Why a Women's Ayahuasca Retreat?
Women carry deep wisdom in their bones—but too often, we are asked to heal alone or in ways that don't speak to our lived experience. This retreat provides a space to gather, share, and grow together in a container built around feminine embodiment, trauma-informed care, and ancient ceremonial traditions.
Ayahuasca is a powerful teacher, and when held in sisterhood, her messages often land with greater clarity, safety, and resonance. In this space, we honor the cycles of the womb, the wild voice of the heart, and the ancestral knowing that lives in each of us.
What Makes This Michigan Retreat Unique?
This Midwestern ayahuasca retreat brings the sacred traditions of the Amazon into a forested sanctuary near Traverse City, Michigan. For those who feel called to the medicine but cannot travel abroad, this retreat offers a grounded, ethically-held way to access healing.
Mid-summer in Northern Michigan is abundant, vibrant, and alive—a powerful mirror for the inner work of transformation. This retreat is also deeply rooted in seasonal alignment, using the portal of Lammas to reflect on what we are ready to harvest, release, and reclaim.
Our all-women facilitation team includes seasoned guides trained in traditional Shipibo healing, somatic trauma integration, seasonal ritual, and mental health support. We work in service to both individual healing and collective liberation.
