Our Selva Spirit Association NGO focuses on raising the awareness in the preservation of shamanic traditions, reforestation projects as well as multiple health programs implemented in the surrounding communities.
Shamanic Retreats:
Our shamanic retreats are designed to accommodate each individual on their path of awakening and healing. We offer a series of three or four Ayahuasca ceremonies per retreat with a local Shipibo Shamans, also known as a Curandero or Maestro. Our healers have been well established in the shamanic ayahuasca practice for several decades. Our medicine is brewed with only the ayahuasca vine and chacruna leaves. Our ceremonies are facilitated with the utmost integrity and responsibility. There are always four to six of our staff members in every ceremony helping our guests through their healing journeys with the sacred medicine. Drinking the ayahuasca medicine during ceremonies allows the participants to expand their consciousness to a multi-faceted universe. Ayahuasca takes the individual through a process of cleansing the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. The individual journeys through a series of visions often receiving profound realizations that lead them to a place of healing, understanding and balance within themselves.
During the course of the retreat we offer facilitated group sharing and one on one counseling. Our groups are no larger than 14 people so we may accommodate a more intimate and personal setting during ceremony. Our ceremonial Maloca is very spacious, providing a comfortable environment for the profound experience. It is situated in the midst of beautiful native plants and trees where where natures orchestra graciously joins us in our sacred ceremonies.
We provide for our guests with herbal and floral baths with a unique blend of plants and flowers from the surrounding jungle after each ceremony. The plant baths help to wash away any negative energies stagnant in the body and help prepare the participant for a more profound healing with the plant medicine Ayahuasca. The invigorating and cleansing bath will help rejuvenate your spirit.

January 9, 2019 at 6:44 pmI know the feeling… You are searching the Internet looking into different Ayahuasca retreats, doing your research by checking multiple websites and reading and watching tons of reviews. All with the purpose of finding the best place to work with this sacred medicine. Well honestly there is no need to look any further. I tell you from my heart that Nimea Kaya is the answer and the place to go!
I went to Nimea Kaya for my first Ayahuasca retreat in the end of November 2018, attending the last retreat of 2018, and what an incredible, unforgettable and profound experience. Everything about Nimea Kaya is simply amazing and so well thought through.
Upon my arrival at Nimea Kaya I had no previous experience with Ayahuasca, and when I was searching for the right place for me to work with this medicine, safety was my upmost concern. Being in a safe setting and working with real shamans were the most important aspects for me. That is why I focus on safety in this review to address the concerns you might have regarding this matter. Ayahuasca is neither a game nor something to be taken lightly at all and my recent personal experiences from my Ayahuasca ceremonies only confirmed this. My ceremonies were extremely challenging for me both physically and emotionally. However, not once did I ever feel scared or unsafe. I knew and felt 100% that I was in the right place, in perfectly safe hands and so well protected, looked after and cared for by both the amazing shamans and amazing facilitators. Feeling completely safe made me able to surrender to the medicine and focus on the work I needed done within myself. I learned that Ayahuasca gives you what you need and not necessarily what you want. I needed to deal with a lot of tough stuff that was stuck inside me and it is the hardest and most profound self-work I have ever done and accordingly it is the most rewarding. I am so grateful that I followed my call and decided to work with Ayahuasca and I am equally grateful that I chose to do it at Nimea Kaya. Long story short, I have just booked my second retreat going back to Nimea Kaya in a few months and I can’t wait. I guess that says it all! 🙂

January 8, 2019 at 5:06 pmJuly 2014 was my first time and I was back within two years #August 2016 because #Nimea Kaya is the #best place to #escape and #unwind. It’s like nothing you have ever done before. The only #trip
You will ever remember. I tryed something new because a close friend asked me to join him. It was the best thing I had ever done. None of these reviews can explain the #life #changing #experience you will #encounter here at #NimeaKaya. Their 20 something years of experience shows in the small details and extreme knowledge they share.
I have been all around the world I’ve stayed at over 100 retreats. This is the only place I have booked twice.
I plan to book again a third time to bring my husband. Don’t hesitate. They book up quickly. I had to pick a different week when I booked the second time because my preferred week was sold out.

January 8, 2019 at 10:41 amMy experience with the Nimea Kaya retreat wasn’t from me attending the amazing 9 day retreat, but by seeing the spiritual difference in my 2 friends (Robin & Kidisha) when they returned. Prior to the trip they weren’t open to new ideas, not exercising, super introverted, very materialistic, and ungrateful with poor punctuality. When they both came back to Toronto, Canada ( August 2016 ) they walked and carried themselves as if they had a halo around them.
Everything we disagreed on before their trip was being brought up with hopes to re-negotiate without me having to mention anything. Robin came back rejuvenated, no longer materialistic and more punctual. Prior to the trip she was the most introverted person but returned a more bubbly and grateful person towards myself and to her closest family and friends.

January 7, 2019 at 12:57 amI first visited Nimea Kaya in July 2016. It was my first trip to South America and my first experience working with Ayahuasca. From the moment I was picked up at the airport, I felt safe, comfortable, and cared for in the hands of Nimea Kaya’s staff.
Upon arriving at the retreat center I was immediately drawn to the land and how carefully it had been cared for. We were fed right away, one of many healthy, whole meals we would gather for in our time at the center.
The housing was modest and perfect, thoughtfully designed so that each guest can have the most immersive experience in the jungle possible.
The Ayahuasca ceremonies themselves were handled with tremendous care and attention to detail. The facilitators did everything they could to give us each the space to explore ourselves and to work with the medicine, and if we ever needed to lean on them—for a pillow, for a walk outside, for comfort, they were there to help us with our journey.
All of the shamans I worked with during my time at the center were powerful. They led ceremony with tremendous grace, and their abilities in helping the medicine to do its work cannot be over stated. They are, truly, some of the most beautiful people I have ever encountered.
As the days stretched on at Nimea Kaya, I felt nurtured on every level. The facility is run with complete competency and ease, and everyone who works there—from the owners to the Shipibo people the center employs—approaches their work with kindness, patience and love.
Between ceremonies there many nourishing classes to engage in—from art classes, to meditation workshops and yoga. The center was an immersive experience and in that care and support the sometimes beautiful, sometimes ecstatic, sometimes terrifying work of Ayahuasca could be done.
From my time in Peru I forged multiple close friendships that are still important to me. I have been to other centers since Nimea Kaya, but this center just does everything better.
If you’re hearing the call to work with the medicine, this is a very supportive environment to do so.
