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 Retreats are for you if…
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.

Please message us if you’d like more information about our retreats or upcoming schedule. We are always available to talk about this work if you have any questions. Thanks so much for reading and many blessings!
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!

August 8, 2023 at 4:09 pmI struggle with being able to trust and feel safe with others, I usually don’t feel most people are capable of fully meeting me and understanding me. I did not feel that way at all within the container created by Eliana. She has an incredibly formidable spirit, and an essence about her that I felt safe to let go and trust in her guidance. She keeps it real, holds it down, and cuts through any BS. The whole atmosphere is highly intentional and sets you up for safety from the moment you arrive. You are greeted warmly with hugs, everyone is required to hand over phones and keys prior to ceremony, and the group sharing component is key for integration. Hearing other people’s shares sparks a light within you, leading to more clarity and a-ha moments, and people are so loving and supportive during your time to share. I could go on, but truly it’s a challenging and beautiful experience and you could read all the reviews in the world, but you need to go within and trust in what is calling you. In what can be an otherwise tough world, this place is your soft place to land.

August 7, 2023 at 4:21 pmI could not have asked for a better experience than the one I had with Eliana and her loving facilitators. They hold a beautiful safe container for what can be a difficult yet profoundly amazing healing experience. I left with a deep love for everyone I sat with. I am so grateful I did not choose another retreat as I cannot imagine being with a larger group. This was a life changing, transformative experience for me. I feel called to return and serve the space. You will not regret choosing her. If you are reading this, you are meant to be here.

August 7, 2023 at 1:36 pmI’ve sat in ceremony in South America and had a great experience, but after going to two medicine retreats at Maharani Medicine Circles, I honestly only want to sit with this group and recommend them highly to my friends and family who are interested in this type of healing modality. Healing with plant medicines can be a very vulnerable and intense experience, and Eliana and her facilitators do an incredible job at making sure everyone is cared for with compassion and patience and gentleness. I also really really love how down to earth these folks are and some of my favorite memories from this year are all the laughter and hugs and moments of joy i had here. I felt so supported and loved while working through some really tough stuff, and i feel so blessed to have found them and all the beautiful human beans i got to meet and befriend in ceremony here. If your ready, this is the place and the crew!

August 7, 2023 at 9:33 amWhat a wonderful experience. I’ve been here twice in the past 4 year and this is truly a safe space to be open. Everyone is so professional and caring. For me it got very heavy at one point but never to worry. You go up to one of the facilitators and they will help guide you into a more productive space. It may be hard but you will learn about yourself.

July 18, 2023 at 2:57 pmMy experience with Maharani Medicine Circles was soul affirming and transformative. It was my first experience sitting with Aya and I’m so grateful that it was with Eliana and her facilitators. The communication prior to ceremony weekend was thorough and thoughtful. There was no question left unanswered prior to my departure for the ceremonial weekend. I felt safe, cared for and at ease the entire time. The atmosphere at the location was incredible. I felt nestled into a quiet pocket in the middle of boundless nature. Both attendees and facilitators were welcoming and open to receiving questions from those of us who were new to this journey.
The ceremonies were filled with love, compassion, support, and respect. There was never a time that I reached out for help and wasn’t greeted with it immediately. The atmosphere was inviting. It is amazing to feel the vibration amidst a group of people who sincerely want only the highest good for one another. Having one of our ceremonies outdoors was wonderful and changed the tone entirely. Being amongst the grass, trees, water, fire, flowers and creatures of nature was especially healing.
As others have said before me, Eliana’s voice and the music integrated into ceremony is otherworldly. It was a form of support all on its own, as each of us experienced a different connection between our journey and the lyrics and melodies. The integration circles were immensely helpful. Everyone sharing what had become apparent for them during ceremony was incredibly healing and there was a clear line of connectivity through the shared experiences. Everyone’s contribution was important and held deep truths. It was an experience unlike anything else I’ve ever had, and I’m so grateful that I found this group. Anyone considering sitting with the medicine would be wise to reach out to Eliana and consider joining.
