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 28, 2022 at 4:12 pmI was very nervous about attending ceremony and Eliana gave me so much support, education, and empowered me to take the plunge and I eventually signed up for a weekend to take part. She then gave so much great information to ensure that all participants were preparing in the best way possible and how we can make sure we have our mind and body ready for the journeys we’re about to go on. One of my major takeaways from the weekend were to aim to have more gratitude in my life. The very first thing I expressed gratitude about was Eliana and her team of completely selfless people who spend their own time, effort, and energy to make sure we are having the most comfortable weekend we can have. They make sure we are safe, we are supported, we are empowered, we are worthy of our journeys. I personally had an incredible experience and left the weekend with a greater understanding of myself and where I want to, but Eliana and the team just made me feel like I’m safe no matter what happens. Their only goal is to provide is a supported, educated, safe space and for us to focus on our journeys. Forever grateful to these lovely humans and this incredible experience. So no matter if you’re just exploring, preparing, the weekend itself, during the depth of your journey within ceremony, or processing and integrating, she’s there to help and guide. During ceremony, she’s the guiding light when you feel aimless and helps you focus on your inner journey. It also helps that she has an INCREDIBLE voice and her music is really a beautiful addition to the entire weekend. Overall just the most amazing experience and I’m so thankful.

August 28, 2022 at 2:13 pmI have had the pleasure of joining Maharani Medicine Circles for several ceremonies.
First, I’d like to stress the emphasis they place on safety. Eliana and her team of facilitators have always put safety first. Medical screening, education and assistance pre-ceremony, ensuring proper set and setting, and a focus on intentional integration during and after ceremony are just a few of the ways Eliana and her team have set my mind at ease and allowed me to be fully present for the process.
Eliana’s singing voice is nothing short of heavenly. Her choices of music during ceremony, along with her words, prayers, wisdom, and affirmations help to gently guide everyone in the container through whatever the medicine brings to the surface.
Life changing are the only words that come to mind when I reflect on the growth that has happened in my life since I sat with Maharani Medicine Circles. As a 20-year military vet with military-related trauma, as well as a having challenging youth, Eliana and her team have helped heal the wounds and put me in a better place. I’ve had more than 5 years of several types of therapy, but it I didn’t see meaningful lasting change within myself until I sat with Maharani Medicine Circles.

August 25, 2022 at 1:59 pmI have sat with Maharani Medicine Circles twice now and could not recommend them anymore confidentially or enthusiastically. MMC is the only place in the United States I will sit with the medicine. In many ways I even prefer MMC to sitting ceremony down in South America based on my experience.
The way that MMC holds ceremony is something truly special. Whether a first timer or veteran of the ceremony space, you feel a strong sense of the divine feminine through the music and intentional space being held, just as you yourself will feel held during the ceremony by the experienced medicine carrier and associated facilitators.
Another aspect of MMC that you won’t quite find elsewhere is how consciously cultivated the integration process is. As magical as the medicine is, the real magic is in how you understand and apply the lessons learned during your ayahuasca experience to your daily life post-ceremony. MMC makes integration throughout your weekend and afterward a prime focus which speaks to the authenticity and care you will feel in choosing them as your circle.
I could go on and on about how amazing MMC is, but I will leave one final reflection specifically for folks like myself who have careers in the helping fields. There is a great deal of talk right now in mental health and medical treatment about the potential that these medicines may have in treating trauma and other mental/physical illness. While we are totally sitting for ourselves in these experiences, an incredible byproduct of making this choice to sit with MMC is how much their style translates to the work we do as clinicians/medical professionals. MMC ceremonies have absolutely shifted and TRANSFORMED my perspective and made me such a better therapist to the teens I work with. each day. If you’re still reading this review, you know your heart already feels that MMC is the perfect fit for you.

August 24, 2022 at 11:22 pmElianna’s ceremony was the most sacred and safe place I’ve experienced. As we all including myself are deep in ceremony and in such a sacred , vulnerable, and open state of deep subconscious. Her love and live singing guide you as it were meant to be one by one. She gives herself in all to serve others as you are on your journey. Her team of facilitators protect you as you travel where your to go . They are definitely a strong group of women and men that were there for me during the entire ceremony.
