With JC Arkawa
September 25 - 27, 2026
$947 | 3 days, 2 nights
You are invited to a deeply restorative weekend at Pachamama Sanctuary’s Sacred Ayahuasca Retreat in the peaceful forests of Maine, just outside Portland. Over 3 days and 2 nights, you’ll be guided inward through healing, reflection, and spiritual connection under the care of our experienced Medicine Carrier, Arkawa.
This retreat is a chance to step out of daily life and into a grounded, supportive space where transformation can unfold naturally. Whether you’re seeking emotional release, clarity, or deeper connection to self and spirit, you’ll be held with intention throughout the journey.
Ceremonies take place outdoors beneath the open sky, with firelight and nature surrounding the experience—creating a powerful, grounding connection to Pachamama and the medicine.
