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!

June 26, 2025 at 9:37 amI drove 8 hours up to Maharani Medicine at the beginning of the June for an Ayahuasca Shadow Work retreat. I am pretty experienced with the medicine and have brewed and sat alone over 20 times. I am also a Conscious Breathwork Practitioner who works in a healing capacity with clients. My last group ceremony was in 2018 with my teacher and a group of around 20.
Having said all that, my experience at Maharani Medicine was nothing short of spectacular. I let go of bitterness, anger, and resentment that I didn’t even know I had, and also went really deep into the spiritual realm, even meeting the Greek Gods and Goddesses in what I can only describe as a revelation. Eliana and Austin hold beautiful space and also have beautiful voices. Vidu was the Shadow Work instructor, and if you are struggling in your life, I highly recommend visiting when he is co-facilitating. I learned a lot watching him work with me and the other participants, and again, I also experienced deep, profound healing.
I cannot recommend Maharani Medicine enough, and even if you live 8 hours away like I do, it is certainly worth the pilgrimage. You matter. Your mental health matters. Plant Medicine works, and it works even better when you are being guided by experienced, compassionate facilitators.
Love and Wisdom always,
Michael Boothby

May 20, 2025 at 8:41 amI was fortunate enough to learn of maharani medicine at a women’s music and medicine retreat. I went to a plant medicine discussion hosted by Eliana. I had been interested in experiencing this type of offering for quite some time however, I had very little knowledge in it’s regard. As I listened to Eliana, speak, I connected very deeply with her words. I knew instantly that if I were to take this journey, she would be the one I would want to facilitate it. She spoke with such profound knowledge and respect of the medicine, the process, and the people involved. I felt complete trust in her and in what she is doing. I followed up with Eliana shortly after having met her. She was very accessible and answered any question with amazing insight. She listened to my story, my fears and my intentions with compassion and love. In the months leading to my ceremony, I was very serious in my dedication to my dieta. Eliana was supportive and encouraging. Being that I live fairly close to the location of the retreat, I was able to visit before ceremony to get a feel for the environment. I was able to sit with some of the facilitators and speak about my concerns. Everyone I met that day listened to me with love and kindness and were able to gift their insight to me.
Until I was in an environment, where there truly is no judgment, I had no idea how that actually felt. I felt so unconditionally loved, seen and accepted by everyone…facilitators and participants.
Everyone’s voices, fears, loves, hates, joys, triumphs were respected and nurtured in this space. In between ceremonies I had some things surface that I was having an especially difficult time processing. Eliana and Austin welcomed me with open hearts and took all of the time that was needed to listen to me and help me work through it. Their wisdom helped to provide an experience for the second night of ceremony that I can only describe in one word… solace. Every part of my being felt safe, enough, worthy and soothed. I felt an incredible sense of belonging, writhing myself and within the group.
I was able to gain access to tools within myself to unconditionally love and nurture myself when I left the space. I have felt and seen this beautiful gift radiate from my energy field to positively affect others around me. This type of healing has been and continues to be an extraordinary experience for me. I remain in contact with the other participants and the facilitators from the ceremonies that I attend and look forward to every integration call. I feel a strong sense of connection and community. Eternally grateful to Maharani Medicine.

April 7, 2025 at 3:39 amI can honestly say my 2-day ceremony retreat with Maharani Medicine was one of the most profound and transformational experiences of my life.
From the moment I arrived, I felt safe, seen, and deeply supported. Austin, Mitchel, Jake, and Lex each brought something unique and powerful to the space—holding it with incredible wisdom, presence, and care. Their guidance was never forceful, but always intentional. You could tell they weren’t just facilitators—they were walking the path themselves.
Whether it was through the way they handled ceremony, how they attuned to group energy, the one-on-one support they offered, and even just making things fun and engaging, each of them created an environment where deep healing and insight could truly take place. They knew when to step in and when to give space. And when things got intense, their calm presence was everything.
Even after the ceremonies, they continue to check in, offer tools, and create space for real, grounded transformation—reminding me that the journey doesn’t end, it evolves.
I can’t thank Austin, Mitchel, Jake, and Lex enough. You’ve changed my life in ways I’m still discovering.

March 13, 2025 at 1:13 pmMy two night experience with Maharani Medicine was nothing but a live changing miracle. I had all type of intentions before hand, but nothing prepared me for what grandmother had for me. She pulled out of me something I didn’t even know was a problem until I faced it. No words can’t describe the journey I went through and the blessings. I’m extremely grateful for Austin, Lex, Mitchel and Jake for giving me and everyone else there the care and guidance to help us get through our struggles. The people at Maharani Medicine our genuinely compassionate and trustworthy on the work they do. If you decide to join them on a healing process believe me when I tell you that you’re in good hands.
Thank you!

March 12, 2025 at 4:27 amI absolutely got what I went for. The level of healing that I experienced is honestly immeasurable, as the fallout of it is still unfolding. The facilitators that assisted in delivering me to this incredible and wise spirit were some of the most kind people I’ve ever had the pleasure of interacting with. Their level of authentic dedication and care deepened my ability to show up for myself in a way that I didn’t realize was possible. I genuinely cannot imagine any team doing a better job at what these individuals have accomplished.
I will, for the rest of my days, think back on my experience with the deepest sense of gratitude that my being has the capability of expressing.
If you’re reading this and you think that ayahuasca may be the right path for you, you couldn’t pick a better team than Maharani. I couldn’t recommend it enough. Love and light to all, I love you.
