Our mission is to provide a safe, honest and sincere space for people of all walks of life to come and heal. We believe in the combined power of plant medicine, community and emotional vulnerability. These key elements are the fertile soil for beautiful transformation to occur in our lives!

Maharani Medicine  first opened its doors in 2018– since then, we have served at over 110 retreats. We are proud to be a culturally diverse hub for seekers of all kinds. We are honored to be of service to anyone with a desire to grow, learn and heal regardless of background, age or creed.

Here are some things that set us apart from other groups:

  • Our groups are ALWAYS intimate & small. We will never serve a group larger than ten people. This fosters a sense of community between participants & staff, creating a safe, familial atmosphere.
  • We keep a supportive staff-to-participant ratio so we can all feel fully supported in this intense journey. We strive to have 3-4 facilitators on board in addition to our Medicine Woman. Our team members are humble volunteers with ample personal experience with plant medicine. Each facilitator brings their own unique abilities to retreats.
  • Our medicine is brewed “in house”, sourcing high quality materials from sustainable sources from Central America. We brew one jar at a time, prepped especially for each upcoming retreat.
  • We place a strong emphasis on Integration. Integration means applying the lessons learned during ceremony to everyday life. Integration is what separates recreational use of medicines from ceremonial & intentional use! It is very important we honor ourselves and our medicines in this way. We offer multiple integration circles during the weekend and also provide supportive resources for our participants when they go home.
  • Our Guides have been blessed with immense musical gifts that activate and amplify our Medicine. Most specifically, our participants often laud their technique at moving the energies as integral to their experience. Many Plant Medicine traditions suggest that music is the vessel which carries the ceremonial energy. The music harmonizes with the medicine and serves as a “Lighthouse” that helps each participant navigate their internal shadows & light alike. The music serves as a compass to bring us back our hearts. Whether it be the mysterious sound of the steel drum, the call of the flute or powerful icaros (medicine songs), we are confident these voices will sing you home.
  • We are officially non-profit & church. Spirituality is very important to us, but we will never be dogmatic in our beliefs. While our ceremonies are spiritually based, they are very universalist as well. Folks with secular beliefs will not have issues connecting to the ceremony experience.
  • Above all else, we strive to “keep it real”. It can feel extremely overwhelming to find the right practitioner, modality or healing space when we live in such a fast-paced world. We are happy to provide a simple, organic and humble space where you can just be yourself. We believe that everyone is a student in this space— we are all learning from one another at all times! We hope you will join us in this incredible opportunity to unravel & remember who we truly are.

Our Retreats are for you if…

  • You are looking for a retreat that is not overwhelming in size.
  • You are seeking a supportive community to connect with in the long-term– Whether it be for integration, friendship, spirituality or medicinal purposes!
  • You are unable to travel to South America or commit to a longer term retreat.
  • You are ready to commit to four weeks of Dieta- the physical and mental cleansing that prepares us for ceremony.
  • You feel a profound urge to become a better human, work on trauma, process challenging emotions, foster a deeper connection with Nature or expand your relationship with Spirit/Source/The Universe.

We are a “mobile ministry”. This means that we split our time between Upstate New York and the high desert of Arizona. We feel the call to be in service to both sides of this country. We also hope to someday soon travel to other states and offer our retreats in more locations.

In Arizona, we are hosted by community members on their properties. For our New York offerings, we have a beautiful property in the woods that we hold our retreats in. Because we host small retreats, we don’t have the need to have a large retreat center. This means that our accommodations are humble and communally shared.

Vision Statement

Our vision is to become compassionate, pure, healthy, and unconditionally loving people. Through prayer, meditation and the foundational support of our ancestors and their medicines, we humbly walk this path.

In a world shrouded by illusion, our Medicine bursts through the shadows as a shining light. We call upon the guidance of our sacred plant teachers to shed hardened layers around our heart built by the suffering we have endured.

