About Aya Madre Healing Center

Located deep in the Peruvian jungle near Iquitos, Aya Madre is an authentic Shipibo healing center run by Maestra Estela Pangoza, a world-renowned shaman with decades of experience. The center offers:

RUSTIC FACILITIES:

Sleep in hand-built wooden huts (tambos), each equipped with a bed and desk. Electricity and Skylink Wi-Fi are available in communal areas.

CEREMONY MALOCAS:

Experience powerful ayahuasca ceremonies in hand-crafted malocas.

NATURAL AMENITIES:

Swim in a pristine jungle river, hike serene trails, and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the jungle.

IMMERSIVE SETTING:

Surround yourself with the vibrant energy of the rainforest, a vibrant part of the journey.

WHY THIS EXPERIENCE IS UNIQUE

This isn’t your typical wellness retreat—it’s an intimate and deeply personalized mind-body-soul expanding experience different from westernized ayahuasca retreats that honors ayahuasca’s authentic roots. Whether it’s your very first time or you’re here for a traditional experience, I’ll be present along the way during this bucket list journey.

SACRED CEREMONIES:

Maestra Estela intuitively determines the right dosage for each participant, ensuring a uniquely personal experience.

1:1 HEALING:

During ceremonies, the Maestra and her cousin sing icaros-powerful medicine songs-directly to each participant, guiding their healing journey.

INTIMATE GROUP:

With fewer than 12 participants per ceremony, the experience is both focused and profound.

WHY I'M LEADING THIS RETREAT

In 2024, I embarked on a #40for40 bucket list journey, traveling to 40 destinations around the world to celebrate turning 40. Doing ayahuasca in the jungles of Peru was a nonnegotiable part of that journey. My experience at Aya Madre was beautiful, helping me heal from the past and gain profound insights. Now, I feel called to guide others through this powerful experience.

During my week at Aya Madre, I learned the power of surrender—trusting the process and releasing control. I gained clarity on healing important relationships, like with my twin brother, and rediscovered the foundation of self-love, even writing myself a love letter during ceremony. The experience reminded me to trust the universe’s flow and embrace life’s unexpected paths. Most importantly, I realized my true gift: seeking transformative experiences that blend connection and adventure, like this retreat.
