The Eagle Condor Alliance offers 10 Day Sacred Medicine Retreats in the mountains outside of Medellin, Colombia.  Our next retreat dates are June 23rd – July 2nd.

Participants stay in comfortable glamping, camping, and shared cabin accommodations while experiencing traditional Ayahuasca (Yagé), San Pedro Cactus, Peyote and Temazcal (Inipi) ceremonies.

At Eagle Condor Alliance, our central mission is to spread consciousness, awareness and love by being the bridge between our participants and the ancient traditions and sacred medicines of the Americas. We are ultimately concerned with supporting the elders of these traditions and with conserving the forests of Colombia where these medicines, traditions, and wisdoms are found.

Healing With All of the Sacred Medicines

We offer the sacred plants of the Americas in one powerful and rejuvenating 10 day retreat. Ayahuasca, San Pedro, and Lakota Sioux inipi (sweat lodge) ceremonies each have their own unique spirit, tradition, and way of showing us to ourselves. We believe that using these plants together in guided contexts creates the most profound and curative spiritual experience.

Intensive Plant Medicine Immersion Experience

The demanding itinerary of ECA retreats requires that participants approach the medicine with respect, reverence and strength. These medicines lead us to confront both the beauty and darkness in each of us, and will power is needed to maintain consistent focus on our transformative internal process during the retreat.

Our Commitment to the Individual

Each participant comes with his or her own past experiences, health concerns, goals, ambitions, medical history, and intentions for the retreat. At ECA, we have small retreat groups. The group is cared for by 3 group facilitators and 2 experienced healers who are committed to creating bonds of trust and compassion that form the foundation for the healing processes of participants.

Experienced Healers and The Purest Medicine

ECA’s healers have been finding, harvesting, and preparing their own medicines to the benefit of their respective communities for over 40 years. They offer these gifts from Mother Earth in their purest forms. ECA’s medicines are never altered or mixed with other substances or plants. They are provided with respect and love in traditional ceremonies from the Cofán community of the Amazon, the Lakota-Sioux of North America, and the traditional Andean peoples.

The Setting – Colombia’s Natural Beauty

The retreat centre is located at an altitude of 2300m surrounded by dense Andean sub tropical rain forest, spectacular views of the valley, pristine drinking water, your own private river, hiking, wildlife, and comfortable glamping and camping options

Comfort and Rejuvenation

Comfort is a crucial element in this reviving and re-energizing experience, and it’s typically forgotten by most other retreat centers. Participants at ECA retreats: sleep in comfortable, soft beds, take hot showers, eat delicious, healthy cuisine, drink fresh mountain water, walk outside without being devoured by insects, and are given ample alone time for reflection and self-examination. The mild climate also helps us rest.

Convenience and Price

Fly direct into Medellin’s international airport for a fraction of what it costs to get to Cusco, Leticia, Iquitos or other locations, and arrive at the retreat center in under 30 minutes via our private transport. No special vaccinations or injections required. We provide all food, housing, and on the ground transport in order to make our retreat relaxing and hassle free.

    Joining Eagle Condor Alliance was my second medicine retreat in the Americas so far but I cannot really imagine a fuller one.
    The setting is absolutely beautiful and peaceful close to Medellin in the mountains but still easily accessible.
    The program is really intense and perfectly organised. The facilitators – Bobby, Jesse and Hans – are among the most professional people I have ever encountered with immense amount of caring, acceptance and love towards the attendees.
    The ceremonies are really powerful due to the fantastic healers – Gonzalo and Greison – and the most powerful medicine I ever encountered. Don’t go with expectations, you will surely receive more… these are REAL sacred ancestral ceremonies with several millennia of experience. Whatever happens there, you and the whole world will only benefit from that…
    Last but not least you will meet the best and nicest cook you have every encountered… absolutely delicious meals served with unbelievable humbleness.
    If you happen to search for a medicine retreat with a full program, loving people around you and the best care, you have arrived!!
    I am grateful having met these people during these days. Gracias abuelo fuego, madre tierra, hermana agua y hermano aire. Hope to see you soon!

    I attended this retreat with little expectations and it completely blew me away. Your experience with the medicine will be unique to you so I won’t say more abt that. But i couldn’t have asked more from the healers and facilitators. They are an amazing group of people who are deeply respectful of tradition. The support, attention, and care they provided helped guide me through the hardest of times. Much love and respect!

    Wow. Such a truly incredible experience!… I attended a 10 day retreat in July, and am extremely grateful to the ECA family – it really was life changing for me.

    I felt the program of the retreat was very well put together. In particular, the combination of the medicines and ceremonies of the north and south was excellent balance… providing for deep level of introspection and self-exploration.

    The food was absolutely incredible, every single meal…Ellie is a wizard in the kitchen… fresh, delicious healthy dishes served with an abundance of love… truly the best I have eaten in years….and such a tranquil setting as well, it realty did feel like a home… plenty of comfortable, serene spaces to spend by yourself reflecting as well cozy communal spaces to come together as a group and enjoy the company.

    The facilitators.. Bobby, Jesse, Hans.. just remarkable… they really have dedicated their lives to this cause. They are approachable, thoughtful, encouraging, knowledgeable, untiring and thoroughly organized. They clearly have an excellent understanding and relationship with the healers – Gonzalo, Greison and Cesar – who themselves are passionate and completely dedicated in their calling and working with these medicines, strong in character but humble and willing to help you learn and interpret your experiences. A great team.

    It was indeed a big first step for me personally, and I really am looking forward to spending more time with the ECA family… and in the meantime can completely recommend this a retreat with the ECA family to anyone that is open to it!

    I came on the July 2017 retreat, and it was one of the most valuable and memorable experiences of my life. I had come on a whim and wasn’t sure what to expect because I have never worked with these plant medicines before.

    The facilitators are so welcoming, they pick you up from the airport and take you to the retreat center. They have a beautiful “castle” that is on the edge of the mountain and has beautiful views of Medellin below. A private chef, Ellie, who is one of the sweetest women I have ever met and made delicious and healthy food for us every day. Every part of the experience is so intentional and well planned, and done for our physical and spiritual health.

    The experience with the medicine is something I will never forget. The healers and facilitators created such a safe environment for me to interact with the medicine and allow myself to heal in my own process. The spirit of these medicines showed me my own beautiful spirit and that we are all connected to the earth, and a new sense of gratitude for my life. I am forever grateful to the eagle condor alliance and the important work they do. I will definitely be back!

    I have had the pleasure of joining two separate retreats with ECA and they have been extremely transformational and enriching. The entire team at ECA is very good at what they do. Bobbi, Hans, and Jessie, who are the facilitators, are such a blessing. They are very kind, grounded, and supportive people. Having them to guide you through the process is key to a smooth journey. Then you also have the incredibly talented healers in Gonzalo and Greison. Both healers are very gifted and experienced in holding space for the healings and in working with their medicines. The medicines that they provide are clean and potent. ECA in total provides the perfect center to experience ceremony with both Yage and San Pedro. You are in a beautiful setting, fed amazingly clean and tasty food, and surrounded by safe loving facilitators. If you’ve found yourself looking at ECA retreats consider yourself lucky. Words cannot express how great the entire ECA process is and what a wonderful hidden gem they are. Just go already!
