Ayahuasca Retreats
Ayahuasca retreats are most commonly offered in Peru, where its traditional and ceremonial use has long-standing legal protection, and in other jurisdictions with varying frameworks. Safety practices, facilitator training, and screening vary widely between centres — this is one of the most important categories to vet carefully.

Frequently asked questions
What should I check before booking an ayahuasca retreat?
Our Retreat Vetting Checklist guide covers this in detail — at minimum, look for a stated medical/psychological screening process, facilitator training and experience, and an emergency protocol.
Are there health risks to be aware of?
Yes — ayahuasca has known contraindications with certain medications (notably SSRIs/MAOIs) and health conditions. This is not medical advice; consult a qualified health professional before considering any plant medicine retreat.