Through dance and song, we shatter resistance keeping us from a righteous and all pervading Spiritual Relationship with life. Our ancient Amazonian Medicine combined with communal celebration yields profound healing for our selves and the entire planet.

We strongly believe in the Great Spirit that dwells within all living beings. This Spirit is alive, deeply caring and calling us home to the Present Moment. We embrace all religions and creeds. All roads lead to the same One, loving and ever-present Being.

Our Mission is to provide a sacred container, as well as education and support for those who are called to Plant Medicine. Ceremony is a state of mind that can embraced every single moment of our lives. We seek to help others cultivate this way of being through integrating spiritual experience.

We also believe that human connection is a powerful gateway to the soul. Maharani Medicine offers a community space for all people to share and grow.

We honor ourselves by truly integrating our Plant Medicine journeys. In choosing to remember Love on the daily, we help the world heal. It is our prayer that we can support people, whether they are preparing for ceremony, sitting in ceremony or integrating afterward. We want every person we meet to thrive and find great internal success. We invite you to join us!

    I booked with maharani and put all my trust in them for my first ceremony experience ever, I was not let down. They were amazing, supportive, loving and made me feel safe. The small group was exactly what I needed to heal. I walked through their door sad and confused, but left a changed person. Absolutely fantastic people and the lighthouse is a truly magical place!!

    I’ll make this quick for someone on the fence.

    I had a great experience here. The facilitators are great. The ceremony is respectful of the medicine and you. The music harmonizes everything. Don’t be fooled by pressure marketing that tells you that only the gold-plated retreats in distant lands are “authentic” or “safe”, you can read other reviews to see, some of them are neither. The medicine(s) here are effective and you will not feel like your presence is just an afterthought, going through the motions of an experience mill.

    There really are no words for the experience and the community at Maharani Medicine Circles. I want to start by saying that I have done the luxurious retreats in Costa Rica with all the amenities you could imagine. But what the medicine is truly about is the love, community, and the safety of pure intentions by our teachers. It is so clear that Eliana and her team don’t do this work for money (which is sadly very rare). They do this work because they’ve been deeply called and have been granted the gifts of service. The team curated the most beautiful healing space I could ever imagine, not to mention the way the medicine is channeled through them with music is pure magic. This team is so strong, they hold it down while letting the participants fully express themselves in their processes. They are so powerful yet equally, if not more, humble. These teachers are also students. Finding the right space is the most important part when sitting with the medicine and I finally have found my safe space on this Earth in this community. I hope I can help eliminate someone else from spending a lot of money and time going to an ayahuasca factory in South America. This is the type of space that medicine shines the brightest in, because it is so deeply pure, real, and authentic. Wherever you are in your journey, you will be granted the love and the mirror to dive deep into yourself. I hope this review leads another soul to experience the gift of transformation that I have received at Maharani Medicine Circles.

    A weekend with Eliana is like 10 years of therapy. Her medicine is just as real and strong as the medicine I was served in South America by a Peruvian shaman. But the thing that makes working with Eliana so great is how she’s able to make ancient teachings accessible and relevant for people in America today. She’s forced me to look at and help process not just trauma that was done TO me, but she’s also helped me break my own unhealthy patterns that have perpetuated a victim mentality throughout most of my adult life. And her music during ceremony … it’s like she’s channelling the grandmother, Madonna and Eve all at once — pure feminine divine pouring through her soul to you.

    It has been said, and I believe, that spirituality is not religion. It is a path for us to generate happiness, understanding and love, so that we can live deeply each moment of out life. I am so grateful that my path brought me to the ceremony I shared with Maharani Medicine Circle a few weeks ago late October in Arizona. Eliana, Austin, Erin and Becks (as well as the other facilitators) were wonderful guides. The energy container for the ceremony was meticulously curated: intense but productive. I felt well cared for the entire time and the medicine, music and atmosphere were amazing. I cannot recommend this ceremony enough.
