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.

November 18, 2018 at 10:35 amI have chosen Nimea Kaya retreat based on the reviews I have researched on the web and attended my first retreat in July 2018. I did not know what to expect at first from the Ayahuasca medicine at first, but what I have experienced was mind-blowing. It is hard though to explain everything is simple words, since the one who did not go through this can only hardly understand.
The place itself was just awesome and I cannot express my gratitude enough to all those people who were taking care of us on daily basis, not only with organizing – which I have to say was precise but also with the tasteful local and of course organic food. The accommodation, as well as the place itself, was calming and only help with the result of the retreat for all of the participants.
What more I loved the integration circles, where you could compare and share your experiences with there rest of the group. Even thou I did not feel comfortable with it at the start.
I am planning to visit this awesome place again in near future. I recommend it to all.

November 16, 2018 at 3:45 pmThis place is pure magic. I cannot stress enough that if you are feeling called to work with this amazing plant medicine, Nimea Kaya is absolutely the healing center for you. It starts from the top down and Jill and Casey (who run the center) are two of the most kind, compassionate, and caring individuals I have ever met. They are dedicated and passionate about working with Mother Ayahuasca and it truly shows. I have actually attended two retreats there and wouldn’t dare go anywhere else. From the minute you arrive at the airport in Pucallpa to your departure nine days later you are taken care of beyond belief! The center is located in the most beautiful jungle setting with top notch amenities to boot. The food is INCREDIBLE! It is plant based, super nutritious and made with love and pure intention from the wonderful kitchen staff. Some of the best food I’ve ever had. Yoga, meditation, high vibe classes, and integration circles happen every day and are such an integral part of the healing process too. There really are no words for the Ayahuasca ceremonies themselves. You’ve just got to experience them. You are extremely well taken care of by the shamans and facilitators. The entire staff is unbelievable. Have I even mentioned the friendships that you make for life while going through this with others?! This only happens because of the love, energy, and expertise that is put into this place. Nimea Kaya is absolutely magical. It helped make me into the person I am today and I am forever grateful. I could go on and on but just know there should be no doubt in your mind that Nimea Kaya is the right place for you…

November 16, 2018 at 5:55 amI have attended two retreats at the Nimea Kaya retreat center.
My first retreat was in June/July 2015, my second retreat was in August 2016.
Both experiences were exceptional. They brought significant shifts in my life, a community I can rely on to support me on my personal healing journey, as well as a new found love for life and awe at everything that is.
The Nimea Kaya center is one I recommend highly due to several reasons. First of all, I found that a great balance is created between the authenticity of the Ayahuasca medicine and traditions, with a comfortable and safe environment for deep healing.
One on hand, the brew and the shamans create a real authentic experience, one that can be trusted and creates a deep bond with the traditions of the Shipibo people and the Ayahuasca medicine. The ceremonies are held in genuine ritualistic ways, holding a space for significant transformation with the great work of the shaman and the quality of the brew. Furthermore, the opportunity is there for each group to make their own brew, which is done throughout the retreat and drunk on the last ceremony.
On the other hand, the way the retreat centre is managed creates a real trust, comfort and sense of safety. The accommodation is great, with real immersion with nature whilst comfortable spaces for rest and individual reflection. The maloka, where the ceremonies are held, is amazing. it’s a great space, with everything to wish for: plenty of space for all the guests, compost toilets easy to reach, a back room for extra space, and some sitting area and hammocks outside for further connection with nature during ceremonies.
The food is excellent, with a local staff ensuring that the property is well maintained, the dieta is respected, the amenities are well taken care of and cleaned.
I also enjoyed the exposure to local communities and the many projects Nimea Kaya is involved with, providing all kinds of support to the people living on the Amazon.
Overall, I recommend it highly, as a trusthworty place for deep healing and support.

November 14, 2018 at 8:41 pmLife changing and profound are the words I use to describe my visits to Nimea Kaya. My first visit was in April 2016, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to experience ayahuasca for the first time – from the moment I arrived I knew I was in the right place! I did my research before coming out to Peru, and people I trust had recommended staying at Nimea Kaya. I am grateful I listened to them as my time there was an even more profound experience than I could have hoped for.
Nimea Kaya is a truly special place that can change the direction and outlook of life for those who visit. The facilities are fantastic – just the right balance between the simplicity of jungle life and enough comforts to immediately make it feel like home. The ceremonies are beautiful experiences, led by caring and experienced local Shipibo shamen, and the staff and facilitators are hugely supportive and experienced on their own paths, making it a safe place to dive deeply into your personal journey.
Working with plant medicine is not easy, but if you feel the calling I can’t recommend Nimea Kaya enough. I have since returned to Nimea Kaya several times, and it’s no exaggeration to say this place has changed my life.

November 14, 2018 at 6:57 pmWhat can I say about the place that helped me change my life?
Nimea Kaya is a veritable Garden of Eden complete with its own Angles (their facilitators) While at the retreat the relationships I built and the love that came from these people is nothing short of magical. During ceremonies, I felt like I could get into the headspace easier knowing that I had these wonderful people there taking care of anything I needed.
Before going to my first retreat in 2016 I was a private military contractor, and I was in the Marine Corps infantry before that. My life before drinking Ayahuasca was very different than most may be used to. I was suffering from nightmares, panic attacks, and overall unhappiness.
Ayahuasca helped me to heal and completely cure all of my previous emotional trauma. After that short 9-day retreat Nimea Kaya fully helped me become a brand new man, in every sense of the words from diet to mindfulness practices, a renewed interest in spirituality and philosophy. I am so grateful to this facility and all of the people involved with this wonderful place. I would recommend Nimea Kaya to anyone! 10 stars in my opinion!
