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 5, 2019 at 3:09 pmThe Medicine is in the jungle and connected to Shipibo culture- Nimea Kaya is a sacred oasis..
Everything I ever envisioned my experience to be was met and exceeded at Nimea Kaya. The land is sacred and well-maintained, accommodations cozy and comfortable (with individual cabins to co-op space), kitchen, bath, showers and lots of room to roam free, sit in seclusion or join in on the many activities planned in conjunction with your ayahuasca ceremonies. The Shamans at Nimea Kaya are beautiful and above all, powerful conduits for connecting you with the spirit of the medicine. Nimea Kaya’s 9 day retreat is affordable and well worth your time and investment in healing not only yourself, but aiding in the evolution of consciousness as we shift into a higher density field where once we find ourselves healing in our own story, we start to heal the collective simualtaneously. Integrating is made easy by the tremendous staff of facilitators who are there to aid in each individuals process as they move through each ceremony with the medicine. group activities like yoga, meditation are also included and the food is absolutely to die for. All in all, my experience was one that has kept me coming back for the last 3 years. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and above all, this medicine’s home is here in Peru and I feel it is imperative to meet the medicine in its home.

January 4, 2019 at 6:50 amWhen I was first looking to work with the medicine I was very cautious and nervous about choosing a retreat because I had heard some retreats don’t have the best intentions. I did a lot of research when booking my place at Nimea Kaya and I must say it was one of the most transformative place’s I have ever been I attended the retreat November 11th – 20th 2018 a perfect way to end the year plus the sun was constantly shinning. At the retreat I felt very taking care of with Jill and the facilitators helping me every step of the way from helping me with difficult times while working with the medicine to helping me process the whole experience, I really couldn’t put into words how much the Nimea Kaya team helped me they where so naturing and held so much space for all of us with a constant smile on there face and no judgement. The food was also amazing I was not looking forward to the ayahuasca diet but I must say the salads and constant fresh fruit where a blessing with the breakfast being my favourite meal normal consisting of a smoothie bowl with homemade granola. I really couldn’t recommend this place enough I am planning to re-visit the centre later in this year and I am really looking forward to work with the medicine and to share space with the Nimea Kaya family once again.

January 3, 2019 at 3:02 pmI attended a 9 day retreat at Nimea Kaya in late October 2018. After a long time considering different retreat centres, I decided to go here firstly because of a recommendation from a friend, and secondly due to being impressed with their website and contact with them, which both made it clear this was a place concerned both for the participants and the people of the Amazon, and not just out to exploit people.
I am very glad to have chosen this place – the experience itself, while being very beneficial and profound, was intense enough that I wouldn’t want to be in a situation where I didn’t have adequate support in a positive atmosphere. And in both these aspects, Nimea Kaya was perfect.
The staff and volunteers there made sure all our worries were taking care of, and that any support needed was on hand. Everything from nice food, a great location, and activities like yoga, meditation, an art market and an visit to a Shipibo village, helped to ensure we were in the best mindset possible. And the Shipibo maestros who conducted the ceremony, singing the icaros and being around the next morning to talk, really made the experience something else. I felt in safe hands with them.
I’m not sure if and when I will work with Ayahuasca again, but if I do, I hope it’s at Nimea Kaya. I really only have good things to say about the place and everyone there.

January 2, 2019 at 12:11 pmNimea Kaya offers anyone seeking an authentic ayahuasca experience the perfect opportunity to do so in a supportive and friendly atmosphere. The staff is so welcoming, the food so fresh, tasty, and healthy; and the accommodations simple, yet peaceful and comfortable.
But the ceremonies! Magical would be an understatement. The shamans are the real deal. The ayahuasca experience is challenging to say the least. And the staff at Nimea Kaya are like visiting angels guiding you through it all. I plan on going back again and again!
There are so many retreat offers on the internet these days and many might save you a little money. But I believe you get what you pay for, and Nimea Kaya does it right! They not only offer the best introduction to ayahuasca imaginable, they also work with the locals to improve the living conditions in the area. They are compassionate about making the world a better place. Sustainability, not profitability, is their focus.
Thank you Nimea Kaya! I will see you all again soon!

January 2, 2019 at 9:51 amI was at the Nov 7 retreat 2018. My time at Nimea Kaya can be described as nothing less than transformative and life changing. I had reached a point in my life where I was alive and going through the motions but not really living. I had an amazing childhood with normal ups and downs but always felt a sense of detachment, deep fear of getting close to others and deep fear of loving myself, as I aged, this only became more and more entrenched in my day to day life. I tried everything from substances, to counseling, to the church, really anything that I could grasp onto to help me or something to blame.
My time at Nimea Kaya was the most important thing I could have given myself and I hope that everyone can one day have the opportunity to work with the Medicine. I was immediately welcomed as family by the facilitators who became family. The grounds were pristine and welcoming, a real haven in the hustle and bustle around. The food was delicious, fresh and healthy and the vibe was of peace, love and understanding. While work with the medicine isn’t always fun and not easy its ALWAYS worth it, after the retreat I went forth with a sense of purpose, an understanding of life and a calm forgiveness of myself and those who had done harm to me, but most importantly LOVE!!! I truly hope one day everyone can experience the magic that is this medicine and I have Nimea Kaya to thank for making that possible.
