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.

December 31, 2018 at 7:40 pmNimea Kaya is a very special place – a true gem hidden in the Amazon jungle of Pucallpa, Peru. I found Nimea Kaya by the way of my own intuition. I visited their website and something deep inside me said “that’s it ” I had been searching for an ayauasca retreat center for months and there it was. I attended my first retreat in the new year of 2017. It was a small group – 12 of us total but it was exactly what we all needed. I had been on a healing quest for nearly my whole life but the year leading up to this retreat I had made some major shifts in my life. I set on on my solo trip to the jungle to work with plant medicine to understand creation and connect more deeply to the Divine. I was ready to expand my own healing practice by taking my self to the next level. I never expected to meet 12 beautiful souls and several other magical beings (staff and shaman’s) while on this journey, but I did. Not only did I awaken to entirly new perspective of life but I healed deep karmic ties I had been grappling with from a very difficult break up I had suffered through from 2013-2016. As well as I gained insight on my own karmic past lives and was able to understand and appreciate why I was leading the life I was in the present. It was incredibly eye opening and deeply healing experience. I walked away with whole new appreciation for the jungle as well as my soul’s journey. If you are looking to explore yourself more deeply in a beautiful setting with caring and supportive soul’s deep in the jungles of Peru this is the place for you! Much love and adoration for Nimea Kaya and all the wonderful healing work they hold space for. Xoxo Elizabeth

December 31, 2018 at 3:29 pmThis is my second trip back to the Amazon jungle & Niema Kaya!
I’m a 60 years old family man & conservative businessman that find this place as highlights of all my trips around the world with a profoundly life-changing experience that will be treasured forever!
The location is near the city of Pucallpa & it’s a piece of heaven with all the comfort that can be offered in the middle of the jungle.
As soon I got to Pucallpa airports the staffs were there to get Me with the most care and I felt I’m in good hands.
When we enter to the gate of the place & we start walking on this beautiful wooden bridge that is crafted nice & welcome you to sounds of birds singing.
An amazing journey of self-discovery and getting to know who you are in this world at a much deeper level!
The ceremonies offer with most safety and intimate setting with great knowledgeable Shamen from the shipipo community that resides alongside Tiger River in the Amazon forever!
Jill & Casey the founder of the Center are hands-on and present in every aspect of the guests stay & committed for every guest greatness showing up!
They operate with the high level of integrity and offers all the love & support for your safety during & after the ceremonies.
We where a group of 18 participants from around the world with a committed & selfless group staffs & caring volunteers like Fadi, Tommy, John, Daisy, Easy & great cooks in the kitchens that offers delicious healthy superfoods, yoga, deep meditation and more.
I highly recommend Niema Kaya to all my family & friends. Thank you ❤️✌️

December 31, 2018 at 6:29 amWhat can I say about Nimea Kaya?
The fact that I came back after my first visit means a lot to me. When I was called to work with the plant medicine as most of us, I searched the web for reviews and some recommendations about Ayahuasca retreats and after some time my heart was set on NK.
The first thing that I loved about NK even before attending there was the kind words and guidance of Jill Levers (one of the co-founders)regarding different fears and questions that I’ve had about Ayahuasca. There are so many reasons for me to recommend for whoever is interested in deep healing, a true journey to the self and meaningful spiritual experience to come to NK.
The center is located in a magical jungle land with tropical weather, vegetation, sounds of different birds, monkeys, butterflies, sloth and bugs ;).
But the true magic of this place is the ceremonies and the people who make it all happen. There is a very safe and allowing environment, build schedule that prepares the participants for the ceremonies and as the retreat continues also helps to integrate and digest the experience.
The ceremonies are being guided by two shamans each time (female and male) and the center is working with two wise, powerful and amazing pair of shamans, while there are English speaking facilitators that ae always there during the ceremonies and in between to assist and support you.
And don’t get me started about the food! Ohh, I miss those after ceremony breakfasts so much. Peruvian fresh food especially the on that the local women are making in NK every day in their lovely kitchen is a meal to remember. It’s a beautiful opportunity to be around like minded people and create true connections and friendships with people from different countries and different ages.
I feel blessed coming to NK each time and humble for the experience I get, the transformation that it welcomed into my life is priceless and I could never imagine to myself the journey it would take me on. Working with the plant medicine allowed me to step into my own heart, shed away old behavioral and mental patterns that don’t serve the future that I want to build for myself, see clearer my world, to feel the oneness that we are all are. I have traveled across the globe twice and I know that I will continue my work in Peru, looking for the next adventure into my true self.
There is no greater gift one can give to her\himself.

December 30, 2018 at 3:55 pmI am a psychologist and lifelong Searcher. As I entered my 60s and an empy nest, I began to feel the fire of “Jane, if not now, WHEN?” So in August of 2017, with no doubts in my mind that I was being called by Mother Ayahuasca, I travelled to Nimea Kaya for a Women’s Retreat. Once there my first unexpected delight was the experience of meeting my Tribe, people like me from Iran, Austria, Russia, France, Ireland, Lebanon, Canada and the US. We ten women were well-attended to by an experienced staff and by the Shipibo shamans. We were enriched by fresh, local foods, and really by the whole experience of dwelling in the jungle amongst monkeys, butterflies, even the tiny frogs sharing my shower at times.
Each of the 4 ayahuasca ceremonies were led by two shamans, one of the ceremonies led by two female shamans. There were times when hearing the healing songs of the attentive shamans and being with sisters who had also said Yes to an Unknown journey – that I knew I was in the presence of the Divine. “Receive, Jane”. Or, while waiting for the shamans to begin a ceremony – I often felt like a child – present, expectant, curious.
Now 16 months later, I have journeyed with ayahuasca many times. I have been “laid low,” seen the depths of my own woundedness and also experienced Wellbeing. I have been able to let go of old childhood traumas. I continue to be healed.
If you too know in your heart that you are being called to the jungle, GO! At Nimea Kaya you will be in good hands.

December 21, 2018 at 8:49 pmI attended an Ayahuasca retreat at Nimea Kaya in July of 2017. It was a remarkable experience that I’ll always remember and reflect on. The staff was fantastic. They were ALL loving caring and supportive. Everything was well organized and the vegan meals were great and plentiful. I loved the indigenous shaman facilitating the ceremonies. The Shipibo people bringing their artwork and clothing to sell was also a great experience. Great people everywhere. All in an environment where I felt safe and secure from the very beginning.
Some parts of the ceremonies were a little tough but there were times where I experienced the warmest feeling of love and a connection to all those present that is hard to describe. This was my first and I plan on returning to Nimea Kaya again. Gary Abel
