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!

February 27, 2023 at 7:40 pmI can’t even begin to describe the healing I felt, sitting with Eliana, Austin, and the team of facilitators. They offer an inviting and safe environment to grow and heal from our traumas in a way I never thought possible. The integration circles and use of different medicines, along with the amazing music performed by Eliana and her team throughout the ceremony really provided the atmosphere everyone should be looking for in these kinds of ceremonies. Additionally, the small groups make it easy to quickly build new friendships that I feel will last a lifetime. I can’t thank them enough for the work they do and I will definitely be back to continue on my journey of healing and growth.

January 23, 2023 at 11:14 pmThis space, this community, this medicine – saved my life. I was called to Ayahuasca after painful years of battling with mental illness. I tried inpatient and outpatient therapy, a cocktail of different antidepressants and anxiety meds, I even sought out one of the leading researchers of trauma, and yet I was not getting better – almost worse. And divine intervention brought me to Eliana, and I could not be more grateful. Sitting in ceremony changed my life over night. I saw how deeply loved I am. I was embraced and cradled by grandmother Aya and I have never felt more safe and at home. Since attending Ayahuasca, I have found mental stability, peace & harmony, and a life that I truly adore.
Eliana has this way about her that makes you feel like family the second you meet her. She truly is a healer, a guider of light. She was able to provide me reassurance as I ventured into this journey and then she watches over you, letting your journey unfold as it needs to. She taught me how to be brave, how to be a true warrior. And of course, she has the voice of angel. Her music dances in your cells and resonates deep in your heart.
I went back to Maharani Medicine Circle after I recently lost my dad and the space she created allowed me to grieve and feel unapologetically. Eliana and the community she attracts allows you to be your most authentic self. To get out of the head and tap into the heart. This medicine is powerful and with Eliana, it is in the right hands. If you’re curious about plant medicine, about discovering your truth, about exploring the cosmos, this is the place to do it.
Finding Maharani Medicine Circle is one of my deepest blessings in this lifetime. I hope you find it too 🙂

January 20, 2023 at 12:36 pmI have had profound experiences sitting with Maharani Medicine Circles. They hold a strong and gentle container, making one feel safe to let go and surrender to the experience. I felt trust and connection, with the perfect mix of quiet and music, guidance and allowing. I highly recommend MMC to anyone considering sitting in ceremony. It was, above all, a sacred experience which has truly changed my life.

January 19, 2023 at 10:36 pmMy wife and I have sat with medicine twice in the last year with Eliana. Once in NY and once in AZ and both times were an incredible experience. Eliana is an amazing medicine woman is a wonderful guide. The ceremony is an intimate setting and the groups are always small to ensure each person feels looked after and gets individual attention from her and the facilitators. I had an amazing experience both times I sat with medicine. After our first ceremony, I turned to my wife and said “”I wonder if people will recognize me now” – I felt like a completely new person. I have a new, healthier relationship with myself and have a new perspective on who I am and what my place in the world is. I was able to heal some fundamental childhood traumas that kept me in a people-pleasing mentality and am better able to set boundaries with people and release those relationships that no longer serve my higher purpose. Eliana was a key part of that transformation due to her loving nature, amazing musicality and beautiful singing voice. She was able to channel what I needed to guide me and allow me to realize my intention. My wife and I have such gratitude for Eliana and all the facilitators for the service they provide to the comminuty.

December 23, 2022 at 3:29 amI “review” restaurants, motels, Uber drivers….. I can’t “review” Maharani Medicine Circles, that would be like reviewing the fireman who comes in to save you from a burning house! What would I say? “Tom the fireman did a pretty good job of waking me up while the house was burning down around me. Then he showed me that everything I needed was already within me and that the Universe loves me as I am because I am part of it, and I am part of every other being on this Earth! He also showed me that the wondrous love within me also resides in every other human being. 5 Stars” SERIOUSLY?
There is no judgment to base them on, there is only overflowing gratitude that pours abundantly from the wellspring that the medicine found and opened within me! And while under the influence of the medicine, there were periods where I did not know what to do next, except to just lay or sit there. That’s when Eliana and her Facilitators sang me through my journeys. The words, the music, the overwhelming LOVE expressed in that room lifted me out of the river of indecision and pulled me into the boat of hope, and floated this, and other souls to the next place where Mother Ayahuasca continued her loving work.
This is not something that can be “reviewed”. This is God. This Is Love. This is pure light.
Shall I give “five” stars to the Medicine and the People that revealed the countless stars of the universe within me?
All I can say is, If you are just looking to “do Ayahuasca”, don’t waste yours or their time.
But if you want to KNOW what it’s like to sit under a gifted Shaman and Loving Facilitators while Mother Ayahuasca does her work in you……. Look no further.
Love, Light and Support to All of you who seek Mother Ayahuasca and the beauty of true Love!
