The altered state of consciousness
Achieving higher states of being
As a shamanic healing center, we practice spiritual healing while in an altered state of consciousness. This state allows our Shipibo Shaman to commune with their spirit allies, and to guide the experience of the guest so that they may achieve healthier states of being.
Your safety is our top priority
Ensuring your safety is our top priority, so before joining us at Refugio Altiplano, take a moment to familiarize yourself with any potential risks associated with ayahuasca and ensure you’re not taking any medications that could be unsafe in combination. We only work with experienced facilitators to guide our traditional ceremonies, providing a safe and supportive environment for all participants during the ceremony. They also offer support and guidance after the ceremony to help you integrate your experiences.
Using ayahuasca
Sacred plant medicine
In order to access these altered states of consciousness, we use the sacred plant medicine ‘Ayahuasca’. The brew is the result of the combining the ayahuasca vine and the leaves of the chacruna plant. The ingredients are sourced from our botanical garden, and we do not use any foreign admixtures. For more information on ayahuasca please click here.
The ayahuasca is considered a medicine and a powerful teacher. It is during a formal, structured ceremony that this sacrament is consumed by the Shaman and the participants. The ceremony lasts for several hours, directed by the Shaman and supervised by our support staff.
