.

A safe and sacred space in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, this retreat is designed for LGBTQ+ individuals seeking deep healing, connection, and self-acceptance. Through guided ayahuasca ceremonies, integration support, and a queer-affirming environment, participants are invited to explore their inner world, release emotional burdens, and reconnect with their authentic selves—held with care by experienced facilitators at Selva Madre
