We Have Completed the Reconstruction of the Maloca!
Dear friends, we are very happy to announce that, after a few months of hard work, at the beginning of this September we completed the reconstruction of the patients’ maloca, which had been destroyed by a falling tree last April. To celebrate this event, we also held a small inauguration and blessing ceremony for this therapeutic space, so important for Takiwasi, where we will continue welcoming more people in search of healing. We are deeply grateful to all those who supported us in this process of renewal!

Master Plants & Ayahuasca Retreat Testimonial - Former Captain US Army
What does it mean for a soldier to surrender and retreat? In the military, these two words are unthinkable. Yet Trevor, a former infantry officer and U.S. Army captain, discovered at Takiwasi a place where “surrender” and “retreat” take on a deeply healing meaning. In this testimony, he shares his first experience at Takiwasi where he underwent a master plant dieta in the jungle, guided by our therapeutic team with decades of expertise. A sincere and transformative testimony about the transition from military life to the path of self-knowledge, and how Takiwasi offers a unique opportunity for silence, introspection, and truly meeting yourself.
